Jun 15, 2010 starshinesMonet Recommended This is one of the saddest, most beautiful, honest versions of The Little Mermaid I have ever seen. A childhood favourite, it left a very strong impression on me from the very first moment. An impression the grew with me, instead of fading away. I have always found it interesting how true to life the story is in relation to how relationships might actually work in real life. Stories and fairy tales from this age have this habit of teaching us that 'one day our prince/princess will come and we will live happily ever after" - in this story, however, this is not what happens, ...

Jan 4, 2010 wichuraiana Recommended Someone I'd very much like to meet in the nun-run Catholic elementary school I attended put this on a VHS with Disney's The Little Mermaid, and so I first watched the two in a marathon on a day the teacher was out. Being precociously pretentious, I was irritated at how little the Disney version resembled the Andersen fairy tale I loved and slept through it. Then came this anime. I was enthralled. The characters and backgrounds were beautiful in a graceful, idealized way I'd never seen before. The ending, especially, was beautiful in a way I'd never envisioned in all those readings. That school was forced ... Read more Open Gift Report
Jan 10, 2016 Fear_the_Reefer Mixed Feelings Once upon a time, there was a Danish princess who was only a few blushing years away from coming of age. She had everything a young princess could possibly want... A loving family, the respect of the community, and the most beautiful singing voice in the entire kingdom... A voice that could put even the ancient sirens to shame. But as is normally the case in stories such as these, the princess was not satisfied with the luxurious life that’s been afforded to her... She wanted more from life, and only the very boundaries she’d been forbidden from crossing could ... Read more Open Gift Report
May 5, 2017 Shiny_Piece Mixed Feelings I just wanna say that The Little Mermaid was my favorite Disney movie growing up. But that does not at all effect how I view Ningyohime, and I will not be comparing the two, because I no longer watch American TV. Story: 7/10 The overall idea is very sweet and romantic. I thought everything was paced well, and while I haven't read it, I've heard that it's true to the original source material. Art: 5/10 It's... okay. The animation, while it's not the best, is just all right. Nothing special. I mean, it's no Kimi no Na Wa, but it's certainly no School Days. I think it's especially good ...

Sep 6, 2014 Siyuan Not Recommended I watched this movie, because I heard it followed the original story much more than the Disney version. Which is true. Most of the time. But I don't remember anything about an evil cat in the original one. I didn't quite get that part. The story was not bad, but I did not like this strange cat part of it... Read more Open Gift Report
May 17, 2023 Firechick12012 Mixed Feelings When you hear the words The Little Mermaid, what comes to mind? You're probably thinking of Disney's 1989 animated movie, which is understandable since that's considered the most well known adaptation of the 1837 Hans Christian Andersen fairy tale. The Little Mermaid is one of the most famous fairy tales in existence, and whether you really know about the story or not, you're very likely to have at least heard of it in some capacity, whether through the Disney movie, reading some illustrated version of the book somebody put out, or other means. But what many don't know is that the Disney movie isn't the ... Read more Open Gift Report |
