Mermaid

📖 SYNOPSIS

The anime unfolds in a world where the act of using one's imagination is strictly prohibited. The story centers on a young boy who, against the societal norm, rescues a fish. To everyone's astonishment, the fish transforms into a mermaid, defying the established reality. This act of wonder, born from the boy's perceived "imagination," leads to his immediate arrest. The authorities, upholding the ban on imagination, deem his actions a transgression. As punishment for his "nonsense," the boy is subjected to a process that robs him of his ability to imagine, effectively silencing his creative spirit within this restrictive environment. The narrative explores themes of conformity, censorship, and the power of the human imagination.
