THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE.
----------------------------------------
The pacing still feels a little slow but I don't mind it.


Dat face lol

Jun and Shinku's relationship is going okay now I guess. OST is decent. I also liked Jun's improved relationship with Saitou. I guess the episode had more humor this time. Lol @ the tea party XD

I'm pretty excited to see what happens next time though with that ending.

Glad it was a decent episode, not a silly doll battle ep. Like the male lead said, it's hard to know where his hallucinatory dreams begin and end when watchig this series. Time limit of seven days? Sounds like Devil Survivor 2. Hope this show is going to be more tense and reasonable than that one.

Shinku in overlord mode LOL but the end is a bit scary...
So MAL finally starts locking news threads that are only a few weeks old?

I wonder where was the announcement of this change? Or we are seeing yet another case of changes made that impacted users but not communicated to them?

I wonder how long people would put up with this.

As much as I have a bunch of information to share about anime announced recently I cannot share it in news board, and the anime series is too disorganized and chaotic to share information except with people already interested in the particular series.

This is already better than the rushed Devil Survivor 2 adaptation. Except maybe the first episode.
bla bla bla
The endless debate between fans and haters. At one point, after spending a lot of time on MAL, you just realize it's totally pointless.

Still fantastic as ever.

I liked Shinku and Jun's interactions. I'd thought maybe he'd reject being bossed around by a little doll but I guess Jun is Jun. But to his credit he definitely does show more resistance to Shinku's whims, whether it's due to his maturity or his financial situations. Shinku herself recognizes older Jun has a life and maintains a bit of distance. It makes her demand that they go buy a teapot cute rather than annoying since it seems like an attempt to escape loneliness and bring a semblance of familiarity to her life.

The last scene was deliciously creepy. Loved it.

Its brings a lot of nostalgia that Shinku is now alive and slapping Jun's face! I finally what I have gotten, Jun dodging Shinku's slap!

Also, Suigintou and Megu next episode!!! Woohoo!

Shinku wanting college Jun to make tea for her, but has so many demands. It felt a little slow though, this episode. But still good. That ending part though...Kirakishou is such a creepy doll as always x_x

kirakishou is even creepier in the anime - i love it!! this series is progressing so well, and i like that they took their time adding this slice-of-life portion in, since i know that very soon this series will have none of it.


also... has uya dropped this series? it's kinda weird that they came back just for this and were the fastest subbers for the previous episodes, but they're really late this week. i wonder if it's just a hold up for this episode or they're giving up :/

But it's important to remember that a movie review is subjective;it only gives you one person's opinion.

It doesn't matter if you like LoGH,Monster etc.If you are a jobless or college/school dropout living in your mom basement, you are still an unintelligent loser. Taste in anime does not make you a better person.If elitist don't exist, casual pleb and shit taste also don't exist.

this episode finished off right at chapter three of the new manga (which i think shows up as chapter 48 on most manga sites?) the pacing is very good so far imo; people are saying it's a bit too slow but honestly after a few chapters it really starts speeding up. it looks like they're taking some liberty in keeping the beginning a little slow just to establish a connection between the characters and audience, and drawing out some of the filler slice-of-life bits because as it goes on this series will have almost none in comparison to the original anime.

tl;dr it's pretty stellar so far, and as a huge fan of the manga they're doing really well! i hope they keep it up. my only worry so far is i have no idea what part in the manga they could be cutting the anime off (since the manga is ongoing and already up to 50 chapters, and the anime only has 13 episodes) except for one part which is a huge cliffhanger and it's really going to suck if they don't get a second season. from what i understand the show is rather popular so hopefully it'll be able to get one!

do u think tha after 7 years that if they are going to end it in a cliff hangeer they would leave it like that? i think the guys who made this have learned by now not to leave anything unresolved.

So here is what I am understanding Shinku from the original Rozen Maiden was destroyed and was rebuilt in the other world where Jun choose not to wind. How did Shinku retain her memories and how is the wind Jun talking to the not wind Jun?

shinku wasn't destroyed, she was trapped by kirakishou. using the n-field jun sent copied parts of shinku's body to the unwound jun so he could build shinku's vessel, and then using holie (shinku's artificial spirit) her rosa mystica, which holds all of her memories, etc, was taken from shinku's normal body to give to the "temporary" shinku unwound jun made. it's exactly how she explains it in the episode.

like i just said, the rosa mystica holds a dolls memories, personality, essentially their "soul" kind of like a sim card on a phone, or the soul gems in madoka magica if you've watched it - the body doesn't matter as long as the soul is intact. the n-field expands forever as it's an abstract world made up of the conscious of mankind in all universes, so it can be used to reach other universes as long as you find the door that links them. that's how the juns can communicate. it's a little hard to explain, but that's about the gist of it.

yeah I was wondering the same thing... it would be extra creepy if kirakishou had taken over shinku's vessel or something.hmm... I guess it was just spying, but we'll see next episode I think. Kirakishou is creepy as hell. That evil laugh OMG >o<

Not a lot happened this episode, mostly Shinku experiencing the adult Jun's spartan lifestyle and him getting used to her classy demands. Shinku also probably compared mentally how much better off she was with the other Jun. I still enjoyed it a lot though.

Good to see more of Saitou, even for a bit; she adds something new to the table after all. She makes it possible to add a bit of romantic subplot to the story; plus she and Jun actually look cute as a couple. The other Jun didn't have any human love interests IIRC.

Since Rozen Maidens do not exist in adult Jun's world, the preview of Megu and Gin-sama together is highly likely be from the other world instead.
