Rozen Maiden Traumend: Volume 2 [DVD]

This second DVD for the `Rozen Maiden: Trämend' anime contains the final six episodes of this entertaining series. With all seven of the Rozen Maiden dolls now present once again, the Alice Game can begin in earnest. Barasuishou uses psychological tricks to spur the other dolls into action and as a result, the final battle will now begin.This DVD is a great end to the `Rozen Maiden: Trämend' series as it is both compulsive to watch and extremely sad in places. The tone of the episodes in this volume is far more uniform as, after some nicely humorous moments, the show gets progressively darker and sadder as it goes on. The animation and the English dub remain very good and the storyline is interesting as well, even if it does deviate from the original manga storyline.Both the original `Rozen Maiden' series and this sequel series have been extremely enjoyable to watch, being at times both sad and funny. After watching this series I will certainly be looking to read the manga.

This second volume of the Rozen Maiden anime contains the final six episodes of the shows first season and they are all much better than the first half of the series. The first episode sees Jun try to repair the damaged Shinku. Once this is over the next two episodes focus on Suiseiseki and her twin sister Souseiseki as they deal with Souseiseki's master and the manipulative Suigintou. The final three episodes deal with Shinku and Suigintou's final confrontation.This volume sees a nice improvement of the series with six very good episodes that are exciting and surprisingly emotional. The comedy is somewhat curtailed in this volume but on the other hand the action has been significantly increased. The season finale is also very good and Suigintou's final fate is brilliantly well done and quite sad. Rozen Maiden has turned into a great series and I am very much looking forward to the next season `Rozen Maiden: Träumend'.

This DVD contains the last six episodes of Rozen Maiden Traumend(season 2). You can choose between english dubbed and japanese with english subtitles. The the product details says that it's suitable for 15 years and older, but the dvd cover says 12 years. I don't know which of them that is the right age.My dvd came in good condition, and was wrapped in clear plastic (just like any other dvd you would buy from a store)Rozen Maiden is really a good anime with an amazing story. I really reccomend this to others(you'll have to watch season one and the first part of season two first, though)
