Mermaid Melody!

[Claire]

I had resolved originally to myself not to watch anymore anime for the sake of my health, but I really couldn't resist any longer the call of Mermaid Melody Pichi Pichi Pitch, it just seemed so cute and my friend let me listen to some of the songs and I really loved Daiji na Takarabako, so I started watching yesterday. It's really cute!

[Amy-Chan]

yep, i like it lots ^^
but if you don't understand japanese, you may not be able to find the last 12 eps of season 1 subbed, season 2 'mermaid melody pure' is even worsely not subbed, i know on the place i get them from someone promises to do it after they subbed sailormoon? don't know why the re-sub for...

From what I have looked up and read, it sounds pretty cute. I'm also a bit of a sucker for mermaid stories, so maybe I'll check it out soon!

I watched one episode of it and though "Na, not too great" It reminds me way too much of SailorMoon-v-The Little Mermaid. Although it was cute and all, a bit too cutesy and moon-like for my liking.

[Amy-Chan]

I guess you could say that, but not really any more than the first season of sailor moon, the story is good though, though with something like 52 eps its not the fastest story - not that's all bad

[Claire]

Yeah, I agree, it's just a tad bit too cute for my liking; I don't get the whole singing to defeat an enemy thing yet but that's okay. It's cute, I give it that.

[Amy-Chan]

the songs are a attack, a amplification of the mermaid pearls I'd guess... the sea goddess gives them new powers (songs) as time goes by, so that they can defeat the badguys, rescue the other mermaid princesses (not that i've got that far myself) and save the sea basically...
the song attacks at first are weird but they grow on you^_^ and its certainly more unique than shooting elements or some kind of weapons (which is most)

For some reason i wanted to see this anime, and i only need caps 7-9 from the Pure (season 2) and i will have the entire series.

this series is cute, i downloaded the COMPLETE discography (i got a little obsessed...that happens all the time xD) and i watched the first season complete (i'm waiting for the 3 episodes that i don't have so i have my marathon *.*) i have the first 3 volumes of the manga and i'm still (hope to find someday TT) the rest (7 volumes) i don't care if i had to read it in Japanese. i'll just look up the word i don't know on my dictionary, but i wanna know what happens in the manga, cause the anime is full of fillers and some of them are boring :/, but still i laugh a lot xD.

[Claire]

yeah, it's just weird that the songs are an attack... i dunno, because it doesn't appear to do any physical bodily harm, and yet... it's just different. xD

[Amy-Chan]

physically it does't harm but it hurts them probably like a pain in the head, the songs themselves don't seem to matter given one of the water demons sings one of them karaoke like in a ep (not a plot point)

[Maron]

this anime is totally different from all shoujo anime that i've seen so far, that's the interesting part, cause you'll never guessed that in a series, the main characters could "defeat" the enemy just singing xD

Unless it's Karen, with whom this ability suits perfectly.
