I do like Yuasa, I'm disappointed he chose such a typical storyline. It's where the profit lays tho (check out Bakemononomo franchise) so fuck I guess.

Looks like a fantasy adventure with some slice of life, but its Yuasa so probably 10 times better than the average one
Anime gets to live another day :D

Hella Ponyo vibes.
This though.
It worries me, I wish the mermaid design was a bit more different.

https://twitter.com/Yuyucow/status/820329028158705664 It's not confirmed if it's tv series or movie, but I'm still hyped
''— Oshiyama and Yuasa are currently working on what seems to be a TV series, to be announced sometime in March (likely at AnimeJapan). They wouldn’t be surprised if it were rated R considering all the sexual content in it.''
