Rozen Maiden 5

Memento has some comparsion shots between the 4:3 and 16:9 versions of Rozen Maiden. The 16:9 definitely works a lot better, but since the broadcast on BS-i is a week behind what I'm watching and I can't get raws for it anyways I'm stuck with 4:3 for now :P

Nori makes strawberry cake for everyone but Suiseiseki eats the strawberry on Hina's, then tries to put the blame on Hina. Hina runs upstairs and pouts.. While that's going on Jun and Shinku are closely watching that Detective Kunkun show with the puppets in it. Shinku really likes it ;) Nori tells everyone to behave while she's out...

But that doesn't happen, of course. Jun goes to retrieve Hina and she tells him what really happened. So he and Hina team up and build a fort upstairs and fight against Suiseiseki. They throw crayons at Suiseiseki, Suiseiseki tempts Hina with sweets and such.. Shinku doesn't take a side. But Jun tries to lure her up using a Kunkun puppet and she totally takes the bait. Very kawaii~, and totally not the normal Shinku that smacks everybody around like we're used to ;) Nori comes back to find a war zone, but everybody has dinner together and things look back to normal.

Yeah, nothing really happened this time to move anything forward. There were a lot of SD (super-deformed) scenes this time with all that crazy stuff going on. Was kinda funny, I suppose. Next time looks to be back to the more serious stuff (the title's "Tears") with Suigintou showing back up. Perhaps Shinku will be back to her usual self and smack Jun around ;)
