An intresting episode with some action and drama , Well i like Haruto's character and Lily's a cute loli <3 xD , Anyways that cat said when you die in a dream world you die in the real world but i think Haruto's got an ability or something , when he dies he resurrects again until he finds the blue door , I think that's the best theory i can come up with for now and that's why Katsumi ( the cat ) wanted to meet him in the real world to research and study him more ... I liked how Haruto defeated a witch with just words i mean a witch in a dream world is like a God she can control everything and make everything so yea it's pretty cool and an amazing achievement for a first timer in a dream world ... Anyways this is really thrilling i like it and ima keep my expectations up so i'm ready for more , Looking Forward !!!!

Not bad animation, the backgrounds looks decent for surreal dream. The premise so far looks interesting, but the execution and pacing are kind of terrible, some looks decent and the most were out of place. Gonna give another watch I guess.

I have mixed feelings about this one.

On one hand, I'm loving this dream world aesthetic, reminds me of LSD Dream Emulator. It's bizarre in a novel way, much like a real dream. I'm also liking the quirky camera work.

On the other hand, it feels like there's not enough method to this madness, as it's trying to make serious attempts at emotional character-centered storytelling without even really knowing how it wants to go about it. If they had a better writer on board, or even just made it an episodic slice of life in the dream world, this could've been a really good series.

Still, I actually like it so far, and I respect its commitment to being out of the ordinary, even if that doesn't pay off as well as it should.

Now I kinda want to go back and revisit FLCL.

"Are you into bondage or something?"

The OP song was cool. This has the potential to be great, as long as the plot delivery is smooth.

Totally this.

Can't really say where this anime is heading, so 5/10 for now
Trying to watch all available anime series so you won't have to anymore, the list of anime I can recommend is still in progress, tho

Yeah this was a very weird episode. I didn't know what to expect in this anime, but I honestly don't know what to think of the first episode. I thought the beginning was interesting, showing how weird the world is and everything. But I feel that Haruto resolved things way too fast with the thunder witch. It felt like he had a completely different personality compared to the beginning.

I have a feeling someone is in some sort of Coma like state. The fact that he has a sister in the dream world makes me think that either Haruto or the sister is in a coma currently and is trying to reach the other person.

It wasn't bad, but I think that the weirdness vibe they were going for is a bit too random and doesn't feel consistent. I feel like this dream world, should instead be based off what the person is feeling. It should be jealousy, anger, happiness, sadness, depression, etc. The current dream world we saw did not impress me since it felt too random. Hope the next episode is an improvement.

What a weird show. I will give it up to 3 episodes then I'll drop it. The concept itself is cool but it's not explained thoroughly and all over the place as everyone has been saying. The animation kinda reminds Uchouten Kazoku but way less interesting of a plot.

FlipFlappers... or at least trying to be. Let's see how it goes. Weirdly enough, no opinion so far, nothing stood out as particularly bad or particularly good.

This is my brain on drugs?

Maybe it should come off as psychedelic, but it's just... nothing? It's nothing. D=
And sorry, the camera is terrible.

I thought the synopsis could be interesting, but eeh.
MC is like "Am I still dreaming?" So, it's normal for you to have THIS sort of dreams and landscapes in your dreams lol?

The pacing is one of the most terrible I have ever seen and therefore I can't for no-personality-no-recognizable-design-"weird girl calls him Oniiiii-chan"-MC.

Ehh, I think I'll drop this, if the next isn't better. D=

It actually got a bit better and less boring during the second half. Like a mix of The World God Only Knows and Date A Live.

Haha, reading the comments makes me think most people not enjoying this have never watched Morimoto Kouji's previous works before. This is pretty tame compared to them as well, but then... he's only co-director here.

Really nice to see TeddyLoid getting to do another OP song, even if it's not as 'good' as his previous works. Still a nice song.

Gonzo only makes lackluster anime.

The OP was good.
The only real draw this anime has is that it's slightly trippy.
Everything else was "meh".

3/5
3/10 (likely to drop)

Why is this show badly rated? What the heck.

Fairly interesting ideas fleshed out in such stereotypically shit animation and half arsed direction...
What a surreal experience...just looking at this plunges me into existential crisis.

Pretty matter-of-fact about its presentation. Wonder if it will just be episodic without much follow up on previous solutions.

Trippy music best part.
What's with the penguindrum knockoff?
I like some of the dream ideas, but amateurish kickstarterish designs thx gonzo. Animation was ok tho, interesting directing with tons of split screens & tracking cam.
Cat va & faces awesome, like this dude already.
Mc doesn't die, & weird personality shift.
Sleeping beauty as witch in coma sounds very interesting as premise tho.

I just finished the first episode and while I was seeing it I was like "what the fuck am I watching?" the whole time. It's not the worst that I've ever seen and I'm a bit curious but, honestly, I don't know if I should still watching it

Each episode is different. Even the art style changes.

So they adventure to the dream world? The art was absolutely stunning, full of color. I like this kind of thing. The animation is not bad at all, especially with the characterization. All of them seems normal and easy to follow up. I don't really feel that this show had a lot of trouble. It is still easy to understand the whole storyline. Idk why people dont like this thing, lol.

However, i still see something fishy on this show. Need more episode to understand 5W 1H, like why Lily there? Who is Lily? And else.

This anime has my brain going in all places, a mind fuck so to speak! I really liked the OP though! But i was confused about the ending of this episode, did he wake up for real? It seems like he is waking up inside the dream sort of like a ''Dream loop'' Hope this get's explained in episode 2

this episode was both overwhelming and boring at the same time. watching 6 minutes and 39 seconds of the first episode ruined my day. do not watch this show unless you like hurting your eyes, brain, mouth, nose, fingertips, and brachialis.
