The main focus of the 2013 **Rozen Maiden** anime is on a Jun who didn't wind
the key, in an alternate universe from the one who wound the key. In several
points in the show, these two universes cross paths and are linked via
N-field.

My question is, is the universe in this TV series where Jun wound the key the
same world/story/canon in which the original Rozen Maiden took place (or even
"Träumend")? Or is this just part of a completely different storyline/canon in
which there was a Jun that wound the key and the events in that universe were
similar but unrelated to any of the previous series?

Is the 2013 Rozen Maiden "Zurückspulen" anime part of the same original storyline?


From my understanding it's based off the Manga which is canon and it combines
the first Manga which focuses on Jun having wound and the second manga in
which Jun didn't wind and grew up but is contacted by his younger "wound" self
to help stop Kirakishou.

The original anime isn't canon since it has Barasuishou who was created by
Enju, Rozen's apprentice as a means to prove his superiority as a doll maker
over Rozen by having Barasuishou beat the other Maidens and becoming the
strongest doll rather than becoming Alice. At the end, the Rozen Maidens
defeated by Barasuishou are taken to Kirakishou by Laplace's Demon, Suigintou
comes back to life but keeps the Rozen Mysticas she won while Hina Ichigo
remains inside Shinku and Shinku is told by Rozen that there is a way to bring
her back and another way to become Alice without the Alice Game.

This is different to the manga as Kirakishou devours Hina Ichigo from the
inside to assume her physical form and there is no Barasuishou.
