Yumekui Merry ep 1 - Oh dat midriff!

Oooohhhhh boy. Seen three shows so far from this season, three great female leads, and Merry actually takes top honors. Wonderfully imaginative character design, great personality, and I died a little when she teared up.

I didn't quite enjoy her show as much as Madoka's, however. The dream world sequences were fantastic, and you can't really have much more fertile ground for imaginative visuals than dreams, after all, but the flip side of this is that I didn't feel entirely "into" the show after just one episode. I think it will come, and there were one or two little personality quirks in the other humans that have potential, but it was a slightly slower and maybe more vague beginning than some others. The character art felt a little inconsistent, too, but I'm prepared to take that as intentional given the nature of dreams and reality in the series.

Nakata Jouji overplaying it perfectly as John Do was fantastic, too.
