Synopsis

On his way home from school, Tatsumi sees a man collapsed near a lake. When he approaches him, Tatsumi notices something strange: the person in need of help is actually a beautiful merman named Wakasa! Because Wakasa's home has become too polluted to live in, Tatsumi graciously offers his bathtub as a refuge.

With a boisterous merman as his new roommate, Tatsumi's normal life won't be returning anytime soon, not to mention Wakasa's aquatic friends—Takasu, Mikuni, and Maki—often show up uninvited, making them all quite a handful for the high school student. As he humors their curiosity for human life, Tatsumi sometimes finds himself enjoying their childish antics, but he will have to keep his cool if he intends to keep up with his daily life and newfound friendship.

WOWOWO The dotty-otty reviews are back! At least for now!! On today's review we have "Orenchi no Furo Jijou" or "Merman in my Tub", let's go!!

-Story 6/10-
The plot is really simple "a I found a merman that didn't have a home and now he's living in my tub" each episode is pretty simple, following Tatsumi, Wakasa and their friends/relatives every now and then

-Art 10/10-
Art-syle was amazing. Something that I really want to point out is how the opening is "dramatic" and makes you think that you're about to see something super action packed yet the anime isn't that. Also I loved the character designs

-Sound 10/10-

A really short, simple, and sweet anime. With each episode only 4 minutes long, it’s easy to binge in one sitting or something simple to watch in your spare time. It’s a fun concept, and the characters were fun as well. The art style was nothing groundbreaking, but the animation was excellent. Binging this after some hard-hitting episodes of another anime was an excellent pick-me-up! Part of me wished there was more, either more episodes or longer episodes, but either way I actually loved the show. And if you’re unsure, it’s total runtime is less than an hour, so it’s not something big you have ...

Mixed Feelings
Everything you expect from an anime about a merman moving in to some dude's apartment. As far as I can tell, there's no story. It's just 13 4-minute OVA's. Characters are super gay merman, and the other guy. I don't think they have names, but that merman is one compelling, fully developed character. The struggle he faces of being driven out of his river home is just touching. And you also really feel the underlying statement about pollution of our rivers and natural areas. The animation is decent, though there isn't much to animate. I can't really judge it's animation honestly.There's nothing abhorrent, and it ...
