mina san! we meet again~ hahaha....

so...back for another one of my blog posts? thanks for the support ne~ ano sa ano sa...i wonder what will i be blogging about today...hmmm....any ideas? >.<"

its about an anime that i find very very interesting...ローゼンメイデン !!!!

*ahem* before reading on...i wanna point out that im splitting this review into 2 parts...this is part one... XD.....

ne ne....ローゼンメイデン is Rozen Maiden...ne~! i suppose most of you out there know what is Rozen Maiden gua...hmmm...maybe not also....

in any case, here is a little pic to show the characters you can find in the anime :

haha, super kawaii ne?

ok ok...lets touch on the anime a bit ne~

The anime Rozen Maiden actually originated from the popular manga by the artist group Peach-Pit. Simply put, the story of Rozen Maiden revolves around this boy named Jun Sakurada who is "in debt" to a magical doll called Shinku. Throughout the anime, Jun experiences comical and embarassing situations with the other Rozen Maiden dolls that actually bring him back to the "real" world that he shut himself out of, letting him understand that there is more to life than just being alone.

Ano sa....from what i can gather, to explain the plot in more detail would be like this ne :
One day, Jun Sakurada (a boy who usually locks himself in his room and spends his time ordering supernatural "toys" to entertain himself with) receives a letter which asks wether he "accept"s or "not accept", and also states that after he has made the decision, the letter should be placed in the drawer of his desk where a spirit being will take it to the destination.

Although his skepticism and second thoughts, Jun still decides to accept the invitation letter and follows each of the instructions carefully, where soon after the letter magivally disappears....and what happens after that????

....a wooden box suddenly appears in his room...

curious, Jun opens the box and finds a gothic dressed doll with yellow bouncy hair. winding the doll up out of curiosity, Jun finds that the doll is able to move on its own, and slowly stands on its own and faces Jun. Opening its eyes, the doll announces "Shinku, the 5th Rozen Maiden doll"...

Shinku is a doll from the unique "Rozen Maiden" collection, and before Jun can fully comprehend the weight of his new situation, a stuffed clown plush doll attacks. Shinku promises that she will save Jun's life, but only if he will vow to serve her. Thus, Jun becomes entrusted with the responsibility of protecting Shinku's "Rosa Mystica" whilst she is engaged in a centuries old fight called throughout the series as "Alice Game" ,with the other Rozen Maiden dolls for the title of "Alice" so that they can meet "Father" (the person who created the original Rozen Maidens).

As you can probably derive from the ackward relationship between Jun and Shinku, there must be some sort of "agreement" or "contract" which might appear in the anime. indeed, according to the anime, the Rozen Maiden dolls get their power from human hosts or "servants" (according to what Shinku calls Jun), and in this case Jun Sakurada is the "medium" for Shinku.

now...lets consider a very very important question...Why do the Rozen Maidens exist and why do they need mediums?

nyoro~ XD....ano ne...because as i probably hinted earlier, the Rozen Maidens were created to participate in a competition named as the "Alice Game" so that the winner can meet the creator and be transformed into the most beautiful girl in the world. Although it sounds very amusing, since u have a bunch of dolls fight each other to gain one goal, in reality it is something that is extremely sad to think about....

why?.....because....all the Rozen Maidens are sisters, and to meet their "Father", they have to end up killing one another...it is a really sad fact considering the relationships that they develop.

how would you feel if you had to kill your own siblings just to meet someone? doesnt feel good particularly now does it? >.<" ..........and of course, as any pvc plastic lover would do...i ordered a Shinku PVC

XD.... kawaii-pics :

XD ~~~ dammit Shinku is super kawaii~~~


gyahahaha....i cant wait till it arrives, i told MoMo Toys's Ben to put this on first priority for my imports...gyahahaa *evil laugh*
