Nice episode.

The kids making fun of Jun because he can design well was so annoying! What's wrong with a guy who can design clothes? There are many out there -_-

Shinku's double slap was lol...Hope that Jun finally wakes up now XD

I wonder what's gonna happen now that he has Shinku?

Also wondering about Saito. She's really cute and genuinely seems worried about him so will she have a bigger role later? I hope she does.

I haven't read the manga, but I liked that there was more backround into why he became a shut in. In the first series it was "because he was so smart", which I found stupid. Him being interested and talented in designing womens clothing, it being exposed in front of all his classmates, and him throwing up due to the anxiety is MUCH more believable and adds to his character.

I'm liking this alternate version a lot more then the original series, it is really different so far, there's almost no comedy. Which I kind of like cause although there were certainly funny moments in the first two seasons it seemed like a series that would have been better if it had a more consistent serious atmosphere.

Aside from the overly rushed recap in the first episode which might be confuse a lot of people , This series so far has been great.

- The more serious atmosphere,
- More character background
- The development of the plot
- The amazing artistry is all top quality.

I just hope it stays that way :)

I would say they did a pretty good job for now. I've never read the manga or watch any of the previous seasons but I can understand the story pretty well. Maybe the first episode was pretty fast-paced but it wasn't really confusing imo. It's still fine if they never explain all that's happened so far and even if they decide to explain, then it's a plus for me :)

Oh, even if this is my first exposition to the series, I'd have to say I'm really liking what I've seen so far.

This series is getting better each episode. I still can't get over how much the OP fits with the series. The string instruments and the melody make it so much fun to listen to.

Dam, that has to be a bad memory for Jun.

How is Kirakishou so powerful? She just now got a vessel and she can pull people into the N-Field, make a million fake Shinku heads, stop the delivery of mail and mess with cell phones? Why is she so crazy that the remaining 4 dolls together can't stop her in the original world?

I can explain why but it'll contain major spoilers.

Yeah, that's the reason. The story was different in the first two anime compared to this which was the original reason from the manga. It pretty much traumatized him.
The teacher's intent wasn't exactly malicious. He was just trying to foster a talent. Too bad it backfired.

On another note, I had forgotten how abusive Shinku tended to be. "Defend yourself" was definitely good advice. Too bad college Jun didn't heed the warning. Made for a nice gif. Thanks, for the gif, boku.

I don't think I would have called it a dream. In any case, whatever it was (an N field, I assume), it was someplace he could die.

I don't know if that scene was also in the RM2 manga, but I didn't want to see Jun's traumatic past again. Obviously, it was an uncomfortable scene to watch, but even more so when one already knew why he became a shut-in in the first place.

Gotta like how that creep of a store manager got burned from Saitou's reply to his ringtone remark that was intended to hit on her. I'm really liking how she really cares for him - I want to see her get a bigger role later on, maybe even become involved in the Alice Game and help Jun. On the other hand, I hope nothing bad happens to her, I really dislike that sleazy store manager of theirs.

Jun is finally able to complete Shinku in the nick of time... and she slaps him twice for their very first meeting. The bigger concern is that if alternate!Jun and his Shinku, along with all the other dolls from his world are unable to stop Kirakishou, what makes the Jun of this world and his newly awakened Shinku be able to do something against the 7th as well?

Agh... the episode was too short!!

That teacher could not have been a bigger idiot. Sure, let's announce to the entire grade the anonymous male creator of a princess costume design to a bunch of narrow-minded middle schoolers and destroy what little social life he has. Fucking. Brilliant.

I would love to see Jun NTR'd by the store manager.
Yeah, that store manager is too cheesy with his pickup line, if only he'd be slightly more attractive for a competition with Jun.

It feels really weird to see college Jun, but I like it. And finding the remaining parts of Shinku was just too easy! There were too many heads in that N-Field, I guess Jun was pretty lucky to find them. By the way, I loved the soundtrack... it really fits Rozen Maiden.

Okay so i dont knw a thing abt Rozen Maiden anime or its manga ,

having watched till 3rd episode this anime seemed interesting so checked the discussions n after reading all discussion frm these 3 pages i found out that

1] Either read 1st 7 volumes of manga season 1 then watch Rozen Maiden [2013]

2] Or just continue watching this Anime Rozen Maiden [2013] and see hw the story unfolds....

Now i m not being lazy regarding the manga 1st season but i wanted to know do u think the anime staff will put those 7 volumes of its manga season 1 as inbetween scenes/recalls in this anime ???

You know they say its 13 epsiodes but we never actually go a confirmation from any source that it will only be 13 episodes in fact if u look at the manga this story arc reaches up to 26 chapters before it finishes making it perfect for a 2 cour show what do u think?

I had thought it would finish at this arc's end. Tale 25. At the rate the pacing is going, I'm not so sure though. Hard to believe we're only in between Tale 3 & 4 at this point in the anime.

Shinku 2/2 now b*tchslapping Jun regardless of what universe it is. Hmmm, Jun should have tried hitting on the girls in his class with his skill at dress-making and what not. I mean he puked in front of his whole class, it's not like it was too embarrassing. I can think of hella more embarrassing things than that....

I don't like them sexually.

It's hard to not like lolis, their cuteness pander to the same emotions that naturally makes us fathers.

But it's hard to get off to anything that doesn't have any adult women characteristics like large tits, ass, and thighs.

So far this is my #1 this season, it feels serious and it has a lot of substance. Although the plot itself is kinda weird with the dolls, but whatever. Kamisama is pretty good as well, but I have this feeling that it'll turn into the next Bleach/Shingeki.
I almost never read discussions after I made my post, if you want to reply PM me or post on my profile page.

At last we get to know (those, who doesn't read manga), what was the real reason for Jun being hikikomori at time we first met him. This was good, pretty good... But reason, it isn't so painfully embarrassing to give up attending school....

Now we know why Middle School Jun is a shut-in.

College Jun X Saitou!!

Kirakishou brings College Jun to the N-Field.

But College Jun finishes making Shinku and then wakes her up, only to receive a Double Slap! Dat OST, by the way.

Shinku's finally awake! I wonder what will happen!
I’m always searching for something, for someone. This feeling has possessed me I think, from that day… That day when the stars came falling.

Not sure but didn't the past Jun say that she killed all of them or something? She probably got a couple of Rosa Mystica which made her more powerful than the rest.

Plot that goes over some points that I already know, it was so boring, but who is Rozen newbie will understand the importance of this episode. Character design I can not stand, but the lines of the designs are really fine and well-connected. Animations and accessible narrative, the owner of the shop where he works and Jun really complain, can not wait to take it kicks ass! * _ *

Shinku awakens! :D of course she slaps him xD

Jun sure had to go through a lot of trouble to make this vessel for Shinku. At least he didn't really care about all the school/work he was missing.

Also, how can the students call the skirt on Jun's princess dress design "too short" when right afterwards they have a shot with the short school skirts...?
