Rina is more mature and reserved, but ends up meeting a caring and mysterious guy.

He is a determined little guy with a poor understanding of how to win her over, but who is really passionate and genuinely cares, even if that sometimes means he comes off as a jealous and obsessed klutz. Hanon is the more love-obsessed of the the three and though she is always eager to point out the tallest, most handsome men that pass by, she ends up drawing the attention of a boy younger than her. The romances of Hanon and Rina are relatively safe by comparison. It’s a problem either way and both girls are suffering because of this uncertainty. Does he stay loyal to the girl he was with long before this story started or does he stay with a girl that cared for him while he was sick. While at first he just finds Lucia’s behavior weird, he slowly begins to realize how important he must have been to her, and when his memories begin creeping back, that puts him in a position where he’s in two relationships at once. Lucia is of course heartbroken about his apparent betrayal, but you really can’t fault the guy for falling in love with the girl who helped save him while no longer having his memories. This storyline concerning his memory loss I found to be really interesting as it puts him and Lucia in a weird position. With no memories left of his earlier life, he ended up becoming the boyfriend of his savior’s sister, a sickly young girl named Mikaru. The twist is that he winds up missing and, after eventually turning up again, he is suffering from memory loss. Lucia gets the most of this, as she starts the show in a relationship with a cool, dependable guy named Kaito who goes on holiday to Hawaii. The three main girls, Lucia, Hanon, and Rina, are all interesting in their own rights and, this being a shoujo series, of course there is a bit of romance in their lives.
#3 A legitimately interesting romance dynamic If you’re not feeling quite convinced yet, there is an episode in which the girls have to fight… a sea cucumber. Even Mikeru becomes an interesting antagonist towards the end, with a fantastic pay off to his arc in the final few episodes. Their writing and personalities are also enjoyable, with many running gags and character-developing scenes that left me being really fond of them. The Black Beauty Sisters are a twin couple of deep-sea angler fishes given Human form that sing songs so dark it hurts the mermaids, Lady Bat is an eccentric person with a love for illusions whose mysterious voice puts people in a trance, Lanhua’s party music forces people to dance endlessly, and the fairy Alala is an idol singer so obnoxiously upbeat I am not even sure if her songs have magic power or are just physically painful to listen to.Īll of these more-or-less take turns playing villain of the week, hatching elaborate plots and being generally ineffective save for a few lucky moments where they manage to almost overcome the princesses. To help capture the mermaid princesses he employs a variety of different sub-villains, all of which are thoroughly enjoyable.
The story of Mermaid Melody pits our three protagonists against Mikeru, an angelic being looking to absorb their power and resurrect a race of ancient creatures like him. While you won’t get any badass fighting scenes or delicious fanservice, the show is excellent for entertaining a younger audience and those who are unashamed about enjoying shoujo. Mermaid Melody shares a release year with Lyrical Nanoha and Pretty Cure, but even though it targets a younger, female demographic, I still found the show legitimately interesting from that viewpoint and managed to enjoy it rather well.
