Series Review: Yumekui Merry

Yumekui Merry (aka Dream Eater Merry) ended up being a fun ride of a anime series. Which actually surprised me a bit. Here's a confession, I almost dropped this series after the first episode. You see, I wasn't that enthralled with the concept as described in the previews for the season. Show More Summary

Yumekui Merry 13 (Final)

Summary: OK, you’re just going to have to bear with me on this one. See, Leon’s gun does have bullets, just not powerful enough to kill Mistilteinn. Still with me? And he can make said bullet, even without Engi as a sacrifice. But he has to be shot by a bullet himself. Is it necessary [...]

Yumekui Merry Review - 80/100

If you’re looking for eye candy, then this is an excellent recommendation. Yumekui Merry is a piece of art, with some of the most artistic direction. Jut about every camera angle is interesting and dedicated to make its cast stand out. Every single background drawing is utterly gorgeous. With a rock-solid that brings a ton [...]

Yumekui Merry - 13

Agh, that was way too ambitious. With that, I don’t mean that this episode was rushed. This episode was well paced for the story that it tried to tell. On top of that, the direction was also as solid as ever, so there’s also nothing wrong with that. Instead, this episode flopped because of basic [...]

Yumekui Merry - 12

I’ve complained that Mitletein wasn’t really a villain that was threatening. She wasn’t portrayed well enough for me to really get the feeling that I should be wary for what she was able to do, and felt like one of those stereotypical evil villains. Okay, so this episode fixed that. It’s here where Mistletain set [...]

Yumekui Merry - 11

Well.. that was one heck of a villain fail. “I’m about to kill you! So that’s why I’m going to let you go and wait a few days.” I’m sorry, but you really can’t use those lines anymore in fiction! The direction still is excellent. This show does a terrific job at bringing its characters to [...]

Yumekui Merry - 10

This episode only affirmed the strengths and weaknesses of this series. It was a build-up for the finale (this series will have 13 episodes, by the way. It’s officially announced now), but it still showcased its rock-solid characters, excellent acting, and unfortunately not very ambitious backstory. This episode revealed the backstory of some of the [...]

Yumekui Merry - 09

Ah, of course. The thing with Merry is that its plot is very unambitious. It’s just Merry fighting a bunch of dream demons, with next episode the dreams of one of the side-characters finally put on the line. The teacher indeed turned out to be one of the bad guys, and Tachibana is his next [...]

YUmekui Merry - 08

Ah, thankfully this show is back on track here after that beach episode. The quiet scenes were as well directed and interesting to watch as ever, and the serious parts also showed a lot of new things about the characters. Yui’s father’s appearance also was probably the first time since a long while that I [...]

Yumekui Merry - 07

Aaaand we’ve got ourselves a beach episode here. I guess it was inevitable, with how the OP kept hinting at it, but it’s a good thing that this show is well written, otherwise it would have been a complete disaster, plus gg’s insert jokes are also getting on my nerves now (we know these fanservice [...]

Yumekui Merry - 06

I really have to praise the animators for the fight scene at the beginning of this episode, especially the inbetween animation was just amazing when Merry went berserk. And great graphics like these work even better when the characters themselves are good as well. I mean, Yumekui Merry did exactly what I hoped that Dragon [...]

Yumekui Merry - 05

I really like episodic series. Sure, they’re easy to screw up without the right execution, and their main storylines don’t become as smooth as series with a continuous story, but really: who cares? They’ve got plenty of ways to make up for that. This episode showed that even episodic characters are just awesome if they [...]

Yumekui Merry - 04

Interestingly, this episode showed that this show can be quite good at slice of life. A lot of this episode featured just random stuff as going to a karaoke bar, or characters randomly talking to each other. What makes these random scenes so good in this show is that they always manage to relate it [...]

Yumekui Merry - 03

So this is going to be one of those series that’s going to flesh out its setting with random episodic stories during the first act of the story. It makes sense, as it looks like the dream world has a lot of different features, and this way we can get a good look at the [...]

Yumekui Merry - 02

In a way, Yumekui Merry is quite similar to Madoka Magica: they both deal with magical girls, and both have gorgeous action scenes in a strange kind of dream world. After two episodes, I’m definitely liking Yumekui Merry more. It’s got some of the best direction of the entire season, plus it already packs some [...]
