The second season appeared a year later; it was subtitled Träumend (トロイメント, toroimento, German for "dreaming"), and ran from 20 October 2005 to 5 January 2006.
In 2006, a two-episode special titled Ouvertüre (オーベルテューレ, ōberutyūre, German for "overture") was aired on December 22 and 23, further expanding on the background of the characters.
The other two DVDs, Revival and The Alice Game, were supposed to come out in December of that year, but were delayed because of the announcement that Geneon USA had decided to cancel its North American releases starting September 2007.
[citation needed] In 2011, the North American anime licensor Sentai Filmworks re-licensed both seasons of Rozen Maiden, as well as the special Ouvertüre.
[citation needed] A third season titled Rozen Maiden Zurückspulen was produced by Studio Deen and directed by Mamoru Hatakeyama.
