Rozen Maiden: Träumend English Sub & Dub

About Rozen Maiden: Träumend

Here is what Rozen Maiden: Träumend is about, retold in plain terms: an action, comedy and seinen anime by Nomad (2005). In short: As the story of Rozen Maiden closes, a new chapter begins in Rozen Maiden: Träumend. Shinku and the other sentient dolls of the Rozen Maiden collection are living life as usual at Jun Sakurada's house.

Another thread: Having settled into his role as Shinku's partner in the deadly Alice Game, Jun overcomes his former fears and prepares to return to school. Although Shinku and the other dolls idly pass the days by in the comfort of Jun's home, dark times lie ahead as a new foe presents herself: Barasuishou, the seventh Rozen Maiden. Barasuishou is a mystery even to her sisters, none of whom have ever laid eyes on her until now.

In an action series like this, fight choreography, pacing and sound design carry much of the weight. Think of it as a pick for viewers who like fast, high-impact fights.
