About Key Princess Story Eternal Alice Rondo

Here is what Key Princess Story Eternal Alice Rondo (鍵姫物語 永久アリス輪舞曲) is about, retold in plain terms: an action, drama and fantasy anime by Picture Magic (2006). The setup: Kirihara Aruto loves the stories of Alice, so much so that he starts to write one. One night while writing, he sees a girl out his window who he thinks is Alice.

Along the way, he follows her, and finds out that she is called a Seeker of Alice, and with the gifts 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 allies they discover more about the land of Alice, about the novels, the man who wrote them, and their own gifts.

In an action series like this, 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. The run is 13 episodes in total, so you know what you are signing up for.
