OMG! Yui is super adorable just like the previous episode. XD Also, I loved how she was able to switch back and forth with Engi by giving a couple of cutesy knocks on her head.

Alright, jokes aside, there wasn't that much progress in the plot as Yumeji, Merry, and Engi talks about how it is currently impossible to send back the muumas without actually "killing" them. Oh, we get to learn who the bad guy is!

Since it seem like he have take him over 100%.

The other girl that are befriend with Izunas also probably try to save her.

That teacher just totally surprised me with that. I kinda got the feeling he had a dream demon, but I didn't know it would go as far as to kick the student when she's down.

I also can't believe Isana has a dream demon. The anime has more plots than the manga. CAN'T WAIT FOR THE NEXT EPISODE!!!!!

Isana, nooo~!

Crazy teacher the steals dreams - That could be cool.
Crazy teacher who beats people when they're down - Mothertrucking die. Now.

Engi and Yui are so awesome. I love how they switch personalities off and on, confusing Merry and bringing on many adorable expressions. I wonder how they'll deal with the Dreamons if they can't kill them. Maybe they can force them out without killing them? Maybe they can somehow restore their dreams afterwards?

Kawanami, Chizuru shows emotion! I'm glad Isana reached her. Like Yumeji said, she's an ally... right? I hope so.

We need more donuts and John Dew.

Depending on how this show ends I may be tempted to go read the manga. So sad that it's almost over. Am I the only one hopelessly awaiting the announcement of a second season? :s

Really good episode :O So basically killing a dream demon will kill the dream too ... kind of figured that one out already though :P
Some cute / funny moments as well, like getting confused about Play / Yui :P
Also, wow, that girl can force them into humans? Then kills them? She's ... with that teacher guy ... wow. I liked him! D; Didn't expect him to go all crazy like that O_O Wonder if he's taken over or cooperating?
So now Isana had a dream demon forced into her I bet ... wow. That girl Kawanasami ... or something? She can go into dreams too? O_O Interesting ...

Uhuhuhu so more players finally enter the stage. But who is using Kawanami as their vessel? Maybe it's Play's sister or something.

The other dream demon says if you kill a dream demon, the vessel pretty much loses the will to go on. But as we've seen so far, Merry exterminating the dream demons does not result in this. She obviously has some form of special skill that allows her to move between the dream worlds and reality as she pleases. I still believe that she is some form of gatekeeper that is capable of separating dreams and reality.

I agree with everyone, Yui wins by being adorable to the brim <3

Engi is really cool - I'm happy she ended up as an ally.

The last part of the show confused me. Who is that alpaca-girl with her gun?
She's not elcres, and the teacher is Mistilteinn, but who is she, and what is her agenda?

As always, next week can't come fast enough.

They cut a big bunch of the adventure in the Clown's dreamworld. Can't complain tough: it was pretty boring in th manga.

I am quite sure there will be a 2nd season. Else, they would have Pharaoh Hercules as the main villain rather then introduce another one (the Kind Teacher).

So you mean the remaining episodes will focus on the teacher alone? Hmm... i guess, i have to go for the manga to see the Pharos plot. Btw is Pharos from the Greek word "light-tower" and Pharaoh right? It makes more sense since dream demons follow his light instead of him being named like an Egyptian pharaoh. I mean even the second name is Greek so i guess that's where they got the naming inspiration for the guy.
Well now i guess Pharos is the blond guy with the black eyes.


Anyway, i just can't get why didn't Yumeji already realized so he can tell Merry and make her feel better, the fact that Merry really is different if people get their dream killed when their dream demon dies. That didn't happen when Merry beat-up that guy who took over Yumeji's friend. So they probably don't die and Merry can feel free to kick their ass all she wants but hey even if hey do she doesn't have to worry about hurting humans.
That difference was so obvious, that is stupid that Yumeji didn't think of it and am afraid that the creators may do something even more stupid and make Merry and Yumeji not attack the dream demon in Isana because they will be afraid for her well being ignoring what happened before with his other friend.

I'm glad that the teacher is so sadistic because he'll make an even better villain. Well, actually she'll make a good villain. Isana was really cute how she got so jealous, I really hope they can save her instead of destroying her dreams.

I think episode 9 just killed this series for me.

I mean, they cut a pretty significant part of original story in favour of what? Little Isana fan service? Sigh

The teacher isnt the one who took down that girl. It was the transfer student who did it. She also seem to have "gathered" something from her. Why and what role teacher plays, will probably be told later on.

From what I heard the teacher doesn't exist in thel manga, is that right? Got to admit though, I never expected him to be THAT brutal on the girl. I love his mad face though.

Good episode I guess, more talk than action but some background info more or less. Treesea made another appearance worthy of her character. Looking forward to the next episode while steadily approaching the end.

Very nice episode. Good to see the whole matter with the killing of dream demons being the cause of dream-loss. Good to see Engi and Merry are on better terms now as well.

Yui is so adorable.

On the other hand the teacher is actually Treesea, I figured as much. Sadistic bitch kicking that girl while she's on the ground...

But worst of all: poor Isana is the next victim! ;_;

madoka is a philosophical story in a different way than this one. although this one is less tragic. i would not compare them in this context.

still though, its not enough that he destroys her dream but beats her up too...

I became speechless after this episode o_O

Let's see John Doe went inside Yumeji's dream to take his body and that what's currently happening to Isana... She will get a daydream to be a vessel for freakin Elcres then to be slaughtered by Treesea... wth...

Why is Kawanami seemed to have no powers at all? I won't be surprised if she is like Yumeji that can enter daydream without a muma xDD

It seems there will be a second season for this :D final boss in this season would most likely Treesea then next season would be Elcres xDD It won't be enough if they could pull out Elcres at the near end since it's already episode 9 o_O Perhaps they can do that...

^I'm not so sure about that... Mei's dream is to meet Chris in person but since Chris sent him to oblivion... Chris said some nice parting words that's why Mei did not have "dream loss syndrome". She stopped dreaming, gave up on him and moved on but what you said is also plausible. :D Besides Mei achieved her dream so I guess she has no regrets xDD

^good question but I think it will be explained soon. I think Merry's keys represent something during her battle with Engi, perhaps it could open the door connected to the both human and dream worlds that's why she entered the human world without a vessel... Dang too much Kingdom Hearts xDD

There’s the senior with Chris, but had to admit it’s still surprising to see female shaped demon in male body. Thankfully the fights will mostly be done in dream field, else… seeing her getting all hysteric (well, average chance that will happen typically) in that body is kind of weird ^^;;
Now, are both of them getting along well (read: that guy is screwed up even before meeting her) or she’s taking over. Seems to be the first option though, because his eyes doesn’t change.

Getting to wonder what Chizuru’s allegiance with Elcrest, or if Elcrest himself would come for retribution against Mistletain for killing his men.

But seeing the number of episodes left, what do everyone think the plot will be ? Maybe until book 5 (Merry’s real identity) and changing the fight against Noir with Mistletain (the hidden boss character) and leave an open ending pushing Elcrest fight after the anime story (or second season if things gone well).

PS: didn’t hear it clearly, what did Engi said Mistletain’s ability is ? Only heard the part of forcefully pulling human and demons into her field, but aren’t all demon have that ability ?

I get what you're saying, but I'm gonna go out on a limb and guess they're comparing them in terms of enjoyment. I'm the same way. Madoka Magica and Yumekui Merry are my two favorites this season just because they're the most entertaining. Although I think Madoka will end up being better than Yumekui Merry. I say that because I've got a bad feeling the ending of YM will not satisfy. :/

I think I agree with Merry about returning to the dream world. Just think about. We were said that Elcres somehow "sends" mumas to the reality (it seems he is in front of them in dreams). And we also know that he killed Patty IN THE REALITY. So, after a little thinking, comes an interesting conclusion: Pharos is able to go to both dream and real world.
