So is there anything after Traumend? I remember in the last episode Shinku says something about there being two ways to become Alice

was I the only one that cried like a little girl when HinaIchigo died?

lol, it was sure freagin' sad, but I didn't cry. Maybe I was in too much of a shitty mood at the time from life events that I was just like "meh". It sucks that she can't come back though. Yargh =(.

At least they brought back SuiseiSeki from the dead, she's my favorite character. I thought the cutest moment of the entire series was when she had Jun read that math book to her.

My favorite moment with her has to be in that episode when she stole the strawberry. That whole episode was just pure laughs for me.

besides her "death".

That was after I saw the last episode where she finally acquires all the Roza Mysticas. The scene where she's talking to her "Father" actually made me sympathize with her for some reason. I also really liked how her "death" was shown. Disturbing, yet powerful--sort of like the scene in one of the earlier episodes where the puppet versions of the Rozen Maidens were hacking each other apart.

Kanaria played the violin so vigorously that she managed to rip an arm off of Barasuisho before she died!

I thought it was very moving how she died trying to protect SuiseiSeki, in that moment I went from thinking "man I wish they'd kill off Kanaria" to thinking "Please don't die Kanaria"

For awhile I didn't even know she died. Just suddenly you see her blank face. I was just like "What? What just happened? Did she stab him? What?"

I probably just wasn't paying attention, but why is it that all the people who were killed by Suigin Tou couldn't get revived at the end of the series?

Dude, she got absolutely annihilated by the "warmth" of being "ALICE", and seemed to have suffered more than Suigin Tou's "death" at the end of first season. How come Souseiseki and Hina Ichigo, which had pretty much intact bodies, "die"? I remember about Hina Ichigo not having a contract with a host since she almost sucked out all life of her previous servant, and had to depend on Shinku for energy, but I'm still quite surprised that she's "dead".

And what about Souseiseki? Other dolls got their crystals taken out from them, but they got theirs back, why not Souseiseki? Perhaps I missed a crucial detail here and there.

If I remember correctly (having finished the series 3 days ago) Shinku tells Jun that the Father was tired of watching them go on like this and wanted the Alice game to begin. Which I don't really get, because the Father seemed to be all compassionate in the end and stuff.

Watch the last episode again -- whoever set up the final battle (and indeed, led them on for the whole season) wasn't the real Father, just an apprentice who impersonated him. "Barasuishou" is a fake as well, which is why she couldn't handle all the Rosa Mysticae. The real Father shows up eventually and basically resets all the dolls that were taken out by the imposters. They briefly show the real Barasuishou with Laplace at the very end, who is holding two Rosa Mysticae (presumably belonging to Hinaichigo and Souseiseki, which is why they haven't come back to life).

There were two Barasuishos all along? So Laplace's Barashuisho was behind the curtain in the one scene while Enju was making a doll?
Could someone explain the Laplace thing from the little info we have so far? I remember he let them ecape to the real world at the start of the series, and Shinku seems to recognize him for some reason.

Hinaichigo did have to break her contract with Tomoe in order to not kill her by sucking too much energy from her, but when she did, she forfeited her fight with Shinku. Shinku, being the merciful character she is, made Hinaichigo her servant, tying her to Jun for energy rather than take her Rosa Mystica. When she first appears in the next episode, Suigintou comments on how Shinku has perverted the Alice Game like this by not taking the Rosa Mystica.

This setup lasts until Episode 9 of Traumend, when Suigintou beats Souseiseki and takes her Rosa Mystica. At that point, the Alice Game began in earnest, and Father wasn't willing to overlook Hinaichigo being alive when she should be dead. He therefore cut off the link and awarded her Rosa Mystica to Shinku.

At the end, Souseiseki and Hinaichigo weren't revived by Father because, unlike the dolls who were revived, who had been defeated by Barasuishou, the fake doll, they were defeated by and had their Rosa Mysticae lost to legitimate Rozen Maiden, Suigintou and Shinku respectively.

Not being a legitimate Rozen Maiden is also why Barasuishou was destroyed by the combined Rosa Mysticae; she wasn't one who could become Alice in the first place, and the power overwhelmed her.
