If your pinkies aren't ready by now, then you're falling behind here. The week is over and there's nothing better than sitting down with your honored doll guests for a spot of tea and a bit of anime. Rozen Maiden makes it's debut today on the site, with a full English dub and a nice HD option.
This show about living dolls is more than meets the eye, with a darker tone the further you watch and a bizarre story rife with magic and drama that's sure to keep you coming back. You'll get introduced to a number of Shinku's friends, one of which is responsible for one of the older internet meme's that I can remember. You'll know which one. For more on the show, check out our description below:
Rozen Maiden
Bo ys aren’t supposed to play with dolls… But what happens when the dolls start playing with the boys? Remember those nightmares you had as a child, where your toys came to life? That’s the reality Jun Sakurada suddenly finds himself in when Shinku arrives in a box. Get ready for a whole new kind of ‘guys and dolls’ in ROZEN MAIDEN!
Rozen Maiden ep. 1 - Fraulein Rose is now available on our player, English dubbed and in HD. Enjoy!
