Namiuchigiwa no Muromi-san

The docks provide a look into the very essence of ocean life—the calm, rhythmic sounds of the waves, the small bugs skittering across the pier, and—mermaids!? Takurou Mukoujima's quiet days spent fishing are no more when he reels in the energetic mermaid Muromi-san, who proceeds to entertain herself around her newfound friend, even if he is obviously disinterested.

Now with a talkative and reckless companion always by his side, Takurou struggles to avoid getting caught up in Muromi-san's pace as she starts to invite her deep-sea friends, making the dock a popular gathering place for mythological creatures. Every day might be new and exciting, but all Takurou really wants is to fish in peace!

Namiuchigiwa no Muromi-san is a pretty laid back 13 ep anime. with a very light hearted cast and "story" one thing I liked about this show is that all the characters are cute especially harpy and yeti. however this is a very japanese anime. it uses alot of references to japanese folk-lore and history. which might be confusing for the west. it was fun to google the stuff they brought up in the show though. id be lieing if I said I wasnt drawn to this show because of the big-boob mermaid "fiji-san" but I was overall satisfied with the show and the corky ... characters.

This is a nice show that at first glance doesn't seem like much. But it starts to be funnier and better as the show goes on.

Biggest issue is that that amount of time we have of screen time is small with only 12 minutes each episode. It can easily have been a 23 minute episode or a 24 episode season.

The first episode or two is kind of rough . But nothing awful.

I like the main Mermaid in this. I like her more when she was younger. From her appearance and attitude is just better. I think she looked a lot better when she ... was younger. Her attitude was also really nice and it kind of seems sad seeing her be so rude now.

I like normal don't like the MC that much. I'd rather the show just be about the group of mermaids. I'd rather just have the show be about Yuri

Levi is my favorite of them all. From how she acts so laid back and always seem a bit drunk and i also like her design. I ship Levi and the main Mermaid the most.

I also like the human that lived under water or something. She's millions of years old so maybe she isn't a human. I like how she acts not around mermaids and how she is actually nice looking. Would love to just get more of her, Levi and the Main Mermaid together.

Overall a good show with some issues but nothing bad.

Mixed Feelings

It's not necessarily a bad show, but when the plot wasn't about the platonic relationship between a mermaid and a human and instead about the relationships between a bunch of mermaids, I really didn't enjoy the show. Yes, the whole point is "holy moly! mermaids are real!" but none of the mermaids are really that interesting, nor do they add anything to the (non-existent) plot of the show. The mermaids don't contrast each other well, even if acting slightly different they all share INCREDIBLY similar personalities, making a great majority of the main characters pointless other than having the watcher experience some ounce of shock ... value and to add useless filler in an attempt to grow a connection. Not having very many tropes or "dere" present is usually fine, but it's honestly something this anime needed to excel the plot. Watching the mermaids interact with each other is how I imagine it would feel to watch a conversation between a boulder and a rock, they're practically the same character with slightly different traits.

The sexualization and innuendos crammed into the second-to-last episode really is what ruined the show for me. The "cucumber joke", would've been a kind of (not really) funny one-off joke, but instead it persisted for multiple episodes, the same type of ordeal happens with Fuji, one of the shows main characters, her whole shtick is that she's in one-sided love with Muromi, which could've made for some interesting scenes, or even some type of storyline if her character actually did anything other than have gravity defying spheroids that move with more velocity than the ball during an intense game of Soccer. At first I thought the velocity of Fuji's breasts was a bit hysteric and assumed that it was meant to be a quick gag, just a brief "haha look, she has big boobs" then the story would continue but the already miniscule amount of comedy faded as I realized the breasts were animated like this in every single scene that has her, the small amount of comedic value that scene had given me instantly turned into what can only be described as tasting used deodorant and feeling a hair, an incredibly disgusting and uncomfortable experience, every time it happened I wanted it to be over as soon as possible. A grand majority of the points I brought up aren't in episodes 1-8 however, so if you're just looking for a show about mermaid girls, I highly recommend 2/3rds of this show.

TL;DR: watch episodes 1-8 then either drop the show or brace yourself
