  That’s why the don’t get wet. Impressions: In a true triumph of the American legal system, I didn’t have to report for jury duty after all. Nobody in my pool did, which is a little unsettling when you think about it. Or maybe it was just the automated recording message insisting in the strongest of tones: […]

Alright, maybe I was a bit too harsh with Rozen Maiden after all. After the bashing I gave it the other day in its First Impressions, it has since fought back with enigmatic mysteries, great animation and a unique protagonist. So, did anybody expect the alternate reality twist? I didn’t read or watch the original [...] Related posts: Rozen Maiden 2013 [First Impressions] Zabi versus the summer: Uchouten Kazoku, Gifuu Doudou and Rozen Maiden Fantasista Doll [First Impressions]

So…Suigintou has made her entrance. Looks like she’s equally opposing Kirakishou to save some sort of love interest. We still don’t know what exactly they’re supposed to do yet, though…which is actually pretty frustrating for me. I mean, I enjoy watching Shinku get owned by a newspaper as much as the next guy, but stuff […]

It’s a damn nice thing that Suigintou has returned to the series. Although some Shinku focus is good as is the character development for Jun. Still this series is called Rozen Maiden and therefore we could stand to see some of the dolls. Of course helps that I think Suigintou is an awesome character so [...]

Then there were 3 Yay this episode did not disappoint! I loved all the lighting they did for the scenes too. It was really noticeable in the flashbacks and a lot more interesting than having two characters talk in a well lit room for half an episode. Sisters indeed. So when I said that you […]

Rozen Maiden centers on Suigintou - making sense of this doll supreme in gothic lolita wardrobe, whilst also allowing for the other affairs to tarry on a bit, and a day to pass with six now remaining.

Suigintou finally makes her real appearance in Zuruckspulen…. and we get treated to a flashback of her and Megu meeting each other. I suppose that’s fine, since we never really got much of Megu in the earlier productions. But damn, Megu is really…. broken. I think I much prefer this version of Suigintou too. The [...]

  Boy, that wasn’t subtle at all. Impressions: This is basically what I use to pass the time until Symphogear since it airs too damn late. The first half was pretty much as awful as usual. Even when Suigin and Shinku finally ran into each other, they then cut away for three minutes of Jun [...]

I love how different this series turned out to be from the original Rozen Maiden! It still has the same characters, but the atmosphere, the execution, and the themes are completely different here. That’s what a good sequel should be: avoid the tried and true and go into its own direction! It also really helps [...]

Rozen Maiden 2013 Yeah, I watched the original, and i’ll be the first to admit I have no clue what happened here. I think it was a recap, and I was able to roughly follow it (regardless of the terrible pacing…I have no idea how much content was here, but it was at least 6 […]

Aaaand back to tea time we go. …Wow, last week came and went extremely fast. Maybe it’s because I didn’t write a post for Makai Ouji this week, but I feel like it’s still Wednesday or something. Anyways, in comparison, Rozen Maiden is still continuing on it’s own pace. Shinku is back! …And there’s not [...]
