So I finished this mid and it was pretty mid but I noticed something that made me doctoos and either I need meds or deserve a media literacy phd.
<spoiler space ev&doe sncaI think it has vore as a thematic throughline. Eating is the VVill und representation.
<you can stop reading hereNow of course the title "dream-eater merry" is pretty obvious
the plot is exactly that: ppl have dreams and femMC eats xem because they're all le bad! or something (evendoe we find out killing dreams robs the human host of their will, yikes!)
the main antagonist of the series is "the jungle" (consult the image) a notably THIN twig who like femMC always complains about "not being satisfied" or something like that, yeah?
(Sidenote: in a sense she's the king of the jungle, ie top of the food chain)
the difference is in xer host: the Jungle hosts on the nip squads teacher Iijima, which, according to the anime can be read as "Meshijima" which means "meal island" according to jewgle translate when I switch from nip to chink, and like his namesake, he's constantly eating, thereby displaying his Will, which is to dominate his students and to destroy their dreams.
Merry herself also eats quite a lot: donuts, which are empty inside, this will be important later, I swear.
