When I heard that Mermaid Melody, my favorite childhood anime, had a sequel I was ecstatic, until I saw a few panels and crushing disappointment took over me...Also your designs and art are really pretty!
No, because EVERYTHING you said I agreed and nodded to, to the extent where my neck started to hurt. I read somewhere how they made Rukia be an exact copy of Luchia because it's kind of like how Seira ended up looking like Sara. Except Luchia didn't die, and Rukia is also Kaito's daughter, so I don't understand why she has to look exactly the same OR have any of Kaito's traits since she's his daughter too. I could ramble about how much they dropped the ball on this sequel.
I was so sad when I saw that she had exactly the same face as her mom. like when they are next to each other in their siren form they are the same person. 😢 Also like they didn’t seems to have gotten older and it’s a bit weird… 🫡
I just learned today that Mermaid Melody has a sequel and it's about Luchia and Kaito's daughter. I even cried! I immediately read it and oh boy I'm disappointed. 🤧
Andddddd I'm very irritated with how Luchia says she can't be with the boy she loves because she has a fiancee. Like duh girl??? Wth! I'm even mad at how Rukia doesn't know she was a mermaid all this time until she was 16?! She doesn't even know Hippo!! I was so stressed out when I read all the available chapters 😫 uhg my childhood! They did not even do any justice with the past characters and every chapter feels soooo rushed and somehow copies the plot of the original. The paiiiiin! I soooo feel you in all your rants 🥹😂
Lucia says herself in the original manga when discussing her human bikini top vs her mermaid form that the mermaid world is "only girls." 😂 now all of a sudden we have mermen. Great for side stories but highly inaccurate for the original. I had such high hopes for PPP Aqua.. but it looks like if we want things right we're gonna have to take hold of this franchise and save it ourselves..
@@davydukes8391 maybe mermaid Melody is just the beginning of an epic, because it simply doesn’t have the the power and experience to develop as much lore as the rather disappointing sequel.
When I saw this, I clicked....I was like yass queen....thank you for giving Rukia a redesign. Ironically, I wa considering redesigning her myself....I hate the fact she basically looks like a carbon copy of her mother, Luchia. Like look at Chibi Moon....she's not a carbon copy of Sailor moon for examplem...I don't mind the story of Aqua. But yeah, Rukia and Ryuusei fell in love too dang fast. But yeah these redesigns are fire! All of them are so beautiful ❤️
I’m actually glad I’m not the only one who wonders what Luchia in the OG story would of looked like if she had pink hair instead? I felt it was such a miss not giving Rukia pink hair instead? She and her mom would of looked like the aquatic version of Princess Serenity & Chibiusa. Such a missed opportunity! I hope Mermaid Melody gets a reboot anime series that’s faithful to the manga, the same way as Sailor Moon Crystal. I know it would probably get a more mature rating since the manga is darker. But hey, the majority of fans are older now so I don’t think they have to make too many changes to censorship?
Hey! just finished the new mangas and bOY! I legit think that the gang just ditched seira and didnt keep protecting her ;( and Its not like there's an orange palace just waiting around for seira either, sara trashed it lmao
Came here from mermaid melody tumblr and let just say I agree with everything you said!! I love your designs 💖 Liked and subscribed ! Can’t wait to see more :)
Maybe it’s because of the dangers of sea life getting polluted by gas guzzling ships and many other ecological threats are starting to be understood by more people than before.
I loved the video BUT!!! I think you were a bit wrong about the dress of Rukia... When it comes to mermaid melody idols, there were the Idol 1 and Idol 2 Take Rina as an example. When they all start transforming to singing idols for the first time, Rina had the most basic lookin green dress... Just like Rukia BUT when their powers got '' leveled up'' and they became stronger, they got the Idol 2 transformation which it added more stuff to their dresses to make them look '' stronger'' Maybe this will happen later on in the manga, but yeah!! Love the art! P.S I got mad because Rukia is a copy paste of luchia :') I wish she looked a bit different or AT LEAST a bit like her father I magine if she had like... brown hair as a human and blond as a mermaid or pink.... Becaus elike, it's so difficult sometimes to tell which one is which...
I agree with you completely. Also, I've noticed that Seira introduced herself as Seira Amagi, while her actual surname is Hikari. Did she steal the surname from Mikaru and Rihito? All of your designs are lovely, but I probably like the last one the most.
What on earth is this blasphemous sequel and why am I just now hearing about it? ☠️ And further more WHAT is that transformation!? Like seriously WHY is Rukia's idol form so plain looking!? Literally the WHOLE POINT of a magical girl's transformation in any show is to become their ultimate beautiful self! The powers are a plus, but the glow up is meant to be the main point! It's the man hook and to see them drop the ball on Rukia's idol form like that is just sad...why don't people just let the older magical girl shows rest in peeace instead of retconning them like this? And the fact that they now made half of the mermaid population male is just baffling to me x.x

I 100% agree with you. Rukia's outfit is far too plain. I think that one of the designs you made would look much better on Rukia.

Ok, I’m scared now. 😭 Where’d you read the manga? I’m curious how the story is unfolding.
I think She’s talking about Pichi Pichi pitch aqua

Not to mention her name lol

Mermaid Melody _was_ my first anime! I didn't know it got a manga sequel, though 😯
This video looks so well done I’m surprised it doesn’t have more views
Thank you✨ nothing but the BEST for my 200 subscribers😌✨
The third one is my absoulute favoriite!
My greatest question is HOW did Rukia don't noticed she was a mermaid for 17 years!!!
Like girl you never took a shower? 😅
Maybe it’s because of the dangers of sea life getting polluted by gas guzzling ships and many other ecological threats are starting to be understood by more people than before.
Speaking of Tokyo Mew Mew,, the new reboot inspired me to rewatch the 2002 dub XD
The opening song for the dub STILL SLAPS
I loved the video BUT!!!
I think you were a bit wrong about the dress of Rukia...
When it comes to mermaid melody idols, there were the Idol 1 and Idol 2
Take Rina as an example. When they all start transforming to singing idols for the first time, Rina had the most basic lookin green dress... Just like Rukia

Maybe this will happen later on in the manga, but yeah!!
Love the art!
P.S I got mad because Rukia is a copy paste of luchia :')
I wish she looked a bit different or AT LEAST a bit like her father
I magine if she had like... brown hair as a human and blond as a mermaid or pink....
Becaus elike, it's so difficult sometimes to tell which one is which...
Please do a video roasting the new monster high costumes. BLEASE
MAYBE. i cant believe they did that to my ghouls 😔😔😔
I think you mean GHOURLS
I agree with you completely. Also, I've noticed that Seira introduced herself as Seira Amagi, while her actual surname is Hikari. Did she steal the surname from Mikaru and Rihito?

Wait, when was the surname Hikari used? 🤔
