| 3 | Gin-sama siezes the lead role! |
| 4 | Rozen Maiden - Ouvertüre Anime Special Edition, currently in production [Staff and cast credits: translation omitted; appears to be much the same people as for the TV series] |
| 5 | Declaration by the staff! Shin’ichi Nakamura (Producer): Suigintou is cool at first glance, but she is extremely passionate and more deeply loving than anyone. Due to the sadness of the destiny she bears upon her back, our hearts will be affected all the more. As to what sort of existence she led, the stage is set long ago in 19th century |

Shinku and the others are in the OP as well! |
| 7 | Will the light shine upon Suigintou, who lives for the darkness? |
| 8 | In the OP this time as well, Suigintou confronts Shinku. Perhaps we’ll be able to see the first battle between the two of them?! |
| 9 | The normally solitary Suigintou, in thrall to her hatred. Will the reason she became that way finally come to light? |
| 10 | It is sad, but you can see that when Suigintou fights is when she is most lively and carefree. |

With rose petals
fluttering about her, Shinku is the the one to whom the name Rozen Maiden is
most fitting. |

It’s easy to forget
about them, but these two are also fine and proud Rozen Maidens. |
| 13 |
Since this time the
title is “Prelude”, will we get to have a reunion with Souseiseki (bottom) who
had lost her Rosa Mystica?! |
| 14 | Message from the Diva: ALI PROJECT (Singer of the Theme): Since Suigintou has the lead role this time, I thought I’d like to make the song about “the ferocity that dwells within the silence of the dark”. Suigintou appears cold, but that is probably because of the pain and wretchedness she holds in her heart. I think the truth is that she is a pure and serious girl. Doesn’t everyone have within them qualities of both Shinku and Suigintou? With these thoughts, I created a theme song with an atmosphere different from that of “Forbidden Play” and “Holy Girl’s Territory”. Please look forward to our work. |

The popular Rozen
Maiden, a story written about the tough battles and everyday routines of sweet
and heroic dolls. Among those Rozen Maidens, the one to whom fans throng
enthusiastically is the first doll “Gin-sama”, Suigintou. Of all the dolls, she
is the one most fervently seeking victory in the Alice Game, and she ends up
defeated respectively by Shinku in the first season and by Barasuishou in the
second season. Although Gin-sama is made out to be the chronic loser, it has been
decided that this winter she will return in the starring role of the Special
Edition! This time the subtitle “Ouvertüre” has been attached, which in German musical jargon means “Prelude”. As the word indicates, this is written as a prelude to the story of the Rozen Maidens that has been unfolded up until now. The fans’ spirits are sure to be gripped by the appearance of Suigintou before she became fanatical in her hatred and before her destiny became trifled with. In order that our blood pressure doesn’t rise too high, let’s buy some lactic acid bacteria and await the production! |
