Yume Oukoku to Nemureru 100-nin no Oujisama

A better effort than Senjuushi, just with subpar story plot, art and animation. That's all folks! Or was it...? In the times of recent, there is more anime popping up hoping to garner the niche female target audience, and yep, we all know how all these end up: un-original, un-inspiring and boring. And Yume Oukoku to Nemureru 100-nin no Ouji-sama (The Dream Kingdom and the 100 Sleeping Princes) is no different. Welp, another reverse-harem isekai? No, not anymore, yadda yadda, so please stop! Story; Can you believe it? Senjuushi-esque formula with ACTUAL plot! (Nah, just kidding, not a good one either.)Just like Senjuushi, don't expect the number in the title to purposefully reflect itself in the anime as it has a lot of loopholes apart from the game source. Now I have never played the game, but after watching this adaptation, it's immediately apparent that the production staff didn't have a complete whack of ideas how to progress this, and just said: "Hey, let's dumb down the game representation to our kingdom Princess and the various male Princes and let them commune with one another! And while at it, let's have some dream-eater villains participate in what seems to be some nonsensical stuff!" And believe me, I was stoned from beginning to end, no feelings, no cheats. Director Yukina Hiiro, coming from her hit series Hitorijime My Hero, most likely did not find anything to talk about the source material, but tried the best she could to accommodate, and the sorry ass effort of the production staff backfired much. Characters: Let's just say that with the boring storyline comes equally boring MCs: namely the curious late-actress Princess of Traumere (it's so weird that she is not given a name, but then again it won't help either), and the 2 main princes (Avi and Kihel) who are like her personal bodyguards, travelling with her on the journey to rid of dream-eaters who are attacking the "many" Princes who have their dreams stolen. Other than that, the character designs are unappealing (female fans cry out loud?). Art and animation: I have never expected anything from Project No. 9, much alone their prowess in quality animation. The initial moment this anime appeared in the beginning with no studio representation (in MAL), I fully know the extent that this anime will fly under the radar and be unnoticeable for the future to come. The last time the studio was impressive (by that I mean the highest-registered MAL score) is on Ryuuou no Oshigoto this Winter and Netoge no Yome wa Onnanoko ja Nai to Omotta? in 2016. That should tell you how much quality was sacrificed to input for good storytelling. Music: At least this series had the cheek to have a decent OST. Both the OP by Moumoon and the ED by Prince Avi and Kihel are pleasant indeed to listen to. But that's the only good thing to make this series stand out and be noteworthy. Other than that, there is nothing much to say about everything else. I will say this much: Unless you are a female fan of such anime like this AND are invested in the game, check this out. To the many others, just let this glide through your list, forget all about it and go for others instead.

TL;DR: Don't even bother. L;DR: On one fine morning, I crawled out of my dumpster and went to twitter for a morning's perusal of Kappei Yamaguchi's account. He'd retweeted something from an account called "yume 100," and being as nosy as I am, I realized he had voiced a super-minor character in this mobile otome game I'd never heard of. I love otome games, hitting the genre's peak demographic, and my curiosity dragged me to this MAL page. Well, Mr. Yamaguchi himself doesn't appear in this anime, but hey, I like ikemen, so I thought I'd give this show a shot. Why am I telling you the storyof how I wound up watching this anime? Probably because it's a more interesting plot than the one actually presented in Yume 100. Don't ask me to summarize the plot because I don't think I could tell you any of it, despite having finished this show literally minutes ago. And characters? With a personality about as charming and and intriguing as a plastic water bottle, nameless-protagonist-heroine-princess provides little of substance to this anime. Luckily, her two male (princes, of course) companions are very good looking and also have something resembling a personality, and are probably the only things that kept me watching this thing till the end. Do you want story? Yume 100 doesn't have that. Do you want romance? Somehow, Avi and Kihel have more tension than Princess-heroine and... anyone. So this is the wrong place to look. Do you want worldbuilding? Hey, nothing here makes sense. What is Traumere? Eh. What kind of world is this? Who cares. How does this "dream" thing work, that big plot point about dream-power? Beats me. It's like if someone played a game of telephone and told Yume 100 "hey, remember, when world building, show, don't tell, okay?" and then Yume 100 went, "Okay, don't show, don't tell!" Do you want animation? I think if I misclicked my tabs and ended up watching one of my fourth-grade power point presentations with all of the crappy transitions included, I would still be witnessing better animation than Yume 100. It's not terrible(?), but I really could not believe this show came out in the last couple of years, since the quality makes me think of the 2000s. The character designs could be horribly off model at times, and the "fight" scenes reminded me of stickman flipbooks I used to draw in the corner of my math textbook. It's not good, folks. Do you want... like, anything? Let me give you a MAL tutorial real quick. You press the "anime" button at the top, then you press "top anime," and there you go--anything from 1 to 4,000 is more worth watching than this white bread of a show. But, to be fair, my otome-game-loving heart still kind of enjoyed Yume 100. Yeah, it's mindless, trashy, and terrible in every sort of way, but then again, so am I.

I initially started watching this anime, as the story seemed interesting; I knew that otome game based anime are not always the best, as the protagonist is usually kind of empty, but this show won over all the empty characters out there. I have NEVER seen such a plain, boring, and lifeless protagonist in any other show. Watching her adventure bored me to death, the only parts that kept me from abandoning the show are the boys' scenes, who try to cheer up the mood with some funny vibes, but are in any case destroyed by the inconsistent plot. This anime really sounded great reading theplot, and it's a pity that it turned out this bad. I'll pray for a better remake. :)
