My Bride is a Mermaid - Complete Box Set S.A.V.E.

Hilarious!
"My Bride is a Mermaid" is an adaptation of a Manga series originally serialized in a Square-Enix magazine in Japan. How the plot goes is that a young 14-year-old boy by the name of Nagasumi is on vacation visiting his grandmother's at the Seto Inland Sea, and while he is swimming out in the sea, he starts to drown (for unknown reasons), and is later saved by a mermaid by the name of San Seto. Turns out that San Seto is not your "typical" mermaid as she is the daughter of the head boss of a Yakuhza crime family, and due to the Mermaid Code, since Nagasumi saw San in her mermaid form, one of them must be killed. Now there is a loophole to this by simply allowing Nagasumi to marry into the family, thus saving both their lives.This is a "Harem Anime" genre where our main hero earns the affections of several young women, such as: Mawari, the Superintendent General's daughter and childhood friend of Nagasumi; Lunar, another fellow mermaid that happens to be a national pop star as well as daughter of the head of the Edomae Crime Family; and Class Rep, a "mousy-glasses" that is the class rep for Nagasumi's classroom that wishes for people to call her by her true name.Of course there are also an extended cast of hilarious characters that helps make this show great, such as: Chimp, the pervy best-friend of Nagasumi but has an alternative identity as "Chimp Roshi", a wise hermit in the ways of womanizing; Masa, Afro wearing lieutenant of the Seto gang that is unbelievably cool and smooth and can immediately attract the lustful affections of just about anyone including Nagasumi and his married mom; Maki, a foot tall, two-faced assassin for the Seto gang and personal bodyguard of San; Edomae, Lunar's father and head of the Edomae gang, he is hilarious all on his own as he is based off the Terminator and just Arnold Schwarzenegger in general; and there are just so many more memorable characters that makes this show great!This show is definitely worth the watch due to its hilarious and memorable characters that keep getting into situations that will keep you laughing from start to finish of the entire 26-episode series! It has both Japanese Sub and English Dub, but despite it being dubbed by FUNimation, the voice acting is surprisingly well done, and just like any voice acting should be, there voices help further define their characters. It has all the over-the-top moments as typical Anime does, and comedy that is so ingeniously written that you will have to pause it just so you can finish laughing and not miss a thing. Normally I would suggest to people to watch an anime before you buy, but I undoubtedly know that you will just fall in love with this show and keep watching it again and again! I especially recommend it since its at a very cheap and affordable price!

Love this SHOW!
This is a review of the DVD and casing I am a Fan of the Show so I will not review here. If you are looking to Purchase My Bride is a Mermaid, This is a good buy. There are Disks printed with basic graphics. The case is a standard DVD case that holds 2 DVDs on each sleeve. There are center tabs that hold the DVDs secure. Mine did not skip and all played well. No additional booklets or information. This is a case. A double sided print cover. So you get a couple extra pictures and info on the inside of the case. Clear see through case. The discs, Cases and printing is the same as I would expect if I had purchased at a store front. This is 4 Discs, in English Dub or Japanese with English sub.This is a S.A.V.E combo pack. If you just want to own the DVDs with out all the extras. This is exactly what your looking for.

Extremely Funny
This is in my top ten favorite anime. It had me laughing all the way through, from Nagasumi and his parents' horror at getting involved with yakuza to the over-the-top conclusion(s). Every time the hero turns around, he encounters another bizarre character, seemingly bent on his destruction (or at least driving him insane). The title theme, Romantic Summer, has become one of my favorite songs (largely by association).At the risk of spoiling something, picture the Terminator, complete with loads of "Ahnold" quotes delivered in impeccable dead-pan--wearing a Japanese school-girl's uniform. Now picture his uptight daughter's horror when he shows up at school. I just about lost it.

An enjoyable, charming romantic comedy!
This is a great romantic comedy! Well, more comedy then romance, but there both there none the less. For a comedy I think the jokes are pretty great! I didn't laugh real hard at em but they did put a big smile on my face, although there are a few jokes from a particular episode that aimed for the weird and shock factor that were more creepy then funny in my opinion. The Romance in this show is very very light. Only 3 episodes, the first, second, and last, really develop it, and even then its not by much, but there is romantic tension sprinkled through each episode, but like I said, its very light. My Bride is a Mermaid is a pretty average Romantic Comedy. The jokes are good, the romance isn't all that great, the animation is decent (with a few good exceptions), the story starts out promising but plateaus pretty quick into your typical Highschool Comedy, and the Main Character totally pulls the "last episode victory" out of his ass, but this show is still a joy to watch! Absolutely worth the price and a nice addition to any collection! Its not perfect, but its very enjoyable, and i'm glad I bought it!

My ribs hurt!
I love watching all animes like the Otaku I am. xD I was looking through some animes on here and this one caught my eye. I have never seen it before and thought I should take a chance so I ordered along with my other christmas presents. When I started watching I couldn't breath! My ribs literally hurt from how funny this show was. I loved it after the first 5 episodes and stayed up the whole night watching it front and back. Take it from me if you wanna watch something real funny get this anime. :D

Great anime in a great collection set
This is a charming anime made available in a cost effective collection for your entertainment pleasure.The story is a whimsical love story about a young boy saved by a young mermaid from a Yakuza family. Things get crazy from time to time and the story has both mature elements and times when it doesn't take itself too seriously.I thoroughly enjoyed watching and rewatching this anime. Enjoy!

Super Funny!
This series never fails to make me laugh but not any ol laugh. I laughed hard at some episodes of this series. I seen it before which made it easy to decide wether on not to add this to my anime library. Wishing hard for another season of this. Rewatch value is high also since I've watched this series multiple times. Great for any age group.
