Final de temporada un poco lento, pero tierno que deja con expectativas de qué seguirá en las próximas temporadas con Nene, Hanako y Kao.

The ending for the season wasn't a big bang but the emotional side was a gut punch. From the reveals and the fishy drama to the lovely side of Nene and Hanako's relationship. The Kou and Mitsuba storyline is prime cuteness. Makes you want to keep watching.

This is a good ending for a season, with cliffhanger tho. But it makes curious about the next season of this anime.

Episode Context

The season finale takes a deliberately introspective turn, trading the supernatural spectacle of recent episodes for something quieter and more emotionally resonant. Anchored by the fairy tale framing of 'The Little Mermaid,' this episode zeroes in on Nene Yashiro's internal world, her sense of identity, her desires, and the weight of her deepening connection to Hanako. The pacing is contemplative, giving scenes room to breathe and letting character moments land with real emotional gravity. New figures from the mermaid's domain add a haunting layer to Nene's ongoing struggle between the human and supernatural sides of her life. Rather than delivering explosive closure, Lerche opts for a reflective, bittersweet tone that lingers on themes of belonging and personal growth. It's a finale that prioritizes emotional truth over spectacle, and it rewards investment in these characters.
