This series is AWESOME!
OK, for those who have NO idea what Rozen Maiden is, it is a story about dolls (no, that was not a typo) who play the Alice Game in order to meet their maker, whom they refer to as Father. The Alice Game is a game in which you use your powers to defeat the adversary. When you win, you take the loser's Rosa Mystica, the power which allows the doll the freedom of movement. The one who collects all her sisters' Rosae Mysticae will become Alice, a girl who lives in Father and is said to be "...more sublime than any flower, purer than any gem, and without a touch of impurity."
The dolls, if they wish, will choose a medium to aid them in the Alice Game. The medium is a human who chooses to become the doll's servant and gives his power and energy to the doll. The main characters are Shinku, the fifth doll of the Rozen Maiden, and her medium, Sakurada Jun*.
Auri finished the entire thing in two days! It's 12 episodes per season, and there's a 1-hour OVA. The series order goes like this:
-Rozen Maiden
-Rozen Maiden: Traumend
-Rozen Maiden: Ouverture
Here are the seven dolls of the Rozen Maiden in the order of their creation.
