Rozen Maiden
Rozen Maiden Discussion Thread ![]() In this thread we can discuss the anime Rozen Maiden. Short Description: Sakurada Jun was in the second grade of junior high, but he dropped out of school because he had problems socializing with his classmates. After he quit school, Jun refused to go out, and spent all his time at home shopping on the internet for 'weird' or 'cursed' items. One day, a mysterious box appeared in the middle of his room. When he opened the box, he found a sophisticated doll, which looked so real that it appeared to be alive... Wikipedia Rozen Maiden Article
Your favourite doll Your favourite episode The Manga Suiseiseki! <3 (She's so great desu~! Just anything related to Rozen Maiden! : P I know I had that avatar but actually I hadnt seen this yet. >.< Jam it back in, in the dark.

I just finished the first season a few hours ago. I found the series entertaining to watch. But then again, I haven't been watching too much anime.
However, I do want to note that there is a second season of Rozen Maiden called Rozen Maiden: Traumend which is also 12 Episodes. I'm pretty sure that's the end of the series, since I think that's when the Alice game ends. Most amazing jew boots |
having watched the first and second seasons of Rozen Maiden
its a very cool anime i like the concept and art style a lot (duh peach-pit) and i plan to buy the manga when it comes to the states this may? ( i think) as the fan-scanners that do the series is slow as hell haha i loved the member here who had the hina-ichigo avatar/sig combo it was so dare i say it "cute" :shh: How ya doing, buddy? ![]() |
Mmm, I decided to watch this after Dan mentioned it on his Clone Army website. Finally found out who the person was in Lord Styphon's avatar. Anywho, amazing series, I really thoroughly enjoyed it. Immediately after finishing the first set, I went on to watch Traumend as well (wtf does that mean anyways?).

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body? ![]() oh my gawddd |
I'm pretty sure that there will be a 3rd season. At least I sure hope there will be, the ending of the second one leaves ALOT of room for more story development.
I think I liked the second season more than the first, the funny episodes seemed more, well, funny, and the dramatic episodes were more intense Spoiler:
I should also note that EVERYONE whom I've shown this anime to has loved it, even my mom who normally hates anime... Most amazing jew boots ![]() |

Does Rozen Maiden remind anybody of Highlander? "There can be only One!" LOL... FELIPE NO ![]() |

Hina Ichigo was definitely one of my favorite dolls. Usually I find the happy-go-lucky type anime characters generally annoying, however this particular character seemed to light up the whole mood. She took simple pleasures in "life" and seemed to set a happy mood - (spoiler regarding Hina Ichigo if you haven't finished Traumend)
Spoiler:
Indeed, all this talk about being chosen as Alice did bring up some notions of "Highlander" and bits of Battle Royale - however a much more comical version, at that. I think what quickly drew me in were the two OP themes done by "ALI PROJECT" - Kinjirareta Asobi for the 1st season, and Seishojo Ryoiki for the 2nd season. I have to admit, I would absolutely HATE these J-pop songs if I were to never see them with Rozen Maiden, but somehow after seeing them with the OP videos, they have grown on me I really like them now. Oh yes, I watched Traumend first before the first season, and the Seishojo Ryoiki OP theme somehow made me smile immediately, even before knowing anything about this series.

I really hope that a 3rd season comes out. I haven't seen the first season yet, but I've already finished the second. Logical, yes. Great drama mixed in with lighter scenes. The music was also very nice, especially the ending theme!
![]() Actually, I liked all of the dolls, including Barasuisho. Spoiler:

I do have to say that I can't stand Hina Ichigo. Her childish ways, but that is her character and I accept that. I guess she's a good character to put on the show for those lighter moments. I think I enjoy the fighting scenes and the man vs. himself conflicts in the first season.
Of the dolls, I've seen so far, Shinko is definitely my favorite, even though she is very arrogant at times. I truly do enjoy the series for the character development, even if the focus is the development of the dolls. Note to self: Watch the second season so I can read the spoiler tags and actually follow the discussion. I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body? |
I finished this and Traumend as well.
At first I hated Hina Ichigo, but she became to cute despise, what with her elephant watering can and hiding under Jun's bed. I also like Kanaria a lot. Using a violin to conjure wind and attack with sound is wicked. My favourite part was in Traumend: Spoiler:
The lighthearted episodes are hilarious. I like Shinku's obsession with Detective Kun Kun, and the "stairs" episode a lot. Jun is highly dislikeable to the very end of the first season, but I changed my mind after starting Traumend. I was also confused about Styphon's signature, not knowing that it was Suigin Tou ("~Mitsu-kete!~"), as well as Acer Bandit's shifting Hina Ichigo. I though this was ecchi upon first ever hearing the title and seeing that there were lots of girls, but I was totally wrong. It easily became my favourite series! Most amazing jew boots |
At first I HATED Kanaria with a passion, but I think she redeemed herself at the end of the series.

Spoiler:
also....... my question Spoiler:
Suigin Tou's voice actor is also Koyomi's from Azumanga and Lacus Clyne from Gundam Seed, which is pretty cool I might add. FELIPE NO ![]() oh my gawddd |
That question makes we wonder too.
About Barasuishou at the end: Spoiler:
Kanaria was an annoying bitch, ten times worse than Hina Ichigo. Well at least Hina seemed fun and happy whenever eating cake and ichigos, so that added to the cute factor, but Kanaria was just all around annoying. What, you don't want my bikini-clad body? ![]() - What we all do best -

More Megu in third season please, they didn't develop her character much (as opposed to Jun in the first season). There's nowhere I can't reach. |

Third season --> yes please.
Though...perhaps it'll be one MASSIVE tea party. Most amazing jew boots ![]() - What we all do best - |

I was speaking idiomatically. |
Haha! I loved this scene in episode 6 where Jun and Shinku are sitting on Jun's bed looking out the window and Shinku notices Jun is looking at her and says to him
What are you looking at? Jun: N- Nothing. What are you talking about? Shinku: I see. That's too bad... Don't you see? My true feelings... Jun: Sh- Shinku... (kinda dreaming and stunned) Then Shinku slaps in out of it and says "I'm kidding. Don't get yourself in the mood! (in such a calm and matter of fact way as usual) HAHA! Priceless scene!! ![]() What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?
[/RIGHT]

Also. I finished the first season a few days ago. I gotta say apart from Suisuseki the highlight of this anime seems to be the "relatioship/chemistry" between Jun and Shinku. I didn't know it would develop as it did and I look forward to seeing more when my Traumend torrent finally finishes. ;___;
Very good anime! FELIPE NO

Did you get to the nekkid buttsecks part yet? Yeah oh yeah!

Who subbed Traumend and did a decent job of it? I remember watching one, and the english was shite beyond all belief I had to turn it off. Plus it was in realplayer format which I really didn't appreciate.
