Someday's Dreamers was an anime that I stopped watching and then came back to. I mostly didn't finish because I ran out of time, for I had requested the DVDs from my library. So I started again from the beginning, this time watching it in Japanese instead of how I'd previously watched in English.

Story

The story stands out because instead of magic-users fighting evil, these people are working for the government. Kikuchi Yume comes to Tokyo to be an apprentice to become a mage. The series is not long, only 12 episodes, but it is enjoyable. While there are some parts that are serious, others are light and refreshing.

Animation

While the faces and character designs are quite pleasing to the eye and the backgrounds are pretty, the animation seemed so choppy to me, like they didn't spend that much time on it. The movements didn't flow naturally and it was quite inconsistent. However, it wasn't too bad, and worked all right for the anime.

Sound/Music

I really love the music in this series, especially the opening and ending themes. The opening theme sounds so gentle and has a sort of melancholy feeling to it, while the ending theme is more fast-paced (yet still relatively calm). The soundtrack music works well with the series.

Character

I did enjoy the characters very much, although I'd have liked to see more character development, and this may have been because the series could have been longer than it is. Yume, the heroine, is a sweet girl who has the best of intentions, but things tend to backfire at her. There's the other characters: Angela, the British exchange apprentice with a sour demeanour and proud attitude; Oyamada, Yume's calm and collected instructor; Kera, the joking assistant bartender who works for Oyamada; and lesser characters that you meet along the way.

Enjoyment

Someday's Dreamers is mainly a show for young teenage girls, and it even has a bit of fanbase. Yet it is something someone would enjoy if they're looking for something calmer in an anime.

I reccomend it, and if you do watch it, it won't take too long to finish.
