But, I didn't write to complain about summer school. I'm totally excited! I was over at a friend's house and she got me into this one mahou shoujo called Mermaid Melody Pichi Pichi Pitch. Well, you can only imagine how ecstatic I was to hear of a totally cool music orientated magical girl and I watched it with high hopes. Needless to say, I was not disappointed. It's absolutely adorable, and tons of henshin. I stayed up most of the night and little into the morning watching the first fifteen episodes. Gosh, I love this anime!
Lucia, Mermaid Princess of the North Pacific Ocean, sets out to land to find the boy she saved from a shipwreck seven years before the beginning of the story, to whom she had entrusted with her pink pearl. She eventually finds the boy: a surfer named Kaito Dōmoto. But as the human form Lucia assumed, named Lucia Nanami, bears very little resemblance to her mermaid form, Kaito cannot recognize her. She cannot tell Kaito who she really is; otherwise, according to mermaid folklore, she would turn into bubbles. She tries to convince Kaito into figuring out who she really is (since the legend does not say anything about the other person discovering a mermaid's true identity by himself).
At the same time, Lucia has been told that a group of water demons or suiyō (水妖) have invaded the marine world and she must gather the six other Mermaid Princesses and their pearls to bring back the legendary goddess, Aqua Regina, to stop them. To fulfill this, she joins forces with Hanon and Rina, Mermaid Princesses who came up to dry land, use their pearls, turn into singing idols, and use their voices as an offensive power. (Wikipedia)
The Mermaid Princesses have awesome battle songs that are super catchy, though, by the time I managed to learn the first song, they came up with a new one. I was a little miffed about that. Their idol outfits are gaudily cute. I mean, I, personally, would not wear them, but they make super cute mahou shoujo uniforms! And Kaito, the object of Lucia's affections, while not all that cute, is a definite change from the normal mahou shoujo boyfriend: he's a bit clueless, but he's not always after her trying to save her, making Lucia appear to be a little more capable to do her job.
I really can't wait to start watching more of this anime, though I'm a little annoyed that I have wait another week before I can, Rhythm is really getting on my hiney on this studying thing. At least I have Harmony here to tutor me. Though I find it quite unfair how she's so much younger than me, but knows so much. Well, I won't let it bother me and go and study!
