Shinku ｷﾀ━━━━(ﾟ∀ﾟ)━━━━!!!! That slap www Jun’s traumatic past got revealed this time. I don’t quite remember if the original and Traumend revealed it, but it’s interesting to finally know what happened to him.

  So that’s now a quarter of the show down and all we’ve established is that Jun put all his points in being pathetic. Impressions: Here’s a fun riddle for the whole family. What’s worse than just watching Jun continue to be a sullen, moping putz? Flashbacks of Jun being a sullen, moping putz. Good god, Deen. [...]

Rozen Maiden’s new series is weird. Really weird. The first episode was this vague recap that wasn’t a recap. And now the second episode pretty much contained the best transition into an alternative retelling that I’ve ever seen. Seriously, as a Rozen Maiden fan, this just blew me away. I just expected something that started [...]

AkinariHello all! Akinari here, warmly welcoming all of our readers to the first post of our Rozen Maiden joint review series!DMCAnd I'm DMC, "the other SUTORAIKUanime anime reviewer."AkinariThat's a rather humbling title DMC, perhaps we should come up with a new title for you one of these days.DMCIt's certainly better than "that idiot who decided to watch every single new show this season."AkinariI hear you, especially with the number of strangely vague shows this season, there's really quite a large number of genres to dip our toes into.DMCEverything from workplace comedy to today's subject, Rozen Maiden: Zurückspulen (editor's note: German for "rewind").

So the guy in the preview was Jun from the future, huh? But what role does he play in the story? Is he really the creator of Shinku? Or is he creating a replacement for Shinku, who has died somehow in the other timeline? That would be a cool twist. But how is he supposed [...]

It’s like the spam mail you never asked for, only creepier and full of dismembered body parts. This second episode went better than I expected. I thought it would be slower and boring, but they managed to display unwound Jun’s sad life and the Rozen Maiden part without taking too much time on either things. [...]

I refer you to what I said in my previous post; already more excited about this season of Rozen Maiden. After a first episode which left a number of people irritated and/or confused, this week’s episode took us to the beginning of the alternative world in which Rozen Maiden II is set.  If you weren’t … Continue reading »The post Rozen Maiden: Zurückspulen – 02 appeared first on Anime Aura.

Rozen Maiden 02 – Do not wind! Meet grown up, lonely, antisocial Jun...Meet also his other self...What the heck??? http://www.cartoonleap.com/2013/07/rozen-maiden-02-do-not-wind/Rozen Maiden 02 – Do not wind! | Cartoon Leap Anime Blogwww.cartoonleap.comI read somewhere that this week´s episode was boring and with a depressed, emo grown up Jun. Well, I think this episode was really interesting. Time flew too fast watching this. This episode deals with alternate realities, the “what if” kind of story where Jun chose the other path, the “do not wind”...

「TALE 2」 For everyone that thought the first episode was too fast, too rushed, lacking information, confusing and choppy, or just a dump of stuff that happened in 8 volumes, well I'm glad to say that the second episode is not like that.

Well it’s nice that the pacing slowed down from the breakneck speed that the first episode had. Since the recap was over it makes sense that we could relax a little bit here. Did get to see quite the different Jun from the one we met in the first episode. Of course it shows how [...]

It was apparently too soon to assume Rozen Maiden made any sense - it seems it'll be quite a journey before newcomers to the series have any relative understanding of just what exactly they are witnessing.

I loved the original series, but… what were they thinking with this? I don’t see how anyone who doesn’t already know the story could have possibly followed what was going on. I could barely follow it myself. And they completely … Continue reading →

  No thank you. Impressions: How thoroughly unpleasant. Everything that the first episode’s lightning speed recap was, this wasn’t. I don’t even know what kind of twisted mind thinks to itself, "Okay, we’ve got our premise with gothic dolls fighting each other… but what if we didn’t? I mean, what everyone really wants to see [...]
