Yumekui Merry 10 Review

Alright folks,here is the actual thing. Because I feel sorry for trolling all of you. (Not.)

 The episode starts off randomly... as Yumeji decides to see if Isana is posessed by a dream demon by doing his trademark....

BACTERIA? I THINK NOT.

 ...so he sees purple bacteria thingies, which mean she is. So he goes all Higurashi for a bit,with Merry looking at him in the distance,all concerned like the caring girlfriend she is.

Then cue the opening.

Hey look,IOSYS combined with plenty of navel action. (Just like a certain Dark Signer...)

As the episode starts, we see Kawanami running somewhere while being reminded of Mr.I-Forgot-His-Name-But-Laughs-Like-Kalin. Eventually, she stops and gets transported to the Dream World just like that. How convenient. We then meet some Sherlock Holmes-mecha styled dream demon ripoff (Leon to be precise-Kawanami is his vessel) who talks about a sacrifice...Isana,to be exact. But,Kawanami, being the tsundere-about-her-friendship-with-Isana, doesn't like it one bit.Meanwhile,Yumeji is lying down on his bed,thinking about childhood events and how "Isana shouldn't have gotten involved" and all that. He later gets his lazy ass off the bed, and into Isana's room. They talk about her paintings and what not, and Isana recalls that the night before,he was "all riled up" in his room,so she was about to check up on him when...

 

Male periods. Dads just know.

Her dad stopped her from going in,basically. She asks why he was so angry, and he explains under the false pretense that "I was just playing games" when actually,it was because he didn't want her involved in all this Dream World $#!&. She buys it anyways,as Merry (my wife) comes in with milk tea omnomnom, and admires Isana's painting.SUDDENLY,RANDOM CANS FALLING ON THE FLOOR SCENE WITH KAWANAMI. She starts reminiscing about the past while staring at (depressing D:)scenery. Her parents died when she was only a child, so it explains a lot about why she is so emotionally troubled and quiet. (inb4emo) It was rumored that her parents had a huge debt (inb4hayaterefrencehereandhowtheyshouldleaveherwiththedebt). Flashback scene:she travels (randomly and of course, conveniently) to the Dream World AGAIN,but this time showing how she became his vessel. She decides to warn Yumeji about the peril Isana is about to be in,as she is Isana's friend,and what do you know.

*insert raunchy fanservice scene here as she changes before warning Yumeji*

<3<3<3 :D

AHEM. ANYWAYS.

Before she leaves,Leon asks where she is going and she lies and says,"taking a walk".

Now back to Yumeji and co, as he is in the Dream World talking with a friendly demon,Engi and her (willing) vassal, Yui about saving Isana.

Attacked by chainsaw-armed transvestite zombies? Wicked.

Kawanami arrives at the cafe,just as a random scene between Takateru and Saki ensues.

I won't really go into detail about this scene,as they aren't major characters,but in a nutshell:

-They talk about Takateru's haiku/senryuu,and soon enough,Saki tsundere moment:

So thats how it is? Falling in love with an unimportant,ugly character instead of Yumeji? >:(

-Takateru explains his reason for making haiku/senryuu - its because of his imouto. 

Now we take to the Dream World...again.But this time, we see two random victims,about to be pwnt by Heracles,who IMHO has abs to rival that of even the most manly, buff people.Sadly, Heracles envelops those two in flames. Of hell. (*cough* *cough* inside joke)Which also almost killed his detestable servant, Landsbourough.He makes it out alive,unfortunately, and reports to Heracles about Yumeji and Co., calling them cowards...yet? -_-

Oh the irony

Landsbourough freaks out...like a coward after hearing Mistilteinn's name,probably because of the fact Mistilteinn is a psycho girl,who kills even her own teammates,as seen in Episode 9.

 Back to the Yumeji and Kawanami scene- Kawanami is warning Yumeji,which makes him reasonably distressed as she leaves. He runs after her like a guy who just got dumped to ask if she is their ally or not. She just walks away. (AKA DUMPED LOLOLOL.)

All of this is happening...as Mr.I-Forgot-His-Name-But-Laughs-Like-Kalin is randomly eating ramen at an unknown restaurant. And at this scene,it's pretty evident by now that Mr.I-Forgot-His-Name-But-Laughs-Like-Kalin is Mistillteinn's vessel; her shadow can be clearly seen against the walls.In the Tachibana house, Yumeji and Merry are admiring Isana's paintings once again,as Isana suggests to Merry that they take a bath together (sorry Yumeji,some other time.)

Correct response: "well then I'll peek tommorow...baby"

Finally, Yumeji is left alone in Isana's room,as he promises to himself to protect Isana no matter what. Awww,isn't that cuuuuute. And then the credits.

Coincidentally..the ending is made by IOSYS...with navel action. YET AGAIN.

CLOSING THOUGHTS:
Episode Rating: 8/10
-Needs more Merry x Yumeji >:(
-Major cliffhangers. I mean come on, I believe the anime is only 13 episodes, get on with kicking Heracles @$$!...unless J.C Staff makes another season,just like Index. But make the 2nd season airing quick,and not like Index.
+ Character development
+ Plot development

EDIT: It seems,as I have confirmed,that the anime plot differs from the manga plot significantly.  ._.
(And my wife Kawanami is an anime-only original character.)
