Rozen Maiden - Anime Spoilers & Speculation (for experienced Rozen Maiden fans only)
This thread is for the experienced Rozen Maiden viewer (i.e. those of you who are familiar with potentially all the light novels / manga), its purpose is to allow free discussion of theories and speculation over the Rozen Maiden anime series, it therefore will contain unmarked spoilers. If you are a light novel / manga virgin of Rozen Maiden, then do not read this thread unless you want to be spoiled (use the Speculation & Theories Thread).
Since posters are expected to be familiar with the light novel / manga, there is no real need for spoiler tags, but feel free to include them if you so wish. Adding a Spoiler tag:
Finally, please remain on-topic and do not use this thread if it's just discussion about the current or previous anime episodes. Also remember that this isn't a light novel / manga discussion thread, if you do want to discuss the light novel then please use the existing thread. |

Thank you for creating this thread, desu.
Anyway from what I understand, the new Rozen Maiden anime this summer seems like it's gonna adapt the Rozen Maiden II manga, which starts out as a reboot but then winds up continuing the main story via the multiverse theory. I wonder how much knowledge of the previous anime I'll need in order to watch it if it does wind up doing that.

Meh, I was hoping it wouldn't but now it seems pretty obvious the new anime retcons/ignores events of the first anime series to go with the manga.

Spoiler for animu/mango:
Father is still such a vague concept in the manga that I'm not sure even PEACH-PIT know where they are going with it. Besides, does anime really NEED to be exactly the same as the manga? They kind of already have with the recap, if we are to take those events seriously. Last edited by relentlessflame; 2013-07-14 at 22:02. |

When character personality changes are concerned, I think that the biggest difference between the Nomad anime and the manga would be Megu's personality.
In the anime, she's all "La la la, I want to die!", where in the manga, and I'm meaning early on, her personality is far more cynical, and almost psychotic in some cases. Spoiler:

I don't really see Ouvertüre as much of a stumbling block, Peach-Pit has never really gone into much detail as to why Suigintou and Shinku have their rivalry with each other, I think that they want to leave that up to the readers speculations, at least for now. The big problem is that the Nomad anime made a lot of changes early on while the manga was still being written, and they actually passed Peach-Pit, this happens a lot with anime adaptations, and it doesn't usually help the manga authors much. One of the mistakes that they made, which they kind of fixed in Träumend, was with the artificial spirits; in the 2004 series they talked a bit about the rosa mysticas, but then they went after the artificial spirits as though They were the rosa mysticas, this confused a lot of people into thinking that the artificial spirits were the rosa mysticas; somehow I think that the people at Nomad might have misunderstood something and thought the same. Spoiler for Träumend:
Spoiler for A little info on the rosa mystica and 'Father' (aka: Rozen)::

True, though I doubt it would go too well.
Also, when Shoujo no Tsukurikata (How to make a girl) ends, it goes right back to the regular manga. Spoiler for But. . .:
