Seto no Hanayome (episodes 1 ~ 25)
Short summary : A guy is saved from drowning by a mermaid, and has to marry her now that he knows her true identity, as said in the Mermaids’ Rule. For making the things worse, the mermaid is from an “undersea” yakuza family, and her father is very protective.
Adapted from a manga by the same author as “My Name is Zushio”. If you ever read that piece of pure crazyness, well you can expect kinda the same crazyness and absurd humor here. Sure this anime is crazy, maybe a little too much I would dare to say. Sometime I feel exhausted after watching an episode of Seto.
That may be the only “bad point” of the show, if you can even call this a bad point. Except that, it’s your typical school love-comedy. Some funny moments, some fanservice, and some nice characters.
San, the heroine. Most of the time a nice and kind girl, but can unexpectedly go totally random over various things. She has also a very manly side. Dubbed by Haruko Momoi.
Runa, San’s rival. I found her so irritating in the beginning (well, I still think she’s somewhat irritating), but as I said before : characters who confess their love properly to the main guy get extra win points from me. Fight-o, Runa-chan.
‘Delicious’ Maki, the killer liliputian. A funny character, one of my favorite from the show. I wish there was a ‘human-sized Maki’ episode but since there is only one episode left, it will most likely never happen.
Mawari, the policeman’s daughter. Cute, short and bossy, my favorite character from the show. She also likes to act naughty with the class rep. She made me think of Haruhi at first.
The nameless, ignored and unlucky ‘Iinchou’ (class rep). You can’t help but want to support her… ’cause heh, iinchou are awesome.
Mawari with a ouendan uniform. As you might expect, she’s the type who is popular with girls, which makes even more win points for her.
Masa-san, pure GARness, with awesome voice and afro. A totally cool, reliable yet funny yakuza, I’m a fan. He’s the main guy’s first kiss. XD
The main guy’s mom, definitely the cutest of all the characters. Anime MILF, but sadly she doesn’t have so much screentime. She wants Masa-san (who doesn’t ?).
This time I will finish with a (not so) random pic :
Masa-san is real !
And he sells Yayoi x Iori doujins…
