Rozen Maiden Ouverture DVD is a Hit ... Very Good for a "Niche" Anime about Dolls

I don't know... compared to what? The sales figures shown place it above 75% of all the other anime in Japan, and the growing trend certainly bodes well for the franchise. You're still looking at $3 million+ in sales on the DVDs alone (never mind CDs, manga, and other merchandise). For a niche show, that's not bad at all.

I'm talking about the anime itself and the dvd sales... not the figures or all other goodies arounf R.M (indeed cute victorian dolls are good looking in a collection but...). I was just expecting a bit more but don't mind, as long as those sales are enough to bring us a new season, I don't complain. (it's up to Peach Pit to finish their manga, now).

Actually, that's exactly right. In Japan, it aired past midnight, and was targeted exclusively at hardcore anime fans, whereas the shounen shows you listed are in primetime or Saturday morning timeslots accessible to everyone. Its popularity in North America will be similarly limited because it'd never air on Cartoon Network or anything like that (unlike those same shounen shows); the sales will be limited to hardcore anime fans (and those who saw the show on fansubs). So, you're quite absolutely right... but that's the way it is with a lot of anime. That is what makes it all the more important for the fans to buy merchandise for the shows they like -- that, after all, is what makes one thing more popular than another.

In worst case scenario, those kidss will be traumatized by doll....which will make them avoid dolls at all cause, which soon later in life will forbid their kids from buying doll. Multiply this with millions of kids who will be future mommy and daddy, it will be a generation of 'dolless' which in turn could shut down the whole doll industries.... Sigh..... I just got nothing to do right now. Bare with me with all the junk I've written so far... |

ANyway if it aired on cartoon network many kids wont be that effected as it is getting alittle more adult in its comedy and actions shows then it used to such as Naruto, Dragonballz, Rurouni Kenshin, and especially Adult Swim, if kids arent traumatized by those that do show blood, but are while watching Rozen Maiden then Rozen Maiden has to be one scary piece of shit. |

And don't forget Ali Project's lyrics quite... "violent" for kids... Nori talking about Shinku as a "Dutch Wife" (kids can google, now), and other dark and mature themes that Rozen Maiden deals with (euthanasia with Megu's case).
And it seems that Geneon choose the "16+" to rate RM's audience. RM is truly NOT a kid anime... I have a 10 years old goddaughter who wanted to know more about this show because she liked the "santa-desu" I drawn for her. And I was quite embarassed when it came to explain her why I didn't want her to watch it. |
