”Gakuen Alice”
Alice Types:
➢ Latent Type- Latent alices are the most common in the school,
and involve powers connected to ESP abilities. It's the most
normal class and students here are of the serious type.
Examples include teleportation and xray vision.
➢ Technical Type- Just like its name, Technical Alice types appear
when the individual experiments, such as cooking, drawing, etc.
The Alices in this type are based on technology and research
fields. Example include the ability to put souls into stuffed toys.
Alice Shape:
Every Alice is categorized as one of four shapes, which specify how much of it can be used and
how often.
1. Childhood: The Alice slowly appears and disappears as the child with it grows into an
adult.
2. Diffuse: The Alice is always available, but at a relatively low power level.
3. Intermittent: The Alice can only be used for a short period at any time, but at a relatively
high power level.
4. Limitless: The Alice can be used as often and as much as desired, but each use impacts
against the user's own life and can kill them if overused.
Star-Ranking:
A star-ranking is the evaluation system that the Academy uses to judge a student's school work,
Alice level and attitude. There are four rankings which are indicated by the number of gold stars
on a student's collar.
1. No-Star: Students who are below-average. This is mainly reserved for children. And no
good place and not enough money to spend with.
2. Single: Students who are pretty much average. Most of the students in the Elementary
School Division have this rank and is needed to graduate the Elementary School
Division.
3. Double: Students who are more of an over-achiever than Singles but aren't exceptionally
brilliant at either their studies or use of their Alice and is needed to graduate the Middle
School Division.
4. Triple: Students who usually are deemed as "over-achievers" and tend to excel at either
their studies or use of Alice or both and is needed to graduate the High School Division.
5. Special: Students who are considered the best of the best, signified by a label in the shape
of a star enclosed in a circle (though rarely seen in the anime). Those who excel
tremendously in their Alice and, if they care, their studies--to put in short, geniuses. Also
known as the "Principal students".
Each star ranking has its own monthly allowance rate:
1. No-Star: 5 Rabbits: (equal to about 500 yen or 5 US dollars)
2. Single: 30 Rabbits: (equal to about 3000 yen or 30 US dollars)
3. Double: 50 Rabbits: (equal to about 5000 yen or 50 US dollars)
4. Triple: 100 Rabbits: (equal to about 10 000 yen or 100 US dollars)
5. Special: 300 Rabbits: (equal to about 30 000 yen or 300 US dollars)
Control Device:
There are specially design prevention devices made for a particular person. There
are numerous devices worn on the head, hand, and such that can emit tracking
signals. Each kind has sealing abilities (the locking away of Alice within the device).
There are also control devices for punishment purposes like the Cat Mask. Anyone
who wears these devices and disobeys the higher-ups, are punished by the devices.
It immediately sends a pulsating electric shock throughout the body. These devices
can only be removed by the person who placed it on.
Main Characters:
Mikan Sakura(佐倉蜜柑 Sakura Mikan?) Voiced by: Kana Ueda
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. As a result, Mikan is like a walking barrier that no one can affect. It is for
this reason that she is being closely watched by the school. Naturally, Mikan had a hard
time adapting to her new school life but her outgoing and sincere personality eventually
wins them over. She manages to turn everyone into friends and even admirers. The only
person she can't seem to understand her feelings very well towards is Natsume.
