Mermaid Melody Pichi Pichi Pitch

[Sailor Enlil]

Somehow I only started taking interest in this series only recently (since I can't find decent subs of the 2nd season, I'm watching them on Youtube). Well I already have a favorite - Rina (who somehow reminds me of Love Hina's Motoko and similarly designed girls) - it's cute how she gets flustered all over Masahiro .

I liked mermaid Melody ever since I started to watch but as I grew older I found out that other than the songs, the enemy fall for the same song in every episode no matter how strong they are, there no alternatives for them. This sadly makes it a little boring knowing that when audience see an enemy they know that their going to me defeated by the same song from the good guys. No Offense



The mermaids actually lost once but after that they won until the next boss was defeated...

*Kyaaaaaaaa*!!! I just cannot begin to tell you just how much I love this anime!

[Ranmaman]

well apparently it's true that it has once again been picked up by ADV and is actually getting dubbed.

here's the trailer anyway - i haven't seen it officially announced anywhere else...

You be the Judge.

but as far as i can tell it only appears to be series 1 Pitchi Pitchi Pitch and not include series 2 Pitchi Pitchi Pitch Pure

I am rather confused, Lunar's ScaryWater tracker says it is licensed... http://a.scarywater.net/lunar/

However Pitch is still up here: http://www.animesuki.com/series.php/148.html

So does AnimeSuki not recognize it as licensed yet? Did ADV change their mind?

Shoujo-Anime who also did the first 19 only has Futari wa Pretty Cure on their tracker.

I think that if these torrents aren't even active and it is licensed that Suki should take it down, perhaps I am reading into this too much if the licensing never went all the way through, but if it did fall out then perhaps the groups will put up their torrents.

Lunar's site seems to be down now so wasn't able to ask there.

ADV dropped the license

Never mind the fact only "auto-popular" series have a chance of getting a TV deal and Mermaid Melody doesn't count. Still what I've seen so far has been a bit curious and strangely addictive. Need to get back to watching it later.

wasurenai-subs.com is now subbing this anime

I have a question about the plot:

Spoiler for series:

About Hippo and Yuri: In the anime, as I understand, Yuri disappears (maybe dies?), but then we see her again in the last episode. Somebody says that means she survived, other say this means nothing because we see all the other characters in that episode, including the dead ones, so it’s just an appearance without any link to the story.
And as for the manga, I have read on internet that the story of Hippo and Yuri does have a happy ending in volume 7, so it seems neither of them does disappear or die.
So could anybody please explain me how does their story actually finish? Does Yuri die or not?.

Spoiler for series:

In both the series and manga, Yuri is not dead, but she is in her true form [a fish]. (i.e., Gaito had originally magic-ed her up to the human/demon form you're most familiar with; then Yuri gave up the magic (to Gaito) in her final (Season 1) battle, causing her to revert.)

Yuri (in human/demon form) and Hippo meet once more due to a magic wish (which was only temporary). So, until such time as Hippo can find her again and find some magic to "restore" her to human/demon form, they are separated. [In short, this is left unresolved.]

Now, in the anime, part of the very last episode (of Pure) takes place in a "dreamscape" (i.e., it takes place in the minds of the three mermaids, as they try to imagine/resolve what their future may hold). In this segment, some of the "dead" characters re-appear, and Yuri and Hippo are re-united. But again, it's "just a dream . . . ."

I've watched the whole series (including second series) I like the opening songs and Rina's song star jewel, although I have to say Karen's singing makes my ears bleed. Karen never had any affairs with Gaito though, Idk where you got that information from because it's not accurate. Here's a spoiler for Karen,

Spoiler for Karen:

Karen is the purple mermaid princess and has the purple pearl voice. She's from the artic ocean and has a twin sister named Noelle who is the blue pearl princess, due to circumstances they were seperated. Karen is the younger twin and has never gotten to see her elder twin Noelle since they live on polar opposites of the oceans. Karen has a grudge against Rina because Rina and Noelle were close friends and when Gaito's reign had began Noelle and Rina were being hunted down, Noelle sacrificed herself and had Rina escape. Karen thinks that Rina become a coward and left Noelle to face Gaito's wraith which is wrong, Rina left reluctantly btw.

I've taken some renewed interest in this show. Since the last post here, early in 2011 A-Flux and Lunar put out a bigger and better torrent of the work they did between 2003 and 2007 from 1-39. This was at the same time that Wasurenai's work on the final episodes 40-52 also came out.

The "Pure" sequel http://animesuki.com/series.php/464.html does not link to a forum thread, and currently no threads specifically about it exist, so hopefully we can discuss both series here. I have episodes 1-7 that Naisho finished in 2005. Haven't actually watched them yet since I realized this was a sequel (hasn't been the first time, made same mistake with Sisters of Wellber Zwei, German numbers...).

It seems that episodes 1-7 were picked up by the combination of WSRN and Licca and done earlier this September. They seem to have stopped there, not sure why. Perhaps these were the only raws that could be located? Pure 8-39 remains absent I guess.

Oh my, I remember how much I liked the show some years ago, when only a few episodes were subbed online. But after watching it fully, I was disappointed a little.

The first season is 52-episodes while it could have completed in 26-30. I couldn't stand some very random episodes, it was feeling so much like Pretty Cure at times. And some characters weren't developed.

However Pure was better. Less episodes, more interesting plot twists. But I was annoyed at the fact that,

Spoiler:

Lucia kept talking about Kaito at the beginning of every episode and asking for him.

For me, Sara and Rina had the best personality.

As for the manga, it was so bad and rushed. However, it was nice to see that the author developed the supporting mermaids better, because it didn't happen in the anime.
