About Yume Tsukai

Here is what Yume Tsukai (夢使い) is about, retold in plain terms: a comedy, drama and slice of life anime by MADHOUSE (2006). The setup: When people dream, they express their utmost desires and emotions within the confines of their mind; but when their strong emotions cross the border into reality, the dream can turn into an uncontrollable nightmare. Touko and Rinko are sisters known as "yume tsukai" (dream users), and their job is to take care of these nightmares.

Beyond that: Using toys as weapons, the girls has to both destroy the nightmare and return the dream to its rightful owner before the nightmare does any sort of serious damage. Have no fear, Touko and Rinko are here!

As a comedy title, timing, character chemistry and running gags decide whether it lands. Hajime Tachibana (Tomokazu Seki) and Rinko Mishima (Kei Shindou) are two of the characters you will meet early. It will appeal most to viewers who want something light between heavier series. At 12 episodes in total, it is easy to plan a viewing schedule.
