It would have been better if they have been consistent.<br /><br />You're welcome!

If it focused on either slice of life...Oh, I agree. If it focused on either slice of life or the fights, that would have been great. But since they started off with a battle setting and then immediately changed it to slice of life, it was disappointing... If anything, they should have made the original series focus on battles and then have a spin-off slice of life if they really wanted to. >.<<br /><br />Yeah, when I watched the first season, I didn't like Suigintou. That was mostly due to the fact that she was portrayed as the antagonist, though, and I didn't know enough about her to actually come to like her.<br /><br />Oh, thank you so much for following my blog!

I don't know. I just enjoy seeing and reviewing random anime titles, regardless of popularity. It gives me knowledge of how anime could expand as a medium, for better or worse.Arvin Saintshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11875296044665788756noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9060644602857566943.post-13004817349302885692014-03-05T22:41:58.709+08:002014-03-05T22:41:58.709+08:00Great review again!

Unless the other series of the franchise are significantly better, I will likely skip this series or wait until there is not a lot great anime left for me to watch. The animation looks decent though.<br /><br />-JamesJames the Reviewerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00165238905288033483noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9060644602857566943.post-40015006362638159622014-03-05T22:34:33.897+08:002014-03-05T22:34:33.897+08:00I think the slice of life tendencies just ruined t...I think the slice of life tendencies just ruined the good concept. It could have been much better if they focused on the fights. I haven't read the manga, but I've read somewhere that the anime was mostly filler -- and that's just sad.<br /><br />I've heard that it does get better in the next season. I'll look into that soon. Yes, Suigintou is an interesting character, but she wasn't really given focus in this season. We only get to really know her by the final episodes.<br /><br />By the way, I followed your blog! I'll check your posts, and I'll add you in my blog roll soon.Arvin Saintshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11875296044665788756noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9060644602857566943.post-43694622679485900302014-03-05T22:15:14.454+08:002014-03-05T22:15:14.454+08:00I agree with you on many points!

Technically it is one, but it's 80% slice of life, I swear. >.< Not that it's necessarily a bad thing for an anime to be slice of life, but it really did ruin the concept they had going here. Anyway, Rozen Maiden does get better in my opinion, and Suigintou actually becomes a very interesting character. In fact, she is my favourite character in Rozen Maiden, and there is some really touching character development regarding her in the second season as well as the OVA.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16182273805714786994noreply@blogger.com
