How Old Can A Mermaid Get?
Muromi-san is a anime about an older mermaid, who just won't leave this young boy alone to fish, because she really wants those eggs fertilized.
It is the kind of comedy show, where logic doesn't need to apply, where it is mostly the lack of logic that is here to make you laugh. Where we find the sea monsters of the old testament and make them, silly waifus who want the main character.
It has surprisingly good comedic animation, and is willing to be fast, snappy and violent, with unhinged Japanese voice acting, and who doesn't like some innocent moments, of mermaid eating cucumbers?
After watching this, you will realize that the sea is just full of girl failures, but at least they are funny. It's a trashy show, but it's not a bad time.

Namiuchigiwa no Muromi-san is a pretty laid back 13 ep anime. with a very light hearted cast and "story" one thing I liked about this show is that all the characters are cute especially harpy and yeti. however this is a very japanese anime. it uses alot of references to japanese folk-lore and history. which might be confusing for the west. it was fun to google the stuff they brought up in the show though. id be lieing if I said I wasnt drawn to this show because of the big-boob mermaid "fiji-san" but I was overall satisfied with the show and the corky characters.

It's not necessarily a bad show, but when the plot wasn't about the platonic relationship between a mermaid and a human and instead about the relationships between a bunch of mermaids, I really didn't enjoy the show. Yes, the whole point is "holy moly! mermaids are real!" but none of the mermaids are really that interesting, nor do they add anything to the (non-existent) plot of the show. The mermaids don't contrast each other well, even if acting slightly different they all share INCREDIBLY similar personalities, making a great majority of the main characters pointless other than having the watcher experience some ounce of shock value and to add useless filler in an attempt to grow a connection. Not having very many tropes or "dere" present is usually fine, but it's honestly something thi…

This is a nice show that at first glance doesn't seem like much. But it starts to be funnier and better as the show goes on.
Biggest issue is that that amount of time we have of screen time is small with only 12 minutes each episode. It can easily have been a 23 minute episode or a 24 episode season.
The first episode or two is kind of rough . But nothing awful.
I like the main Mermaid in this. I like her more when she was younger. From her appearance and attitude is just better. I think she looked a lot better when she was younger. Her attitude was also really nice and it kind of seems sad seeing her be so rude now.
I like normal don't like the MC that much. I'd rather the show just be about the group of mermaids. I'd rather just have the show be about Yuri
Levi is my favorite of t…

***This is a spoiler free review***
For a short time format anime, Namiuchigiwa no Muromi-san sure packs a huge punch with it’s amazing animation and voice acting.
Story: 5.5/10
Let’s get this straight; there is no plot in this anime. While some of the episodes build on each other, most are self contained. What you get in this anime is exactly what it does well; gag skits. Literally every episode is something leading up to a gag. While most of the content in the show pertains to Japanese common knowledge, most subs will provide tooltips for the things you might not understand.
Overall the show is really funny and enjoyable; there just isn’t anything overly interesting going on.
Animation: 9.9/10
The animation is fresh, unique, and oozing with quality. Every scene looks amazing due to…

Namiuchigiwa no Muromi-san (Muromi-san)
So one day I was talking with some great people when I happened to link an image to a super cute mermaid. I then followed it up saying I need more mega cute mermaid pictures when Cajun came out of nowhere and recommended Muromi-san! What a recommendation, what an anime, it’s absolutely crazy!
Muromi-san is about mermaids who are nothing like you’d imagine. Muromi is the star of the show, she’s over a million years old, is super cute, hates birds (don’t all fish?!!) and loves the land! We also have Takka-kun, the young boy who happens to fish Muromi out of the waters! This begins the anime and all the crazy things that happen! Each episode is around 13 minutes long, they are quite episodic, they make no sense at all, it’s super cute and it’s best to…

Namiuchigiwa no Muromi San
Muromi-san...and to think that i was not going to see this anime because of how bad the art looked, i'm glad that i saw it was 15 min. per episode that's why i decided to watch it and i don't regret it.
Story
This doesn't have any story whatsoever it's more aimed to be a slice of life comedy where there's no story, is more about a group of mermaids and humans, and a Yeti and a Harpy that tries to do something different everyday.
Art & Animation
It was mediocre but in some way i think it was on purpose to be drawn like that so i didn't care much about it, so it was fine.
Sound
The sound was great, it makes it even funniers how great the voice actors performed, the background music was good and the OP song was great, i loved it.
Characters
There's a variety of…

Aww it's only 12 min per episode. But I quite like it. Silly little stupid comedy but the art style is kinda nice, even if it's cheap. Design of Muromi is what got me hooked (get it? ok, I'll show myself out).
...She just looks visually amazing (or I might be just weak to that particular nuance of green hair... yeah). But the humor is genuinely funny so I like it for that. I wish it was more solid, plot and duration wise, like Ika-musume, but this is charming in it's own way.
And it keeps getting better towards the middle, I almost fell of the chair laughing around episodes 3 and 4. Mid season was good as well, but unfortunately, the show starts going downhill after episode 6, as it doesn't feel as inspired anymore. So later episodes are quite meh.
Overall, it's way too ecchi and th…

I nicknamed this show "The Holler-Back Mermaid."
It's got the talking animals and other "buddy-pal" creatures. But it lacks the strict father (and henceforth the NO-FUN-WHATSOEVER drama). And the shounen lead started to accept the mermaid heroine early on.
In a way: This show asks the ever-cynical viewer to have a heart for "used goods." Muromi, as a character, goes beyond "used goods" and ventures into "nuclear waste" territory. But she still looks like she's having fun (which is what life is all about to a certain extent).
Takurou looks like a combo of Squid Girl's Takeru and Raildex's Touma. And I was hoping for him to give a "Touma Punch" to Muromi for her silly antics... Atleast he proved that he wasn't just another whiny self-insert; pulling some stunts on said mermaids and findin…

I'll just start making clear that it is a comedy.
So... don't expect great stories, but fun and silly ones.
In my opinion the best part is the art. A lot of light, very easy to see. All with that summer vibe.
The next big point would be in my opinion the characters. They all are funny.
The sound is maybe too crazy for my taste, but it is fair with the anime vibe.
And finally the story... it is very short, and with no much relation between episodes. As a result is a short anime, that you can enjoy when you want, almost in any order.
But the most important thing of all: it will make you smile.
I really enjoyed levia-san, muromi and her phobias, the fish, and the boy dealing with all that mermaid craziness.
In my opinion is a dark horse from the spring'13 season, I give it an 8

Muromi-san on the Shore is a comedy in which the protagonist Takurou's life is gatecrashed by the titular Muromi when he accidentally catches her whilst trying to fish. Over the course of the series Takurou meets more mythical creatures, all of which are drastically different to what he was expecting.
The show is made up of 13 minute episodes, and this short length is definitely a good thing; it means that the pacing is fast and concise, which is perfect for the humour used. Additionally it means that the show cannot string out jokes so that they become dull and monotonous. With reduced time slot, there is only an opening, which is catchy, energetic, and crazy.
This is just as well, because it suits the show rather well. The humour is off the wall, Muromi herself is crazy, thoughtless a…

So, I just finish watching the last ep of this 12 min omake. So, my ratings:
Story: Fair 6
Frankly there isn't any, this more like your cliche pesky girl coming into boy's life and makes a mess out of it, but then again, the comedy genre was the one that makes up for this anime.
Art: Dreadful 2
The art form was simply too messy and it look like some wanna be mangaka did a lousy job. Sound: Good 7
The rating is for the opening theme and the seiyuu's who did Takkun and Muromi's voice.
Character: Good 7
I'd say for a character were one might wanna give Muromi a karate chop one here head for being so immature was basically the most entertaining part of this 12 min omake, Takkun on the other hand was this character whom one would wish to Muromi that Karate chop but I got to hand it to h…
