NOMAD sword fetish, you don't see that in the manga. most of the dolls end to use their weapons as swords in he nomad adaptation, not even the likely-st one to use the sword, Boku she uses her shears like shears. not like a sword.

>>24654643
Suigintou best doll, and best girl!!

>>24630656
Hold on, maybe NOMAD gave her a sword for deeper reasons than having her swing around a generic melee weapon for use in action scenes. Think...notice how Gin, the only one who is enthusiastic about the Alice Game, wields the only weapon that's designed to kill. Perhaps NOMAD also gave her a double edged sword to symbolize the duality of her hatred. And, when you hold a sword upright, it becomes an inverted cross...her symbol. Oh, and 中 in 田中理恵 has a striking resemblence to what weapon? A sword. Clearly the sword fits Gin as much as lactobacillus and dragon wings do.

>>24664072

btw the '00s anime was their first anime made by them only if i remember it correctly

>>24673957

Explain the Yakult meme to me.

>>24674893
was a reference in the anime when boku's master tried to strike her and hurt himself, she makes a comment stating that he must be lacking his lactic acid bacteria. from there i assume japan thought it went well with yakult, being lactobacillus casei shirota.

>>24663979
>tousen's suigin

>>24630656
I fucking hate NOMAD's sword shit in retrospect. Gin got a sword, Sou's shears became the stupidest sword, Shinku's cane (which only exists for a few panels in the manga) is ALSO a sword. Even the donut steel got a sword. NOMAD had no creativity so everything became swords.

>>24664072
>Clearly the sword fits Gin as much as lactobacillus and dragon wings do.
Okay I'll bite, how do they fit her? Because they seem just as weird and out of place as the sword.

>>24680471
not, the poster you are replying to, but one is a just a silly meme, like pairing flandre and Ronald Mcdonald, and another is self imported canon by the animation studio. Not even sure if that even answering the question. I feel those things are to completely unrelated things.

Anon, will you wind?

>>24682504
Not him but I agree with you, also, cute suigintou anon.

20 years later and Suigintou is still one of the best 2D characters ever created.

>>24682781
Naturally, she's so beautiful

All I want is some cool new Souseiseki merchandise but a cruel God only offers overpriced acrylic stands. You Ginfags in particular are spoiled with the new Gin figurine and doll coming out in the next year or so

>>24682781

>>24682719
who's asking?

>>24680471
Sorry, I made that post half in jest. Dragon wings were definitely dumb and only made for an awkward Rozen MUGEN boss. They could AT LEAST have been in the form of crow or broken doll heads.

The nyuusankin/lactobacillus thing is, as >>24682504 said, a silly meme. It's related because the quote itself is a product of Tanaka Rie's (brilliant) adlibbing and is therefore also anime-original. While it's hard to imagine where Gin might have heard about it from, it definitely fits her personality and is also a sick burn on old pedo-gramps.

While I don't think the swords are particularly out-of-universe or out-of-character, they're definitely products of a flawed direction. NOMAD took these freedoms in an effort to make the series more action-oriented/shonen and appeal to a wider audience. The manga itself had literally no action (besides SHINKU PUNCH) and was about dolls being mysterious, cute, and occasionally wholesome. NOMAD's mistake was in not realizing this makes for PERFECT animation and compromised quality by going the "safe" route. It also didn't help that the the manga had barely begun when they started producing the anime, which meant they really had no choice but to pull everything out of their asses.

How strong is a hikki-neet's life force that Jun could have at least three Rozens tied to him when some people could barely support 1? Is the power of yuri just not strong enough?

>>24702793
Considering that "the power of yuri" is literally Rozen Maiden 0's ending, I'd say the two are at least equal in strength.

Putting aside jokes, the dolls generally seem to understand when they are drawing too much energy from their masters so they can usually stop before it injures them. Shinku and Suiseiseki spend the most amount of time contracted to Jun and generally seem to be nerfed by it. On multiple cases, there's fights they can easily win but can't because there's not enough energy for both of them. It's a bit more apparent when the two and Souseiseki, who was added to Jun's contracts later on, go looking for him after he goes into a coma and the three make conserving their energy from Jun a high priority. I know Shinku says that a human having more than one contract doesn't make a difference, but it really does seem to.

That, or it's just Suiseiseki's tendency to be low on energy after what feels like half of any time she fights or uses her abilities that might be muddling my analysis.

>>24704525
Well she does have kind of crazy abilities. What was Rozen thinking giving two dolls the ability to manipulate minds and memories? None of the others seem to have any special abilities on that level, except Kira.

>>24698812
She's probably the only character my love for which is platonic, almost religious.

>>24704525
Souseiseki sucks!

>>24706098
another weed to be cut down in its dreams, huh?

>>24705031
That's the thing, I can only think of one case where Souseiseki is low on energy after using her abilities. Granted, it's a scene in a lightnovel where it's pretty justified. Suiseiseki is the one who is low on energy so often which leads me to believe that her abilities in particular are just very power exhausting.

Hey oldfags, it’s sorta on topic but I have a question.
Was Konata Izumi some sort of queen of shitposting back then? I see some horrendous shit whenever I see her or Tsukasa’s names.
Tsukasa was something else entirely but Kona was the last person I expected to see that kind of stuff from.
I cut it down to different eras and atmospheres but I’m not so sure since /a/ and a large part of the site was different back then.

I watched your ancient anime a while back so please respond.

>>24744800
yes

>>24744800
Kira, Sui, or Hina only.

What did Rozen think when he was making a bunch of little girl dolls with rings so they could simulate marrying other people?

>>24745727
please don't associate Rozen Maiden to such nonsense, sad part is most of these "oldfags" dont even care for the series, dont get me wrong there are posters that have been around and love the series, but its insulting to look at RM as "this old thing" there is much more to the series than that.
>>24746748
>What did Rozen think when he was making a bunch of little girl dolls with rings so they could simulate marrying other people?
Good question, one i don't think there is much of an answer for at least from my understanding, perhaps there are others lurking here that may be able to tell you, i dont think peachpit gave much insight to it. or much of anything, but thats just me.

>>24747578
Ah, ok.
I referred to it as such because “oldfags” from my experience range from entitled asshole to an actually a chill person.

>>24747796
its okay friend, I get where you are coming from.

>>24744800
God YES, I want to supply her with my energy.

>>24747578
>i dont think peachpit gave much insight to it. or much of anything
I still don't even understand how they work
-They have doll bodies
-The doll bodies are actually wind up clockwork robots
-They require a soul/piece of rozen's heart/whatever the fuck it is in order to actually inhabit a body
--The bodies are actually interchangeable despite being different sizes and they can turn other bodies into themselves even without clockwork inside them
-They also require a link with a person or another doll to be able to use powers
--However they also wind down as they use their powers anyway
-They are conscious regardless of whether they can move or not as long as their soul is in their body
--But their minds go into the N-field when they sleep (ergo Hina could have just hung out in her sister's dreams instead of being alone in a box for like 60 years)
*wtf does N-field mean?
-They need to sleep in their cases, but not really?
--A psychological thing?
-They actually require food and can feel hunger
-They are anatomically correct despite not releasing waste products, and feel love and desire despite being too small and full of gears to actually be penetrated
-They need fairy assistants because?
-You can actually make a doll come to life even without the mystica or clockwork because platonic love and N-field manipulation?

>>24750628
I've asked many of the same questions, but only a few of them get answered in the manga

there are a few inconsistencies, so I suspect that the magic doesn't have any hard set rules and it's mostly plot driven

i fucking love gin

>>24750628
There's a few issues with this
>-The doll bodies are actually wind up clockwork robots
Kind of, but not really. Their bodies don't possess any physical gears and the wind up key is mostly something of a power on button in practice.
>soul/piece of rozen's heart/whatever the fuck it is
They're pieces of Rozen's soul.
>despite being different sizes
Their bodies are all mostly the same size. Hina and Kanaria might be bit shorter than the rest though, but not by much. Clockwork I already covered.
>--But their minds go into the N-field when they sleep (ergo Hina could have just hung out in her sister's dreams instead of being alone in a box for like 60 years)
Their conscious goes to the Dreamworld when they sleep. If they wind down it doesn't seem that their conscious goes anywhere, their artificial spirits are the ones who locate their new masters after all. When they die their conscious goes into the N-field, specifically the Sea of Unconsciousness. The Dreamworld and the N-field are separate things.
>-They need to sleep in their cases, but not really?
They actually do. In RM0 it's mentioned that they can lose memories if they do not sleep in their cases for a while. In the original manga it's also mentioned that regularly sleeping in their case is how they create new rings of contract.
>-They actually require food and can feel hunger
I don't get this either but it seems like an alternative source of energy for them at points.
>despite being too small and full of gears to actually be penetrated
Clockwork was covered but in this case I heavily doubt they have any holes down there. Real life female BJDs will sometimes have the faint impression of labia, which is the case of Rozen Maiden, or a small and usually not freehanging dick in the case of male dolls.
>-They need fairy assistants because?
Reading Tale 57 Rozen probably created them to help the dolls during the upcoming Alice Game, which they mostly help with locating new masters. To be fair, they're not all that useful and Peach-Pit even tends to forget that they exist sometimes.
>-You can actually make a doll come to life even without the mystica or clockwork because platonic love and N-field manipulation?
In NOMAD anime canon, yes. In manga, not really? Tefuko's case in the manga is weird. Since the reason she came alive was due to Rozen's fuckery and she was unable to stay alive indefinitely because she wasn't a Rozen Maiden with a Rosa Mystica, it might just be that you need to be on his insane level of skill to get a doll moving.

>>24754140

>>24754413

On that post? That's Tefuko. The artist just shaded her hair very lightly for some reason.

>>24754569
Oh I see that, now I understand why she has no wings in that pic, anyway, thanks anon for answering the questions.

>>24754632
It's all good

>>24754140
>I heavily doubt they have any holes down there
Nori was fucking convinced that Shinku was a fuck doll at first though. I highly doubt she made that assumption without looking at her in detail. Besides that, their bodies become functionally real having real feeling skin and being able to eat things. Just having a mouth hole become real seems particular. They've also been shown to have nipples which is kind of weird for dolls that don't have those big add on breasts.

>>24755026
>I highly doubt she made that assumption without looking at her in detail.
But she did? They open the case up and 2 seconds later Nori just assumes that after a single look. You can't see anything down there with Shinku all clothed up.
> They've also been shown to have nipples which is kind of weird for dolls that don't have those big add on breasts.
They're really tiny to the point Peach-Pit doesn't even usually draw them. It's also not uncommon on real BJDs to have these tiny nipples.

>>24787114
they also sometimes forget the wings on gin

>>24787209
On that note, I still can't believe the PS3/Vita visual novel completely forgot to draw her wings for literally all of these unique background sprites. Weird because they're there on her talking sprites but not on these ones

You don't need to become Alice when you're already perfect. Gin will always be relevant.

That or Boatlights-chan

>>24881358
According to this (https://www.instagram.com/p/CCyTx_9JR5X/)) they're making 5 of the 7 dolls, so Souseiseki is very likely to be made

bump(y road)

>>24881410
I'm guessing Hina-Ichigo is getting the shaft. So who else is not getting made, Kiraikishou, or Kanaria? Suigintou is already confirmed, and Sui and Souseiseki are almost guaranteed.

a classic

>>24903231
Hina is one of the more popular rms in japan, i'd say she'd get a doll. At a guess DOLK would make the following dolls:

- shinku
- gin (duh)
- desu
- hina
- kira

The reason for Kira is because she has things that a doll collector would want. I'd rather have Kanaria, but there are people who would stab their own parents to get a sou doll

>>24903231
>>24910906
Going off of which dolls got into the mobile game collabs over the years and who's been getting merch in particular, I think it's safe to say that the twins will be made. They are usually the dolls to get content after Shinku and Suigintou. In recent mobile game collabs, they and Shinku/Gin have been consistently grouped together. Gothic Magical Maiden's first RM collab added Shinku, Suigintou, Suiseiseki, Souseiseki, and Kirakishou (Kanaria and Hina were added in the second collab). The Kurokishi collab only added Shinku, Suigintou, Suiseiseki, and Souseiseki; which are also the same dolls who got into Yomecolle back in the day. As far as merchandise goes, it's again in the favor of these 4. The merch Supergroupies and Favorite made both only included Shinku, Gin, Sui, and Sou.

How I see the doll lineup going is after Shinku and Suigintou we'll get Suiseiseki and Souseiseki. The final doll might be Kira or Hina because I don't see Kanaria being made unless they do every doll. I'm more inclined to think that they'll do Kira as the 5th doll because her popularity seems to be the highest among the Japanese right now between the dolls left over.

Rozen Maiden wasn't canceled, there was some sort of problem between Peach Pit and the publisher, Gentosha, that resulted in Peach Pit moving Rozen Maiden to Shueisha. I don't think the details of what happened have ever been elaborated on.

>>25039180
Like all of he Rozen Maidens, her name translates to something specific.

Fun fact, because Suigintou means mercury lamp, searching 水銀燈 on Japanese sites also brings up mercury vapor light bulbs.

The rest:
Kanaria - Canary(easy)
Suiseiseki - Jade Stone
Shinku - Crimson
Hina-Ichigo - Small berry

The thing's called "Healthy Gin" I'd repost some of it here, but it's mostly NSFW and i don't know how to spoiler, so I'll abstain

Because she's maidenly thug

Would anyone be so kind to post some Nazi Gin? The only two I have, have already been posted

>>25537939
but why it exists

>>25538559
Because people(me included) like Gin and people(me included) like big titties, why not combine it? Plus she IS the oldest sister, accordingly she would be the most well-endowed of them if they were human.

Not quite, that is Lampegarde Gin. though definitely inspired in some respects. Pic related is pretty edgy though, not going to lie.

I've been aware of Rozen Maiden for a very, very long time, but decided to finally get into it just a few weeks ago because of this thread. Thank you, OP and the other two remaining RM fans.
