Story: Basically it's another "Magical Girl" anime plot, a girl who has the ability to transform must fight this evil group of villains with her friends/comrades as a Super Sentai team. The unique part of this anime is that the Mermaids don't attack, they SING, and their songs are painful to the villains' ears. Other than that, it's all cheesy. Art: This depends on how you look at it. To me, the dresses for Lucia, Hanon, and Rina are full of many colors! (Practically every shade of pink, aqua, and green respectively.) On the other hand, the characters' appearances read more
One of THE longest/repetitive names I've ever seen for an anime. And the name it's self probably grabbed your attention if the art didn't, or the fact that this is a MUSICAL anime. The Story is pretty bad, It's full of gaps and is very jumpy aswell as questionable. The anime is full of fillers, and tends to only focus on Lucia, Hanon, and Lina, the "Primary" mermaids. (They're the only one's with new songs, and imagesongs of their own, Excluding Karen.) The "secondary" mermaids are not ever acknowledged, they don't have background stories, lovers for themselves, or anything the Primary Mermaids read more
However, if you like magical girl series and cute character driven stories, I believe that Mermaid Melody might just be right for you. Keep in mind that the target audience of the seres is very young, but an older person can still enjoy it. The baseline story isn't very complex, which is fine. It is essentially about mermaid princesses who are temporarily living on land who fight the evils dwelling below the sea....with music. For some known reason, singing read more
Story: (3) The story is really bad. Other than the small twist with the girls being mermaids and fighting enemies with music, nothing about it was interesting or original. We basically just watch the characters mingle a bit, an enemy appears, then is "destroyed" by the mermaid's singing. That sums most of the episodes that I watched. Art: (7) Best part of the series. Even then, the character designs weren't the most original and read more
It's about a girl's life, Luchia. When she was young she saved a boy's life by her pearl.They fall in love with each others. However this pearl was the key of her voice to sing. Later she has to change into human and get her pearl back from that boy because sea is in danger and her voice is needed too. Not so long later there will be friends who fight on her side. They are Hanon and Lina. Hanon is a happy girl who always smiles. Lina is the totally opposite of Hanon. She rare smiles and read more
The songs get boring after awhile. read more
Finished: 7/30/17 I first discovered this show 10 years ago (back in 2007 I was 13 and in the 8th grade, I was preoccupied with other anime) and I saw fan AMVs of Mermaid Melody and I passed it off as another typical MGA (Magical Girl Anime). During that time I'd only ever believed Sailor Moon, Cardcaptor Sakura and Mew Mew Power-the 4Kids dub- to be the only MGA that mattered. Now, I’m 23 with a small child and I want child appropriate anime for him to watch. This is perfect. Story: the story was nice to follow, even with a slow start, it eventually left read more
THE CONSTANT SINGING...THE CLICHE CHARACTERS...THEIR LOVE INTRESTS...I can't explain how horrible it is. There are a lot of shojo animes out there, but this one stands out by far, for being SO bad! If you like complete lovey-dovey shojo stuff and your childhood princess was Ariel, then by all means watch it! This is coming from a girl by the way.
My first impressions of the anime: Bad art, annoying voices, and annoying characters. Know what? My opinion didn't change much. I didn't have any high expectations of the anime, I kinda expected it to be this awful. The songs were kinda catchy though, but not really worth the effort of watching how ever many episodes there are. Story line is a 1. Was there a story line? The story read more
Well, it was in fact fun to watch. The story 6/10 : The story was very interesting but what made it bad was how it was presented. Out of 52 episodes I would not be surprised if 30 of them were fillers adding little to no content to the story. The art 6/10 : The art was nice, but you really notice that some parts were rushed and very poorly animated or drawn. For a kids show it totally fits, but for the critic side it isn’t really that nice. The sound 7/10 : The global read more
This anime was utterly AWFUL for the first bit. I couldn't stand it, and sometimes I wanted to teleport myself to the world of Mermaid Melody and kill them all. I do admit that it got better, good enough for me to at least be ableto stand them... But if you really want to know, this anime can be summed up in the following words. Predictable Cliche Girly First off, before you rant at me with all the anger of your heart, let me say this-- it's just a matter of opinion. If you like girly anime where the main character tries to read more
Things change. Lol. Story(7/10): I'm not gonna spoil anything, plus it's such a drag to write a synopsis on something most people here already know or are at least a bit familiar with. To be honest, I don't completely understand what the main plot in this series is. Is it saving the mermaids? Or defeating Gaito? Both? Idk, but I was engaged nonetheless. read more
Mermaid Melody is basically a ''magical girl'' anime.But with mermaids. Well,it's not something you would want to watch if you're looking for a series with really complex story and a lot of action. But,if you are looking for something cute and pure with no violence this is it.Also,the fillers.There's so many of them. On the other hand art is really colorful and probably is the best part of the series. The songs were cute in my opinion,although I wish they used different songs more often instead of repeating the same ones over and over again. When it comes to characters,I think mermaids beside the three main read more
I know I should rewatch it before reviewing; However, Im sort of afraid that I wont like it now that I'm not an eleven year old girl. To put my opinion out there really simply without being biased by nostalgia, I think Mermaid Melody is SORT OF good. It's REALLY good if you're really into read more
Here are some thoughts: This is a CLASSIC magic girl anime with amazing side characters and a story as well as some pretty rocking songs. You won't regret watching it, even if you are an adult looking for something cute to watch. PROS: -The plot and story are really fun and surprisingly make sense. There are the main characters, sure who steal a lot of the spotlight but all read more
Story is 5/10, its story has a lot of shoujo cliché moments, and everytime it has a battle, well you can predict what's next. So if you dislike those kinds of tropes then skip this one but watching this for enjoyment like a kid then it would be fun since I think this anime counts as a read more |
