How weird, I was literally just wondering if the poll might ever ask who is best JoJo (it's Jotaro, of course).

As for the list, I'm surprised My Bride is a Mermaid wasn't there, but it's so rare to see Mermaid Melody mentioned literally anywhere that I'll take the tradeoff.

Um, not only is Cross Account definitely a Jump property, it ran in Weekly Shonen Jump. Anime smile + sweatdrop

I can see getting it confused for Cross Game or Cross Manage (but that last 1 was also WSJ), though.


Ah, I was confusing it with Real Account. I must have blocked the actual manga from memory. Thanks. Though my points about the other manga still stand.

Failing to include Mero is truly a tragedy, indeed.

Woah, Muromi-san. I'd forgotten all about that anime.

Also, Ball in the poll is spelled wrong ("Bal")

No yakuza mermaids like in the "My bride is a mermaid" / "Seto no Hanayome" ?

The list was more of a "different types of merpeople" list than a "best of" list, so I'm fine with it skipping My Bride is a Mermaid (Seto no Hanayome) in favor of Mermaid Melody: Pichi Pichi Pitch for it's representation of a standard fish woman/ beauty on land mermaid. Goes for Umi Monogatari being represented as a story of 'normal people but underwater' over A Lull in the Sea, which I still find over-rated and uncommitted to depicting an underwater life that makes sense. (pet peeves- TV, newspapers, boiling soup on a stove... all underwater)

MM:PPP was licensed and dubbed by ADV but it never got released here. Brittney Karbowski was 1 of the leads.
