Member Review
This anime is good some of the Alices arent bad and some are just weird. This anime has a storyline but sometimes it goes off to a random episode. But I only remember it happening once. I wouldnt mind watching this Anime again. Also has some good laughs.

Has a pretty good range of charaters. The only bad thing about this anime I think it should've been longer seems like that last episode was rushed cause 2nd to last episode seemed like the middle. So feels like its rushed and also the last episode wasnt in the manga as I recall.

2nd season is coming out you better watch the 1st one before the 2nd :)

Overall I give it a 8.5/10

Characters
Mikan Sakura
The cute and (overly) energetic Mikan lives only with her grandfather and attends a run-down elementary school. Upon hearing that her best friend, Hotaru Imai, is off to another school, it didn't take long for Mikan to decide that she will literally follow Hotaru everywhere she goes. Mikan discovers that the new school, Gakuen Alice, is rather a special one. As it was tried and tested, Mikan can actually nullify any kind of Alice force thrown at her.

Hotaru Imai
Hotaru Imai is Mikan's best friend. She is extremely intelligent and rational. During the story, though she may appear to be rather cold and indifferent on the surface, it is apparent that she genuinely cares for Mikan. She has the Alice of Invention, and during her time at the country with Mikan and her grandfather, she created many strange but useful inventions.

Natsume Hyuga
Stoic and scary but cool, Natsume may be icy on the outside but is actually fiery on the inside. Born with the Flame Alice, Natsume is expectedly hated and feared by many students and teachers because of his dangerous ability. Despite this, he is the top student in the class. Natsume is often seen with his best friend,Ruka.

Ruka Nogi
Ruka is Natsume's childhood friend and often referred by Mikan throughout the story as "Ruka-pyon". He is a gentle and generous person, characteristics that balance out Natsume's personality. His animal pheromone Alice allows him to get along with animals.

Narumi
Narumi is the homeroom teacher of Mikan's class (class B). He teaches Japanese and often deals with Natsume when he gets in trouble or tries to break out. He has the human pheromone Alice; he can make other people do what he wants by attracting them.
