Reading Rozen Maiden for the first time. Finished the 1st volume of the collector's edition and love it so far. What are your thoughts on it?

Rare case where both are good for their own reasons. The anime does its own thing but still decent enough to watch. Manga if you want more and see how it ends. I'd say start with the anime first just to see if you like it since its short. Then move to the manga.

I've been reading it after finally watching Zuruckspulen.
The first chapters are a bit weird, as you see they were still testing stuff, and some of it go somewhat retconned.
Stuff really starts to pick up after the second volume, I'm sure you'll like it.

It's complicated to compare it to Nomad's anime: It did cut a ton of stuff that Zuruckspulen had to then reintroduce via flashbacks and the sort, but I also feel that, similar to Emma, it expanded a ton of stuff, like Jun's feelings of guilt towards his sister as well as the character of Suigintou.

One of the negative changes was pigeon-holing Suigintou in that dumb trope of "I can defeat you right now, but I wont because... just because, OK?" (Fate/stay night had that a lot), while in the manga she only leaves when she feels she's at a disadvantage somewhat.

That wasn't the only negative change regarding Suigintou, far from it.

Yeah, in part because I'm a bit conflicted in the idea.
I enjoy changes such as making her "broken", the entirety of Ouverture and the change in context for her getting called "junk" (Which in the original was just common trash talk from Shinku) as well as the whole arc of Shinku asking her for forgiveness.

But I also dislike those more practical changes I've mentioned.

>jun was handed down the secrets to making a rosa mystica by rozen himself before he became one with the force in the end of the manga.

Bros how do we tell them thats not how it works?
If that were the case than any famous name brand around for any period of time wouldn't work because someone was named differently and took over the company from the original owner at some point. Its not about who made it, its about the process and brand.

Enju maidens were made using different techniques than the Rozen maidens and were generally inferior due to not holding real fragments of souls. Its unknown what Enju used to bring Bara to life but her body could not handle a human soul and collapsed in on itself. Combat potential does not equal "better" because the dolls were meant to be alice first and foremost and Laplace's demonic deal with Rozen is probably where the doll joint gladiator bs of the alice game came from.

Bara also couldn't handle Kirakishou briefly possessing her while Souseiseki was completely conscious and able to come back to their senses.

I think that the original manga (pre-tales) was enjoyable but quite confusing to read at times.
I thoroughly enjoyed the Nomad anime and is to this day one of, if not my favourite anime out of all that I've seen despite being half fanfiction and ending on a cliffhanger.
The Tales manga was great, specially the Unwound Jun arc.
The Deen anime had an abysmal first episode and the second half of the last episode basically yelled "read the manga" to the viewer, but other than that it was pretty good.
I haven't finished Zero yet.

Are they going to actually finish the story at some point?

I disagree. Did you read it in Japanese or English? If you read it in English, have you checked the new translation?

Yeah the DEEN anime really fumbles the first episode pretty much only because it's forced to start off with trying to explain what happens before Adult Jun is introduced. It would work much better if it skipped to Adult Jun immediately and introduced Young Jun as a thing afterward.

I think it's already implied she's back in action by the time of the 15th anniversary if it's canon given that Kirakishou is also back in action alongside her.

Kind of, but not really. The main story has concluded, I guess.
