Astray in a Dream
Alex: The animation here really…rocked, lol. That scene where Merry went berserk and showed her true nature as a Dream Demon? Amazing. Utterly amazing.
But yeah, this was your “calm before the storm” style of episode, where a lot of facts get revealed thanks to John Doe and his kittie servants. We also find out that people are suffering from “Dream Loss” when they get their dream dreams taken away. We see a few of the characters who Merry “saved” return, but completely shallow and hollow, not wanting to do anything but give up on life. So then, are Dream Demons the “badguys”, or is Merry the “badguy”? I love it when a short series can pose a question like this.
