add recThey may not seem similar at first glance, but Petite Princess Yucie and Angelic Layer are close cousins where it counts - focus and tone.
Both focus on determined young girls (the girls in Yucie might as well be twelve) chasing a dream, both focus on friendship and teamwork, and both are ultimately about growing up and family (fathers and daughters for Yucie, mothers and daughters for Angelic Layer). They also both feature romances that are not central to the overall story without feeling tacked-on in the process.Mostly, though, both leave you with a similar feeling when you're done: a feeling of warm and fuzzy triumph.

add recBoth fantasy series are strikingly similar in that a group of female characters, regardless if they're dolls or children, are adamant in obtaining the same goal. The princess candidates wish to become the "Platinum Princess," and the rozen maidens wish to become "Alice." It is like an elimination game where the winner, the only one left standing, receives the most supreme reward of all.
Rozen Maiden: Traumend
After defeating Suigintou, Jun, Shinku, Suiseiseki, Souseiseki, and Hina Ichigo continue going about their daily lives, with Jun now attending school and the dolls amusing themselves. Shinku, however, still carries much guilt over Suigintou's demise, because they were in the end still sisters. One night, however, Shinku spots Suigintou's partner spirit Mei-Mei and follows it into another artificial world, where she meets Barasuishou-- the seventh and final Rozen Maiden. With the Alice Game now accelerating with Barasuishou's apperance, will Shinku and friends be able to continue living their easygoing lives with Jun?
