Description:

Live by the sea, protect the sea, and travel the sea. That is Blue Mermaid! This original animation, based on the original plan by Takaaki Suzuki, creator of "Strike Witches" and "Girls und Panzer," has been broadcast on TV since April 2016. Set against the backdrop of a Japan that has become a maritime superpower due to the submergence of its land, the elaborately designed setting and worldview attractively depict the rich personalities of Akeno, the captain of the educational ship "Harukaze," and her fellow shipmates, including her second in command Mashiro Soya, and the relationships among the girls, and the cute characters are all in a fleet battle that at first glance seems to mismatch their cute personalities. The fleet battle scenes, which at first glance appear to be a mismatch between the cute characters and the realistic depiction based on meticulously researched settings, were a big hit from the start of the broadcast. Even after the broadcast, there was no shortage of requests for a sequel, and after the release of an OVA in May 2017, a completely new animated series was released in January 2020 for a nationwide roadshow.
