History YMMV / RozenMaiden

* EvilIsSexy:
** Suigintou.
** Kirakishou as well, for those who are into [[{{Yandere}} that kind of thing]].

* DistaffCounterpart: Take ''Manga/ZatchBell''. Switch demon children for cursed dolls. Switch Spellbook for Rosa Mystica. Switch 'become king' for 'become Alice'. Switch 'teen genius' for 'teen loser'. Notice a pattern yet? Be ready for serious mamodo deja vu, if you plan on watching this.

* VillainousCrush: Kirakishou and [[spoiler:adult Jun]], to the point where she even shows textbook signs of {{yandere}} for him. She attempts to torture him into choosing to be her master instead of Shinku's or Suingintou's, and then tries yet another ForcedKiss on him in a way of physically forcing him to make a contract with her (her ring was ''on her tongue''). And as if that's not bad enough, just a few seconds before, she licks and sucks on his finger in a way that's clearly meant to simulate oral sex while saying she 'wants him.' And the clincher? [[spoiler:She goes into a complete VillainousBreakdown when Adult Jun says, in no uncertain terms, that he wants nothing to do with her, causing her usually cool and 'cute' demeanor to devolve into hysterical screaming with her vines flailing all over the place.]] And she wonders why everyone she actually ''does'' want to like her can't run away from her fast enough.

* DiscreditedMeme: Suiseiseki ending most of her statements with "desu" was interpreted by Western fans as a funny VerbalTic, which led to {{Stupid Statement Dance Mix}}es of her just saying "DESU" over and over, but it is actually a standard Japanese copula that makes a statement more polite.[[note]]However, most people will say it with the "u" quickly clipped off at the end, so it typically sounds more like "des"; pronouncing it as written and using it as much as Suiseiseki does is still unusual enough to qualify as a VerbalTic.[[/note]] As the OccidentalOtaku community became more familiar with Japanese grammar in general, the meme quickly fell out of favor.

* FunnyAneurysmMoment: Kanaria calls Barasuishou "Bara Bara", which is Japanese for "break apart". [[spoiler:She dies by having her body completely torn apart]].

** If you haven't already noticed, "[[http://web.archive.org/web/20080222224241/http://desudesudesu.net/ DESU!]]", ''desu.'' Suiseiseki's VerbalTic is widely known to be one of the earliest (if not the earliest ''period'') anime memes to gain popularity on the global internet, with "desu" spam being recorded on various forums and imageboards around 2004 when the first anime was airing. The meme is also fondly remembered for being the first to widely spread thanks to the shenanigans of ''Website/FourChan'', a solid two years before the website got it's infamy as a [[{{Troll}} troll]] breeding ground cemented.

* EveryoneIsJesusInPurgatory: This is basically the plot in a nutshell: A [[PhysicalGod deific]] father figure creates seven [[LivingToy children]] and then [[HaveYouSeenMyGod vanishes]], leaving them to fight over the vague promise of his love and physical [[BecomeARealBoy perfection]].

* TheScrappy:
** Megu is seen by many as an extremely callous and manipulative bitch. This really started after it was revealed that [[spoiler:she was working with Kirakishou by her own free will because Suigintou keep her promise to kill her, her [[BreakThemByTalking speech to Jun about how he's worthless,]] attempting to break Tomoe as well by guilt tripping her over the death of Hinaichigo (which she had no control over), and her generally awful treatment to her nurses before she even left the hospital.]]
