So the pupil couldn't surpass the teacher after all. Shinku's fight against Bara Suishou was great, I enjoyed it. The end is good too, but this season is not really better than the first one. 7/10

A happy yet sad ending, I loved it eventhough it was somewhat predictable. Im unsure as to whether there should be a 3rd season, I personally think that at this point it would ruin the story. I will definitly read the manga now.

Confusion, why do Kanaria, Suigin-Tou and Suisei-Seki come back yet Sousei-seki and Hina Ichigo dont?

Did rabbit dude just decide to keep their Roza Mysticas and let the others go?

Barasuishou isn't a real Rozen Maiden. Thus Kanaria, Suigintou, and Suiseiseki unofficially removed from the Alice Game, as it was Barasuishou who defeated them. Souseiseki was defeated by Suigintou. And Hina Ichigo gave her Rosa Mystica to Shinku after no longer having a medium and the Alice Game officially starting with Souseiseki's defeat.

Cool, answered the first question, but now Ive got another :-D

Since Barasuisho is a fake, how come the Alice Game started? doesnt it need all 7 Maidens together, or is that not the case? (im guessing not since Sougintou and Hina are out of the picture..)

I really don't have a definite answer. Either the producers were making stuff up as they went along (did not follow manga) or Laplace was just screwing with everyone. Laplace was with Barasuishou's creator the whole season. Maybe it was an experiment to see if Rozen's dolls could overcome one that wasn't made by him? I don't know.

I thought that it was an okay ending. I was a little depressed ~ desu. To see that souseiseki and hina didn't come back after the credits just for good spirits. but you win some and you lose some.

The first season was indeed superior over the second, but I enjoyed them both anyway. Episode 10 of the second season was very depressing. The ending was fitting and more realistic. I'm glad they didn't pull a 100% Mai-Hime revival. Great series though.

The ending was pretty good and in a sense emotionally relieving. I'm glad the apprentice wasn't Rozen because he was plain evil. よかった that it ended on a happier note, and that there are other ways to become Alice. And it seems now that Suigintou realizes Shinku isn't an enemy, and that the two have potential of becoming friends again.

A depressing ending, I am sorry for Hina-Ichogi and Sousiseki. I am glad that the pupil wasn't Rozen, and that Shinku stayed to the end of the Alice game.

I liked this season, like most second seasons it's a little different, I give it 9/10

Seriously. WTF IS THIS SHIT!

GIVE ME MY 1 HOUR BACK!
What did Jun did the whole episode? Nothing.
Why did the dolls die? For no reason.
Was the Alice decided? No.
Did Bara Someshit die? No!
She didn't die by Shinku's hands. So far thats okay, but she "died" just because of a plot device?
She had everything planned, but she couldn't forsee that too many Roza Mystica would kill her?

Are this writers really trying!?

Why was Laplace's Demon helping those guys? So far he only seems like a plot device to me.

Why did that blond f*g made them fight? Whats the point on making Bara thinggy get more Roza Mystica?

Why did he... i dunno, evaporate along with Bara Someshit? (Yeah, i really hate her.)

Why did the Rozen Maidens did not knew there was other way to become Alice? (Why would Rozen not tell them that? The only possible answer to me is: Plot Device)

Why does the characters get underpowered/overpowered out of nowhere?
I mean, Suiseiseki never got a Roza Mystica yet she resisted longer than when she last foght Sugintou, who at that time had none.


Seriously. Jun was having a great character development, and the producers just defenestrated everything.
There were a lot of good ways to use him, yet all he did was...... wait. He didn't do anything.

How can people say the ending was good?
It didn't change ANYTHING at all.
The few last episodes were simply useless.

Sure, i hate open endings, but this wasn't even near an open ending.
It was screaming: I HAZ A SEQUEL!
Yet no sequel was announced so far.
Did this project get abandoned?

Bringing this thread back from the grave since I just finished the series.

Bara bara was defeated. Yes, Jun is useless. (I thought Shinku, Suiseiseki, and Suigintou had already established this fact?) The doll that's with Laplace is the real 7th doll Kirakishou or w/e her name is. I enjoyed this series, and it looks like there won't be a 3rd season. However, I am looking forward to reading the manga.

That is all.

Shinku was awesome when she pwned Barasuishou and Suigintou.
It's a pity Souseiseki and Hinaichigo didn't come back. Oh well that's to be expected since they were defeated by real Rozen Maidens.

This.

I liked this season better than the previous one and I enjoyed the final. The fights were good.

It was kind of a bittersweet ending though due to the fact that not all Rozen Maidens were revived. I wouldn't mind that if Souseiseki had come back. Well, I would mind but not this much.

I'm just glad that that guy wasn't Rozen. (Just as I didn't think he was until everyone started calling him Father.) He was cold and evil. Poor dolls if Rozen was like that.

I didn't understand a thing about the Laplace demon though neither did I get who was that last doll in the end or why the creepy rabbit (screw Laplace, "creepy rabbit" sounds better) had Hina Ichigo's and Souseiseki's Rosa Mysticae). And I hate when they leave things unanswered.

But whatever, I thought it was better than the first season so I give it 8.5/10 (and as I'm nice I'll round it up so 9/10). It's obviously far from being a masterpiece but it was surprisingly entertaining. Really entertaining and heart-warming.

Sometimes with such series which differ from manga at some point I'm uncomfortable. They seem alike but may be totaly different in how they feel and the meaning. I'm not familiar with the manga. As for anime I'm glad the ending was not shallow and is actualy quite deep. I'm sad for Souseiseki and Chibichigo but it can't be helped at that point. I'm just glad it didn't end in ruin. And we have sort of a resolution for Alice's game too. At least for sisters they lost other dolls became wiser. Even Suigintou developed a touch of compassion and sense. In the beginning she was exactly like Bara Suishou. Alice's game is from those which if you win you loose and if you loose you are lost, so even being sad I consider it's fitting for both Sousei and Hina as they were too willing to start it. Reasons doesn't count. They might if it was a matter of forgiveness but this game is unforgiving and it plays it's pieces once started. But now the pieces have developed into something more free to choose their fate.

She is a Rozen Maiden herself - so obviously it's her own Roza Mystica.

+1 to what Ryushi was saying.

I can't understand how the 2nd season has a higher MAL rating than the first. It chucked out the potential of the first season and replaced it with some bad attempt at developing the grand story, of which it gave a really vague and unsatisfying closure to. The humour, BGM (including the ED, which was really good) and the love for the first season were the only saving graces of this season. 5/10 from me.

"Let's go. Detective Kunkun will start without us."
"Alright."

The fact that those are the last lines of the series encapsulates everything wrong with this show. My final impression is that Rozen Maiden would've been better off as either a doll harem or a Highlander-esque action anime, not some awkward combination of the two. The second season was better in the sense that it tried to move the overarching story, but worse in the sense that it failed at doing so. What a mess.

But I did love Shinku's fights with Suigintou and Barasuishou. Was half of the season's budget spent on that 15-minute sequence alone?

Ahh I really enjoyed this whole series! I honestly didn't think I would beause it's sort of a silly concept but it was really fun and super cute.

I totally was sitting there at the end like I WANT THEM TO KISS AND HAVE A HAPPY LOVE RELATIONSHIP!

Then I was like:

Ohh wait... she's a doll.........

Then I was fine with it the way it was. I half expected from the beginning that she would become Alice which somehow meant that she would be human and date Jun. Bwee hee hee.

I agree that the last words were picked TERRIBLY and hated them, so I prefer to just ignore them... >__>;;

I think it did a reasonably good job of mixing the two, and having a relitively good plot. I agree that the second season was much better than the first, but overall I rated this show a 7. Pretty good, but not great.

I'm glad everybody came back, and as for Hina-Ichigo and Souseiseki, I'm sure Shinku will bring them back. Having the gang back together watching Detective Kun-Kun seemed like a good ending. Overall, this season impressed me more than season 1.

Characters, hmm let's see....

Kanaria annoyed me.

No complaints elsewhere.
