Rozen Maiden Zuruckspulen Episode 1 Review directed by Mamoru Hatekayama Produced by Studio Deen
One day a note drops into Jun’s room asking whether or not
he will wind a doll. Jun chooses the former; thus begins a series of magical
battles between dolls. Mysteries are abound in this new fantastical world Jun
has now entered.
Based on a manga which is currently being serialized in the
seinen (men’s) comic anthology Weekly Young Jump in Japan; Zuruckspulen makes
next to no sense in its first episode. This is not the right foot to start your
series on. The show looks very nice but the pacing is far too quick to follow
the events and characters have no time to actually interact with one another.
The advertising for the show indicates that there will be an
alternate reality, supposedly, but the show does a poor job establishing it
giving zero indicator of it in the first episode. If the show has any hope of
improving itself it will need to slow the pace down considerably and allow the
audience to familiarize themselves with the characters because as it stands it
is one giant abstract mess.
Rating: 4/10
