What is Rozen Maidens and Alice Game?

The "Rozen Maidens are a collections of dolls created by a craftsman Rozen whom the dolls refer to as "Father". Their primary source of power comes from human as "medium" who wears a ring to symbolize his/her bond with the doll. A doll's power can be fully utilized and enhanced when her medium is present.

Alice Game is a lethal competition that promises the winner the right to meet "Father" by earning the title of "Alice", a girl of supreme beauty and perfection whose spirit lives inside of "Father". This Alice Game encompasses duels in which the dolls have to fight each other using their guardian spirits and respective abilities. The doll that loses the duel loses her "Rosa Mystica" and the Rosa Mystica is then absorbed by the duel's winner.

When I watched this anime, the first impression made from this anime is Rozen Maidens. Their face, body, expressions and figure movements are too much for the doll. But I somehow liked them because they look very passionately artistic especially for Shinku. O_O Look at their hair and clothes, those are very detailed illustration included the texture of clothes and lining on those hairs. I wonder how long the artist of Peach-Pit make this illustration. I'm sure they had taken a lot of time to draw them. =D

However, I'm sorry for the dolls. The dolls are very beautiful but why must they take part in deadly Alice Game? Really pity on them! I wonder whether "Father" is really a good person or not. I doubt what is his feeling when he sees the dolls fight each others only for him. If he really loves the doll, he should not establish this Alice Game. Because I believe, no one wanna destroy his own creation or handcrafting, right?

The characters in Rozen Maiden often involve in some incidents of humorous and funny drama! The dolls that for that most part seems to want nothing more than only to drink tea, destroy windows and draw on his floor with crayons. =D Pity on him for being bullied by Shinku. One of the twins, Suiseikei always got furious with the sixth doll, Hinaichigo and ends up bullying her.
