Man that sounds cool! I hope that's what happened!

Episode 11

Suiseiseki is such a good big sister. And Kanaria tried so hard too.

Episode 12

It seems that losing her sisters has finally driven Shinku into a true rage. This is the first time I'd say we've seen her be truly fierce.

Jun, stop talking. Seriously, stop talking before... oh look, she got stabbed. Good job hero.

Until he reveled that he wasn't really Rozen, I was thinking that Bara-Suisho would have been just as happy to be killed by Shinku as to win herself, going by the look on her face. Rozen's apprentice let the air out of that theory though. So if Bara-Suisho wasn't one of Rozen's dolls, does that mean there is still a seventh Rozen Maiden out there, or did Rozen actually only make six dolls?

I'm not sure how I feel about the ending. It isn't quite, "and it was all a dream" with Souseiseki and Hanaichigo still gone, but it still kind of feels like that.

Maybe Ouverture will answer some of my lingering questions. (ETA: Nope. But I got an awesome consolation prize.)

Suigintou backstory!

There really are seven dolls. You get a brief glimpse of the true seventh doll for a second or two at the very end of the episode.

And yeah Overture is totally awesome. It made a lot of people switch allegiance from Shinku to Suigintou. I am not one of them but I see their point.

Oh, the one that had the rose growing out of her eye? I had just thought they did something weird with Bara-Suisho there.

that sounds very awesome and makes sense.

episode 11

So its officially begun. i dont understand how Rozen can be so indifferent to his creations fighting and killing each other.

Poor Suiseiseki :(
Poor Kanaria, though she did better than i thought she would.

Well, it was his idea.

episode 12

Poor Shinku, i figured she would be the one to become alice. she would have if Jun hadnt stopped her.

So it is actually Rozen's apprentice and it was him not Rozen who made Bara-suisho.

so everyone came back except Souseiseki and Hina. wonder how Shinku can bring them back

There were some implications in the first season that Jun might have the potential to be like Rozen. That's the only possibility I can see.

Me too. She's my favorite character.

Thanks again lesterf for warning us away from watching this before Traumend was over. That one little scene could have spoiled the surprise.

I don't know about my allegiance, but she became cemented in my mind as the most interesting character once I learned her secret in the first season.

Ouverture 2

Wait, so she didn't even have a Rozen Mystica when she woke up? She just so thoroughly impressed Rozen that he gave her one after the fact? Damn but that is awesome. It also makes Rozen look like much less of a jerk, as I had originally thought that he had just left her alive and infused with a Rozen Mystica in the shop and then just walked off without finishing her body. This was basically the exact opposite of that.
