If youve never read the Rozen Maiden manga[日本漫画] or watched the anime[日本动画]， 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[无意识的] arms.

Sakurada Jun and Shinku are fighting a desperate[不顾一切的] 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（计划）] an out-of-the-box plan to get themselves out of the bind[捆绑，束缚]. Meanwhile in a parallel[平行的] dimension[（数）维]， 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[从零开始]. 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[与……并排] Jun. Gone are the frivolous[轻率的] 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[讨厌的].

Rozen Maiden 3 feels both foreign and nostalgic[怀旧的] to fans of the original anime. Its the franchises[系列动画] first foray[尝试] into the HD注2 zone， and looks fantastic. Studio Deen注3 really pushed their budget and expertise[专业知识] to strengthen[强化] the grim[严酷的]， realistic atmosphere in adult Juns world. And it shows. The characters look crisp[活泼的] 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[重启] or a remake youre definitely out of luck.

如果你从未读过《蔷薇少女》的漫画或者看过其动画片，你会发现《蔷薇少女》第三季根本无从入手。但是，如果你有着来自过去几季的美好回忆，并且乐意看到这个故事以一种新的导演方式来呈现，那么《蔷薇少女》第三季将不由自主地敞开怀抱欢迎你。

樱田纯（译者注：下文中的少年纯）和真红与蔷薇少女第七人偶雪华绮晶进行着一场殊死搏斗，他们处于失利状态。在雪华绮晶将他俩双双困入陷阱，致使他们无法战斗之后，他们出其不意地想出一计逃出了困境。与此同时在一个平行空间里，另一个樱田纯（译者注：下文中的成年纯）选择不成为真红的媒介而存在着。在他靠自己的力量从其“蛰居”倾向恢复过来后，纯如今是一名大学生，在一家二手书店做兼职。一天，他发现了一本关于人偶制作的新奇杂志。在杂志的指导下，成年纯从头开始组装真红。接着少年纯联系上他，教给他帮助唤醒真红的方法。成年纯同意在对抗雪华绮晶的战斗中帮助少年纯，但他对蔷薇少女人偶们几乎一无所知，而雪华绮晶却密切注意着他的一举一动……

这部动画似乎已经与纯共同成熟起来。轻率幼稚的人偶战斗一去不返，取而代之的是成年纯力图重建他的生活。当爱丽丝游戏情节额外穿插进来时，它们总是令人不快。

《蔷薇少女》第三季使原著动画的粉丝感到既陌生又充满怀旧感。这是该动画系列初次涉足高清领域，而效果看起来极好。实际上Studio Deen增加了他们的预算，还极力提高了专业技能来加强成年纯世界里严酷而逼真的艺术效果。效果有目共睹。动画形象活泼鲜明，电脑绘图与数码艺术融合得天衣无缝。

《蔷薇少女》第三季并非为所有人而作。你必须了解原著动画，或者最起码看过第一季动画片，对你正陷入的剧情有个一知半解。若你期待这是一部全新制作或者改编，那你确实就太不走运了。
