Commenter

Ah shit, watching anime again: Goodbye Lala (New Anime) #1 "Lala the Little Mermaid" at TOKYO MX

Commenter

Can they actually break the curse of "anniversary anime are always trash"... kinda curious ngl

Commenter

Definitely one of the shows I was super hyped for this season

Commenter

It's an original anime so like, can I actually get my hopes up?

Commenter

GABURI LMAOOOOOOOOOOO

Commenter

Bro was literally born with teeth lmao...

Commenter

Bro is out here chewing on raw fish the second it's born

Commenter

Bro was eating random fish and fingers right after birth lmao wtf

Commenter

How the hell are these guys even speaking underwater?????

Commenter

Bro's biting into it like Gatchan wtf

Commenter

Looks like we're heading straight for Little Mermaid territory lol

Commenter

Bro grew up way too fast, turn him back rn

Commenter

Thought this was gonna be like Ponyo but nah totally different

Commenter

Bro ate a passing fish right after being born lmao www

Commenter

Carrying her out to swim like that is lowkey wholesome tho

Commenter

Humans are a filthy and cursed existence...

Commenter

BRING. HER. BACK.

Commenter

Alright listen, don't meet humans ok? Don't you dare... Seriously, DO NOT.

Commenter

She's not a round little mochi anymore, it's so over

Commenter

The "I wanna go to the human world" mood hits on schedule

Commenter

She's literally hoarding so much human junk rn

Commenter

The human artifacts are just piling up...

Commenter

1787, the Bastille attack was in 1789 so this is 2 years prior, basically Rose of Versailles era

Commenter

Every time the BGM hits I'm just like "wait, did I hear this in Revue Starlight...?"

Commenter

Boss! There's a boy coming out of the water!

Commenter

Boss, a boy just surfaced from the ocean!

Commenter

Oh shit, here comes the classic Little Mermaid routine

Commenter

Boss! A human fell from the sky(?)!

Commenter

It's legit the Little Mermaid. Originals usually end in tragedy tho...

Commenter

Is that actually the prince lmaoooooo

Commenter

Can this dude even breathe if he goes up on land?!

Commenter

Mermaid princess just bumped into a human prince who fell into the ocean

Commenter

Pops just caught her interacting with humans...

Commenter

That ain't just breaking a taboo... That's a super-taboo, an absolute omega-taboo!!!!

Commenter

That ain't just a taboo, that's a MEGA taboo right there!

Commenter

An outlier! Burn 'em at the stake! (Even though we're underwater)

Commenter

Well, considering an unblemished specimen just dropped down

Commenter

So this anime is doing the family rebellion plot too huh...

Commenter

100 days confinement, honestly way lighter than expected

Commenter

Feel like she shoulda been taught more, but does pops even know the details lol

Commenter

Is it even chill to throw them in the same cell tho

Commenter

Is getting 100 days jail time really the punishment for breaking the omega-taboo?

Commenter

She knows land sand but the security is paper thin lmao

Commenter

Are they really trying to make a Reiwa-edition modern Little Mermaid here

Commenter

A potion that turns mermaids into humans

Commenter

A potion that grants Lala's current wish

Commenter

Lala's getting chewed out, the color palette here totally has that retro vibe and it's so good

Commenter

It's a straight-up Little Mermaid!!!!!!

Commenter

This is literally just The Little Mermaid at this point

Commenter

Bro... are you on some weird drugs rn (slang)

Commenter

Thought she was Ursula for a sec, turns out it's just the queen... (Dark Mirror)

Commenter

We don't even need Non-Human Academy anymore at this rate

Commenter

Wait~ she's actually super chill and listens to everything, what a nice lady!

Commenter

They taught her humans are vile creatures. But Lala found an exception. Why? Is questioning the taboos forbidden in this world? And then the auntie shows up when she's locked up!! Are moray eels replaced by sea snakes and goblin sharks?

Commenter

How the hell is it hot enough to melt iron underwater bro

Commenter

Drinking a forbidden potion just to end up around Lake Biwa...

Commenter

Drinking a forbidden drug and heading to the Lake Biwa area, what a high-tier Kansai/forbidden pun lmao

Commenter

There's the title drop...

Commenter

Honestly this witch lady doesn't seem like a bad person at all so far...

Commenter

SHE TURNED INTO A HUMAN OOOOOOOMGGGGGG

Commenter

I honestly don't think this witch is a bad guy. She probably had those exact same feelings for a human back in the day, didn't she

Commenter

Little Mermaid... bubbles... bubble economy... ugh my head...

Ngl watching her instantly start gnawing on raw fish right after birth has me dying, like girl chill out you literally spawned two seconds ago lol.
