I just knew they were going to end it on a cliffhanger like that. Things are really getting interesting though. I want to know how Yumeji got his power.

First: F@#$&*% MAL MY POST DISAPPEARING AND HAVING TO WRITE THE SAME SHIT AGAIN!!!!!

I don't get this jumping in-frond of a sword thing. If he had time to do that then he could jump at the person holding the sword, instead of just taking the slash. I guess it was just needed for cliffhanger purposes.

Now i didn't get what this dream demon was about. Was it chasing other dream demons or something else? Who killed her sister exactly and why did she accused Merry for it? Is Merry a part of some other species? Is there some other kind of creatures except humans and dream demons?

I really liked this episode, the first part was kinda funny and the second part had some drama, poor Yumekui! She's been looking for a away back for like 10 years, she discovers she "killed" those Dream Demons and she just heard she can't go back :( I liked Yumeji a lot this episode and it seems like he'll release some kickass power :D

Huh, it seems they ran out of money for the ending parts of this episode because it was for the most part, stills, and unintentionally hilarious looking stills at that. Otherwise, this episode was great. I'm getting Natsume Yuujinchou vibes now, and that's a very good thing.

I think Engi's goal is to kill all dream demons in the human world, because her sister was lured into the real world by that light and killed by a dream-demon.
I assume her sister was killed by Pharoth Elcres (though we haven't seen that) and Engi thinks Merry is working for that guy.
I've no clue about other species, but it's obvious that Merry is no ordinary dream demon, as she can walk around in the real world without a vessel.

More merry service today. Nice to see our male lead be useful in more ways ... oh wait he goes unconcious... O.o
Well, its the thought that counts!

The action was animated a bit better, while the art got sloppy at least i could see what was going on for once. Story just keeps getting better.

Looks like there may be a new kind of relationship between Yumeji and Merry next episode, me likey. I also like how the male protangonist isn't a complete wuss and actually does some pretty cool stuff, protecting merry like that too real balls.

Darn, so merry can't go back, thats too bad and the fight was pretty good and the episode itself was great. Looks like merry unleashes her true power really looking forward what it is and yumeji seems determined enough to put his life on the line for merry.

She's been here for 10 years already and now the Dream Demon tells her that there's no way back! You could see that it was a big blow for Merry.

The fight scene with Engi Threepiece was nice and in the end Yumeji sacrifices himself to protect Merry! In the preview you see he's injured and lying in a hospital, but I though humans couldn't get hurt in a dream? O_O

Anyways, the cliff hanger's killing me. I hope Yumeji's ok! T_T

maybe she's been there for three weeks and past by that store ten times in that past few weeks?

And people, he's ok. its not much of a cliffhanger. the preview shows him in a hospital with Merry crying. how is that a cliffhanger?
You're right, she could have passed the sign in a very short time span. ^^

I'm really liking Merry's voice acting, the cuteness fits the character very well but it's also very clear and full of emotion (where needed)... this Sakura Ayane is apparently new but I think she's very good.

I don't know... they say she destroyed them, but I can't help but wonder if she isn't a yumekui after all. Engi said she smelled other muma about them. Possibly Merry has absorbed them unknowingly.

Obviously her and Yumeji have a shared past together, so his dubbing her Yumekui could have been more than just some random idea he had. Though he might not exactly remember why he pulled that out of nowhere either.

It's nice you noticed that too. Indeed in the OP it looks like it is shown that Yumeji and Merry played together as kids. Can't wait for that flashback and its circumstances of how it happened.

I liked the shopping scene, it gave Merry and Yumeji a little time together which was not spent on fighting or anything, just the two of them hanging out a while. I also liked when Merry said thanks and smiled. She had a rough time, nice too her in a good mood. Darn the cliffhanger, now I can hardly wait to see the next episode! 5/5 although I'm pretty sure this anime could use a full season (26 eps), the peacing tells me that it is a bit cramped story-wise.

Even though I roughly now what will happen in the next episodes due to reading the manga, I still very much enjoy it. Merry is so <3. And yeah, John Doe will be back! And with some good stuff, that is. ;)

I can't say that this episode really explained that much, but it did give me a few things to think about. Apparently that vengeful Muma front he previous episode had a loved one that never returned from reality, and she's blaming a guy named Pharos and the Muma under him for it. I'm guessing that masked guy named "John Doe" from the first episode may actually be Pharos, but I don't have much to base that on for the moment.

It was a bit of a Earth shattering moment for Merry to discover that she hasn't been sending anyone back to the dream world, she's just been killing other mum a for ten years. That's a bit of a shocker, for her at least. I never actually thought she was doing anything less than killing them. Too bad her phasing out inadvertently lead to Yumeji sacrificing himself to kill her. I don't believe for a second that he's dead, but I am curious to see how the he'll he get out of this.
