[Anime Review] Rozen Maiden Traumend

Rozen Maiden Traumend

"A bit cheesy ending, but overall better than 1st season" -bezoe

As summer break arrives for the students, Jun Sakurada is busily studying on his own in the library, making up for time lost while he had confined himself to his home. Meanwhile, his Rozen Maiden doll, Shinku, has been having troubling dreams of late. The pain and sadness of defeating Suigintou was overwhelming, despite the inevitable battle they waged. After waking suddenly from a nightmare, she finds Suigintou's companion spirit wandering; upon giving chase, she discovers that the seventh Doll-- Barasuishou-- has awakened. She now realizes that Suigintou's fate may very well befall the other Dolls, for the appearance of the last Doll signals the beginning of the end of the Alice Games.

Finally Alice Games start to get serious in the 2nd season. There are some alliance forming among the dolls and also who will participate in Alice Games and who won't. Plus I love the returning character from 1st season (hint hint), and showing her good side. Story wise, Traumend more serious compare to the 1st season, and the action scene actually getting better. Ending actually kinda cheesy in my opinion, but it still good though.

Animation and Character wise still as good as the 1st season. I still don't like the OP & ED ost by the way.
(update 09-04-08) : I start to like the OP but the ED still so so
If you already watched the 1st season, then you should watch this one. Still won't be my favorite but I recommend to watch.

Overall Rating: A--
Favorite Characters: Same with Season 1 (will post more pic if I can find a good one)
