...then you might like Shugo Chara! add

If your favorite part of Rozen Maiden was the day in the life comedy, then you could potentially enjoy Peach Pit's other work, Shugo Chara. This show stars a young girl named Amu who, over the course of the first three episodes, manages to acquire tiny representations of various aspects of her personality, both current and potential. The show quickly starts to incorporate various magical girl genre staples, including: an evil organization bent on acquiring physical manifestations of spiritual concepts, the main character changing into various cutesy outfits; so as to be able to fire various multicolored attacks in order to defeat said organization, simultaneous crushes on both the older, aloof lone wolf pretty boy; and the younger, nice pseudo-prince pretty boy. The important part of the show however, is the interactions between the characters and their various Charas, as well as the interactions between the Charas themselves, which are very much reminiscent of the interactions that occurred in Rozen Maiden. The only difference between the two is that Shugo Chara, unlike Rozen Maiden, has little action and almost no truly serious drama in it; no one dies, no one gets hurt beyond a few scrapes and bumps, and no one really hates anyone else. To reiterate, if you liked the softer more comedic parts of Rozen Maiden, you'll love Shugo Chara.
