Rozen Maiden: Träumend
Oshimeter
Synopsis
Gorgeous, fragile dolls wage war against one another to become the perfect creation of their maker, and it goes about as well as you'd expect. Rozen Maiden: Träumend picks up where the first season left off, Jun Sakurada, a shut-in kid who's slowly getting his life back together, is still partnered with Shinku, an elegant and sharp-tongued doll who treats his house like her personal estate. The other Rozen Maiden dolls are hanging around too, each with their own quirks and loyalties, and for a while things feel almost peaceful. Then Barasuishou shows up, a mysterious seventh doll, and suddenly the Alice Game, this brutal competition where dolls steal each other's life force to become complete, kicks into high gear. The stakes from season one? They get real here. Don't let the gothic lolita aesthetic fool you, this 12-episode TV series gets genuinely emotional. The doll designs are gorgeous, the soundtrack is haunting in the best way, and the power system around the Rosa Mystica gives every fight real consequences. Characters you've grown attached to are not safe. If you liked the darker undercurrents of Puella Magi Madoka Magica or the surreal feminine energy of Revolutionary Girl Utena, this hits a similar nerve. It's a seinen series from 2005 by Studio Nomad, adapted from the manga, and it balances its quieter character moments with action that actually means something. Watch the first season before this one, though, you'll want that foundation.

I went through a lot of emotions during this final episode and came out somewhat satisfied but mostly disappointed? I feel like a lot is still unresolved. Such a big battle and climax only for it to end on a good note with nothing else to jump to right after? I feel cheated. I'd say that other than this ending, I quite liked the show and theme. Perhaps a little all over the place but I had fun watching it. I just wish it could be much more than it presents itself as.
Nooooooo it just keeps getting worse and worse as the fight progresses. Kanaria is definitely best girl right now for standing up for Suiseiseki. She really did do her best because godamn, she did some incredible damage at the end there and that's commendable. Now there's only one episode left and it better redeem itself or I'm gonna be very, very angy and disappoint.
Oh man, did they really have to hit us so hard with a double whammy of grief? Damn.. I am absolutely devastated at the current turn of events and talking about any of it will just spoil it. Just know that two great characters are no longer with us! The attachment was extremely strong with this one. But now that the cat's out of the bag with Rozen, and only two episodes are left, it could only mean one thing. Unless there is a plot twist I'm not aware of.
Well, shit. Now it's getting REAL. They really had to make the first half of the episode all fun and optimistic only for it to turn incredibly dark in the latter half. Could kinda see it coming since it was written all over when the flag was raised early on. It is pretty much THE catalyst to get the Alice game going. RIP, you'll be missed!
Jun getting first hand experience with Rozen really shows how he is as a person and especially during the creation of the dolls. Barasuishou is pretty good at attacking people's weakness and it's no wonder she convinced Souseiseki to go along with the Alice game. That end scene was pretty damn sad. Is it finally time to get serious?
Sweetness and cuteness overload - that's how I would describe the 7th entry of S02. In typical fashion, we do another 180 in tone shift for more goofness. I really wanted the fight to be more serious because it was honestly great but ended up being a little underwhelming. Maybe for the better? Souseiseki has the right idea and is taking the whole thing seriously unlike Shinku who is delusional and Kanaria who isn't committed enough to see anything through. We're slowly but surely getting to the bottom of it.
Well, I'll be damned. That was a beautiful episode. I really wasn't expecting Suigintou to make a return, but that just makes it all the more exciting? How do I even talk about the episode without spoiling it? The encounter with Barasuishou, Shinku and remembering her past AND the final scene that contained a hint of malice or secret plans - it was all so engaging from start to end. Almost like a dream. A complete shift in tone for the series, especially after the whole set of comedy in the last one. It's taking its sweet time but when we get the real deal, it's good.
Holy crap, that was a really funny episode. It really is my favorite episode so far. If you told me that this was the show and there was no fighting or Alice Game or whatever, I'd be all over it. The antics are over the top cute and Hinaichigo is so terrible at getting attention and so mischievous that it just leads to a shit ton of chaos. Normally I'd think this humor to be bad, but somehow the characters of the dolls are all just so charming and stupid at the same time (in a good way). I really could use some more of this.
Was expecting a full blown fight but damn, it was just a tease! And we almost got all out action. Barasuishou is still really mysterious to the point where you don't even know what she's thinking about other than wanting to fight - stark contrast compared to the others. I have to say, Kanaria really is a stand out character for being so silly, even more so than Hinaichigo. So damn cute every time she's on screen! Of course, can't leave without mentioning the incredibly wholesome moment at the end with Suiseiseki and Jun~
I was expecting the fight or something serious to begin but turns out, none of that happened. But I don't mind this kind of goofyness either for now. It was quite entertaining with Kanaria and her silly antics.. Not even one dull moment. But I do hope we get going because it's max silly and then 1 minute of "hey, it's time to get serious". If the next one is like that, I'm 100% in.
Another fruitful episode. It was kinda tense all throughout, even surpassing Hinaichigo and Suiseiseki's antics.. The biggest conflict that I'm glad was resolved was regarding Barasuishou - it perfectly setup the mood and premise. Even if it felt like nothing happened, I'd say this was necessary to make sure they're all on the same page. Perhaps the fun little home stuff might end soon.
It was great seeing all the dolls and their antics once again. It's been a while since I watched the first season and it's hard to remember. But the show did a great job in doing a mini recap as part of the story itself. It didn't cover everything, but it reminded us on where it ended and where exactly it's going. And I feel it's just going to get better as it gets more serious. That is evident by the final scene where they introduced another doll, Barasuishou!!
The action scenes were good and there’s also unexpected things for me. Also, I didn't expect to learn that! The twist is really twisting lol. And it was a satisfying ending for me but there’s still a room for improvement since I still have a question that I think left unanswered. But, it was all good and I enjoyed it.
It’s an action packed and emotional ep. I like that it's full blown and long action and the animation effect was so good. But it’s also emotional for me and I can’t help but to be sad while watching this. Also, the pacing was really good and really sets the mood for the next ep.
Let me breathe for a sec because wtf happened? It’s been an emotional journey for me this ep, it’s sad and tragic for me. I didn’t expect this Hina! Also, I was right all along that the vibes I'm getting at from that guy were true. Well, I expected those twist already but this just sets up the mood for an intense and serious next ep.
This was definitely a jaw dropping ep. I didn’t expect that! It was intense and the problems just kept piling up. It was also a bit emotional for me and made me pause for a bit after watching that scene. Tho the action scene was good and i like the effects but that’s not what I want to happen T_T.
The twist and mystery kinda made my head hurt. It’s getting conflicted and interesting at the same time. And now Souseiseki is being like that, doesn’t make this any better but definitely made me curious. I also like that there’s a balance of fun and emotional here. And I have this idea about Jun but I'll leave it for later.
What I noticed here is that after an intense ep the next one will be comedy. But that just frustrated me more coz the build up was getting off. Like this ep, the first half was fun and wholesome but kinda defeats the build up of what happened from last ep. But at least, the last half was kinda intense and I like the animation effects.
I didn’t expect that. The twist makes this more interesting. I think it will be more intense just by watching the build up of the plot. It feels like a twist after twist tho I kinda get that kinda vibe from him and now I was right. And just wanna add that the song/music sounds so good to my ear.
I thought it’ll be the continuation of what happened from the last ep. But this feels like a filler ep tho I actually enjoyed it since it’s kinda fun and absolutely comedy. Also, feels like a breather since it’s been tense last ep. Still, I wanna know what’s coming next to feed my curiosity.
