Rozen Maiden: träumend (Special Review)

January 26th, 2006 by Gunlex

This review is the first out of a series of special reviews I will be doing over time. Basically these will be one-shot reviews on entire series. In other words, these special reviews are for series I should have reviewed normally.

Anyone who watched this series knows this is the second season of “Rozen Maiden”. Personally, I enjoyed the second season a lot more than the first season. In terms of music, I’m glad they kept some of the BGMs from the first season because I thought it had exceptional BGMs. A couple of the new BGMs were good too. I found the humour in season two to be better. The humour was definately cuter than the first season. They were able to incorporate drama pretty nicely too. One of the best episodes this season was without a doubt episode 10. Hinaichigo’s final scene was done really well in my opinion.

As for the last episode I thought it had both good and bad parts. I think the ending could have been better than it was. It seems quite likely there will be a third season eventually. I haven’t read any confirmation that season three is already being planned, but season two’s ending would be a horrible way to end the entire series. I thoroughly enjoyed the fight between Shinku and Barasuishou. It was pretty cool seeing them use the powers of the other dolls. Too bad it was such a short scene. Many of the questions from the first episode of this season were answered in this episode, but there are still a few unresolved issues. I can only hope they will release a third season. This is one of the series I would recommend to most people. It pretty much has something for everyone.
