The main artwork image sort of reminds me of Rizelmine. Hm, looks good, I'll be checking this one out ^_^

Yamano667 · 2004-08-21, 06:59

The art looks good

nekodar · 2004-09-06, 02:27

Updated with the announced voice cast for this show.

Thelastguardian · 2004-09-06, 02:52

Looks like the gang of lolita complex would be shaking in joy.

Could be interesting, I will watch it once it is out.

I predict that the 2D otaku will compare the characters to various anime characters base on their physical apparence.

Melty Snow · 2004-09-13, 04:32

Saw the/one of the promos....
Anyone know what this is about? It reminds me of Cosette, well only the creepy looking blonde loli part.
The site looks kawaii and happy, but "dangerous night of dolls" from promo does not sound too kawaii nor happy at all. Lifelike doll's already scare me right now

.

dreamless · 2004-09-19, 00:48

I don't really think the site or the promo kawaii or happy

there are already two loligoths in the characters section, the main loli doll "true red" and the even more gothic looking loli doll "mercury lamp", also the line in the promo "Now swear, on the ring fo rose, that you will protect my Rosa Mystica" just sounds super creepy to me especially back the background music... now my only question is, why the music sound almost exactly the same as Avenger

Probably because it's by the same artist - See-Saw

umm... but the staff list doesn't say See-Saw, it says Mitsumune Nobuyoshi for music. Besides Avenger music is by Ali Project, not See-Saw...

Reticia · 2004-10-09, 03:45

Does anybody know something about this anime?

EDIT : Excuse me for posting the topic in the fa,sub forum when it was in the General forum, but i didn't see it

I know that it isn't fansubbed and there is already a thread about it. You thread has been moved and merged accordingly.

If you take a glance above your post you'd see that several people have already posted the information that you'd have found if you had a clue on how to use the search feature. Hint: Click on search and type Rozen Maiden in the bar.

guest · 2004-10-09, 04:04

This series looks like 3x3 (eyes) with a... "modern" touch (better music, better character design, better animation). The story seems similar to 3x3, although I only know a little about it.
But the art is gorgeous, I mean the OP and EP. Somehow, other than that, it seems OK. I don't know. I don't think I am going to follow this one, though. Unless it has a good plot, then I might change my mind.

Guest...in process of "scanning" new anime to follow for Fall.

stormy001_M1A2 · 2004-10-09, 05:02

Is it done by Twin Bee studio?

I created a topic in the fansub forum, and it was moved here....i didn't know there was already one here

Lord Raiden · 2004-10-09, 08:55

I saw the raw of the first episode of this anime and I was thuroughly unimpressed. It reminded me of a very poorly done Konjiki no Gash Bell!! and strangely enough had a very strange Avenger-esque feel to the opening and part of the show too. This is definately not one I'm going to watch as unless it improves drastically, I'm not even going to try and force myself to watch it. I normally believe in the 3-5 rule, but this one has made me decide not to even bother to follow that rule. But we'll see. I'll check this out again later on in the series because it may surprise me.

dreamless · 2004-10-09, 09:25

Now I understand the Avenger-esque music here, indeed Ali Project (responsible for Avenger music) has done some music for Rozen Maiden.

It's done by a studio named NOMAD I think...

Mitsumune Nobuyoshi's name should be Mitsumune Shinkichi. I got it off from my Utena OST CD. And yes, he was responsible for the music in Shoujo Kakumei Utena. The OP is by Ali Project, hence the similarity.

Stormy, the production team you are thinking should be Bee Train, not Twin Bee. (ED: And Bee Train is definitely not the production team for this series. Sorry about the confusion.)

By the way, the manga Rozen Maiden is being scanlated by BNC Scanlation. They've finished the first volume. IMO the story isn't very dark at the moment, but you have a kid who doesn't go to school, stays at home all day, and buying things online. There's bound to be some secrets going on. You might want to check out the scans. Go to BNC's IRC channel for the scans.

Kaoru Chujo · 2004-10-09, 17:00

I've seen the raw, too, and have a totally different reaction: I really like the character design of the Rozen Maiden, and find the story intriguing. I can't understand everything they say, but it appears that the living doll was put in its case many decades ago, and now is mysteriously delivered to the young on-line-purchasing otaku. Her peeved little expression, with a strange courtly propriety and kindness behind it, is interesting. We'll see where the plot goes.

Not really, Usually its the other way around. Just watch any harem series.

But its good that we have these kind of series also, guy as a "slave".

I decided to watch Rozen Maiden and Tsukuyomi when they are subbed, not raws, even thought its killing me to see new messages posted in threads knowing that they have already watched it.
