Akumu-Chan Sparks a Childhood Memory...

Princess Keiko in Akuma Chan 

Watching this past week’s episode of Akumuchan where an enchanted Keiko Kitagawa romps through the lands of her dreams and chows down on a magical house made of out of candy and cookies reminded me of a hilarious comment my sister had made when our mother was reading Hansel and Gretel to us as kids...

The Fairy-Tale House of your Dreams!

 My mother read, "...And soon Hansel and Gretel came upon a house made entirely out of cake, candy and cookies! The two hungry children ran up to the house and began eating from it, pulling off candy canes and cupcakes and stuffing themselves, when...” “But MOM!” my sister interjected, “If that house was made of candy, what about the cockroaches?!” My Mother assured her it was a MAGICAL house, and therefore had NO bug infestations!

Cookies, Candy, Doughnut, and YES, even Waffles!

  Another funny comment made by my sister was when our mother was reading “Goldilocks and the Three Bears”, though I think only those living in Hawaii will understand it: As my Mother read, “Goldilocks had fallen asleep in the Littlest bed, when whom should come home but the Three Bears!  Entering, they had no idea that someone had been in the house ‘til they saw the bowls of eaten porridge…”   “But MOM!” my sister cut in again, “Wouldn’t the Bears have known Goldilocks was inside because of her slippers outside?” LOLOL! Anyway....

Back to Reality with Yuka and Keiko

“Akumu-Chan” continues to be a fascinating tale as long as it’s focused on the subject of dreams, dreaming and possible precognition, but sadly, for the most part, this show is turning into another “Students with problems gets help from Unorthodox Teacher” kind of drama. Too Bad, because the Dream-theory part of the show rocks, the characters are totally engaging and it is funny as heck! This show needs more dreams, less reality! AHAHAHA!
