This "Gin kicks Stinku's ass" or "Gin is pure evil" or "Stinku rapes Gin" crap is pretty entertaining

I can just see Gin and Shinku shaking their heads at their fans and giving out a heavy sigh of disappointment Seems very few people understand their dillemma and the emotional pain that they both have felt.

Actually, I;m a PHD in Doll Psychology. Sugintou's inferiority complex makes my bank balance very happy.

As for Desu........well most days it's easier to drug her and have her look at pictures.

Actually it is mostly all against Shinku at the mo which is a shame. I think to really appreciate Rozen Maiden (the story) you have to look at the story from each of the characters eyes and do your best to empathize with them.

Yeah, that's too bad. She's my 2nd favourite. However, I can empathize with each one of the dolls, even Bara, but except for Kira, since I know next to nothing about her right now. In time, I'm sure I will.

Only when her chequebook bounces.

[EnigmaticThief]

My vote is for Souseiseki.

More than anything, I like how her weapon and fighting style reflect her personality. Souseiseki's nature is to cut away those things which would cause harm to those she cares for, and her personality is straightforward ("cutting to the quick.") She also seems to be the most insightful and contemplative of the dolls.

Spoiler:

However, this nature causes her tragic downfall. Dang it... why do I always go for the characters who end up dead (or the rough equivalent?)

Closely running-up would be Suigintou. After watching Ouverture I can really appreciate how she drove herself so far without even aid from Rozen. She's what I would call a "self-made" doll, with a little help from Rozen along the way.

well i wont say thats its mostly against shinku but its just that she did screw up her relationship with gin pretty bad in ouverture ~ and it makes me wonder it could have ended differently ~ well from season 1 & 2 weve already seen shinku's side of the story and it didnt affect me much on how much i liked her...but within just 2 eps from the ova of gin's point of view im a total fanboy of her now i guess i just didnt like shinku to begin with anyway >.<

[Shiryuu]

Suigintou - Everyone likes Suigintou.
Bara - She was a cool villain, her end was sad though.
Tomoe

I haven't seen Kira yet, so I'm gonna refrain from voting right now.

Quoted for great truth.

[ashe]

shinku, suiseiseki and suigintou (ouverture) are my pick!

He dosn't seem like such a nice person, as he was blatently rubbing her nose in it.

Hmm... my impression from the OVA was that Suigintou was never supposed to have become animate and she did so on her own, same way her powers worked without a medium in the first season- her soul is just that strong. So maybe Rozen didn't even know she was alive in there. He does look awfully space-cadet in a lot of those shots.

[Chi-no]

I choose Suigintou, Shinku, Hana-Ichigo and Barasuishou. Kinda like them ...

[JKL]

*Suigintou
*Shinku
*Kanaria
*Hina Ichigo

But really, I love them all!

[Lucy-sama]

I voted Shinku and Suigintou. I <3 them both.

[_duangelique]

I have to send a vote for all the characters (even for Papa). Here's my ranking:

1. Sou (inspired me to use Lolita Lempicka parfums)
2. Sui (I taught my little brother to say "desu" at the end of his sentences)
3. Kanaria (I usually make ridiculous out of myself, just like her. And...why does everybody think that I'm a smarty pants??? )
4. Gin (she will share 1st place with Sou as soon as she returns her Rosa Mystica. But 90% of my gastric crisis were solved when I met Yakult. To me it's better to not have a stomach than to feel the pain of a torch swirling into it)
5. Kira and Bara (both in same place, to me they are very similar to each other. But the way that Kira kills Hina in the manga is *.*)
6. Hina (...and my little brother also says some "unyuu". I have a cosplay of her, too)
7. Rozen (I'm making some astrology studies, so an alchemist is always welcomed)
8. Jun (o poor Jun, he should be canonized for dealing with two wicked dolls and a crazy sister every day)
9. Shinku (seriously, I can't stand her. Specially in the manga...)

I love all Rozen Maidens333. No offense to Shinku fans, or Papa-Bastard Bunny haters.

[Kageitenshi]

This pattern seems to be quite prevalent, voted for my top 3
1. Gin-sama
2. Desu
3. Shinku

The top three when it comes to overall score rankings based on things I like and dislike about them using 1-5 point ranking. Oh but Gin-sama gets a +5 point advantage (fufufufu~) just for being someone I can personally relate to. Desu is so great that I can actually forgive her for wearing green.
Sou and Bara share 4th spot, if it were for knowing Kira better, I'd believe she'd be there with them. Sou's occasionally a bit too masculine for my taste, other than that she'd share second place with her sister.
Hina isn't too bad either, just too... uhh pink! Unyuu! Unfortunate for her, being adorable isn't quite enough na-no~ So she gets 5th place na-no~.
Kanaria... if only she would actually play that violin properly instead of the horrible destructive discord I might actually appreciate her more, she gets -5 points for that alone - kashira!

Rozen, if it weren't for him, we wouldn't have all these more or less adorable dolls! So he'd deserve to be at least forgiven by those who believe him to be "guilty until proven innocent" if not given a name in the poll ^______^

[snow_undine]

why isn't rozen here? anyway, i voted for gin-sama, barashuishou, souseiseki, shinku, kirakishou and others(rozen)

[Ichgoki]

Well....perhaps Rozen only as memories? But then again I remember Shinku (was it?) say that father (Rozen) always appear in every age and in different form. That makes me wonder...is Jun actually Rozen in RM storyline time?
I vote only for Suiseiseki and Suigintou. For all others, I don't have any extreme likes or dislikes.
....Don't ask why....Even if you ask why I won't answer it. Because I'm pretty sure some of the member will start hunt me and crush me if I answer it.

[Lost]

^ Lol, no we wont do that to you. Feel free to share your honest comments. All new posters are welcomed to this sub-forum.

//I think that it is unlikely that Jun is Rozen, or a reincarnation, or what not; because Rozen appears together with Jun in the same location during the last episode of Traumend.

[Alexandra-chan]

My favorite characters are Shinku, Suigintou, Suiseiseki, and Hina-Ichigo. Kanaria might become one of my favorites. I just don't know to much about her right now.
