Yurume with psychic powers does not fall on my want list.
What They Say:
What would you do if you won 100,000,000 yen?
The Review:
Content: (please note that content portions of a review may contain spoilers)
Whether you’re young or old, it’s always good to dream. Sometimes what inspire the dreams is kind of silly or banal, such as Yurume’s idea here of having a lot of money in order for it to not be fall so she could eat whatever foods she wants. It’s a big game of “what if” here that goes into play as they’re all asked what they would do if they had a hundred thousand yen. Seeing their dreams if they had a lot of money is amusing in its simplicity, from new bedroom sets to just bathing in the money. They take it a bit further in asking what kind of psychic powers they’d want and how they’d apply them, which is definitely cute. Like their money dreams, there’s some basic banality to how they’d use it, but it fits the show and you have to grin and be scared at the same time.
In Summary:
With the focus on the three main girls and then a good dose of Matsukichi at the end, the show has some cute bits to it as it goes along. Dreams of what you’d do with a lot of money are always fun to see play out, both in dialogue and the dream sequence itself, as is what kind of psychic powers you’d want since it falls into that whole superhero category. There’s some base desires going on here in some ways, but mostly we see that these kids really just don’t dream big in general and that has its own laughs. But I’d love to see some big dreams out of them and what they’d do with real power.
