2. I split the Party into two parts — Essential and Extended. Assuming you want to get this shit over with quickly, just go with the Essential choices. I picked these to be the most representative lines in the releases. But if you’re one of those people who want more comparisons to help you come to a decision, go with the Essential choices and the Extended ones.

3. If you didn’t like any of the lines, choose the “N/A” option. The results for “N/A” won’t be automatically tabulated, so you’ll have to do the math in your head. Have my gomens and nasais.

4. A “>” indicates that another character has begun speaking. If there are three characters in a line comparison, I will indicate the third with a “>>” and so on for more characters.

5. Group order is randomized for each screenshot, every time you refresh the page. However, the “N/A” option will always appear at the bottom of the screen.

6. Your results will be summed up when you click the “Get your results” button. Feel free to vote in the poll at the end/post in the comments to let others know how you did and to compare your results with them.

7. Party hard.

Rozen Maiden (2013) 02

Aidoru :: There are seven dolls of the Rozen Maiden. Seven sisters…
We were created from one of the seven pieces of the Rosa Mystica.
Each one of us is a seventh of the whole.
And us pieces must return to form the whole once more.
That’s why we fight.
To be reborn as Alice, the girl of Father’s dreams.

Asenshi :: The Rosa Mystica has originally been a whole,
but it was broken up into seven fragments and those were reworked into dolls.
Each received a seventh of the Rosa Mystica.
However, the seven fragments have to be reunited again.
Which is why we fight.
So that we can be reborn as Alice,
as our dear father’s long-held dream of a maiden.

EveTaku :: There are seven Rozen Maiden dolls…
Seven sisters.
We were created with seven fragments of one Rosa Mystica,
so each of us are only one-seventh of a whole.
The seven parts must once again be made whole.
That’s the reason for which we fight.
So that Father’s dream of birthing the perfect girl, Alice, can be realized.

HorribleSubs :: There are a total of seven Rozen Maiden Dolls. Seven sisters.
Seven sisters.
Each doll is made of one of
seven pieces of a shattered Rosa Mystica…
…so each one of us is one seventh.
Each of seven pieces must return to the whole…
…so we must fight.
We fight, so we may hatch into our father’s dream girl, Alice.

uyA :: There are seven Rozen Maiden dolls.
Seven sisters.
Seven dolls, each with a fragment of a single Rosa Mystica.
Each is simply one part of seven.
And someday, those seven parts must become one again.
That is why we fight.
To become Alice–the girl Father dreams of.

Aidoru :: When Suiseiseki awoke, Souseiseki was already tricked into making a contract with that bad human!
We were always together until then…
But I said “no, I don’t want that!”

Asenshi :: As I woke up,
Souseiseki had already formed a contract, guilefully deceived by that horrible human!{join with above}
We were inseparable until then, doing everything in unison.
Which was why I said I didn’t want to.

EveTaku :: By the time I woke up, Souseiseki had already been tricked by that evil human
into forming a contract with him!
We were always together no matter what,
so I told her I didn’t want to do it!

HorribleSubs :: When I awoke, Souseiseki had been
tricked by that bad human…
…into forming a contract with him.
I don’t know what happened…

Aidoru :: Pizzicato.
I’ve finally found them, I think.
Shinku and Suiseiseki aren’t formidable foes, I think.
I’ll get two pieces of the Rosa Mystica at once, I think!

Asenshi :: Pizzicato,
we’ve finally, {\i1}finally{\i0} tracked them down, or haven’t we?
There is no need to fear Shinku and Suiseiseki, or is there?
With this, we’ll be able to get two Rosa Mystica at once, or won’t we?

EveTaku :: Pizzicato,
have I… have I finally found them?
Do I see Shinku and Suiseiseki together?
Does this mean that I can get two Rosa Mystica at once?

HorribleSubs :: Pizzicato!
Have we really, finally found them?
Perhaps Shinku and Suiseiseki nothing to fear after all!
Perhaps I will end up possessing not one,
but two Rosa Mystica all at once!

uyA :: Pizzicato!
I finally, finally tracked them down!
Shinku and Suiseiseki just aren’t cautious enough.

Aidoru :: The seventh doll does not have a physical presence.
Yet I cannot reach Alice. So…
I will compensate for my shortcomings and become the best Maiden.

Asenshi :: The seventh doll has no physical body of her own.
But she still falls short of becoming Alice.
Which is why…
I will put myself inside another.
I’m to become a supreme maiden.

EveTaku :: The seventh doll doesn’t have a physical body.
But, even so, she cannot become Alice.
That’s why…
I’m going to find what I’m missing and become the perfect girl.

HorribleSubs :: As Doll No.7, I have no physical body.
Yet I am still unable to attain Alice.
