Dream Eater Merry Yumekui Merry This show started pretty nice. The first episode was different, original, presented a great villain, a bearable character and hinted at a very interesting storyline. But, after that, things end up getting few developments. [...]

Summary: OK, you’re just going to have to bear with me on this one. See, Leon’s gun does have bullets, just not powerful enough to kill Mistilteinn. Still with me? And he can make said bullet, even without Engi as a sacrifice. But he has to be shot by a bullet himself. Is it necessary [...]

I vouch for Merry while pretty much everyone else is blasting it from the start and this is what I get. Oh well, sure taught me a lesson or two about trusting JC Staff. While KoreZombie was easily the overall … Continue reading →

Yumekui Merry is a solid series that could have been better if it had more episodes to work with. Its 13-episode length doesn’t give it enough time to develop the central plot and the end feels more similar to the completion of an arc rather than that of a series. They still haven’t found a [...]

Dreameater Merry: Shakugan no Shana III. Merry=Shana, Yumeji=Yuuji, Yui=Yoshida. About half the show consisted of battles in dreams, and the fighting was quite well done. Except most of the battles were two people talking about how they believed in themselves … Continue reading →

It’s episode 13! It’s the end of the series! It’s an anti-climax! Hurray? This is the epic conclusion between Mistilteinn and the heroes; Yumeji had taken up arms to combat her. Like I predicted in the previous update he invariably … Continue reading →

Ok, no power of love in this episode. Just the force of will. Who didn’t see this coming? I am the bone of my sword. Steel is my body, and fire is my blood. I have created over a thousand blades. Unknown to death. Nor known to life. Have withstood pain to create many weapons. [...]

This post has no spoilers, so don’t be afraid to read it if you haven’t watched Yumekui Merry. I’m going to keep this review really short–Yumekui Merry starts off on the right track. The first episode left me wanting more. I liked Merry and I looked forward to learning more about her and the other [...]

WTF was with that air trombone? I would like to start by saying, "I FEEL SO TROLLED BY THIS EPISODE!?!??!?!" I feel a need to rant heavily about this last episode. To summarize, this is the worst ending that I have seen in a long time. It was a good 3-4 episodes' worth of building up for a fight that barely happened, along with a shitty ending. I guess I'll start off by summarizing how bad

If you’re looking for eye candy, then this is an excellent recommendation. Yumekui Merry is a piece of art, with some of the most artistic direction. Jut about every camera angle is interesting and dedicated to make its cast stand out. Every single background drawing is utterly gorgeous. With a rock-solid that brings a ton [...]
