Mermaid Melody Pichi Pichi Pitch Pure

Really loved it :). Better than the first season. Pros are that we are introduced to a hottie (Masahiro) and a cuttie (Nagisa). The mermaids songs still touches my heart and I will remember them.

I really like the art, music and characters but I find the story too repetitive. And I hate Mikaru and Fuku!! They are so annoying!!

Well... this sequel of mermaid melody, And its obvious... So lets start.

Story, enjoyment. I put an 8 becouse this story is much better than the first season. More action and less filler episodes, and this is why this season is more enjoyable.

Art. Art isnt so good. Big eyes, lot of colours and the same animated secuences when Luchia Rina and Hanon sings. Animation is really lame. Sometimes is really hard to see mouths moving when someone is talking. And when enemies and mermaids sing is really awful, same secuences as wee saw on first part

Character. Some enemies are new (except black beauty sisters). Most of new characters are enemy ones but really we don't have good development on them. While the main villian, Michel know his goals, all his minnions have no personality and they ony obey him just because. About the good ones... well, basically they found interest lovers for 2 of the 3 main protagonist. The green haired with the green princess and the blue haired with the Blue princess (or aquamarine). Lame.


Sound. This anime has a lot of music. The mermaids and so the enemies have their own song. The opening is the best of all mermaid melody openings and Seira song is the best song of all mermaids and Yami no baroque is the best song of the enemies. This song is of the Black beauty sisters.

Mermaid Melody Pichi Pichi Pure is the second series following Mermaid Melody Pichi Pichi Pitch. The other half of this super kawaii franchise was grown up, darker and very entertaining to watch. The 1st half left me SHOOK, as I thought all along the show would be childish and a waste of time, but I was wrong.

I LOVE this show, I did not want it to end.

Story: As I previously stated, the story is WAY more mature than it's predecessor. Luchia shows growth and control in dealing with her relationship with Kaito, and her two bffs Hanon and Rina also have love interests. In addition, we get great episodes with stories that still tie into the main plot.

Characters: You know how in the first series we didn't see much of the other mermaids? Well, you're in for a treat. Coco, Caren and Noelle all make respectable appearances and we get to know each of them a little bit better. We also get new villains and supporting characters (some being rather attractive) and of course familiar faces return.

Art: The artwork was the same as the first series. If you've read my review on the first half, you will recall how I noted that the animation is reminiscent of early 2000s anime and if the dub had been released in the U.S., it would've been on Cartoon Network or 4Kids TV or Kids WB (IMO).

Sound: The songs were BEAUTIFUL. I especially enjoyed the opening, "Before the Moment." I felt like the theme song fit the tone of the story perfectly; it was pretty and mysterious at the same time. (SN: my personal favorite song of this franchise is "Sekai de ichiban Hayaku Asa ga kuru basho.")

Entertainment: Unlike the first series, the music takes second place to the story line when it comes to what draws the viewer in. The troubles each character faces and fighting a new enemy is enough to make you binge 12 episodes in one day (yes, yes I did that...that's how I finished the show, actually...).

Overall, I give this show a solid 9 because it certainly earned it.

I do plan to read the manga because I'm not 100% satisfied with the ending and I will give my review on that.

The next MGA I'm watching is Tokyo Mew Mew, so please look out of that review in the next few weeks. Thanks for ready, sayonara!

Mermaid Mleody Pure. The sequel to Pitchi Pitchi Pitch. Honestly I wasn't keen on watching ths sequel because I expected a ton of angst. This, however, was actually better than what I expected.

Story: 9/10. The story picks up from the prequel where Kaito has to leave Luchia behind to figure out himself more. Many things simuntaneously happen, so we get to see many subplots here and there. The story is quite intersting, however, I'm a bit disappointed that it seemed to drag at the start.

Art: 10/10. The art hasn't changed at all. Everything is consistent and well made, and as usual there's little to no animation mistakes.

Sound: 8/10. Some of the songs really rocked, especially the villains's songs. I'd minus a point for rushing the amount of songs that the main trio gets, their second one was very underplayed.

Character: 6/10. The villains are really bland. Besides the fact that their aesethic differs, there's no exact fun thing to learn about them. On a better note, the new love interests are very amazing :).

Enjoyment: 8/10. This anime was actually quite fun. It wasn't entirely filler, nor was it filled to the brim with angst. It was quite a decent watch

Overall: 8/10. I like the prequel just as much as this one, however, Pure is much better in terms of story imo.
