Has anyone watched this anime? It's about a highschool kid named Jun who one day, through his habit of ordering weird things online, receives a mysterious suitcase that contains a doll in a lavish red dress. Upon following the instructions attached to the package, the doll comes to life, and Jun's life of freedom comes to an end when the doll immediately starts treating him as his personal slave.
The series is heavily inspired by Gothic Lolita fashion, and becomes more evident as more doll-characters appear. The show is serious, quirky, comic, and cute at the same time, and his highly enjoyable. It even has some amazing fight scenes between the dolls.

I watched a bit of this a while back when it first came out and wound up dropping it and several other shows after losing that computer. I remember it was amusing and it is still on my list of shows I need to watch. I agree this is a show heavy in comedy and cuteness but with a nice level of action when they actually get around to fighting.

Yeah the OVA's are Traumend if I remember rightly, the second season being Overture. m I know where to get a torrent of the whole thing the only thing I'm waiting on is hard drive space. Which means I have to sit down and marathon a few gigs of it and delete it or transfer a bunch tot he other pc and burn some dvd's.

Traumend is the 2nd season and Ouverture is the OVA. Hehe you got them mixed up but it's okay :) I have the same problem too. I don't want to delete anime series that I really liked, and I like a lot of them..I could probably free up around 50gigs if I just delete them, but it pains me to do so...

I've only seen one episode (my boyfriend watches too). The characters are cute though especially that pink-dressed one and Shinku.

I've watched both seasons of this anime, and what can I say? I am left hanging. I read on wikipedia that the manga has stopped publishing and in effect, this probably why there is no season 3. I am frustrated because the end of Season 2 has left many loose ends.
