‘Maison de Castle’ is a piece of “Figumation” - the brand-new format of movie to combine (?) the CG and the puppet show! The easy-going daily life of Patty and four girls are depicted with the “Digital Rod Puppet”, the new technique developed especially for this piece. Patty is a girl living in a condo named “Maison de Castle”. Her hobby is to watch TV, play games and have snacks. Easy-going in nature, Patty always wants to relax lazily, but her friends in the same condo wouldn’t leave her alone. Graceful Mia. Cheerful Riki. Lillian is a little older and prim. A little younger Alex is a cheeky girl. When these five girls get together, a day which was supposed to peaceful somehow turns into turmoil. What is going to happen today????

It didn’t take long for pint-sized Tamaki’s lightning reflexes to catch the eye of starving Kendo instructor Toraji. This second-rate sensei is an embarrassment to the sport, and his Kendo club is running out of members. His only hope for redemption – and a full belly – is to get Tamaki to sign-on as his star pupil. Unfortunately, this sword-wielding prodigy is a serious anime addict, so it’ll be a challenge to get her to step away from the television and into the dojo. But once she feels like a part of the team, Tamaki will put down the remote and pick up her sword as Toraji turns his girls into a fearsome sisterhood of the bamboo blade!
