----------------------------------------
Tbh, I like the setting of this episode. It has more fantasy vibe with the cat eared character, strange eye thing in the background, and even the music works.

I can't help but laugh a little bit at Haruto's swimming suit though. Like it just looks silly on him.

Feels the story is really loose though for this episode. What did impress me is how surreal they made this episode. (music did a lot of work there as well).

The faces looked really weird in this episode. Visually, it was quite good. I really liked the music too. Haruto looked amusing in that fish suit and when he was posing for pictures. The girl with the cat ears is apparently a famous blogger. Professor K is a fan of her. She also likes strawberries and is not very good with words.

Okay! I'm ready for Haruto's backstory. In previous episodes, the flashbacks (if that's what they were) hinted at emotional neglect and pyschological abuse.

Lol, the dancing was strange xD

Looking forward to when the story will revolve more on Haruto next time.

looks like they are revealing Haruto's past next episode. i guess the show is gonna wrap up possibly indicating it'll be 1 cour only. it's also finally confirmed that Haruto has the "Sleeping Beauty Syndrome" too.

The animation this episode was probably the weakest one thus far, but the surrealness still worked for it. The backdrops were lovely to look at even though the people weren't. Ah, but I did like the design of the old woman.


These are some next level GMO strawberries.

Next episode should be good since we're going to finally learn more about Haruto and probably Lily too.

The quality of the animation really dropped hard this episode (like Bahamut). I hope that we finally get a couple of episodes that are linked together. I legitimately am curious to see how those people do... once they wake up (except the old lady, that was way too cruel!)

As in the description, this series is a multi-media project. So there might be multiple animator directors.

It's a different art style with some realistic motions (rotoscoping?). I liked it.

Wow! I like this ep
Art style in a lot of scenes is so good I wanna make it my background pic on desktop and mobile.
Music is a strong point too.
Although I don't actually understand a lot of stuff in this ep, I still like it

This animation was a little different from the other episodes... i sorta like it except the faces seemed weird... :/

I'm still wondering why Haruto is in this dream world and why he's traveling... did I miss something when I only watch half of 7&8. I just wondering if at the end Haruto was always in a dream world and he was a lonely otaku making this stuff if and HES A WITCH OF HIS OWN STORY.

Also who's lily... why do we know nothing about the main characters?
And that dancing scene? I'm sorta confused on this whole episode?

This show has completely gone off the deep end. The last few dreams have been really weird. The weirdness doesn't bother me per say but the witch's story just hasn't been good. Bringing it around to Haruto at just the right time tbh.

Haruto still hasn't woken-up yet right?
so this means that the past girls that he saved would pay back and save him from his slumber?
3/5.

So this episode was fun. Pretty sure i saw a couple variations in art style which we get every episode almost. I really like that. I can't wait for next week for when we delve into Haruto's story and why he's sleep.

I get the feeling that the entire episode is just a way to pun the average joe / jane doe thing.

The song is called "Chiisai Aki Mitsuketa", it's a really popular japanese children song written in fifties.

so many great osts here, paired with fantasy/techno psychedelic backgrounds, it's like swimming in album art.
Snake friend, unicorn, cats lots of weird themes.
So her witch power is being a ghost neet blogger who seems to create art/music, and eats strawberries.
Animation has a dynamic shifty, kinda Studio 4C feel. Paired with derpy Haruto & witch faces quite weird. That double slap lol.
Development for Haruto issue, and sis can see Dr. Cat now.

I also want to know for how long has Haruto been sleeping, as far as we know he could be like the iceskater, an old woman.
I wonder if the quality drop was made on purpose, you never know with this series
Although the argument in this episode is not as good as previous ones I liked the dream, all the acid trip worlds really feel like a dream

Jane Doe asked the question that I've been waiting to get an answer to. How long has Haruto been asleep? I also want to know why he's asleep. Is it Sleeping Beauty Syndrome? Is he in a coma? Looks like we'll be getting some answers soon.

Expected this chara/mov´ments style for the last two eps.
Pretty good dream sequences.

4/5 Lili wearing a "Char Aznable-like helmet"? o_O


@ZBlastHistory Jane Doe is nothing more than the female equivalent of John Doe. Aliases given to anonymous corpses, unknown (researched) people, etc.
They probably simply chose to adapt the jap.name used. Not sure if this was a decent US term for it.

Pretty cute episode

Hate John and Jane Doe names btw.
Sumitomo Hanako is such a pretty name
I like to post in manga forum when I feel it is worth it, so people think. "Shit, is her again" or something.

People asked me where I read certain thing but the rules say no telling where did you read so maybe I am too boring for not saying? Or salty because you didn't check my profile that says don't ask because I hate people to ghost me after that. I love learning languages so maybe I did not read the manga in English.

A lot of improvement, now Cat Profesor can see and talk to Lily, the witch seems know that Haruto was indeed get effected with the diseases too. The questions like the end, need more time to answerring it.

Haruto feels useless here, since he can't provide some good suggestion for the girl. Yet, the end might lead some creepy scenes, the entire episode quite fun to follow up. Eventhough the whole story still blurred, its okay while knowing this show dont give a fuck to assisting more explanations.

Okay. I just need to move on, and relieved all my stress out by watching this show.

The episode was trippy but it was not as confusing as many of the other episodes were! We also learned that Haruto is afraid of water! And i guess the Doctor can see Lily now? 0_o'

This episode captured will the absurdity and lack of logic associated with dreams. I also liked Hanako's wings animation. They weren't lying limp or moving randomly all the time. The movement looked real.

If there's any anime that could get away with not being understood, it's this anime.
