YMMV / Eternal Alice

• Bizarro Episode: The Caterpillar
• Critical Backlash: It didn't do very well in Japan when it was released.
• So Bad, It's Good
• Theiss Titillation Theory: Some of the Key Princesses' outfits.
• They Copied It, So It Sucks!: To some Rozen Maiden fans.
• They Wasted a Perfectly Good Plot: Arguably. Despite ostensibly being about a There Can Only Be One scenario, the anime and manga focus mostly on the characters, only actually showing a few of the fights (most of which are fairly lazily done). You can actually find artwork of the other Seekers of Alice who never made a full appearance around, and see profiles of them on the show's site. Sort of a shame, since a lot of them seemed like they'd make fairly interesting battles.
• What Do You Mean, It's Not for Little Girls?: It may have the word "princess" in the title and have girls transforming into personifications of fairy tales, but this story is loaded with Freudian Excuses and deals with dark themes such as rape and incest.
