Rozen Maiden

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:

besides her "death".

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'd hate to admit it, but before I watched "Elfen Lied", another great anime series, I thought that that particular character (.i.e. Sugintou) was in fact, Number 35 from EL. LOL.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

That question makes we wonder too.

About Barasuishou at the end:

Spoiler:

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.

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.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Third season --> yes please.

Though...perhaps it'll be one MASSIVE tea party.

Most amazing jew boots

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

Spoiler:

watch Jan start fapping already

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

Yes I think I watched the AYU subs for both seasons. let me try to find the torrent links...

I was speaking idiomatically.

LOL at Jan. Stupid nut.

But don't worry, you'll enjoy Traumend. It does put a nice tie to some of the issues presented in the first season. Also, the 2nd OP theme is more enjoyable than the first, personally.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

Oh, Lord Styphon may be pleased! ^__^

I'm looking forward to it. I found much of Suigintou's role was spotlighted just your regular "bad villian" which was then quickly shifted to Barasuishou for the 2nd season, but it's nice to know more of her and it might reveal some more history, although I'm not too sure how much they can cram into 2 ova episodes.

FELIPE NO

You know, I read somewhere of an eighth doll which was supposedly a twin of Barasuishou (similiar face and hairstyle, just different dress), but my memory is pretty fuzzy now. I wish I had the source where I got this from. Or maybe it was a picture from Japense site.

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?
