So, I didn’t actually sign up to cover this one but after everyone questioned me enough on why I wasn’t watching it I decided to watch it. I noticed immediately upon going to view it that it’s one of those four minute kind of shows, which is cute but at the same time I was kind of hoping for something a little longer. A varity of skits like in Azumanga or something since it’s a four panel comic like Azumanga was.
The first episode is about how the Merman came to be living in this guys bathtub. Which is pretty much th first skit of the manga, yeah, I went and read the manga because I was being pestered about watching this too and by read the manga I mean I read the first skit, or the first episode.
You ever have that day where you’re walking home and you see a guy passed out on the side of the river and decide to help him out? No, well you’re probably not this anime’s protaginist then. That’s what happens to Tatsumi, of course, he didn’t realize he’d just saved a Merman or that said Merman was probably never going to leave his house.
Or make outragous demands for pink coloring for his bath, or hamburgers for dinner despite the fact that Tatsumi doesn’t have the money for it, or make Tatsumi take baths with him because he can’t live outside the water. Life isn’t going to be anywhere near the same anymore.
I honestly have no idea what to say about this show other then it’s weird, but cute. It’s cuerid? No, that’s a stupid word. Well whatever it is, I feel like it’s going to be a wild ride.
I don’t ship anything…yet. Even if they took a bath together, it does not mean it’s a yaoi [yet]. Of course, I started out Free! not shipping anyone and insisting up and down that it wasn’t a yaoi and well now -stares at tumblr full of RinHaru pictures- so, you can all quote me on this right now. As of episode one
WELP, I think i’ll cover this show for laughs.
