I don't know but Jun's sister annoys me. Everything she does annoys me.
The only character I like so far is Shinku though I haven't seen many characters yet.
It was so funny when she wanted to have tea using the toilet as a table xD

Aero: Mhm. Yeah, I have mostly the same sentiments towards the characters, although I find Jun and his sister a little more tolerable in the subbed version, rather than dubbed. And, the new doll is adorable, but such a brat. >_______>
Lol, at Shinku wanting to use the toilet as a table.

This really doesn't seem like my kind of anime. My friend insisted I watch it so I tried it out. I intend to finish it though, since it is only twelve episodes:P I actually did like the part where she wanted to use the toilet as a table.
A for characters, all of them annoy me to. In a small way, I like the brother--he's so misunderstood, so his character is enjoyable to watch. The sister does really annoy me. I despise the doll introduced this episode, she really was a brat!
As for Shinku, compared to other animes, I don't like her character. As for characters in this anime, she is interesting to watch. So far I would not give this anime a high score, so I hope it improves!
Talking dolls with magic powers, what else? xD
I apoligize now if anything I said offends other people.
Nyaa~

Really the only character I'm not liking right now is Jun, well mostly cuz I don't yet why he is a douche. I thought Shinku was pretty badass loll. Hina was cute and Nori seems like a cool sister. I don't know but its just me.

That was quick, I think. Don't know the plot yet, but what's this Alice game? XD Am not familiar with the legend concerning dolls, but it interests me.

I like all the characters. They all have redeeming qualities and flaws.

I guess the sister is getting the maturity she needs from the blond doll.

Jun needs to grow up just a bit, and probably he'll start dating Tomoe.

Nice episode, the "alice game" was just lol, piggybanks shooting coins and tentacle roots^^
Shinku is cool like in the first ep^^
Tomo is ok (I feel a bit bad for her because she is seperated from her doll now :-( ), Hinaichigu is a bit annoying^^

Think I'm slowly warming up to Jun's VA. He didn't feel so 'off' in this one.
Anyway, yes. Yay! Hina joins the cast, Shinku shows off more of her "wiser than she looks" personality, and Sugintou appears next episode. I like Sugintou, she makes such a wonderful villain. :3 But then again, at risk of spoilers, I won't get into why ;)
Just my two cents.

Whiny main character is annoying. Whiny main character's sister is annoying, too. Melodramatic scenes are annoying. Stupid looking dolls are annoying.

Watching this anime is like playing Touhou with a mouse, while on a bus full of noisy babies; the screen looks cool, but it only manages to entertain me about as much as Hand Maid May, or something else shitty like that.

I'll give it a chance anyway, since I don't think it would have gotten so popular if it stayed this bad.

Ali Project sucks.

Either Jun is a wimp of getting hit with hair hurts. Wait no, it's obvious which one of the two is correct.

Toilet bit was hilarious though.

I actually like the characters... Shinku is pretty cool and Jun is, well, he annoys me but I guess there's a good reason behind his personality. It seems like he was a normal guy and then something happened that made him angry with the world... I want more backstory on him. His sister, on the other hand, is kinda stupid but she's a nice person and seems to genuinely like and worry about Jun.

But the new doll... I just wanna squeeze her. She's really a brat.

Oh man, the dolls fight and absorb the each other's power until there is only one standing? If this show goes all Highlander it would be totally awesome.

So basically, the Alice Game is Highlander by way of Pinocchio. Okay then.

Two episodes in and I can't say Rozen Maiden is what I thought it would be, but I'll reserve judgment until Sugintou is introduced next episode.

the sister isn't that annoying, she's just clutsy and silly, but she does care a lot about her brother which is nice. Shinku is so so, on parts I like her and of course she is very cute, but then others she kinda.... annoys me in a small way. Jun I don't want to comment on just yet until I find out more about him and his situation because its easy for me to just him a little emo kid atm, but I just hope he has a vaild reason to be so angry at the world...

The Alice game was interesting I wonder if that's going to be a major plot-line of some sort, Shinku said she was the 5th doll or something in the first episode? Maybe this game is where all the dolls fight until they meet 'Alice' or get to 'Alice' could be way off but that would be kinda interesting, we shall see!

I don't know about you guys, I don't see what's so annoying with the characters. Of course Jun had some traumatic experience, which is the cause of his truant. Shinku is okay, very cute, Hina Ichigo too, I like her voice :) Very fitting indeed. And the sister, very caring sister, though a little of a klutz

Now you also know the plot, the series being a good enough short.
Dramatic and comic at the same time the narrative, hilarious at times including one of these is when Shinku takes a slap Jun with the hair! XD
Designed not bad for the time, people who Crescon as characterization. The BGM are fabulous.
The promo announces another new interesting character! * _ *

Despite Shinku being a total prig, she has quite a bit of wisdom. ""The only one who knows Jun-kun is you, not a book". Well I guess she's pretty old so she'd probably pick up on this stuff xD

Better action in this episode. Shinku established herself as resident badass by jumping on the coin shot at high velocity right at her.

Haha she wanted to drink her tea on the toilet xD

I'm fine with all the characters so far, with Shinku easily being my favorite. Definitely interested in the "Alice Game" too. I had pretty mild expectations coming into this show but I'm really enjoying it so far.

Moving things along quickly, isn't it? Tomoe and Hinaichigo are just introduced, and there was already some intense stuff happening with them.
