Hello everyone,
Let's go ramble about a new anime series we've talked already some time ago named "Yumekui Merry" and that is currently on air on Japanese Televisions.
My first impression wasn't the best one, but well I have to change my opinion after watching the first seven episodes. (other six to go)
The series started a little slow and that may have affected my rating, but now is getting some backstory built (through the first series of dream demon that they fought) and I'm starting to like the presented characters.
There are many questions that the show present you without any answer. (And that hopefully will be all answered by the end of the series)
For example, who is Merry Nightmare? Why she appear in the OP as a child together with Yumeji (and Isana likely)? That means she is from that long on this planet all alone or that was the real body of someone else?!
The John Doe figure is also getting quite interesting with all the help he's giving to Yumeji to survive and to help him enter the dreams to follow this enemy called Pharos Heracles.
I'm hoping for him to merge with Yumeji to make our main character a little more useful in battle situations as at the moment he is just a liability to Merry.
Another interesting point to reflect onto is on the figure of Isana Tachibana, the childhood friend of Yumeji. She is trying to put her nose where she shouldn't with her talking to Chizuru (who is possessed by a dream demon from what I know)...
I'm sincerely worrying about her safety cause Chizuru doesn't seems the most stable person to be honest and who knows what can happen.
Another thing I'm thinking about is that girl, Yui Kōnagi, she looks to my eyes as the best candidate to be Yumeji's girlfriend, but who knows what will happen?!
My favourite character at the moment is by far Merry Nightmare. She's too cute with her complete lack of knowledge of the real world and at the same time quite cool when she fights against dream demons.
Also her passion for donuts (a recurring comedy relief on this series) is too fun to watch. See wallpaper right under this text. Isn't she cute?!
Concluding, keep an eye on this series as it's turning out to be quite a nice pick.
See you soon,
