Well i just got done with that series and it was quite diffrent that i expected. Than i also found it pretty good and quite enjoyable. plus it also left me with some questions when i finished it. like spoiler[ if yuta and mana every is able to return back into normal humans.].and i also thought it was funny and a little messed up. spoiler[how yuta was killed in every episode or was stabed or hurt in it as well]. than i was also reading the discreption on the manga and it seems like it ends in the same place as the anime so it seems so open ended. well thats whats i thought of it so how did you all end up liking it and if any one knows if theres a true ending to it i would so like to know.

I remember reading an interview some years back where Rumiko Takahashi said she intended to write at least one more story in the Mermaid universe. So there is no ending as of yet. What you saw is all there is.

Try to get a hold of the original Mermaid Forest ova released years ago in the States by CPM in vhs-format. The old-school design on it was fairly better than the ones you'd seen in the TV-series, and the story was similar but slightly implemented differently. Plus, it had a supersweet Ending-Song titled "Born To Love You" and some of Kenji Kawai's surreal bgm's.

There's another ova, Mermaid Scar, released by VIZ in vhs-format that had rather crappy char-designs, but quite alot gory than the tv-series version of th same title.
