Seto No Hanayome Episode 1 Review

Heh, this is the main character, Nagasumi Michishio the protagonist of this show. As you can plainly see he goes from being a happy go lucky teenage kid, to being jacked up against the wall while he is crying like a bitch....shit happens I guess.


One day while on vacation, Teenage boy Nagasumi Michishio was drowning off the coast of Seto island. Luckily, he got rescued at the last minute by the mermaid San Seto. Being saved from drowning was great and all, but as it turns out, mermaids have a bunch of really strict rules about not being found out by humans.(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seto_no_Hanayome)


This is one of the screenshots that sold me. This web page can't really render in full quality but the sunlight streaming through the water caressing San Seto's body is very beautiful, in contrast to the zany FLCL type animation that is prevalent throughout the rest of the show.





Wtf is this about?!?! Mermaid girl ripping off clothing with empty doll like eyes and a glued on smile?? Is this anime with his childlike comedy and gut busting parody really hentai in disguise?? I dunno, but lets hope so.

And below us we see mermaid-girl's dad, I'm sure you can figure out which deranged fool it is. Lets just say that he's the Uncle you hide the booze from at the family cookout.












All in all, for the first episode I give Seto No Hanayome a 8.5 out of 10. It has great drawing and animation, to the point where you feel like you would reach out and touch the screen and your hands would get wet. The music from the opening sounds like a beach band; with all the opening characters apart of the jam. I have no idea if the anime will expand upon this band concept but I certainly hope not. It would seem to be just a little too weird for me....even for an anime. So if your looking something to pack your pipe up to and have some genuine laughs off Japanese animation then follow this link today and get watchin'. =)
