@Kei:
loved the first series, thought Traumend was medicore. Luckilly, Overture mostly made up for Traumend's faults.
Really? I thought the exact opposite. The first series had too little plot and too much chibi crack. Not that I don't love the chibi crack, but Rozen Maiden /has/ a dark side _, which almost went unnoticed with all the episodes spent on the main cast being happy and drinking tea and watching puppet shows on TV together.
I really just thought that Barasuishou was one of the lamest, poorly written villians in any anime I've seen. The rest of the cast is gold in my eyes though.
I don't really mind her. That's the kind of character she was meant to be - an empty shell with no personality who bends to her creator's will. Even though he loved her, she was nothing more than a tool created so that he could surpass Rozen. I really did like Enju though, and Shirosaki was way cool. I find it a shame they're all fillers, really.
What's your favorite character?~_
