Review of Mermaid Melody: Pichi Pichi Pitch
This is typically the type of anime I don’t watch because I sure I won’t enjoy it. Well, it was in fact fun to watch. The story 6/10 : The story was very interesting but what made it bad was how it was presented. Out of 52 episodes I would not be surprised if 30 of them were fillers adding little to no content to the story. The art 6/10 : The art was nice, but you really notice that some parts were rushed and very poorly animated or drawn. For a kids show it totally fits, but for the critic side it isn’t really that nice.The sound 7/10 :
The global OST was pretty nice since it was made for an Idols/Magical Girl type of anime. For the songs I only heard the French translation and they weren’t bad for once. If you get over the fact that you almost heard the same songs every episode it’s nice.
The characters 5/10 :
The characters were very enjoyable, the quiet and kinda lonely Rina, the hyper active Hanon, and Lucia who is… a bit of everything. And then we have characters such as Caren who’s barely into 7-10 episodes. For Kaito, his character wasn’t really developed until really late in the episodes. And we have the most useless vilains of all times, the demons, we don’t know anything about them, they are just there doing evil thing for the sake of Gaito.
The enjoyement 8/10 :
This is a kids show, and even if I’m not a kid I totally enjoyed it, of course there were some cringy parts but it’s just part of the experience. I would recommend it for kids even nowadays it didn’t get old.
