Dream battles and dramatic artwork Fosh: What a wonderful week I have had! Well I would be lying if I said that after suffering from a hardcore reboot of my computer. But thankfully I found my original disc to restore the damn thing, but lost all my files! WHYYYY!! Anyway that’s alright, I will restore [...]

「夢の中でアストレイ」 (Yume no naka de asutorei) "Astray in a Dream" Relative to the show only in itself, this was one of the best episodes so far.

Episode 05 – Astray in a Dream – 夢の中でアストレイ (Yume no naka de asutorei) I’ve noticed this for a while now, but Yumekui Merry has a very odd soundtrack. A lot of the tracks are rather different from what I would normally expect during certain scenes, and while the tracks sometimes work well, at other [...]

#5: Astray in a Dream This week, Yumekui Merry seems lighthearted and fun, but it soon turns into one of the best episodes yet as we find something interesting out about the whole tapir thing. Plus...

To some degree, I feel like JC Staff is still holding back Yumekui Merry in some ways (maybe the shittastic animation quality of this episode), but I give director Shigeyasu Yamauchi a lot of credit for successfully transitioning the show from typical JC Staff fantasy/monster-of-the-week fare to a much more darker show that explores the [...]

I really like episodic series. Sure, they’re easy to screw up without the right execution, and their main storylines don’t become as smooth as series with a continuous story, but really: who cares? They’ve got plenty of ways to make up for that. This episode showed that even episodic characters are just awesome if they [...]

Yumekui Merry hasn't quite proved to be a real seller but has at least proved to be interesting enough for me to continue watching it. Not that I'm real impressed with these dreaming stuff though. It might have been a pretty original idea, but the idea of having non-humans coming from another reality to fight has been done to death. Yumekui Merry needs something more than lucid dreaming and something more creative related to the topic of dreaming to really bring out appeal. I've only realised in episode 2 that Merry has slit eyes. I must say that itself made her a lot more interesting for me as it is something you don't always see. Episode 3 shows another character with crossed eyes too. I don't know if the character Minato will have anymore roles in the future episodes, but if she has, her introduction comes off pretty weak. Despite her role in the episode, her character is almost formulaic to the standard supporting character; nothing more than that. Also in the third episode, we finally got an idea of how the term "Yumekui" comes from, albeit it's just a silly nickname Yumeji thought of. If the rest of the episodes carry on like this, I won't say it's really a show worth watching unless they planned for an epic ending, which I highly doubted. I do hope they would ramp up the action and story a little, and provide more eye candy =) (Eye candy does not equate fan service!) Outlook: Fairly Positive

Yumekui Merry, two episodes of the same. I gave the first episode raving reviews but now… I don’t know if it can contend with the best of them. Summary: This episode is much like the last one. A Dream Demon takes over an acquaintance and the Merry/Yumeji team must stop them. This time, the Dream [...]

Hello, Let's go talk about a new fantasy Manga/Anime currently airing this season (four episodes aired) named Yumekui Merry created by Ushiki Yoshitaka. Let's go read the synopsys from Wikipedia. Yumeji Fujiwara, a young male student like any other, gained the power to see the aura of other people's dreams, and is able to predict what kind of dream they will have the following night, after an event that occurred 10 years ago. Since then, he started to have weird dreams with cats following him for an unknown reason, where he learns thanks to the boss of the cat army, John Doe, that his body is needed to access the real world. One day, as he was about to come back home after his errands, a mysterious girl falls on top of him. This girl, called Merry Nightmare, is actually a dream demon, who's searching for a way to come back in her world. As Yumeji decides to help her, the gate to the world of dreams opens again, this time in full daylight. She appears in the daydream world and wards off the Dream Demon "Chaser John Doe" looking for an answer to how to get back to her world. It seems as if John Doe knows something about Merry. The story read from the synopsis looks like dead serious, well that's wrong. At the moment (I'll reserve to change my idea when I'll see all the episodes) the anime has been a fanservice parade with little development on the main story terms. The characters are likable and the graphical quality is high level, but that's it. The manga looks interesting as quality, but I'll wait to see how the animes fares before deciding to buy it or not, so any cover talk is on hold until then. Concluding, this is not a bad pick at all (the characters are funny and the visual quality is very high), but don't expect a fantastic story from it.      And remember, all the donuts to my Merry!!! feal87

Dream Eater Merry This episode starts nicely, everyone is just normally going through school and the rest of their day. It’s all pretty interesting and fun in a slice-of-life way but, at the same time, lots of interesting details concerning something bigger are also happening. Really nice, the music is also cool as always, really helping [...]

Hello and welcome back Merry Nightmare. I’m sorry that I haven’t visited you! I’m trying to catch up on all the anime that I missed during my spout of sickness and exam week. The 4th episode of this is already out and the 5th should be coming really soon. I’ll try to speed through everything. [...]

Well I was underwhelmed by Yumeji this episode, and aside from Merry’s cute antics, I was rather underwhelmed by her as well. Who did get me thinking though, is Tachibana Isana – but probably not the way I should be thinking. For the past three episodes (and two reviews), I’d tagged Isana as a dull [...]

「夢喰いメリー」 (Yumekui Merry) "Dreameater Merry" "Why do you care? Why do you want to help me? Why am I so important to you?" Why oh why indeed. I know, how about, "because if I don't, there would be no story!" This works also, "because you're a girl!" Or "because my powers happen to help your goal, so why can't you just understand and stop being so effin' tsundere?" Yeah. That works.

So late post is late, obviously. Maybe if I stopped playing so much osu! these would come out on time… Anyways, this is coming out later today than I wanted, but sleeping in is amazing, and I wanted to reread some scenes in Umineko. Without further ado, lets begin the preview for another show that’s [...]

Keeps the donuts away. In a 13 episode show, right around the 4th episode, you get a sense of whether a show has enough substance to keep it going strong. The bad shows have already revealed their true colors. The average shows become dramatically less interesting. The good shows maintain the quality or even tick [...]

Episode 04 – Dream Eater Merry – 夢喰いメリー (Yumekui Merii) Hmm, well this show still hasn’t gone back to wrap up some of the plot lines from before, where I’m specifically referring to Yumi being taken over by a Dream Demon. And at this rate, I’d suspect that the creators aren’t going back to it, [...]
