Summary:
Due to a deep trauma at school Sakurada Jun has refused to return. He spends his time in his room, surfing the web and ordering anything that takes his fancy, only to return the items just before payment is due. One day, he finds a web site that tells him to put his order in a drawer of his desk. He does so thinking it to be a joke, only to find that the letter disappears and a strange package arrives soon afterwards. It contains an exquisite doll, that, when wound, comes to life. She treats him as a servant of little worth, but over time helps him come to grips with his fears and in the life-or-death fights that soon follow her arrival.
This show was actually very good. It started out kinda slow, well with the story, but there was a lotta humor that kept the entertainment value up. No matter how many times Jun, who is the main character, got hit in the face with a suitcase I always managed to laugh. Once the story gets going, it gets really interesting. The story itself is about dolls, called Rozen Maiden, who all battle each other to become Alice, which is kinda like a queen. Although most of the dolls are friends so I'm not sure how it's going to play out in the second season (read more)

Although most of the dolls are friends so I'm not sure how it's going to play out in the second season as far as one of the dolls becoming Alice. Towards the end of the series they up the ante up with the action and the battles between the dolls is pretty intense. I really liked the character design for all the dolls, especially for the villian, Suigintou, she looked really cool. Only thing I didn't like about the show was the main character, Jun, he was really annoying at the start of the series, but eventually he got better. I recommend watching this show for anybody who enjoys a little comedy with some good action scenes. (show less)

Entertaining, but there's nothing more to it.

It is a bit childish and annoying at times. But I like the characters designs. That's about all I can say here.
