Since then, his attitude towards the others love lives does simmer, but is ever present. This is where I think Hippo is redeemed as far as character development, as he starts to learn about where the girls come from with them pursuing love, as he also has a star-crossed love. It's not until episode 25 that he gets a taste of his own medicine, when he inexplicably falls for the Dark Lover Yuri, who remains unaware to who he is thanks to his human disguise. However, he also tries to keep her in line when she tries flirting with Kaito and shirking her duties as a Mermaid Princess, with hilarious consequences. Hippo's role for most of the show is to help Luchia and her friends rally together the seven Mermaid Princesses to awaken Aqua Regina and seal the evil of the seas. Speaking of, when has anyone had a pet penguin in sailor's clothing? But I digress. Hippo is Luchia's guardian from the North Pacific Ocean, and also acts as her pet while on land.

And I will include only the main characters from both Pichi Pichi Pitch and Pichi Pichi Pure, so characters like Meru won't be on this list. For clarification, I'm gonna focus more on the anime than the manga, since both have the characters relatively behave the same and there's not much real difference between the two mediums. Those being: clear and thorough development, entertainment as far as serious or comical scenes go, their role and significance to the story as a whole, as well as personal interest. As always, this is purely opinion based, and I am ranking these characters based on my own criteria for a good character. So that does beg the question which characters are the best, the most developed, the most interesting? Well I don't know about you guys, but I feel we should jump right in, mics in hand, to see who fills the top 10 Mermaid Melody characters.Īs always, let's set the groundwork for this list. The majority of them have very well-developed story arcs that mesh together, each of them have their own inner turmoils they have to overcome (and not all related to having a guy fall in love with them), and their interactions together are equal parts hilarious and emotional. The cast of Mermaid Melody are a delightful batch of colorful and interesting characters that really make this show so amazing.
But a story is nothing without one key metric: it's characters. Not to say I can blame the popularity: everything from the gags, the songs, to even the overarching plot make it such an engaging show. humans? I looked further, and now here we are.Īs most of you are no doubt versed in, Mermaid Melody is a pretty popular anime even years after it had been concluded.
