Dat OST! I love it.

Uh, nice to see Suigintou back I guess.


I love her voice though. Megu also makes her debut and it's been awhile since I've seen her. Dat nostologia. Her song is also pleasant I guess.

The adaptation is really different from the other adaptation. Suiginto is a bit mellow compared to her of the other adaptation. I didn't imagine Suiginto would sleep with Meg on a bed. And Meg is a bit lighthearted and childish compared to Meg of the other adaptation.

Overall it was an enjoyable episode.

I may drop the series if Suiseiseki and Hina Ichigo shows up. They are annoying as hell to my ear.

I haven't seen the other adaptation, but seems like it wasn't as faithful to the manga as this one. Everything is pretty much going the same way as the manga and the characters are portrayed the same way too. Though Shinku is more annoying than I remember from the manga...maybe because I don't like Sawashiro Miyuki's voice, but still, it suits Shinku's haughty personality very well.

Nice seeing Suigintou's more sympathetic side :) I remember disliking her until when we see her interaction with Megu. And lol at Suigintou and Shinku's fight and Jun getting mad at them.

Going to miss the Nomad Suigintou. I like her patience with this version of Megu though. Manga Megu is rather chaotic.

Lack of music in this series is bugging me.

Is this a spoiler ? I haven't read the manga or watch the past seasons , so I'm not sure if it's true or it's just your assumption. I hope they end up together though

Wee! Suigintou finally appeared! She really looks more refined compared to the old anime.

Also, with the preview, it seems that Kirakishou is there. Ooh. I wonder if Saitou owns her??

The big reason is and always has been Suigintou's characterization. In the manga, she was only the the antagonist, until the first arc finished. Nomad( The creators of the first anime) expanded that notion that she was a villain. Which is why she's more villainous in Traumend and S1; In the manga it was never that way. She was portrayed as the 'irresponsible, vulgar Oneesan' who thinks of herself, and her pride created a small argument between her and Shinku, but it wasn't as big of a deal as it was in the nomad anime

It explains why Suigintou looks very differently. Her clothes are purely black instead of the dark purple, her eyes are not pink, and she doesn't have the missing torso, instead her back is cracked.

I want to know this too. Loving SaitoxJun


As for the ep...Really liked it :)

Seeing Suigintou's soft side was really nice. It must be tough dealing with someone crazy like Megu XD

Lol'd at Jun getting angry at both of them and forcing Shinku to clean hahaha.

Come on, Mikenzb, why'd you say something like that?
I also want them to get together, but along with what he said and some visual cues thrown around I feel perhaps the adult Jun will meet an unfortunate fate, like a sacrifice for the other Jun's world. That would really suck damn it. I like adult Jun a lot :(

This anime continues to be wonderful in art, animation, and music. It's just great.

As am i she is my favorite Rozen Maiden doll but if they continue to adapt the anime exactly like it is in the Manga you might have to wait awhile longer. just be patient :)

Uh so finally suigintou is back and it was a good choice to include some background characterization on her it will give those who are not familiar with this series more understanding and seeing Shinku finally getting a bit of scolding is so refreshing, I like her but sometime she can be a bit to Snoobish sometimes :P

Well, I barely understand what's going on in this anime. I guess that's what happens when you didn't watch the original Rozen Maiden before watching this. Dropped due to lack of interest and understanding of wtf is going on.

She's back, too bad she lost her servant too soon, then again her servant really wanted to die in the first place and doll with rose eye just granted it.

I must say I'm liking the story more and more. I hope we will be introduced to all of the dolls again. I really want to see how they all have changed like Skinku and Suigintou have. So it's look like the youngest sister is the main antagonist of this season.

btw, please don't let anything bad happen to Saitou. I really want the Jun of this universe to find happiness.

Yes indeed. I really laughing it out when Suigintou reappears 'innocently' before Shinku who do all the cleaning.

I've gotta say, I didn't really realize I'd miss Sugintou so much, but I sure damn was happy to see her this episode! I think they did her some justice in this series that she really kinda needed (and deserved). Plus, I'm glad to see more of the dolls, really. I also really enjoyed seeing Megu's story in amine form.

Oh, and as a side note: Her design (along with a few others...) has improved quite a lot from the first anime in my opinion. The art's just stinkin' good. I mean, c'mon.
Those wings.

Can't wait for moarr.

Oh wow, Gin-sama actually arrives in the alternate world. Looks like the Megu we saw really was the Megu from the original world. Apparently, Kirakishou took her (or her soul) away, and Suigintou has been looking for her ever since.

Funnily enough, their fight wasn't as heated as it was in the other, less faithful adaptation of RM1. Instead of being rivals and mortal enemies, Shinku and Suigintou looked like... kid sisters having a fight. I was half expecting Jun's apartment to be already burning by the time he got back. Unexpectedly, Jun got mad over the ruckus the two dolls were making in his apartment, and he actually made them clean up their mess. He managed to turned the tables on Shinku this time... unbelievable! The other Jun would have a much harder time with the dolls and their home antics...

Saitou is still unrelated for now, but it might be interesting if she turned out to be hosting one of the other dolls like adult Jun is now doing with Shinku. It doesn't make sense for her to keep appearing in the show if she never gets involved with any of the dolls.

I also wonder if this really only gonna be 13 episodes long. At the pace they're going, we won't see this arc completed by the end of the season.

It was nice to see Megu-chan again. Their relationship was portrayed much nice than in the previous season.

And lol at the scene where Shinku was reading the newspaper.

Aww, newspaper falling over Shinku was so cute.

Suigintou is here and it seems she has been through tough times. And this includes Megu being taken away from her.

Jun has power over the dolls, making them stop fighting and clean up the mess.
Jun's going to help Saitou with her play costumes!
I'm still shipping Jun with Saitou! I just hope nothing bad happens to them.

5/5

Beautiful shot of the scene that leads to Suigintou Shinku , although I see less hatred and less malice in her. Megu also looks different than in the past . Plot that becomes more and more interesting.
The series has a less entertaining narrative of the past, some I'm sorry , I did some laughter in the old series ! T_T
The narrative while pleasing to the pleasant fact that I never see before aspetttata , has blind spots for those who have not seen the previous series. One, as Megu came into possession of the suitcase and where located . Two , how do we get from Shinku if she was trapped ?
The narrative as well as lead to a forced coexistence between the two sisters is also pleasant for the many explanations that in the old series are almost never given. Nice!
Drawing nonn that if were not for the character design is really nice for the confirmation dellle fine lines and beautiful color design.
I do not know if they are done in CG , but the wings of Suigintou are really nice ! Well for me it is nice to be affected by the voices of dolls! * _ *

Meg seems much more cynical and angry rather than being "lighthearted."
