Holy snap, calm down desu. I prefer the view that they just brilliantly found a method to transition the series to a new publisher -- and continue it from there. This perspective is far more optimistic and beneficial to us fans, ne? :P

They practically threw away the entire plot. If they were going to continue the manga that is.
Any possible continuation will be set like 50 years into the future with different main characters or a couple of years into the future with a slightly older Jun/Nori, BUT IT JUST WONT BE THE SAME. And everyone will be cracking jokes the ENTIRE TIME about how they are going to get a "OOPS WE RAN OUT OF TIME LULZ" rabbit ending again.

So.....the surviving dolls just go to sleep?
That was pathetic. I read book 6, the story was just getting started! Kira had so much potential, there was still Sou and Hina to bring back, and possibly Bara being introduced, Jun and Tomoe to start getting closer, and Nori to learn to stand up for herself a bit more. Why does crap like Love Hina go on and on and on and get a sequal, but Rozen Maiden gets snapped shut so fast? I was disapointed by DearS ending, but this takes the cake! I really hope they are going to do a sequeal, there is no sense of finality about this, it's just like, they killed a story half way! |

it's the same reason newtype USA only ran a volume 1 review last month, but haruhi (which i've decided i don't like) gets a 4 page spread... this month... because to the frothing masses, a show about dolls fighting each other is too weird... Spoiler for haruhi:
in a way i thank god that this is the way of things, since it keeps the dedicated rozen maiden forums free of narutards...  (they're too busy raving about the 282nd episode of ninja kids fighting each other to notice 24 episodes of REAL anime  )

Honestly if this is the true ending, it's the absolute worst one in a manga. No sense of completion. You coudnt finish the story of Vol 7 in just one chapter. I know Love Hina is more popular, but god help me, it's absolute crap. |

Based on a "Minor" Manga, the Rozen Maiden Anime Has Sold Well on DVD in Japan
Rozen Maiden DVD Sales in Japan
Quote:
Upon seeing the first week sales figure when it came out back in February 2007 for the Rozen Maiden Ouverture Limited Edition DVD, a Japanese poster on a 2ch thread about animation DVD sales in Japan wondered how can the Rozen Maiden anime sell so many DVDs, given that it is based on a minor manga serialized in a minor magazine (Comic BIRZ)? Directing, writing, characters, voice acting by the Japanese seiyuu, etc., may play roles in the success of Rozen Maiden DVD sales in Japan. From what I have gathered from news and information by various Japanese sources (e.g., "Late Night Anime: TV Audience Ratings < Business" {"Shin'ya Anime = Shichouritsu < Business"}), as well as from a number of observations and comments by Japanese fans, with notable exceptions like Fuji TV's Noitamina block and NANA, DVD sales are more important than television audience ratings for a late night anime show. From a business standpoint, the Rozen Maiden anime appears to be a success. It looks like it made money on DVD in Japan. Having followed animation DVD sales in Japan the past few years, I noticed that recently more and more late night anime titles are not selling, or not selling well, on DVD in Japan as they did in the past. Most late night anime seem to be not selling in Japan (which, to a large extent, has apparently long held true). Rozen Maiden has proven itself to be one of a small percentage of anime titles which sell on DVD in Japan - something which certainly does not hurt its chance of getting a third television series.

probably... but most likely it'll be in Chinese...
i know when i was in Malaysia earlier this year, there were heaps of manga shops around, but said manga was either in Japanese or Chinese and i couldn't read any of it... i had to track down a borders book store before i found manga that i could read... and then proceeded to waste 550 Ringett on them and 3 artobooks (worked out to be AUS$200.00, so i saved heaps)... i also spotted bootleged copies of the dvd's... |

This whole situation with the final volume leads me to believe all the more that Peach-Pit will find a new magazine to continue it in. Not having any bonus content in the final volume just means that the fight they got into with the editorial team was resolved very very badly. The final chapter was a contractual obligation, and them leaving an open ending means that they're not happy about it and are telling the fans it wasn't their fault or choice. So it wouldn't surprise me at all if, six months from now or whenever, the story starts up again with a different name in a different magazine. Time will tell, of course, but this whole situation just seems like the fallout of a very big fight.

Looks like something about Peach-Pit killing off any hope of a Rozen Maiden sequel. Oh well, sucks to be us readers I guess.
