5.0 out of 5 stars Rumiko did it again!, November 18, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Mermaid's Scar [VHS] (VHS Tape)

When I saw this anime I was blown away,the story was wonderful, the art is very good (concidering it's age of corse) Overall I love this anime, I must have rented it over 7 times before I bought it. I wouldnt recomend this anime for any of the weak of heart though. It had a very high gore factor, (not as bad as Ninga Scroll) My only complaint is the voice of Mana, I think that Yuta did a very admirable job and so did Misa, but Mana... Well it makes up for the bad acting with the wonderful story. a must buy.

5.0 out of 5 stars Dark anime yet quite appealing, January 26, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: Mermaid's Scar [VHS] (VHS Tape)

This is not supposed to be scary just dark and mystifying. This story is graphically violent. I wouldn't recommend to overtly sensitive people.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great video, February 4, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Mermaid's Scar [VHS] (VHS Tape)

This is one of Rumiko Takahashi's great works. It's about two teenagers(Mana and Yuta) who are not quite what they seem to be. They have consumed the Mermaid's Flesh, an ancient poison that can kill the one who eats it, or damn them to eternal life. They will never age, and never die, not from any injury. Only when their heads are cut off may its victims find peace. But in the small town near the seashore, rumors are going around. About a woman, who was in a fatal boating accident, and simply walked away unharmed. Is there another who survived the curse of the Mermaid's flesh? This one's pretty macabre.
