When the show started and the initial mysterious footage was done, I was presented with a girl who had to turn down an invitation to go play sports because she had to take care of her brother, who wasn't "feeling well", according to her. I guess one of the main characters and his general attitude is the reason for that. Still, it took at least two episodes for me to get into it. It all lends the show much of its atmosphere. As the show progresses, the viewers are presented to a lot of different characters and it uses various alternate worlds, some of them made up of human beings' inner psyches to give said worlds their frameworks. Rozen Maiden's charm is that it plays out like a good, old-fashioned somewhat gothic horror, though with some action elements thrown in for good measure. well, you can see where this is going, I assume? I eventually gave in, though, and watched an episode. well, creepy for the wrong reasons instead of the right ones, looking from a horror genre perspective. Maybe it was because the show looked a tad. Maybe the thing with the dolls would be a reason. Rozen Maiden is another one of those shows I've been avoiding for the longest time. The two are at odds from the start, but the appearance of other dolls and mentions about something called the "Alice game" eventually makes them put their heads together to solve this mystery. Then, one day, he replies to a rather odd request and finds himself with an unusual doll come to life in Shinku. Instead, he spends all his time at his room, ordering various stuff over the internet and bitches at his sister whenever he feels like it. Sakurada Jun is a young boy who, due to something that happened to him at school, refuses to return. The character of Sakurada Jun can be seen as an example of a hikikomori, someone who shuts himself or herself off from the outside world.
