I could see this appealing to a young (teenage male) audience.
I had seen some pretty mediocre reviews for this online at other sites. Then I saw some great reviews here and decided to buy it…
I’ve been betrayed by the reviews here a couple times… and I thought this would be different but it wasn’t.
It isn’t remarkable… there is plenty of fan service… but this holds little else of value in my opinion.
It is pretty middle of the road anime. When it was over my wife and I were not excited to see a follow up if there is one…
So here is my breakdown:
1) The art: Pretty average. It reminds me of stuff you would see from a low budget project. Compared to the cover art it lacks considerably. The production quality isn’t the highest I’ve seen when it comes to the art.
2) The audio: I really enjoy bubbly anime soundtracks so I found that to be the best part of this anime. The audio is fun and playful so I really liked it… The audio is why I bumped this from 2 stars to 3.
3) The Boxset: Again pretty average the back particularly suggests some fan service and this does well in that department. The fan service isn’t so “in your face” that you are offended but they lay it on pretty thick. The box is pretty standard. It does however look good in your collection.
4) The Characters: The depth in the character development is done pretty well. But it follows the standard harem anime formula. One Lolita-type, One Mature and Sexy, One very young and playful, and two that you are closer to being at odds for the affection of the target male.
They do make some effort to give you the back story for each character and that part is done pretty well… again another one of those items pushing this from 2 stars to 3.
Each of the female characters has a unique characteristic that make them attractive in their own way. One is soft spoken and needs the “night in shining armor”. While the other plays out a motherly roll. Etc… Etc… They all have characteristics that appeal to men in one way or another.
The plot and story are pretty much there to showcase the girls… and there are some plot twists that are obvious from the moment you start watching the first disc. REALLY obvious plot twists… it is almost insulting to your intelligence.
Again this isn’t meant to challenge your intellect or bring any new paradigms to the anime viewer… it simply is very average work.
Not bad… not good…
Just OK.

After finishing up the entire series yesterday, I felt funding for the show ran out because the ending comes at you so fast, you don’t even realize it’s over.
This has a major drawback, in that character development suffers. There were so many questions left to answer (how was regeneration accomplished through decades? Why Noneko? How did “they” (spoiler free) split at the end?)
This series should have been 26+ episodes as the storyline was definitely creative to do so. Despite the extremely short series, it’s entertaining to watch.
For those with children 13 or younger, the sexual innuendo in the show may not be suitable for them. No nudity, but definitely contains scantily clad teenage girls (Mone and Noneko are young and the “lolita” references are common in the show).
For those who don’t like “annoying” characters, Mone only says “Mone” throughout the entire series. That ended up annoying after the first 10 minutes of the show. If you can get past this, enjoy the episodes.

I won’t repeat the storyline. The animation is good and the characterization is as well. (Even if a little generic). Worth watching in either the dubbed or the subtitled version. Dubbing is very good, keeping the spirit and humor of the series. I’ll say it’s not spectacular, but it is above average. Voice acting is excellent, especially “Mone” who manages to convey her meaning throughout the series with only the word mone as dialog. It was worth the price.

Yumeria: Complete Collection While it wasn’t exactly what I thought it was it was still good. The art work is very good and the story arc is not bad. I would have appreciated better development of the story however. I have the feeling that they tried to include every thing in to short a space and it would have benifited from more or longer episodes. Overall I would recomend it as an evenings pleasant entertainment.
