About Key Princess Story Eternal Alice Rondo

Key Princess Story Eternal Alice Rondo (鍵姫物語 永久アリス輪舞曲) blends action, drama and fantasy by Picture Magic (2006). Below is a fresh retelling of what the story is about. In short: Kirihara Aruto loves the stories of Alice, so much so that he begins to write one. One night while writing, he sees a girl out his window who he thinks is Alice.

As things develop, he follows her, and learns that she is called a Seeker of Alice, and with the powers granted to her she fights other Seekers of Alice to take their eternal story, in order to find the part that belongs to the Eternal Alice. Throughout Aruto's adventures with Arisugawa Arisu, his little sister Kirihara Kiraha and their various companions they discover more about the land of Alice, about the novels, the man who wrote them, and their own abilities.

As an action title, fight choreography, pacing and sound design carry much of the weight. Voice work is led by Mari Kanou as Kiraha Kirihara and Ai Shimizu as Arisu Arisugawa. This one is best suited to viewers who like fast, high-impact fights. At 13 episodes in total, it is easy to plan a viewing schedule.

Production & Appeal

Animation is handled by Picture Magic, so the studio's house style defines how Key Princess Story Eternal Alice Rondo looks and moves on screen. Because it leans on action, fight choreography, pacing and sound design carry much of the weight. With a 5.7/10 score, it is more of a niche pick than a universal crowd-pleaser. On the casting side, Mari Kanou voicing Kiraha Kirihara gives the lead role a recognizable voice. Released in 2006, it competed with that season's other new series for attention.
