Great review, Rev. Doc ^_____^ I have to say that I was a bit disappointed in this series. I totally agree with your review, but I tend to like much more action in my anime. I did find it reminiscent of Sentimental Journey for some reason. It could have been the music.
Anyways, you did a great review on it. I did prefer the subbed version, because of the accent they placed on Yume. I'm one of the people who find those overacted accents a bit irritating. -__-;; I would have probably rated it a 7.5 to a generous 8.

[size=84][color=seagreen]YOU SEE
You see into the deepest part of me ---
beyond the fog I hide behind.
You cast your light upon the shadows
that stretch like cobwebs in my mind.
You ease the pain when I am hurting,
and morbid visions from my past
pierce into the realm of Reason
as though I danced on blades of glass.
You grant me strength when I have fallen
and, once again, I've lost my way.
You take my hand in Yours and lead me
into the promise of a brand new day.
You bring order to all my chaos,
yet set my well-laid plans awry.
You place me on a firm foundation ---
then give me wings so I can fly.
You sand away my roughened edges
and polish all the dullest parts
until I stand before Your presence...
a newly-sculpted work of art.
You see into the heart within me,
right through my motives and selfish will.
And yet, in spite of all You see
You say You love me even still.

I loved this series a lot. If Fruits Basket is a 10 (which it is in my mind because it accomplishes what it tries to do in the shoujo genre), then Someday's Dreamers would have to be a 9, but a very affectionate one. Very slice-of-lifeish. I particularly liked the awesome animation and the way they set up the mage system. And yes, I saw this subbed, not dubbed, so the dubbing of Yumi wasn't a factor for me.

Thanks for the review. I agree w/ the 9/10.
A while back I rented it because I've always had an wondering eye for it... so I figured, heck why not? So I rented it. OVerall I really enjoyed it. Though, I did find one of the middle episodes to be a filler the rest were pretty much coherent. I found the series ended quite nicely; everything was settled and I was quite happy w/ the end results. The ending sure is a emotional one. So if you like those "slice of life" stories that have a pretty solid plot, I would highly recommend it.
SO yeah, accurate review
Oh yeah, like SManBeyond said, the animation was superb and crisp. Though I enjoyed the dubbed version
