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...

Quote:

Rozen Maiden is a manga by the group PEACH-PIT, with an anime series of the same name. It deals obliquely with the pressures placed on children in Japan by telling the story of a student, Jun Sakurada, who cracked under the strain. The series chronicles Jun's reluctant mental recovery through experiences with the Rozen Maiden, a series of enchanted dolls with a mysterious purpose.

The Rozen Maiden are a collection of dolls created by a craftsman named Rozen, whom the dolls refer to as "Father". Their primary source of power is a human host -- a "medium" -- that wears a ring to symbolize their bond with the doll. Each Rozen Maiden has her own distinct personality, guardian spirit, and supernatural ability. Their purpose is apparently to participate in the cryptic "Alice Game", a lethal competition that promises the winner the right to meet "Father" by becoming "Alice", a being that is supposedly the incarnation of perfect femininity. The game is played through duels in which the dolls fight using both their guardian spirits and respective abilities -- such as the manipulation of strawberry vines -- as well as the spiritual energy from their medium. The doll that loses the duel loses her "Rosa Mystica", the very thing that endows her with the ability to move, thus becoming "junk". The lost Rosa Mystica is then collected and absorbed by the duel's winner. The doll that gains all of her sisters' Rosa Mysticae will become Alice. Shinku, the central doll of the series, is notable in that while she does not refuse to fight, she does refuse to take the lost power and kill a sister doll.

Heh, yeah I used to go there a lot. He's a cool guy. I think I'll definately like this.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

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!!

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

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!

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

Hmmm... the first season that I have was subbed really well. I hope I am DLing the right Traumend torrent. Mine says [Ayu]_Rozen_Maiden_02-12[FINAL]

I'm guessing it's fine. Damn slow though. >__>

I was speaking idiomatically.

BTW, I'll force-seed for ya.

huh?? I thought I saw somewhere that the one that said "FINAL" was also the Traumend torrent. Zomg. What should I do?? ;_____;

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

I was kind of confused by that as well, but I figured that what they meant by "final" was that they had completed all subs for the entire season, and so that is the final pack.

::dies:: Thanks for the info. ;__;

FELIPE NO

Because I was downloading the fucking wrong torrent for like 2 weeks!! So now I just deleted that shite and I used the link Lord Styphon posted for the Traumend torrent. Hope it's fast. ;__;

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

@ Spatula. You're the nut! >=O ::eats you::

@ Fyodor. Is 0 kb/sec fast? Why the fuck is bittorrent always so slow for me and don't say it's due to a firewall, it's not the case. ::eats u 2:: >= )
