Synopsis

The glittering spotlights. The sparkling, fluffy, cute outfits. The charming voices while dancing with bright smiles. Under the dazzling lights on the big city stage, these would be the mermaid idols who swim and dance freely underwater. But far from this big city, the girls once lived in the peaceful village of Parrel. These girls, who would not even imagine such a glittering future for themselves, are instead just raising a fuss over the snack cakes they are eating. This is the story of the cheerful daily life of mermaids who strive their hardest everyday. (Source: Official website)

If you're looking for a masterpiece of an anime, this ain't it. If you're looking for an anime about cute mermaid girls doing cute things and can put aside the fact that physics will break in this and the mermaid aspect is nothing more than a reason to put tails on girls and have them float around, this is right up your alley. I'm not sure what happened with the earlier episodes but both the sound and animation was incredibly mediocre early on. Around episode 4 this series started to up the swimming cycles in animation and also added more SFX that makes you "feel"like your underwater. The story line is rather generic, just girls going around and some vague idea they're working towards along with some hidden potential plot that reveals itself later Static visuals and backgrounds are absolutely gorgeous even if the character designs leave a bit to be desired and at times the animation itself feels lazy. This isn't a fantastic anime, it's not a great anime either. It's a good anime that's cute and one that's not deserving of the harsh criticism it's receiving. After having now finished the anime, this anime is one you must give a chance if you're a fan of all things cute.

Bermuda Triangle: Colourful Pastrale is an extremely disappointing anime. In the 8 years since it started, Cardfight Vanguard has created a number of unique and interesting clans that inhabit the world of Cray, in which this story takes place. These include: Robot Dinosaurs; Ninja Dragons; Angel Doctors; Ghost Pirates; the Insect Mafia; and many more, not least of which is Bermuda Triangle: a force consisting solely of mermaid idols. As you can probably guess, this clan is the primary focus of Colourful Pastrale, the first Vanguard series dedicated to exploring Cray itself, rather than the people playing the card game. And I must say, as afan of both the clan itself, and of entertaining anime, my expectations were not met even slightly. The story of Colourful Pastrale follows a group of 5 young mermaids as they revitalise and then run the local movie theatre. At least, it pretends to. In reality, the majority of the anime’s runtime is spent on watching the girls mess around and eat cake, with little to nothing actually happening. The characters are equally weak, the main difference between each of the main 5 being their costume and hair colours. They have no development, virtually no backstory, and very little chemistry with one another, which, for a genre focused primarily on character interaction, is even worse than a lack of plot. But, most telling of all, it just isn’t enjoyable to watch. It’s mindless and terribly dull. For a show set at the bottom of the ocean, it’s ironically lacking in depth, and it comes across as incredibly joyless and by-the-numbers. Don’t watch Bermuda Triangle: Colourful Pastrale. I’m sure there are hundreds of anime that do everything it does better, and without the shadow of wasted potential hanging over them.
