The Dreaming Boy #01 — “How Dare You Talk to Girls!”
July 3rd, 2023
I don't miss these shows at all.
Impressions:
The best I can say about this is that it's kind of reminiscent of the teen drama harem light novels that were popular a decade ago. Your Haganai, Snafu, etc. Shows that I despised even back then, and do not miss at all, but of a time where there weren't a half-dozen cheat power reincarnation shows in a good season. Well, and I guess there's essentially no internal narration explaining and re-explaining every character and all their relevant traits. That's… not nothing, I guess. Which is about where the production was at for this show too. Not that it requires much, but it's been a pretty awful showing so far for animation this season.
Anyway, the protagonist stutters his way through every female in the world lavishing him with attention and fussing over him because he all of a sudden got a little mopey, but since we saw him for all of five seconds before a soccer ball EXPLODED HIS WORLD, all we have is all the other characters repeatedly telling him that he used to be completely different. Pour one out for the fortunate fourth haremette who just had to gasp this week before running off as she made her obligatory appearance. Earn that check, VA. His contribution to about 90% of the conversations are "U-Uh" or "W-What?" while the girls hover around him like hens, all deeply concerned about his love life even while he continues to be a creepy stalker despite saying he's stopped. No, dude. You're just a very little manic-depressive, and the whole harem is coming together to throw themselves at you, as they do in this kind of show.

I…just didn’t understand this one, this was beyond my comprehesion. I get the overall idea, guy stalk, gets get stalked, guy stops stalking girl misses being stalked because was just being tsundere. Its just…the whole episode felt…off the way all the behave is so…weird, It feels like the invasion of body snatchers or something, not a single person here behaved remotely human
