| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Pretty epic scene when Merry was going through a power-up. The choice of music at that moment was little bit strange, though. 56 years old Keiichi Oku, who's responsible for Yumekui Merry's music, must be a guy with a very unique taste. In the episode, we finally get to learn about the culprit behind all those people loosing their "dream". Btw, does anyone think Akiyanagi(the boy who just came to Yumeji to hand out a DVD) is Jukai Mistoltin (I don't know the exact spelling of his name), who is going to be the second antagonist character? Anyway, I loved the John Doe's servant cat girls. XD So jealous of Yumeji who got bandaged by them.  |

Merry was so kawaii~! I. Want. Those. Stockings. Now! Thank goodness "Play" didn't die. I was afraid she might. And it was nice to see Chaser John Dew again. :P I'm glad Yumeji posed the question, "So are you an enemy or an ally?" The same thing was running through my mind during their whole encounter. And I wonder why they changed the name Dream Demons to Muma. Dream Demons sounds better to me since Muma makes me think of a Mammoth for some reason. Let's just go with Dreamons. ^_^;; |

Yeah, I think that too. Next episode obligatory beach episode. |
| i want to ride the Express Merry Taxi -.- |
| huh? |
| hey a beach episode. was cool to see John Doe again. Yeah I also thought the guy bringing the dvd was an enemy. seemed like he was up to something. |
 |
| I liked the cat with the boobs more than the one without boobs. |
| Signature removed. Please follow the signature rules, as defined in the Site & Forum Guidelines. |
| i liked this episode. Merry was badass in her fight scene. I would shit my pants if i met a girl with that look in her eyes. |
 |
| Haha, John Doe made the cat girls because he knew Yumeji would like them. Found out more about the story, so this episode was good. We get some fanservice with the beach so it should be a good episode as well :) |
| I liked it, even though I couldn't help but notice some scenes with cheep animation quality, some scenes had me in awe over how surreal it felt. Ecchi comment (not really): |

| I think that demon coffee chick is Mistoltin, mostly due to her asking about dreams and whatnot. |
| Dear Math, I'm not a therapist. Solve your own problems. Oh, and Algebra? Stop asking us to find your ex, she's NEVER coming back. |
| ^Idk dude, John Doe said Mistoltin is a he xDD I don't want another trap xDD Yumeji is an awesome male lead! Keeping his cool when he is already that hurt! xDD Takateru has different eyes than everybody, he must be a muma xDD Yeah I noticed that since the first ep but I didn't bother about it until now xDD This episode confused me much... Is Heracles the sister of Engi? Is Heracles an enemy too? Who or what is Phalos? PS: I like those cat girls. now I want to slash myself to let them treat me. xDD I WANT JOHN DOE'S OUTFIT XDDD |

| What shouted awesome in this episode (and you gotta agree with me) was the part with the girl cats. Of course the long awaited beach episode. I think its become official that almost every anime must have one. When Yumeji says "Something that a man would like to try at least once: Situation number two", what was number one? I completely forgot. |
 |
| It was nice to learn about... things. Those cat girls were a nice touch. I hope they show up again and maybe we can get a name or something... >> I'm looking forward to next week's episode! |

Yeah, I think that too. I was thinking the exact same thing. |
 |
| This episode was pretty damn awesome. Looking forward to the next episode. |
   |
| That blue haired cat girl was pretty damn dericious. Need more of her immediately. Merry is probably some kind of gatekeeper of dreams with her keys and hax ability to collapse a dream demon's world. |
 |
| Next week's episode will be the best in the series. |
 |
| I'm posting this from MAL updater, but I'm guessing the most likely ending for this series is... Merry being some ex evil entity or some shit like that? |
| Wow this was far more interesting than the previous episodes combined. Now I'm really getting into the story. Now I'm more suspicious of the people around our main characters. It things get as interesting as this episode made them, I hope that a second season is just around the corner. |
| That was just about the gayest "Yo" I've ever heard when Takateru walked in. |
 |
| So >w<!!!!! Merry is so cute~ >w< And lol the catgirls. That surprised me. XD |
 |
| Wow this episode was great! Yumeji is indeed a great male lead. He knows how to keep his cool and is pretty BA. Merry was BA at the beginning and was so cute worrying over Yumeji. John Doe is back! and he brought some cat girls too :3 So it looks like he's an ally. Sweeet. Obligatory beach episode next. Can't wait hehe. |
| beach ep inc^^ |
 |
| Looks like the anime's goals were established in this episode. Looking forward to seeing how this plays out. Yumeji's injury wasn't as big a deal as last week's preview seemed to have you believe. |
| Episode was GREAT, 5/5 Yumeji being all manly got my both thumbs up. Saving the girl you love(?) is a good way to prove your manlyness. And badass merry is badass. I wonder about the significance of the keychains around her wrists... Other than that, John Doe and is nekomaids were win, the former for being cool, the latter for being cute (espcially the DFC one). Also, the plot thickens. And gives us more new questions than it answers. And I'm really not sure about that alpaca-chick's angle. She doesn't seem evil to me, but if everybody who was evil seemed evil, the world would be a better place. Looking forward to next episode. Beach-fanservice episode? DO WANT. With merry in an elementary school sukumizu? I'd better get a hanky to ram up my nostrils. Alltogether, I'm happier than ever that I decided to pick up this anime. PS: The scene at the end of this episode, with merry hugging yumeji to pieces was AAAAAAAAWWWWWWWWWWsome and heartwarming. Me likey |
| I want Rambo in a mecha-suit with a laser-chainsaw gun that fires nuclear warheads, fighting the love-child of Predator, Alien, a group of Bangladeshi terrorists, and Satan. (Actually that would be a pretty sick show) - StopDropAndBowl |
| Things are getting interesting >.> John Doe's a neutral character? Merry in swimsuit? Next episode ftw! |
 |
| Them keys are kind of as if Merry is the very gate between dream and reality. "Cats have a very useful tool." *shows a tv* Made me lol. Also, ep7, isn't that around the same episode as all animes nowadays bring in a beach episode? Seems like it, at least. |
| Protip: I don't really check the forums anymore, so if you want something, take it on my profile. Is it time for my long-awaited return to the forums? щ(ﾟДﾟщ) Nope™, probably not. |
| yay for the Neko Maids =D |
 |
| Epic episode! I already read the manga, but so see moe-Merry animated is alone enough to keep me watching. And the preview for the next episode was just hilarious. XD Oosran said: Also, ep7, isn't that around the same episode as all animes nowadays bring in a beach episode? Seems like it, at least. It's the same time as in the manga, the beach episode isn't a filler this time around. :) |

| It's not a filler, but from the preview, it looks like it will have plenty filler scenes in it. I think the whole episode will be about the beach, while in the manga, it was only one chapter (or a half?). |
 |
| Yumeji was so cool, protecting Merry like that <3 he's great ^^ I have a bad feeling about that friend who came to visit with the dvd, he creeps me out :P I do hope they won't end the anime with an open ending cauz that would be too much to handle... :( |
| Haha, got a good laugh at the female cats patching him up :] |
 |
| Pretty good, one of the better eps. |
 |
| i like this episode! 1st because merry went to a godlike mode!, and its really epic 2nd im glad to know that john doe is an ally! he looks pretty cool! |

The music during the scene scene where Yumeji was sliced sounded a bit like something from Rachmaninov to i am not to sure about that. stevewiess01 said: Ye those cat girls looked great and they where so sexy!Anyway, I loved the John Doe's servant cat girls. XD So jealous of Yumeji who got bandaged by them. I hope we get to see more of them. About this episode. It looks like Merry has more power then even she herself is aware of and we got to see that power during her rage after Yumeji was sliced by that blade. And her opponent was taken be surprise as well losing most of her energy even so much of it that Yui needed a rest after that. Even so her friend didn't really gave her the time to. John Doe's speech also made it clear that Merry is very powerful, and that there is more to her power then meets the eye. John Doe also made it clear why Yumeji was able to travel to dreams. Which was thanks to his help to he didn't really make it clear why he was helping he suggested taking out a couple of enemy's tho. And we finally got to see what happened to Yumi. Which isn't a good thing it seemed like she lost her soul or something and thanks to John Doe's speech we also know who did it. Things are starting to get even more interesting and i can't wait till next week. |
| the hug was so cuteteee :D 13 episodes isn't enough for this.. |
 |
| Wow, Merry going all crazy and strong was AWESOME XD John Doe is really an awesome character. So she's related to this Elcres person? Interesting ... Next week it seems we have the obligatory beach episode! :P |
| this is getting interesting, some sense of where the story is going to go now. |
| I like the male lead and the female lead. This already is more than I hoped for from this kind of show. And on top of that I get a genuinely interesting plot and drama that doesn’t feel forced. This show got so much better than my initial thought of it… But I was kind of irritated by John Does actions…I hope for some explanations later on… |
| Some more mysteries to the series. And more developments too. That was kinda cool actually. |
 In every age, in every place, the deeds of men remain the same. |
| Merry was awesome when she got the keys on her wrists. John Doe showing up will always bring more to the show. :) Anyways we got the plot moving now and the next episode is a beach episode. I wanted more battles to be honest but there might be one in there somewhere. |
  |
| John Doe is the most awesome character in this entire anime no exceptions (imo). This episode was touching at the end with Merry all cute and crying and clinging to Yumeji . |
| I really liked this episode with merry going wild =) |
 |
| I facepalmed hard when I saw the preview. And srsly guys? I think that dude at the end is the main evil guy (forgot his name) and the creepy girl's demon is Treesea (The Dream Demon is a he, not the vessel.) |
| This show is full of cool characters - from Yumeji and Merry to John Doe. This was fun but a bit ominous in the end. And why am I not surprise that there's gonna be a beach episode lol? |
 |
| I was so pleased with Yumeji this ep. He's already shown he has a spine, but this ep was the perfect example of how a Normal male lead should be. Trying to act cool while being hurt, some bravado in his encounter with John Doe, yet nowhere over the top and no megalomania. Really very nice. I'm also very happy John Doe is a guy providing answers and not just another (harder to beat) monster of the week. And though Yumeji looked great with those catgirls, it paled in comparison with Merry hugging him when he woke up. Very adorable. |
