If youve never read the Rozen Maiden manga[日本漫畫] or watched the anime[日本動(dòng)畫]， you will find Rozen Maiden 3 to be well out of your reach. If， however， you have fond memories from past seasons and are willing to see the story in a new direction， Rozen Maiden 3 will welcome you with open mechanical[無意識(shí)的] arms.

Sakurada Jun and Shinku are fighting a desperate[不顧一切的] fight against the seventh Rozen Maiden doll Kirakishou， and they are losing. After Kirakishou traps them both and renders[致使] them unable to fight they devise[想出（計(jì)劃）] an out-of-the-box plan to get themselves out of the bind[捆綁，束縛]. Meanwhile in a parallel[平行的] dimension[（數(shù)）維]， another Sakurada Jun who chose not to become Shinkus medium exists. After recovering from his hikikomori注1 tendencies on his own， Jun is now a university student with a part-time job at a used bookstore. One day he finds a strange magazine about doll-creation. Following the magazines instructions adult Jun builds Shinku from scratch[從零開始]. He is then contacted by kid Jun and is given instruction that will help him bring Shinku to life. Adult Jun agrees to help kid Jun in his battle against Kirakishou. But he has nearly no knowledge about the Rozen Maiden dolls and Kirakishou is following his every move…

The show seems to have matured alongside[與……并排] Jun. Gone are the frivolous[輕率的] childish fights between the dolls. They are replaced by adult Juns attempts to rebuild his life. When the Alice Game bits are thrown in for good measure[附加] they are always dreadful[討厭的].

Rozen Maiden 3 feels both foreign and nostalgic[懷舊的] to fans of the original anime. Its the franchises[系列動(dòng)畫] first foray[嘗試] into the HD注2 zone， and looks fantastic. Studio Deen注3 really pushed their budget and expertise[專業(yè)知識(shí)] to strengthen[強(qiáng)化] the grim[嚴(yán)酷的]， realistic atmosphere in adult Juns world. And it shows. The characters look crisp[活潑的] and the CG注4 merges[融合] seamlessly with the digital art.

Rozen Maiden 3 isnt for everyone. You need to have read the original manga， or at the very least watched the first season of the anime to even understand half of what you are thrown into. If you were expecting this to be a reboot[重啟] or a remake youre definitely out of luck.

如果你從未讀過《薔薇少女》的漫畫或者看過其動(dòng)畫片，你會(huì)發(fā)現(xiàn)《薔薇少女》第三季根本無從入手。但是，如果你有著來自過去幾季的美好回憶，并且樂意看到這個(gè)故事以一種新的導(dǎo)演方式來呈現(xiàn)，那么《薔薇少女》第三季將不由自主地敞開懷抱歡迎你。

櫻田純（譯者注：下文中的少年純）和真紅與薔薇少女第七人偶雪華綺晶進(jìn)行著一場(chǎng)殊死搏斗，他們處于失利狀態(tài)。在雪華綺晶將他倆雙雙困入陷阱，致使他們無法戰(zhàn)斗之后，他們出其不意地想出一計(jì)逃出了困境。與此同時(shí)在一個(gè)平行空間里，另一個(gè)櫻田純（譯者注：下文中的成年純）選擇不成為真紅的媒介而存在著。在他靠自己的力量從其“蟄居”傾向恢復(fù)過來后，純?nèi)缃袷且幻髮W(xué)生，在一家二手書店做兼職。一天，他發(fā)現(xiàn)了一本關(guān)于人偶制作的新奇雜志。在雜志的指導(dǎo)下，成年純從頭開始組裝真紅。接著少年純聯(lián)系上他，教給他幫助喚醒真紅的方法。成年純同意在對(duì)抗雪華綺晶的戰(zhàn)斗中幫助少年純，但他對(duì)薔薇少女人偶們幾乎一無所知，而雪華綺晶卻密切注意著他的一舉一動(dòng)……

這部動(dòng)畫似乎已經(jīng)與純共同成熟起來。輕率幼稚的人偶戰(zhàn)斗一去不返，取而代之的是成年純力圖重建他的生活。當(dāng)愛麗絲游戲情節(jié)額外穿插進(jìn)來時(shí)，它們總是令人不快。

《薔薇少女》第三季使原著動(dòng)畫的粉絲感到既陌生又充滿懷舊感。這是該動(dòng)畫系列初次涉足高清領(lǐng)域，而效果看起來極好。實(shí)際上Studio Deen增加了他們的預(yù)算，還極力提高了專業(yè)技能來加強(qiáng)成年純世界里嚴(yán)酷而逼真的藝術(shù)效果。效果有目共睹。動(dòng)畫形象活潑鮮明，電腦繪圖與數(shù)碼藝術(shù)融合得天衣無縫。

《薔薇少女》第三季并非為所有人而作。你必須了解原著動(dòng)畫，或者最起碼看過第一季動(dòng)畫片，對(duì)你正陷入的劇情有個(gè)一知半解。若你期待這是一部全新制作或者改編，那你確實(shí)就太不走運(yùn)了。
