Yume Tsukai

I've actually watched the Yume Tsukai anime first. Because I enjoyed it, I took a look at the manga version which is quite different.

The anime has a different "case" nearly each episode (although there's a plot ongoing in the background throughout and climaxes during the last two episodes). It's still surreal and stuff, but the manga has a higher "weirdness level" to me (and one case could last over a volume). The really detailed backgrounds, mechanical beings and other weird creatures contrast so much with the simple style the humans themselves were drawn in. I also found the stories in the manga more "strange" than the ones in the anime, but I won't go into that.

I guess I'm actually quite attracted to some forms of surrealism, even if they're mainly those in anime or manga (since I'm frankly not interested in art in general).

There's this mysterious quality to them that's hard to put in words. That's the beauty of art, I suppose.
