Above Average Ecchi

Valkyrie Drive: Mermaid is an Yuri, ecchi, action anime. It is produced by Arms. It is about a 16 Year old named Mamori, who is contaminated with a virus, being sent to an Island with simular girls like her.

The show had decent pacing. The way that the story is written allows it to have a lot of fanservice. In the first 2/3's of the show, it is episodic, but then the they ended the show with a boring plot involving Mirei, the second main character and Momaka, the main villain, which ends the show with a boring fight. Anyways the fight had all the standard clichés and was nothing special. I would prefer if it kept things simple and It was just them having fun, instead of having some villain taking over the island.

The characters in the show had well defined strengths and weaknesses. There was decent character development. Mamori Tokonome was likable and a good main character. She doesn't really change during the series. Mirei Shikishima was also very likable and was mysterious. In the end of the show, she learns that having good friends is good. The main villain in the anime is Momoka Sagara and she is the typical villain. She has a backstory with Mirei and she is quite evil. In the end she learns that being evil is bad and stops being evil. The other characters are decent and are memorable.

The animation of this show was great. It is better animated than a lot of ecchi. The character designs of the show was decent, the main characters designs were the best. The fights or battles were 50% kissing and the 50% fighting. They were animated well.

The voice acting in this show was great. I watched the Sub and the voice actors fitted their roles. The OP was really good and the ED is an annoying, catchy song.

In conclusion, I found the anime quite enjoyable.I would recommend this anime to people want an anime with a lot of ecchi scenes.
