Mahou Tsukai ni Taisetsu na Koto

Someday's Dreamers was an anime that I stopped watching and then came back to. I mostly didn't finish because I ran out of time, for I had requested the DVDs from my library. So I started again from the beginning, this time watching it in Japanese instead of how I'd previously watched in English.

Story

The story stands out because instead of magic-users fighting evil, these people are working for the government. Kikuchi Yume comes to Tokyo to be an apprentice to become a mage. The series is not long, only 12 episodes, but it is enjoyable. While there are some parts that are serious, others are light and refreshing.

Animation

While the faces and character designs are quite pleasing to the eye and the backgrounds are pretty, the animation seemed so choppy to me, like they didn't spend that much time on it. The movements didn't flow naturally and it was quite inconsistent. However, it wasn't too bad, and worked all right for the anime.

Sound/Music

I really love the music in this series, especially the opening and ending themes. The opening theme sounds so gentle and has a sort of melancholy feeling to it, while the ending theme is more fast-paced (yet still relatively calm). The soundtrack music works well with the series.

Character

I did enjoy the characters very much, although I'd have liked to see more character development, and this may have been because the series could have been longer than it is. Yume, the heroine, is a sweet girl who has the best of intentions, but things tend to backfire at her. There's the other characters: Angela, the British exchange apprentice with a sour demeanour and proud attitude; Oyamada, Yume's calm and collected instructor; Kera, the joking assistant bartender who works for Oyamada; and lesser characters that you meet along the way.

Enjoyment

Someday's Dreamers is mainly a show for young teenage girls, and it even has a bit of fanbase. Yet it is something someone would enjoy if they're looking for something calmer in an anime.

I reccomend it, and if you do watch it, it won't take too long to finish. read more

This anime was not what i expected. I thought it is a very enjoyable creation, but I didn't feel anything while I was watching the film only I was a little bored.
 The story wasn't so interesting, it is really calm and relaxing. Too relaxing maybe. There wasn't any new idea, what could make the anime more impressing. It is a very low quality which i wasn't satisfied.
 With the art, it was alright but the moves aren't natural. The character design is I think nice, but it could be better if the creators would have dealed with it more.
 I am also unsatisfied with the character voices, especially with Yume's voice. I felt nothing while the main character should have felt pain and suffering. I couldn't felt anything. In my opinion that was the real problem.  
With the sounds there aren't any problem, I really liked the opening and the ending too while they're very different.
 I don't really know who should watch this anime. I watched it because I really like those animes, whitch I have to think about, but this has a very simple story. This is only my opinion, you don't have to listen me, I just write it, because I felt I must write my review. I hope you will enjoy it, if you like those kind of animes. read more
