I wonder what that was supposed to be on his head. A balloon? His dream?

I though it was his dream. After all, he said he wanted to forget bad dreams asap, and since he burned that thingy, I guess that was his nightmare.

Yup that was his dream. xxxHolic: Kei episode 4 has the same concept, the dream collector/merchant stores and sells his dream merchandise in balloons.

Apparently, Tortov Roddle sleeps with his hat on. :D

I want moar anime like that, I want a longer Aru tabibito no nikki


“Read as little as possible of critical or aesthetic works. They are either products of a close-minded spirit, petrified and devoid of meaning in their lifeless hardening, or clever verbal games [...]. Works of art are of an infinite solitude; nothing is worse than criticism for approaching them. Only love can grasp them, keep them, be just toward them. Always give precedence to your own feeling against these analyses, these reviews, these introductions. [...] You must let every impression, every seed of feeling, ripen within you, in the dark, in the inexpressible, in the unconscious, those regions closed to understanding. Wait with humility and patience for the hour of the birth of a new clarity. Art demands of its faithful followers as much as of its creators.”

At first it was quite weird but then it had a very relaxing atmosphere with the rain and all!

What a beautiful and expressionistic episode. I liked the dream as a balloon thing and the visuals of the number of bad dreams across the city. Was it a metaphor for depression, the rain coming down all around after all the nightmares? The balloon reminds me of that ghost balloon Pokemon stealing kids away.
