The 2011 anime series My Bride is a Mermaid is getting some new attention in Japan from Avex Pictures. With no releases for pretty much the majority of the past decade, the distributor has now scheduled a new compact set that will include the full twenty-six episode run plus the OVAs in one collection. It’ll be priced at 18,000 yen and is scheduled for a November 13th, 2020 debut.
Check out our review of the series.
Plot concept: Nagasumi’s in hot water after a beautiful, young mermaid named Sun saves him from drowning. The deep-sea sweetheart’s dad is a merman yakuza prone to executing anyone who learns his family’s scaly secret! Luckily, there’s a catch — if Nagasumi agrees to marry Sun, he just might avoid sleeping with the fishes!
Of course, the honeymoon ends before it even begins when Nagasumi finds his life flooded with gilled gangsters looking out for their boss’s little girl. The kid’s definitely in over his head, but there’s no denying the mermaid’s allure — Nagasumi’s hooked and Sun’s ready to come ashore!
