For me, the show feels... medium. I don't hate it. I think I only barely like it, though. I'm starting to suspect that "dreams," as a theme, was a questionable creative choice. Among other things, the experience of dreaming is intensely personal, it's based in how our minds work, and our minds can work entirely differently. The show just can't capture that effectively.

I dunno how I feel about the leaning heavily into English. (I did love "I only speak English in my dreams," though.) I appreciate that they're trying, but it keeps hitting off notes for me around pronunciation and inflection. And I hate that I'm picky about that because I *know* that good foreign-language line reads are murderously difficult to get right in a way that doesn't come off as mildly cringe for different-language audiences.

I'll keep watching, though. Like I said, I don't hate it, but I suspect this isn't going to hit in the Gaim/Geats/Zero-One/Gavv sweet spot for me as a viewer.
