Well that's a catchy little OP song. Overall a fun episode. That is one heck of a tail though even for a merman.

I expected it to have a full 23 minute episode :(...Well what to do??At least it was fun. And was that Shimazaki Nobunaga's Voice?? Looks like he will be voicing main characters this season too :D

I was under the impression that this was a full 23-24min episode. I'm kind of disappointed that it is not. Nonetheless, it was still great! Maybe i'll pick up the manga to make up for the short episodes.

That episode felt like a minute despite being 4. Hopefully this will have a little bit of yaoi in this as Wakasa is hot, the series is Shoujo, and it's composed of a 99% male cast.

That OP, what.

This seems to be one of those kinda of anime that I typically don't watch, but it's only four minutes long, and it involves a merman (I like mermaids). I did snort, so I'll keep watching.

lol such a serious opening song for a light hearted comedy
tatsumi with the same seiyuu as haruka, seems like haru got a pet mermaid instead of becoming one xD

Well, at least it was cute and funny.

My thoughts exactly. Way to crush my hype. Right now I would even take a single 30 minute long OVA over these short episodes to be honest. Oh well...

Woah. I read the synopsis wrong and definitely didn't look at the picture closely. I thought this anime had a mermaid in it... not a merman lol. Also 4 min episodes? Gah :(

When I first described this anime to a friend, I had described Tatsumi as Nanase Haruka (Free!) because he just oozed Haru, so of course I was excited for Haru's voice actor to be voicing this character.

I was extremely disappointed when I realize that these would be short episodes rather than a full 20+ minutes, but I think I'll enjoy the series.

That was a rather intense opening song for such a short anime. I'm not really a fan of this kind of anime but I'll keep watching. The comedy is all right.

I was really expecting a full length episode! It was a really good episode, but way too short!

Why do they make animes with short episodes like this? To me its a waste of production funds!
So glad that I'm not a huge manga reader, because the manga readers WHINE WAY TOO MUCH and have to RUIN every adapted anime for the ANIME ONLY WATCHERS!

I was heartbroken to see it was so short. But I love it already! Major props to Yuichirou on his first "major" role. I first thought Wakasa's voice should've been more high-pitched, but I found myself really enjoying this guy's voice.

I've already rewatched it three times. =_= I should stop but I really can't.

That opening, tho...

I expected it to be short since the manga is like a pseudo 4-koma and there's only so much you can do with that.
I WAS kinda wishing that the show would prove me wrong though.
Also I was expecting five minutes instead of four. :U
It should still be fun to watch though!

Oh man that was quite an intense OP XD Definitely not what I expected. Makes it seem dark. Wakasa's voice is not as cute as I imagined it, but it fits. Poor Tatsumi having to take a bath with Wakasa. Anyways, a cute start~

I'm actually glad it's a short episode. How much can you do when one of the main characters is stuck in a bathtub?

Anywho, it was cute and funny. Freeloading merman lol, not seen every day.

Same here.
You can't really do any serious development with 13 x 4 minutes, can you?

Well, with that settting, there's no way it can't have shounen-ai undertones - even if they were trying all things possible not to.

Merman is adorable okayyy

It's also pretty funny. Got two laughs out of my in four minutes which is pretty good, esp for a short show.

This is very similar to the actual gay merman OVA, which is cool because I liked that.

I'm sad its only 4 minutes, but if one of them is going to be in the bathtub all the time maybe it is for the better cause I do not want another Kill Me Baby. >_>

Wakasa is the cutest and that opening was unusually dark for a comedy series? O_o
