Originally announced in the middle of its run this past February as licensed by Sentai Filmworks, we’ve heard little about Dream Eater Merry ever since which has been strange. Originally expected to be a subtitle only release, which would mean a relatively quick release, it’s been revealed via the video below from Sentai’s David Williams that the show is indeed getting a dub and will be getting a high definition Blu-ray release as well. The thirteen episode series aired from January to April of 2011 with animation by JC Staff based on the manga of the same name from Ushiki Yoshitaka that runs in the seinen magazine Manga Time Kirarara Forward.

Plot concept: Yumeji Fujiwara, a young male student like any other, gained the power to see the aura of other people’s dreams, and is able to predict what kind of dream they will have next, after an event that occurred 10 years ago. Since then, he started to have weird dreams with cats following him for an unknown reason, where he learns thanks to the boss of the cat army, John Doe, that his body is needed to access the real world. One day, as he was about to come back home after his errands, a mysterious girl falls on top of him. This girl, called Merry Nightmare, is actually a dream demon, who’s searching for a way to come back in her world. As Yumeji decides to help her, the gate to the world of dreams opens again, this time in full daylight. She appears in the daydream world and wards off the Dream Demon “Chaser John Doe” looking for an answer to how to get back to her world. It seems as if John Doe knows something about Merry. Meanwhile, an evil dream demon named Pharos Hercules is leading other dream demons to make humans into their vessels in order to raise an army, killing those that oppose him which causes humans to lose sight of their goals and ambitions.
