Rozen Maiden Fanaticism
Since the outbreak of the anime series known as 「Rozen Maiden」, it has spawned countless fanatics. (As though this sub-forum isn't already evidence of that..) One such example, and perhaps the most popular one, would be that of Muir Woods a.k.a Humbert Humbert. He has developed an obsession for Shinku, Rozen's 5th doll. His pure devotion has earned him respect, even througout 4chan. Muir Woods has already become an icon for fellow fans of the show. Quote:

And this, remember, is an obsession for Shinku. One can only imagine, if she truly becomes Alice.

I'm made to believe that Kirakishou may has the abilty to shapeshift/change her appearance and her theme(s) of battle is of a spider.
Spoiler for possible information about Kirakishou's fighting style:

In the first season, Suigintou didnt have a torso, neither did she have 1 during traumend. It was only in the last episode of Traumend did she recieve a torso from Rozen. About who restored her after season 1 (after being burnt by Shinku) it is most likely to be Rozen as well(watch Overture opening).

I need translation for this scan...whatever it is, I know is about Alice, and may have some important information...
Spoiler:
Btw, found really interesting stuff about alchemy related with the names of the Rozen Maiden, and what a Rosa Mystica could be. I'll post it later. |

Eh... What's there to explain?
"Desu" is something Sui uses alot; it peppers her sentences. It makes her cute; especially in the manner that she says it. That makes her have a lot of fanboys (like me). These fanboys (and some imposters) love using Desu because it reminds them of the Queen of Desu. // if you haven't already done so, watch Rozen Maiden. It's love.

Anyway, I can't give a translation of that, because I can't read it (Chinese) and I don't actually have it in Japanese. I have read it before though, so I can give you the gist of it. Spoiler for Kira's nature/how she was created:

Thanks a lot for your help. I have to say, it was really interesting to read, specially for the alchemy part. It seems that Peach-Pit tried to put some concrete basis for the plot, and this are the kind of things that leaves us with questions..that hopefully are going to be solved at season three.
Anyways, I knew it! It truly had something new into it (at least for me^^) |

Who is Rozen, the mysterious "Father" ?
Someone on another forum claimed that Rozen is actually the Count de Saint-Germain, a historical figure from the 18th century :
Saint-Germain was a rather eccentric fellow, who was said to be an alchemist, having discovered the secret of eternal life. ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Count_of_St_Germain ) This image from the Rozen Maiden manga seems to confirm this : The last panel says something like "count Saint-Germain is nothing but a cheater"... Also, the manga page matches this image from episode 8 of Traümend where Shinku reminisces about her "father" : Does anyone have more details about Rozen’s background in the manga ? Anyway, if this is true, why did Peach-Pit choose Count Saint-Germain as "Father" and have him call himself "Rozen" ? Maybe because there was a "rumour" that St Germain was the "reincarnation" of Christian Rosenkreutz, the founder of a mystical secret society in the 15th century called the "Rose Cross" (still in activity in the 18th century) : By the way, in the 18th century, mechanical automatons were very popular ; some craftsmen were able to build amazing automatons who could play instruments, write and even draw : Incidentally, at the same time, the Japanese had also become quite adept at making automatons, called "karakuri ningyou" : Anyway, in the image from the manga, we see Rozen/St Germain with a glowing stone... probably trying to make a "Rosa Mystica". Actually, Saint-Germain was known for owning a huge amount of precious gems, and for knowing a mysterious technique for purging gems from any impurities. He also claimed to have mastered the secret of the "philosopher's stone", which granted eternal youth and could turn lead to gold. Incidentally, during the 13th century, there was a German theologist, philosopher and alchemist called Albertus Magnus who allegedly used a "philosopher’s stone" to build a talking, thinking automaton with a soul. Albertus’ "android" was later destroyed by his apprentice Thomas Aquinus for being a "tool of Satan". Anyway, there is one question that has often been asked, due to the cruel "Alice Game" : is Rozen evil ? Well, count St Germain appears in another recent anime, "le Chevalier d’Eon", and he’s definitely evil (and sports an ugly haircut) ^_^ : |
