Weird episode lol

That pumpkin head guy gave me a weird impression with his personality. Then, there's the fantasy world (town of dreams?) itself with that girl. It felt kinda surreal how they're introducing these different settings with the fantasy elements.

Probably the most interesting short story so far, I still don't quite get what they are aiming at here but the visuals rock.

So this time it's the Country of the Dead, huh. Another really cool place, thematically speaking, and they have a nice little tradition with their stones. We also have a man, who lost his wife, and is still mourning, unable to let go of the stone which supposedly holds her soul; and his daughter, a girl who feels lonely. There's also the Town of Dreams, with some really cool concepts. I feel like the girl was only incidentally attracted there, it wasn't like she had something to gain, there's little value in being able to have anything when you don't want anything.

And she seemed to be losing something too, she did say she felt like she was forgetting stuff. But her father, who ended up there looking for her, was reunited with his childhood partner, and his dreams/imagination, so maybe now he will be able to move on, and be happier with his daughter, helping her to find a dream of her own or something. But this isn't over yet, there's that boy Yuu met; his friend might be that pumpkin mister, or even the girl's father or something, but this was yet another really good episode!

Dream country and Dead country had both fancy landscapes, overall this episode felt like Kino.

Felt like Alice in wonderland, or "Cosette in Alloween land".

It also seems like Yuu is drawn to this world of dreams and illusions judging by the memory. I sure hope it will be interesting and give us a true story than the previous ones. So far it's going well and I'm hoping they will link Cosette and Yuu well.

An okay episode,

Pretty nice visuals. It's a treat. Merc Storia isn't as dark as most of the fantasy this season, but this episode has that tinge of darkness. Just a small tad, just enough to change the tone ever so slightly.

Little late to be introducing a Halloween themed episode don't you think? LOL. Interesting episode anyway, the world of Alloween definitely had a Tim Burton influence in it.

"If you're not going to be nice to me, don't expect me to be nice to you."

"The world doesn't revolve around you. Get that through your thick skull."

Loved the atmosphere, prettiest world yet.

Plot though, was boring and messy. Very talky dialogue, but not much of it was crafted well.

Pumpkinhead is Koyasu, Cosette's father is Tattsun

This is rather interesting. I wonder what other mysteries lie in this dream world.
