Nobody talks about this one. A dream magician who eats happiness sounds like a one-joke premise until you realize the show is asking what it costs to live off other people's joy, and whether someone who feeds on contentment can ever have their own. The visual language shifts between the mundane world and the impossible architecture of dreams with the confidence of something that knows exactly what it's doing in a single episode. It's the kind of short that disappears from conversation the moment it ends, which means it's already been forgotten by people who should have remembered it.
Kaitou Yumenosuke is a dream magician with a particular appetite: he loves to eat the happy dreams of people. The entry is a single-episode music piece built around this dream-devouring magician and his fondness for the joyful dreams of others.
