About Rozen Maiden:
Jun was in the second grade of junior high, but he dropped out of school because he had problems socializing with his classmates. So he quit school, Jun refused to go out, and now spends all his time at home shopping on the internet for weird things, only to return the items just before payment is due. One day, he found a web site that told him to put his order in a drawer of his desk. He does so as a joke, only to find that the letter disappears and a strange suitcase appears in his room soon afterwards. It contains a doll that when wound, comes to life. She orders Jun about and makes him her servant. Which is where the fun begins.
About Appleseed:
