Mermaid Forest is one of those underrated shows that not many have heard about. The show tells the story of Yuta who ate mermaid flesh and became immortal. The show is about Yuta trying to find a way to become human again. The anime starts when Yuta is 500 years old and he finds a village of mermaids that have been rasing a young girl to eat. He rescues her but finds out she too have eaten mermaid flesh. These two immortals decide to start travelling together. This is not the typical happy show with beautiful mermaids. The story arcs in the show is usually2 episodes long and are often sad and tragic in nature. I found the show very touching and dark in places.
by same mangaka as Inuyasha
