Synopsis

Legend has it that when you eat the flesh of a mermaid, you would live forever. Yuta and Mana are living proof of this.. Together, they journey to various places trying to find meaning for their existence, or perhaps even a "cure" for their situation. One day, Yuta and Mana meet Masato, a little boy who seems terrified of his mother Misa. It seems to Yuta and Mana that mother and son have a very unusual relationship. What happens when Yuta and Mana decide to discover the dark secret Masato and Misa are hiding? And what about those monster-like creatures that have been appearing?

Undoubtedly Mermaid's Scar is one of the most underrated anime around. Start with a creepy and well-crafted plot that snugly fits into the 45 minute runtime, throw in some moody music and top it off with fluid animation and atmospheric art and you get this: a lost gem from the waning but still golden years of classic horror/sci-fi ultra-violent anime. See this.

Recommendations

Both talking about immortality, how to get it and the failure that could happen for those who want it. The two main characters are a couple, that met each other in different centuries, and trying to stay together.
The same dark ambiance.
