Anime Review: Seto no Hanayome


Today, I want to introduce an anime name Seto no Hanayome

Have you ever imagine one day being saved by a mermaid and your life is changed forever afterward? Seto no Hanayome is an anime that is just that. The anime is a romantic comedy following the main male protagonist Michishio Nagasumi, who while visiting family in the countryside fell into the ocean and was saved by a mermaid name Seto San.
 Later on, Nagasumi found out not only is he force to marry San to save both his own and San's life, San's family is part of the mermaid Yakuza with her father, Seto Gozaburo being the head of the gang (in addition to be very over protective of San). This make for some very funny scenes with Nagasumi trying to escape San's father's attempt to "kill" him. 
The anime is filled with hilarity, with every episode making you laugh so hard you will fall off your chair (I must admit I still fall of my chair while watching this series, for the third time). There are constant references to different pop culture and gags without ever going overboard and leaving the main story-line of the daily life of Nagasumi and San and their relationship. The anime also does a very decent job at keeping the audiences entertain and it will keep views wonder what will happen the next episode. The anime itself is a decent 25 episode with 2 OVA's without spoiling the ending, the anime did manage to finish the up in a very well and happy way (as it does with many romantic anime). However, some gags might be hard to understand if the viewer is not very familiar with Japanese culture and it might make the experiences not as great but it is still a pretty decent work and I believe it should be given a try. Not to mention, there is a Terminator in the anime but I won't go into that.

Overall, Seto no Hanayome is an anime that is good for a good laugh with friends and with such a high re-watch value, it will keep you entertain for a very long time. 

Angie Anime Score: 8/10 - Must Watch
