Mermaid Melody Pichi Pichi Pitch is a shoujo manga written by Michiko Yokote and illustrated by Pink Hanamori, which ran in Nakayoshi from 2002 to 2005. An anime adaptation aired from 2003 to 2004. The series combined two subcategories of Magical Girl — the Magic Idol Singer (sans Older Alter Ego for once in the genre) and the Magical Girl Warrior— while taking its style and substance from the original version of The Little Mermaid and plunked it into a magical world of princesses battling demons.Lucia Nanami is the new girl in town, and with her foreign name, clumsy nature and odd talking penguin friend Hippo (more of a nagging guardian than anything), she's got enough problems. Of course, she's also the regent monarch of the North Pacific Ocean, with the title of Pink Pearl Princess — except she lost her pink pearl. And by "lost", she means "gave away", to save a drowning boy back when she was six. The boy turns out to be school idol and international competitive surfer Kaito Dōmoto, and he's being targeted by the same league of sea demons that destroyed the kingdoms of the Atlantic princesses Hanon and Rina and kidnapped the Arctic and South Pacific princesses. Lucia (now with her pearl back), Hanon and Rina have to save those two, find the other two princesses that disappeared after the attacks, and navigate Lucia's love life, except, oh yeah, mermaid legend goes that confessing your identity to a human will turn you into seafoam.Although the anime is sugary and child-friendly, and the manga was serialized in a magazine aimed at young girls, the latter is a lot more dark and mature. Lucia and Kaito have a lot more subtext going on, embarrassing situations are more so (for example, in the manga, Lucia accidentally wins a beachside beauty contest when her bikini top comes undone, flashing the audience; in the anime, another girl wins and Lucia's much more modest suit is saved) and there's a bit of gore and more threatening villains.Another thing that sets the Pichi Pichi mermaids apart from their contemporaries is the combination of the Magic Idol Singer and Magical Girl Warrior. Lucia and friends need their pearls to sing, and sing well; their singing voices can defeat the enemies, and upgrades come via new songs for their repertoires. Each girl, except for Noel and Coco, who spend most of their time in the background, also gets her own Image Song that can be used either in battle or in dramatic situations. In the second season and the second half of the first, some villains also get their own songs.Once licensed by ADV Films, only to be dropped a year later when they couldn't find a TV deal for the 52-episode first season. The manga is licensed and has been released in its entirety by Del Rey. |

Darker and Edgier: The manga, at least compared to the anime. Part of this is because the manga was aimed at teenagers while the anime was aimed at younger audiences. One example is Maria trying to molest Kaito at one point of the manga (the scene was cut off from the animé). |

Our Hippocamps Are Different: Hippo's true form is a hippocamp with a near-perfect classical design. He's got wings, he's got a very long tail, and his hooves are bronze. However, his tail is serpentine and lacks the fins at the end. His mane also reaches all the way to his tail. Hippo rarely makes use of his hippocamp form, however, favoring his human and penguin forms. |

Chromatic Arrangement: It follows this so well that Hanon appears to forget the word "aqua" in the manga when she and Lucia meet up with Rina. |

Inconsistent Dub |
| Mermaid Melody Pichi Pichi Pitch (Manga) / int_5b607875 |
comment |
Inconsistent Dub: The Italian dub songs. For example, Lucia's Japanese image song, Splash Dream, was not given an Italian counterpart. Therefore, when a scene would call for it, the Italian Lucia would sing either Torno all'Oceano (which is actually the Italian counterpart of Hanon's song Ever Blue) or a random song from their established repertoire. Which, of course, caused confusion in certain episodes, such as the episode where, for whatever reason, Hanon ended up singing Stella Preziosa (Rina's song). The Spanish adaptation used the Japanese raws, to the point to keep the credits in the original kanji during the opening and ending, but inexplicably some episodes utilized what is very obviously the script of the unreleased American dub. This includes the tons of sea-based puns inserted in said dub (some of them impossible to translate to Spanish, but still done literally!). |

Spell My Name with an S: The early fansubs made a lot of spelling errors regarding the names, but some fans still like to say the wrong names and even start debates over it. The most popular ones are Lucia/Luchia/Ruchia, Rina/Lina, Gackto/Gakuto/Gaito (with the last one being anime Canon), Caren/Karen, Noel/Nuil/Noelle, Michel/Mikeru, Michal/Mikaru, Lanhua/Ranfa/Ran Fa/Lang Fa and Nicola/Nikora. Three of the Dark Lovers also have names that the fanbase debates over, with Izul/Izuru, Eril/Eriru, Yuri/Yuuri being commonly used variations. The correct spelling of the above contested names are meant to be Lucia, Rina, Caren, Noel, Michel, Michal, Lanhua, Nicola, Yzeure, Erill and Urey. |

Theme Twin Naming: Gackto says his true name is Gakuto, with some of the same kanji from Kaito's name when he reveals that they are twins. Even with the name Gackto, he matches Kaito, as they're both named after popular singers. In the anime, this was just changed to having Gackto's name be Gaito all along, getting rid of the Hollywood Spelling issue as well as downplaying his status as a Lawyer-Friendly Cameo of Gackt. |

Artistic Age: Gackt looks a bit too much like his namesake to possibly be thirteen years old. This is also true of pretty much every character in the series; Maria doesn't really look old despite the many jokes at her expense, and aside from Hanon and the characters who are supposed to be small children, most of the girls are unbelievably stacked. |

No Romantic Resolution: At the end, all the couples are set. There is one little problem though: Nagisa and Masahiro still don't know they're dating mermaids. Which means Hanon and Rina can't just come and go when duty calls and hope for a stable relationship. Lucia doesn't have this problem because Kaito knows. |

Ape Shall Never Kill Ape: Mermaids can't harm other mermaids with their songs. Note that Sara is not in violation of this rule: it is made pretty clear that only songs bestowed by the Goddess will not harm other mermaids. "Return to the Sea" is a song born from Sara's hatred, NOT a gift from Aqua Regina. Therefore it would not be bound by that rule. Still, given that the other mermaids can sing songs that aren't from Aqua Regina — Mizuiro no Senritsu being the most blatant example because it was written by a human — there's still a bit of a question there. |

Run the Gauntlet: One Pure episode had Michel's minions do something like this, although the heroines went past 4 (of the 5) enemies without having to sing away at them. The first, Alala, was merely bypassed, the second, Lanhua, was struck down by a bowling ball (how it got there is beyond me), the third, Lady Bat, was repelled by the fact her breath smelled of curry, and the fourth, Napoleonfish, let them pass after being threatened with a beating (He was about a third their height). |

Limited Animation: The anime relies heavily on Stock Footage and Talking Heads and simplified the character designs.

Freudian Trio: Both Hanon and Lucia have very Id tendencies, which leaves Rina the roles of both Ego and Superego to moderate them. |

No Full Name Given: Caren, Coco, Noel, Sara and, actually, most characters have only one name; the exceptions are the main trio and the men in their lives. |

Gratuitous Princess |
| Mermaid Melody Pichi Pichi Pitch (Manga) / int_eca6c7f9 |
comment |
Gratuitous Princess: Each ocean on earth is ruled by a mermaid princess — the protagonist, Lucia, is the princess of the North Pacific Ocean and has to recruit the other oceans' mermaid princesses. The status of "princess" itself is fairly irrelevant, as the girls aren't seen doing many rulings. |

Puberty Superpower: At the age of 13. Lucia missed this date because she didn't have her pearl, so it was postponed to one year later. |

Love Makes You Evil: The Dark Lovers and Sara. Michal is a subversion; she pulled a Face–Heel Turn, but didn't completely turn evil, as she was manipulated into being possessed. |
