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.

Spoiler:

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.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

A link to Ayu's Traumend batch torrent is fine too.

I watched AnimeLito for subs while the show was running, but my archived files are Ayu's, since they used the HDTV widescreen editions instead of the regular broadcasts. And since I watched Ayu's subs of the first season. (Sorry marienkind, wherever you are.)

There's nowhere I can't reach.

So, any links or information about this supposed news? You didn't provide any, ANN has nothing on it as of now, and Google produced only three results on the first three pages for a returned that even linked "OVA" and "Rozen Maiden", and none of them contained anything even remotely helpful.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.
