Pretty interesting anime, and slow-paced as well. I also like how Merry has frog-like pupils.

[shinta|hikari]

Ii de heso~

I like the action choreography and pacing so far. The style of Mary's movements were pretty interesting.

[Dark Dragon]

That and sheep eyes.

Interesting show for sure, it's a bit darker than i originally thought.

[Kraco]

I liked the mystery feeling and the quite sharp looking but largely unexplained, mystic characters. Especially so far John Do (with his awesome VA), but also Merry. Let's hope the dude learns to put his talent also to better use than simply amusing girls (not that there'd be anything wrong with that either...).

[RyougaZell]

For being a show Im jumped without even reading the summary or randomc's thoughts... I was pleasently surprised. Merry was fun to watch. I'll be following this.

[KrayZ33]

/a/ seems to love this show, I'm going to watch this tomorrow
will edit this post if I like it.
pictures posted so far were pretty good looking, we'll see

edit: couldn't wait and watched it just now, wow!
I have high hopes for this show, its really mysterious and somewhat spooky
feels a bit like Alice in Wonderland for me so far, maybe because of the cats.

Hmm, objectively I liked this show (art and animation, character costume designs), but subjectively it didn't quite hit the mark. It's not bad by any means. It's probably the immersion factor again.

For one, the fish-bone CGI ticked me off ever so slightly.

Nice episode, dream eating daemons
I really like the character-art/animation, the girls look beautiful

and what the hell is up with that father, haha

didn't like the "you can stay here if you have nowhere to go" part right after they met very much
Maybe I've missed something but how could the father or the girl know that she has nowhere to go? It's not like they found her drunk in the streets.
I mean I would ask who she is/where she comes from and what happened before I tell her something like that.

[Kraco]

and what the hell is up with that father, haha

Nah, the father was cool. Because he was voiced by Ali Al-Saachez's VA.

Besides, it's obvious a girl that weird has nowhere to go - unless it's back to some unspoken laboratory.

no [gg] alternative yet?

no [gg] alternative yet?

You have two other choices.

[Buffalobiian]

Nah, the father was cool. Because he was voiced by Ali Al-Saachez's VA

-Has a scar
-Has awesome hair
-Smokes casually
-Of mature age
-Stays up late at night (but not playing games)
-Does not pry, yet knows enough to say what he needs to say


Everything that makes a male character cool? I think so. (except maybe sunglasses).

On the other hand, Merry hasn't quite got my support. If there's one thing that puts me off female character designs (besides oversized bosoms, thick lips and braided hair), it's fangs.

Why couldn't Isana be the main lead

[shinta|hikari]

But I like Merry de heso~

[Nadouku]

I hope John Doe makes some more appearances. I seriously like his character.

[Archangel]

I hope John Doe makes some more appearances. I seriously like his character.

Duh? A red demon concealed by a mask and voiced by Alucard? What's not to like?!

[KitKat]

Well, looks like we've made it to the formalizing of the Dream Demon Fighting Duo. Merry with her fighting skills, and her little sidekick to find out where they will appear. We've also been given a little look at what looks like the End Boss character from the dream world. I foresee a number of predictable 'dream demon of the week' type episodes, with each one dropping little hints until the End Boss is reached and confronted, Merry's past is revealed, etc. etc. I can't say I'm expecting much from this series plot-wise, but it's entertaining enough that I'll probably keep watching.
