Mahou no Mako-chan (officially titled Maco the Mermaid by Toei in English) is an early Magical Girl Anime loosely based on The Little Mermaid, created by Toei Animation's planning team and veteran screenwriter Masaki Tsuji.Mako is a young mermaid who one day rescues a handsome young man named Akira from drowning in a shipwreck and promptly falls in love with him. In order to be with her beloved, she convinces the Witch of the Sea to turn her into a human, becoming Ordinary High-School Student Mako Urashima.The rest of the series follows Mako in her new life on dry land as she makes friends, learns about the human world, and solves problems with the help of her magical pendant given to her by her dad, Ryuu-oh the King of the Sea.Made in 1970-71, Mahou no Mako-chan was the third entry in Toei's "majokko" series and the first to not be based on an existing manga. Along with contemporaries Attack No. 1 and Nozomi in the Sun, it's also one of the first anime made to appeal specifically to teenage girls, specifically viewers of Sally the Witch and Himitsu no Akko-chan who were maturing into adolescence. It suffered from mediocre ratings and is now considered one of the more obscure entries in the magical girl canon, but still has a devoted fan base - particularly in Europe and Latin America, thanks to its Italian, Spanish, and French dubs - who consider it a classic. | |

Parental Fashion Veto: Ryuu-oh does *not* approve of his daughter wearing a two-piece bikini, and uses his magic to transform it into an old-fashioned one-piece. Mako changes it back. | |

Lingerie Scene | |
| Mahou no Mako-chan / int_355bc288 | comment |
Lingerie Scene: A Trope Codifier in regards to anime. While not as salacious as the later Cutie Honey or Majokko Meg-chan, it was the first magical girl series to put the heroine in a Ms. Fanservice position, as it also features bathtub scenes and Mako wearing revealing clothing such as two-piece bikinis, miniskirts and see-through nighties. | |

| Mahou no Mako-chan / int_617f0563 | comment |
Heel–Face Turn: Tomiko sort of has one, she stays a Rich Bitch but halfway through the series finally loses interest in Akira and stops being Mako's rival over him, and by the end of the show can be considered something of a friend. | |

Shout-Out | |
| Mahou no Mako-chan / int_c75df49a | comment |
Shout-Out: Urashima is the name of the main character in a Japanese folk tale, who saves a turtle and gets to visit a kingdom underwater. Makoto Kino (Sailor Jupiter) in Sailor Moon may be a Shout-Out to this series itself, as she's also known as "Mako-chan" to friends, she's also a brunette who wears her hair in a ponytail, and in one scene wears an outfit almost identical to Mako's civilian garb. | |

Dub Name Change | |
| Mahou no Mako-chan / int_e2c4b927 | comment |
Dub Name Change: In the Italian dub, Mako is Ginny and Akira is Alex. She's still Mako in the French and Spanish dubs, but the spelling is changed (to Makko in French and romanized to Maco in Spanish). Toei also officially spells Mako's name as "Maco" in English. Most of the other character names were changed in French, including Akira to Anthony and Tomiko to Isabelle. | |

| Mahou no Mako-chan / int_f27ec906 | comment |
Identical Stranger: We meet a girl who looks like a blonde Mako in episode 13. She's murdered, though. In a subversion, this happened in a movie. The King was watching it and thought the actress was killed for real. Understandable, it looked like this was the first time he saw a movie. There's also Midori in episode 21. | |
