Yes, my Internet speed, or more precisely, my Internet download speed is really, really, really (and by really, I mean really different from 1.5 months ago) slow. And by download, I mean downloading anime.
I know, I know, some of you don't approve of watching anime. I mean, it might be unhealthy, a complete waste of time, a carbon copy of cartoons except in Japanese, a portal to the demon world or some other crap, but I am truly drawn to it like a moth to a candle flame. Except that I don't burst into flames.
Right. I'm blabbering already.
There's so many anime out lately, so many series that I haven't completed, and some old ones that I am downloading on other's request. Still, I finished Yumekui Merry (Google it) and I find it one of the worst, if not the, anime out there. It could be said to be almost as bad as Pandora Hearts. But meh, I watched till episode 7 before, so I thought to myself, What the heck, I'll just finish it. Much of my brain cells has died after making that decision.
Ohh, spooky... I actually can't see a thing.
Merry is a random Muma (aka Dream Demon) from the Dream World. And she appears to be stuck in the human world, which is odd, to say the least. You see, Dream Demons live in their own special world, with their special shapes, sizes, abilities and pupils. As in pupils in the eye pupils. Freaky...
I have triangular pupils and I am angry.
So anyways, for Mumas to come into our world, they have to find a vessel, which is sorta like a host for a parasite. Anyways, the 'Dream' in Dream Demon doesn't really mean the natural phenomenon that happens in your mind while you sleep. The 'Dream' actually means your dreams or ambitions. Like you want to be superman or something, I dunno.
Well, let's continue. Mumas can be either good or bad, and their relationship with a vessel may vary. The bad Mumas usually take complete control over a vessel, locking up the original personality of the person inside. Good Mumas, like Engi Threepiece, do not take complete control over the vessel, but instead they may switch with their vessel and take over for a while.
What's so special about Merry then? Well, she's in the real world. And she has no vessel. And somehow she has the ability to go into other Dream Worlds, if not her own. So then they go on a rampage finding ways to send Merry back because she misses home, and a new enemy lurks in the shadow.
Her horizontal pupils are kinda cool!
But seriously, she is just this cute when she goes all Chibi.
Overall, it was rather boring and predictable, with the whole hero thing going strong. And no, Merry isn't the hero (or heroine), but in fact a normal kid with special powers that can see people's dreams. His name is Yumeji. He is normal and useless except that he too can go in the Dream World. Oh yeah, FYI, the occurrence of randomly entering the Dream World is called a Day Dream.
So, there's this guy named John Doe the Chaser who is after Yumeji's life (he only appeared twice) but then later decided that letting him go would be better. Than there's this guy named Pharos Heracles who is all big, mighty and scary and is supposed to be the one that lured all the Muma into frenzy to possess any vessel they can find. That's why he was known as the 'Lighthouse'. He was mentioned twice in the anime but never really made a debut. Like, WTF? ISN'T HE THE MAIN ANTAGONIST?
Whaddaya know, it's Chaser John Doe!
I'm Pharos Heracles. I'm big, I'm bad, and I never came out even once.
NO! See, there's this Muma named Mistleteinn, who is a real sadist. And like all shows, the sadist are all-powerful. Mistleteinn controls water and tree, is fast and agile, and is so OP that she can drag her own Dream World into others. Other than that, she can force other Mumas to possess vessels, then kill them again just for the fun of it. SEE, SHE'S SADISTIC! And she also eats other Mumas.
[Insert sadistic laughter]
Then, you know the rest of the story. An old friend turns out to be the enemy. Then they used the power of love, trust and friendship to destroy Mistleteinn yada yada they all won...
Predictable, no? But as I like to put, the ending was very potong, as in not clear and unfinished, as if the company was out of budget, which would most probably be true. Anyhow, like every show, there are both good and bad elements within the anime. Good thing, err, creativity in creating the Mumas? Bad thing, err, everything else? The graphic drawings are bad (I mean, who in the world cry out tear droplets the size of your fist?!), the fight scenes are crappier than my garbage can. I just hope the company doesn't try to make any anime in the mean time, especially action ones.
Well, at least the manga is WAAAAY better. I'm going to read it now. At least there are good characters that I like, despite the short appearances: John Doe the Chaser/Chaser John Doe.

THAT DOG BIT MY FACE OFF!
There's also his army of cats. They are funny. In some sense. For example...
Yo yo yo! Me no speak Americano!
On to the next topic. MIDYEAR TEST IS APPROACHING! I am so bad about studies, and I barely have the will to do it. I'm super lazy now, and holding an exercise books during the weekend makes it feel like a ton. Pfft, one day my head might explode. So many work, so little time.
IT BURRRRRRNSSSS!
I just hope that I can be more hardworking, and I hope that my calls for help doesn't go unanswered. And good luck to everyone taking that test.
HD Jr signing out.
errm.. i didnt exactly read everything.. just mainly glance through bout the stuff you wrote..so basically what you mean is that the anime you downloaded was a waste of time?
ReplyDeleteYes, that and it took so freaking long to download these days. And the fact that mid year is closing in doesn't really help...
