Something Like Human
by Panadero - December 5, 2009 2:17:00 PM MSTThis fine winter afternoon we have two series which deal with artificial humans with souls. In the first case, that of the Saber Marionette franchise - consisting of Saber Marionette R, Saber Marionette J, Saber Marionette J Again, and Saber Marionette J to X - the characters in question are mechanical and have mechanically-derived souls. In the case of the Rozen Maiden franchise - consisting of Rozen Maiden, Rozen Maiden Traumend, and Rozen Maiden Ouverture - the characters in question are more magically-inclined with magical souls. In both cases, you're dealing with excellent series. Saber Marionette is a classic example of great 90s anime with action, comedy, and Megumi Hayashibara. Rozen Maiden is a modern classic with dolls I actually don't find creepy and a surprisingly good mix of action and drama. Between them there are 21 more girls that need your votes, so get cracking!
