Sentai Filmworks Confirm the Obvious – Acquisition of Rozen Maiden Zurückspulen Anime Series

-

 

While this is nothing overly surprising considering they are the current license holder for the other Rozen Maiden anime series, but Sentai Filmworks have today confirmed their acquisition of the rights to Rozen Maiden ~ Zurückspulen. This 12-episode reboot of the series delves beyond the original eight volume manga series into the volumes that never made it to international shores. Zurückspulen comes with an almost new production crew including direction by Mamoru Hatakeyama (Sankarea) and features character designs by Kyuta Sakai (When They Cry ~ Higurashi), with series composition and sound direction by Tomomi Mochizuki (Touka Gettan) and music by Shinkichi Mitsumune (Rozen Maiden).

Digital distribution of the series has already begun through services like Crunchyroll and will be available as a home video release in 2014. While an English dub has not yet been confirmed, I would say given they managed to get the entire original voice cast back for Ouverture they will once again bring them back for Zurückspulen.

Time is a strange thing.  In every moment, there are fleeting circumstances of opportunity, which if taken, can completely change the course of one’s life.  And there are those who postulate that not only is each of these chains of events possible, but that there are parallel worlds where those events HAVE taken place.  Which brings us to the story of Jun Sakurada… a Jun who chose NOT to turn the key in the back of the lifelike doll that mysteriously arrived at his house.  A Jun who DIDN’T enter into a contract with the Rozen Maiden known as Shinku, and never met any of the other Rozen Maidens.  Or, should we say, hasn’t met them YET.  Because just as certain opportunities exist for only a moment, there are also threads of fate so strong that the very fabric universe can turn itself inside out in order to make them happen.  One of which is the thread connecting Jun and Shinku.  The events of the original ROZEN MAIDEN are rewritten, and the destiny of the characters rewound as a once lost spark is rekindled in ROZEN MAIDEN ~ ZURÜCKSPULEN!
