It was a cute anime throughout, it reminded me a lot of galko-chan which I enjoyed. I haven't read the manga so I'll prob check it out to see if they expanded more on the mer-people. Overall it was enjoyable to watch and if anyone likes cute slice of life this is it. The style was appealing and the animation wasn't bad except when it came to other four legged animals that weren't the main character. I wasn't too big of a fan with the fan service in the last episode but I should have seen that coming with the opening.
