Anime Like My Bride Is A Mermaid

Okay, so you've just finished My Bride is a Mermaid and you're feeling that specific blend of hilarious chaos and heartwarming romance. You need more! Don't worry, I've got you covered. We're diving deep into anime that capture that same wacky, fish-out-of-water (pun intended!) vibe.

More Mayhem and Mermaids (or Close Enough!)

When the Ordinary Gets a LOT More Interesting

First up, let's talk about shows where a normal dude (or dudette) gets thrown into a world of absolute craziness. Think accidental engagements, secret societies, or maybe just a whole lot of weirdos showing up on their doorstep.

Nisekoi: False Love is a great pick. It’s got the forced relationship trope down, with two rival gang heirs pretending to be a couple. The antics and misunderstandings are cranked up to eleven!

Urusei Yatsura is pure, unadulterated silliness. A totally average guy, Ataru, accidentally wins a game of tag against an alien princess, Lum. Now, he's stuck being "engaged" to her, and his life is never the same again. Get ready for some seriously retro fun!

Romance with a Side of…What Was That?!

Sometimes, the best anime are the ones that make you laugh until your sides hurt, even while they’re tugging at your heartstrings. We're talking about couples facing bizarre challenges and still somehow making it work.

Ah! My Goddess features Keiichi, a college student who accidentally summons a goddess! She decides to stay with him, leading to a life filled with divine intervention, misunderstandings, and a surprisingly sweet romance.

The Future Diary (Mirai Nikki) is a bit darker, but hear me out! It's got a protagonist, Yukiteru, forced into a deadly game with diary users who can predict the future. Yuno, a girl obsessed with him, becomes his protector...and maybe a little too obsessed. It’s a wild ride!

Because Underwater Antics Are Always Welcome

Alright, let's be real, part of the charm of My Bride is a Mermaid is the whole mermaid thing. If you're craving more fishy fun, these might reel you in.

Ponyo, while a movie and not a series, is a must-watch. This Ghibli classic tells the story of a goldfish princess who longs to be human and befriends a young boy. Prepare for adorable mayhem and beautiful animation!

Unfortunately, there aren’t tons of anime that directly mirror the mermaid theme while maintaining the comedic style, but we can find anime that use this idea in many different and creative ways.

Bonus Round: Pure, Unadulterated Chaos

If what you loved most was the sheer, unadulterated chaos of *My Bride is a Mermaid*, then these shows are your spirit animal.

Excel Saga is a masterclass in over-the-top comedy. It's about a girl named Excel who works for a secret organization that wants to conquer the world, one city at a time. Expect the unexpected… and maybe a few fourth-wall breaks.

Nichijou - My Ordinary Life is anything but ordinary. This anime takes everyday situations and cranks them up to absurd levels. From a girl with a wind-up key on her back to a talking cat, it’s a non-stop barrage of hilarious randomness.

So there you have it! A whole school of anime to keep you entertained after your deep dive into the world of My Bride is a Mermaid. Happy watching!
