Waking up in a strange bedroom in a dream world, teenager Haruto Tsukishiro finds a strange app on his phone. When he activates the program, an odd woman appears and tries to drag him to her realm. Luckily, a mysterious, white-haired girl severs their connection and helps him escape, revealing that the woman is a witch; however, their conversation is cut short. As Haruto enters the realm again, he meets an anthropomorphic, talking cat named Katsumi Kanzaki. While the witch's minions pursue them, the white-haired girl opens a door for them to escape. After their ordeal, Haruto describes their savior—which only he can see—and Katsumi, the leading authority on dream world research, realizes that she must be "Lily," a being that resurfaces repeatedly across multiple dreamscapes. Hoping to leave the dream world through a blue door, they enter the witch's realm once again. Finding themselves in peril, Lily reveals the truth to Haruto: witches suffer from "Sleeping Beauty Syndrome," a coma-like sleep state induced by torment in their real world lives. Thus, they cannot wake until they are defeated in the dream world. After finally defeating the witch and locating the blue door, Haruto and Katsumi say their farewells, promising to meet up in the real world. However, when Haruto exits through the door, he awakens in the dream world bedroom once more. Seeking answers, Haruto and Katsumi try to uncover the mysteries of the witches, Lily, and Haruto's own inability to leave the dream world. [Written by MAL Rewrite]
Verified RatingThis episode made 18if feel even better. Haruto tries hard to help Mikami face his fate, but the ending really surprised me. I went from happy, to sad, to accepting reality. Even Katsumi and Lily’s complicated expressions already show how hard this decision really is. Watch until the end and ask yourself: if you were Haruto, what would you do?
Verified RatingEpisode 4 surprised me. I thought it would be full of blood and violence, but since Episode 3, the story has become much warmer and cuter. It’s still worth watching, but I feel the witch’s personal struggle is too simple. Also, after the witches wake up, their stories feel a little unfinished.
Verified RatingIt definitely earns some points for actually manage to talk to the main villain. It's not something you see often in anime. I did like the ending overall, but honestly, with better production quality, it could have been much better. Some episodes were fun, while others were honestly hard to follow.
