While if done properly these situations can be funny, for me they just weren’t. Mikan is treated pretty horribly much throughout the series but more so in the beginning episodes. Despite its cutesy look and comedy, Gakuen Alice does deal with some serious themes. has some inconsistencies and major annoyances and flaws that make it when taken in its entirety not very good. There are plenty of familiar themes and if you have watched school comedies (really who hasn’t practically all of them take place in school) there won’t be anything all that groundbreaking. However in the end though that special treat ends up tasting like it was dropped in the mud.Īs I mentioned the premise is interesting though quite farfetched. Cute characters, slapstick comedy, magic, and elementary kids give you a distinct Harry Potterish feel. Gakuen Alice has an interesting premise and a charming first episode which lulls you into the belief that you are in for a special treat. Gakuen Alice is a heartwarming comedy that follows Mikan and her friends' adventures in the academy, as well as their attempt to uncover the mysteries surrounding the problematic, fire-wielding student Natsume Hyuuga. Discovering that she has her own unique powers, Mikan enrolls in the academy, and, after a lot of trouble, finally reunites with Hotaru.

Upon her arrival, Mikan learns of 'Alices,' individuals gifted with various supernatural abilities, and that the school is an institution built by the government to train and protect them. Beset with worry, Mikan runs away to see her best friend! So when Hotaru suddenly transfers to Alice Academy, a prestigious school in the city, her best friend is devastated-especially when she hears of the horrible rumors regarding the academy's harsh treatment of students. Despite their glaring differences, the two girls have been best friends for a very long time. Optimistic, energetic, and overall a very sweet child, Mikan is the complete opposite of the aloof, intelligent, and somewhat cold-hearted, Hotaru Imai.

Mikan Sakura is a normal 10-year-old girl.
