Today I will be reviewing the series Orenchi no Furo Jijou! First and foremost the main thing I loved about this series is that you can finish all 13 episodes in around an hour as they are all 4 minutes-ish long.
The story is about a regular high-school boy called Tatsumi who finds a merman called Wakasa drying out on a river beach, he then takes him home lets him live in his bathtub. At least 90% of the entire series takes place within this bathroom.
Each episode has a central/event problem that circles around both characters, however these issues are always light hearted. Every episode also stands on it's own and never has a follow up episode to continue on too, so the series is very simple and easy to get through without much thought.
The Interactions between these two are so adorable as their characters/personalities clash a lot due to Tatsumi being quite stoic and quiet.
Overall this was a cute light hearted series that was very funny and easy to watch, the animation was fantastic as it was only aired late last year and the character design was very deep for such a short anime.
Story: 6/10 - There isn't much story line, but each episode does have a structure to it that will not leave you disappointed.
Characters: 9/10 - It would be a full 10/10 but I just wanted longer episodes tbh, the characters have so much potential, the series should definitely be longer.
Art Style/Animation: 10/10 - I personally love the art style, it's easy, relaxing, very bright and modern.
Overall: 8/10 - I loved this series, I can't get over the length though, I really wanted each episode to be far longer. However I also think it's amazing the way it is... I'm quite divided on this in all honesty.
This series is also available on Crunchyroll:
