Ichima is so freaking creepy! O_O
Meh, in the end even when Merry found out about his ability, she still didn't accept his help. "No thanks"... xD
Also curious who this is.

Interesting episode again! =)

Wow not only Yumeji can scan dreams but also can enter the daydream too! with that, I'm surprised. He wasn't even scared in that dream though he was running like crazy with those cats xDD Maybe it's because its not his dream.
I think it is rather still baffling of how come he can enter dreams just like this one suddenly although I want to know if he does it on his own or only with Merry?

LOL Seriously?!?!? xDD
Yeah unfortunately Top Model came into mind or hot sexy girls and that pose is one of them they do in movies or fashion shows IMO.

PS: the moment where Yumeji scanned Minato was freakin scary that I turned on the lights x.x
Really? Guess me too I was scarred but not that much. :P


Words out of my mouth, loved that pose. Wish I could have been under that thing.


Also I love this seiyuu, hope she does more anime.

Gotta love Merry and her addiction to donuts. It''s like Shana's addiction to melon bread. Also liked the Seiyuu for the creepy Kimono girl. Her interchanging voice made her more creepy. Still can't feel a bit bad for that kmono girl. Maybe all she wanted was a friend. Probably couldn't let go of her because she lost friends in the past.

Excellent episode and pleased with the progression. Art is still amazing for this series. This episode's charms although some generic did give us a nice loli that is clumsy despite being very cheerful.
Yes she was so cute with those bright eyes and the hat she was wearing.
Added with the actions of her with falling and standing like nothing had happened.

Yumekichi11 said:
And more insight into dream demons variations, with this one being named Ichima, being a sorts of Old Japanese maiden.
Her personality was also different from what we saw before just makes me wonder what we will get next.

Yumekichi11 said:

Didn't even notice that pose till you pointed it out, makes her look like a delinquent girl.

Yumekichi11 said:
On the other hand Chizuru living so lonely and strangely got me fearing the worst. That is she really is a vessel also from her eyes changed.
It was obvious she had something to do with the dream world, tho i didn't expect her to be a vessel and she is fully aware of being one.
The place where she lived and the way she was dressed really surprised me.
That place was really a dump and she was wearing her gym outfit, so either she doesn't care about her lifestyle or she is in serious money trouble.
I also suspect she has something to do with the attack from last week on Yumi or what was her name.

Yumekichi11 said:
The end of the episode intrigued me with what appears a Angel female with a red crystal

having damaged a dream demon and kill him. It was just the classical ghost is jealous of vessel's friends and wants to keep her to herself. It was the end that wants you wanting more to find out what it was about.
There still a lot of things unexplained and unsolved like the attack from last week and what happened to John Doe.
I am also wondering what influence that angel will have and what John Doe is planning to do.
Merry and Yumeji also appear to be special with having powers which are also unexplained for the time being, and this Anime might be deeper then it appears.

It seems everything about this show is either extremely interesting or extremely...not, with little in between. I hope it turns into more than a "dream demon of the week" type of show though. There seems to be an overplot of some sort for sure, I just hope they put significant focus on it.

Is it a trend always to broadcast 13 episodes of an anime?
I'd love to see some 24er's again, where the plot can slowly develop and come to an good ending.
It's all about a possible second season ~o~


This episode was really interesting again, but i don't like how Merry fights the Dream-Demons. Pulling your check then clap you into the other world xD

Can't she get a Katana like Shana? :O

Looking forward to next episode, seems pretty promising

The ONLY thing that is bothering me is that the angles for the action scenes are disgusting. To tell the truth i don't know if i can call this an action show despite the fact that she 'beats' the enemy.

The whole daydream stuff is still awesome though.

A very strong episode, was nice all the way through but the later half was very enjoyable. I love the 'Dream World' designs and the demons aswell, always look forward to that aspect of this show.

The angel at the end has a very nice character design, I am instantly drawn to her.

8/10 for that Episode 3

Problem is, for an unproven series, its hard for tv channels to be able to just give them 24-26 episodes without already being an established manga/novel. 12-13 is good for test runs, and if it becomes popular, it can get a 2nd season.

I read the manga, and it just gets better and better.
But I wonder who this girl with the red hair and cross eyes is. Because she is anime original, I guess she is a lead-up to some anime original ending.

Ok, now there's no denying Yumekui Merry is the best new series of the season. Once again, characterization and development shone, the direction is simply superior, the atmosphere is perfect for a series focused on dreams and both OP and ED are great.

In every age, in every place, the deeds of men remain the same.

Why did I have to find this series before all the episodes came out? Now I have to wait another whole week.

I'm beginning to wonder who Yumeji is. (I also can't help but notice that his name contains the word Yume which is the Japanese word for dream). He can't be an ordinary person if he has these powers.


Ichima's voice acting seemed... bad, to say the least.[/quote said:

I still think the first episode is the strongest so far thanks to Chaser John Doe and the darker atmosphere, but I haven't lost interest. Yet. Let's hope it doesn't turn into a monster-of-the-week sort of show.

Yup, the very same fang that OreImo's Kirino has. Which is why it's all the more creepy that the voice actors are different, in spite of having the exact same voice!

Yeah, that first episode was great. I want Chaser John Doe to come back. Since he's in the OP, he probably will.

"That fang" is kind of becoming a tsundere trademark (or was it already and I'm only just noticing?) Fang from IS also has the tooth. Lol@the name. But comparing our lovely Merry with someone like Kirino is just not right. D:

Yep. "Dream Demons" like Merry, Serio, and Chaser John Doe want to enter reality (because they're curious, I guess). And to enter reality they have to either co-exist with a human vessel or take over the vessel forcefully. I'm not sure if by taking over the vessel the human soul is destroyed or not, though. Anyways, our lovely little Merry somehow came to Reality in her "Dream Demon" form, without a human vessel. Now all she wants to do is go back to the Dream World.

That's what freaks me out, it would be rather terrible that the soul is lost, maybe it's only taking over the body. Can there be a dream demon exorcist that may appear in this series? That would be interesting to see.

@Yumekichi11

I wondered the same thing. And also, is the relationship between the Dream Demon and the human vessel an eternal one? Are they stuck coinciding together forever, or can they choose to go their separate ways later?

Serio's case also comes to mind where, even though she was already co-existing with a human vessel, when Yumi reached down to touch that strange scissors she somehow entered a Daydream which brought another Dream Demon into play... did that Dream Demon kill Serio? She didn't disappear like the previous Dream Demons; she shattered.

I hope they can answer all these questions in the short amount of episodes this show has, but I'd much rather have a second season, because I love this anime so much.

I actually love this anime! The whole ''Alice in Wonderland''-esque feeling makes me wonder about whether I should be watching this, or ''Inception''. We're getting to see some good development all around. We even introduced a new character. Some pretty light comedy in there, as well. This all made for a great episode, and the preview was no exception! Looking forward to the next!
