THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE.
----------------------------------------
Well, another pretty intriguing episode. I'm liking the direction that this show is going, with it's mysterious atmosphere at all.

We get the typical transfer student this episode, along with a few more interesting events. It looks like the dream sequences are not limited to just our main character, which is interesting to say the least.

I wonder how the show plans on keeping Merry and the main character together.

Looks like Merry isn't the merry-type, and more of the snivelling-type.. And we officially got another one joining the Donut-faction.. :)

New characters' designs looks cool and the dream sequence is still as lovely as ever.. too bad there's no fight scene in this episode though..

The GG sub version I had stopped around 19:39, had to watch the rest of it RAW on youtube, was easy to understand from there tough.

It's developing nicely, I like it.

Heading in a good direction with hints of some complexity. Dad knows something. Shows what happens to someone when their dream dies, neat.

Definitely worth watching the third episode unlike several other new animes, so no voting off the island yet.

Yet another great episode. This is turning into one of the best shows this season.

I love how Merry goes from crying to big happy face just because of donuts. Priceless. Her cat pajamas were really cute, too. I also loved the music in that scene. Lovely music, nice animation with cool character designs, a good story, and I like every character so far. This just can't get much better.

Isana Tachibana's dad is just... off, somehow. Then we have the transfer student. I wonder if she's a dream character like Merry? Can't wait to find out more about these characters. Next week can't come quick enough. ^_^

This is really getting interesting, more so than I initially thought it would. Looks like it won't just be cats in the dream world, but many different kinds of demons. Also, this show seems a little serious at times, I wasn't expecting that either.

Again a pretty good episode and with some nice developments for the coming episodes.
Isana came over allot better this episode and in there home she seems to be the only one with responsibility yet she doesn't strike as a strict person.
The father also seemed very laid back.
And it was al very relaxing.
I felt sorry for the girl that got caught in the dream world tho i wonder what will happen to her.
And what is with that transfer student it's clear she has something to do with this the question is what.

This episode i will say nothing else than words of praise because am happy seeing that the show won't be wasting all it's time showing us Merry having fun with the others in the house until the last two episodes but it will actually focus on the plot and keep the dark atmosphere going threw the whole show.
Also it seems there are a lot more things coming from the dream world than just the cats.

The cute scenes with the donuts and staff where even more enjoyable because the episode wasn't full with just that. Hope it will keep going this way and not just make Merry go back and then mostly concentrate on her being moe with the protagonist.

There was some good artwork too. Especially the surrounding environment at moments was beautifully drawn.

Slow episode this time around, but interesting nonetheless. Really loving Merry as a characters. Of course she'll accept his help after she knows he can predict dreams.

Also Merry really likes her donuts doesn't she? =P

Long wait till the next episode! =(

This was another interesting episode especially since one other "vessel" lost her companion. It seems like dreams and reality are more intertwined than they think.

So far the story has an interesting premise, so it seems that this will turn out to bee good. I'll be looking forward to new episodes each week.

I enjoyed the episode but nothing really happened at all. It took 20 minutes and all we got was an explanation of vessels. Oh, and some donuts.

I felt bad for Serio but i didn't really care since the two of them got a 4 minutes total.

Quite the episode. Dream demons are a clear cut villain but it seems like there's another group at work here. Perhaps of the human kind. Some of these characters seems like they have some pretty evil looking faces too, like Isana's father and the teacher. They both had some very devious looking expressions in some scenes.

I like this kinda dark atmoshphere in this show the most, i guess. But man, this was boring, or maybe i was tired cauze i've almost fallen asleep, and this doesn't happen to me often while watching anime.

Gotta add that Merry's seiyuu does some really good work, i like her voice.

It wasn't too bad, and I feel like they've adequately explained how the whole vessel concept works. I'll still have to wait until the end until I can make a conclusive decision.

Thank god this episode answered all my confusions xDD Now it piles up because of the father, the teacher, the girl w/ serio and the transfer student... They seem to have important role in the plot xDD

Yumeji will be a great help since he can predict dreams. His prediction isn't that accurate since Isana dreamed about chili and wasabi when Yumeji predicted about sweet things xDD

15 times with the "accident peek"... Now I hate Yumeji *envy* xDDD

As much as the negative opinions go for this episode, I found its little details a great progress on many fronts. Such as Isana's cute side shows more of her character. Her sneaking up on Yumeji's conversation with Merry was another cute side as well as reply to Yumeji's accusation her getting fat after eating donuts. Particularly liked the bath fan service since it was nicely censored but enough to see the bodies shape and a little of the breast size of Isana. Find Isana's father bad ass old school Yakuza.

Another front was Merry, which showed a nice different warped world. Merry was also shown crying quite a few times. Hope Yumeji quenches it down. Also cute part shown of Merry at her reaction to donuts showed more of her character with a cute face such as in the spoiler
Of course my favorite cute face of Merry.

Now it brings me the most crucial parts that of Yumi and Serio. Now, Yumi herself has a cute face. Serio on the other hand is a little bit of a creepy Dream Demon of flowers. Do wonder what was his point to even coexist with Yumi? Strange scene really with those scissors that triggered a automatic in for Yumi into that strange world. In the end it was too just terrible how Yumi was bound but the sick shit that even killed and shredded Serio in front of Yumi's eyes so much she got totally shocked at how Serio went into pieces. :( Really too bad for that sad part. Can't wait to see how Yumeji will save Merry despite verbally expressing wanting so and despite Merry's refusal of any help. Preview of episode says new loli coming up and another Dream Demon trying to consume her. Great episode with crucial small details.

This show is really surpassing my expectations...

The dark and mysterious atmosphere only made the cutesy scenes more precious, I say. And I can say those dream worlds are really trippy.

We're discovering more about the main characters, good good. I'm actually pretty glad Merry left the house so we can avoid freeloader heaven. Mm, the dad must be related to all of this somehow, seeing how he seems to be so "relaxed" and just look at that badass scar!

And looking at one of the scenes of the teacher, I do think he's related somehow too. He seemed to have a really sinister smile back there.

I like where the show's headed now. I hope it keeps it up!

If the first episode didn't suit your taste, this episode had to have gotten it! The animation is so beautifully displayed! The story is hitting a high development stage! There's just so much to say that all I will bother to say is I am loving every bit of this series and hoping to see some new stuff from J.C Staff! Don't mess this one up, you've got me where you want me! Trust me! Truly looking forward to the next!

Gracefully and masterfully crafted episode. I really love Yamauchi's world and the atmopshere he's creating. Hands down the best new series of the season after two episodes.
