Rozen Maiden Rozen Maiden (2013) - Review Rozen Maiden is probably one of the few cases where you shouldn't judge the anime by its first episode. It had the misfortune to start with a "recap" episode, even though it was technically a redoing of the series. So even with bad beginnings, it quickly recovered from the slight stumble...
