Yumekui Merry 1 & 2

Episode 1 ~  This may be freaky season, This and Madoka are pretty far up on the Huh? Scale.

We have...

Yumeji Fujiwara;  Pretty much a ordinary student... other then the fact he dreams of talking cats attacking him and can see auras of people's dreams. His own aura is black... which means nightmares... damn cats.
      Leaving school he has a strange girl fall on top of him, apparently the black birds were attacking her. In the chaos of the bird attack/falling she looses her hat and she runs off after it.
     After parting ways, Yumeji finds said hat that is being carried off by a black kitten... experiencing deja vu of sorts he's pulled back into the "dream world" and there be the  floating bone fishies, talking cats and their "Boss".

Merry Nightmare;  The girl who fell on top of Yumeji... In her quest to find her missing hat she stumbles across Yumeji in the "dream world".  How did she get there? Who knows.  It seems she's actually from the dream world and just accidentally went into the human world.... She first saves Yumeji from the bad guy before nearly begging him to help her back into her home world.

The Bad Dude;  John Doe.   That's right, his name is John Doe.  What sort of name is that? He's looking for a way out of the Dream World and wants to use Yumeji's body for a vessel into the real world. He and his cat army are defeated by Merry before wandering back into the Dream World... Giving her no help or even a clue of how to return herself.







Episode 2 ~  Kinda glad this one got better with the second episode...

What we have;  After Merry fainted at the end of episode one, She wakes up at Isana's house. When Isana enters the room with a little chit-chat Merry is a bit grumpy...and hungry. Merry is a very grumpy lil demon... After food, a little more chit chat and discovering doughnuts {that she loves} she sneaks out in the middle of the night while people are sleeping.   {Isana's dad "catches" her and tells her she can come back anytime}

Dream Demons;  Living in the dream world some dream demons wish to enter the real world, they normally enter one of two ways.. by taking over a "host" or coexisting with them.  In Merry's case she came into the real world as herself... no vessel was needed. How she did this? She's not sure. She has very few memories..

Back at school...

Creepy Girl

Chizuru Kawanami; The mandatory transfer student, She's creepy... She doesn't talk much and seems to just stare off a lot.   Odds are she's some sort of strange demon or possessed or something....

Mr. Ijima; He's their teacher, He loves rice...lots and lots of rice.  He's also a little on the suspicious side but I doubt it's anything.







Yumi & Serio; Serio is a dream demon, he came to Yumi in her dreams and convinced her to allow him to posses her but... live together with her.  He's a little voice in her head that apparently has helped her fulfil her dream to become a nurse...
      These two are where things get interesting... While walking home from school Yumi comes across some medical scissors and as she reaches for them she is warped into the dream world.  The dream is not her own {or Serios} and it gets a little freaky.
      Bear traps and chains attack the two of them, Each of them helpless to save the other. Serio walking towards Yumi to try to help her, the chain tightens and a voice is heard.... Multiple large "traps" open from the ground and crush {trap?} Serio.....   Back in the real world Yumi drops her school bag and walks away distant and empty....

At the end, Merry is set on not needing help but Yumeji is set to help her any way he can.

Tidbits; Merry loves doughnuts and doesn't seem to like carbonated bevs.

Words;  The first episode wasn't that interesting, This second one was really slow to start... The twisted dream world that "killed" Serio has me wondering about things though.
