** May contain a few spoilers **


Well, I had heard about these series here and there, naturaly I speak of Rozen Maiden; henceforth I decided to download it off a torrent, despite beeing short (only 12 episodes) this is just the 1st season, last year was released the 2nd, which is the conclusion of the series, or so I think (I've only seen the 1st so far).
Anyway.., in the 1st season we get to see 5 of the 7 Rozen Maiden's, all of them have they're own "unique" caracter, but I was realy surprised with Suigin Tou, which is the antagonist of the 1st season.

The overall story was well concienved in my opinion but what realy got me was the dramatic aspects of the characters, when the season was over I couldn't realy help to feel sorry for Suigin and understod the reasons that led her to act the way she did.

But I have to say, throughout the entire series her presence has been astonishing, to say the least :P , everything fits so perfectly, her voice, her arrogance, narcisistic personality, and we go deep into her N-field all the darkness and destroyed buildings which realy show how her heart is.

She clearly is more powerfull then all the Maidens (if none have a medium of course), and her powers with the black wings are outstanding, we have to face it, specialy when she transformed them into the hound-like-shape.
Yet.. she still is defeated which makes the entire background, role fit in the perfect way for her type of character.

To me at the moment she has got to be one of the best antagonists in all the series of anime I've seen, its just a combination of aspects which make her so good, I understand if you don't belive me, after all its the kind of series one has to see with his/her own eyes.

A thought just keeps coming to mind on the description of a wallpaper I saw here in AP about Suigin, it said something like "she can be thinking in a thounsand ways to kill you, but at the end you will still beg her for more"
I think that clearly sums Suigin up in my eyes :)

What about you, what do you think ?

Suigin tou basicly made me watch Rozen Maiden. Her aperance in the opening already sparked some curiosity into me, but when she actualy showed up with that line of hers... ''So it's been (don't remeber the number) hours since we last met''... I fell in love right there =P

The way she acts, like nothing could bother her, that she is above all... but in reality she is easily poked and angered... I think that's so cute =) ... she is kinda like Shinku in that respect tho, what really makes her unique imo is her ''false'' narcissism, and the way she hides this, which, like you said Ayanami, makes you feel sorry for her in the end

Shes a very queer character, suitable for evil.

Not a rozen maiden fan, havnt seen any episodes, tell me
wat she looks like, seems to me her character is a laid back evil
kewl, does anyone have a picture? lol

does anyone have a picture? lol

Well, you could just take a quick look at my avatar, but you should really check out this wallpaper instead

You can go and see some of the Rozen Maiden Wallpapers here in AP for her picture ZerOSamuraiX, she is on most of them anyway, and pretty easy to reconize :P

Its a shame that not "that" many people know Rozen Maiden, despite it beeing a very recent anime, its kind of one of those "hidden pearls".., I recon most don't want to watch it because its with dolls after all..

Still, and to my surprise after watching it, despite beeing with dolls thise anime tackels into much more aspects then one can imagine at first, such as many possible ways to explain reality and that there is hope wihtin depression.

Suigin Tou made me watch Rozen Maiden aswell, it was all about how she looked on the pictures I saw that realy made me think..., such a character even though in an anime with dolls has got to be worth watching.

Altough I am told her "caracter" changes a bit in the 2nd Season, which I am still to see..

Many thanks for the replies everyone :)

Suigin Tou, her laughes are still can be heard in my ear (-_-!)
I feel very sad about Suigin Tou's body. (TT_TT)
I agreed that she is the best antagonist that I have seen so far, but I didn't watch Rozen Maiden because of her, I watch because of Shiku :P

Not quite, at least, imo =P

I would say her true self is better exposed this time around

Omakase! I just saw the thread. To begin...
There is no antagonist cooler than Suigintou
...maybe Barasuisho





There just HAS to be a Season 3 after what happened in Traumend. I recommend this to absolutely anyone. WATCH IT NOW!!

No no no... Barasuisho was mere filler... her existence is owed to the fact that Suigintou couldn't fill the ''bad doll'' spot this time... no way she was half as cool as Suigintou @#$¨%#@

*end of rant

And...



That's one doll I wouldn't mind having O_o

Yeah, Suigintou has proven to be one of the character that made people drawn into the anime. I have asked a lot of my anime fans friends on the net and real life and most of them started watching Rozen Maiden after seeing Suigintou in one of the scenes.

I don't think so. In the end, Alice Game is over and that is actually the whole point of Traumend: To explain more about Alice Game and the battle itself. The first series is only character introduction of some of the dolls.

With father coming to Shinku at the end and telling her to fix Souseiseki's and Hina Ichigou's problem (their missing roza mystica) and adding the obscure little info that the alice game isn't the only way to become Alice, all point to a third season

Traumend defnitly didn't have a conclusive ending

Jeez...if that is the case, then it must be saying that the entire season itself is meant to be a filler.
But anyway, nonetheless, I do admire Suigintoh's personality, it did not explain if she and Meg made it, did she die? or what happened overall?

うそ! うそ, です! Noo...!~ It can't be over. There are just TOO many questions for it to be over.
like *SPOILERS* & pics!:

What is the other way to become Alice? Who will be the one to become Alice? I really had high hopes of meeting the girl who is more sublime than any flower, purer than any jewel, without a single flaw, the perfect girl!

♥~ ♥

And what about Barasuisho?


And Kirakishou? ←seems like she appeared only once in Traumend but is explained more in the manga only.


And will Jun ever meet Megu and Micchan?


I have so many questions unanswered. So many that I could not even remember anymore what they are...
I DEMAND A 3rd SEASON‼ =P

Now for some Suigintou eyecandy. ^_^_^_^




All that aside, any Suiseiseki and Shinku fans here too?

Lol it's anoying to talk in spoiler mode all the time... but what the heck =P

SPOILER (click to view)

Yeah, there is the whole Kirakishou thing... damn that was confusing... when I saw her in the anime I thought it was the fixed Barasuisho, the anime didn't identify her, so if you didn't read the manga or visit wikipedia, you woldn't know that she (it) was actualy the TRUE seventh doll...

If anything Kirakishou is more than enough reason for one more season

Omnidevil

it did not explain if she and Meg made it, did she die? or what happened overall?

SPOILER (click to view)

There is a very brief scene at the end that showed Suigintou looking at Meg with a happy face, so both are still alive
