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 the "magical girl" thing, *because the plotline is rather typical for series in this genre.*
My favorite aspect of this anime, by far, is the art. *I am in love with the cutesy-bright girly color scheme.* I like that the main character in human form looks sort of like an elementary school Britney Spears, and as a mermaid she of course looks like an adolescant Sailor Moon because damnit all magical girls have to look exactly the same when they transform apparently. Put simply, its cute... and I like that the whole thing is just so CUTE and just CUTE and CUTECUTECUTE.
So overall, while this series may not be for everyone, it's definitley super kyoooot and if you want a moronic magical girl storyline with super ultra adorable artwork, this is the one for you. Even if you drop the series, you will have a mysterious urge to change your screensaver to a picture of Lucia and her little friends in full get-up- *It's THAT cute*.
