This is Mikuri, our recalcitrant college-student hero.

Mikuri talks with his teacher . . .

And helps his compatriots fight evil in the spirit world.

The End.

RATING: C

Ok, aesthetically speaking, this series is executed extremely well, possibly using a combination of CGI and cell-shading. In retrospect, this level of quality is probably to be expected, since it was created by Namco, but still, it's great to watch a work of art which is clearly produced with care.

Aside from the rather disturbing transformation sequences, Yumeria has a snarky style reminiscent of Cowboy Bebob, but also shares rather sentimental moments from the likes of Hina. However, with that said, there's nothing here that hasn't been seen here before and, indeed, nothing that distinguishes this title from the crowd.
