A Note About Me

Review
At the point of writing this I have watched the first 8 episodes and can happily say this is one of my favourite shows in many years.
The show covers all the bases: it has an intriguing story full of twits and surprises throughout, impressive special effects in the dream sequences, a brilliant theme song, mythology and legend tied into each dream, a touch of sci-fi in the ability to record peoples dreams, a great cast of both adults and children with a bunch of really unique characters and the impossibly pretty Keiko Kitagawa in the leading role. There are darker themes such as murder throughout but also some great comedy moments.
During the first episode it came across a little cheesy and all round odd but entertaining so I kept watching and have just fell in love with all the characters and am already dreading the fact I only have 3 episodes left to watch.
I really have nothing bad to say and the show is really just incredibly unique to me. Anyone watching will find something they love about it, I'm sure.
