A young man discovers a world within his dreams, that leaks out huge nasty creatures called Night Terrors into his reality through lucid dreaming. It's got the look of the colorfully enthusiastic Aoki Densetsu Shoot! placed in the dark worlds of Akira and Blade Runner which might not be all that original but is still appealing to the eyes. It's action-packed but so much that it's fast pace never allows for the heart to get attached to anything. One wishes just a few more minutes would be tagged onto it's 15-minute running time to allow for the viewer to familiarize themselves with one world before they're violently hurled in and out of the next one. Tied together with an album, a graphic novel, a comic book mini-series and forth-coming feature length film makes me believe this might just be a well-produced test run that will lead into something far more bigger and fleshed-out.
