Episode 2:
Don't know where to start even.
So this is, practically a sequel to Little Mermaid, but closer to Grimm's version, rather than Disney. First episode was essentially an abridged version. And a good one, too. It was obviously "magically", but everything felt grounded, and as old(er) characters actually existed in the world and were not just shown to us for the sake of background. It's interesting that Lara was considered part of the family only after she reached the age of 10, though. But maybe that's some translation issue, and it was that she was granted royal power/privileges at the age of 10.
But anyway, the real story starts at the end of the episode, and it starts with a punch. What's interesting here is that the witch has fallen very low and into an aquarium, which is too small for her. I mean, seriously, those small aquariums are good maybe for a couple of neons, for goldfish or whatever the witch has become you need like 30 liters per fish, at least.
It is also interesting, that Mari is able to understand the witch, but who cares about that, when true love is yuri. I mean, it's obvious that it will be the case, right? Right? Although, they may chicken out and just make them very close friends. Also curious, why Lisa thought that it was Lara, that appeared, even though all sisters had a ring. Or is that related to the yuri light?
I am a bit sad, that they seemingly abandoned the "it was me who was vile" thought from the end of the 1st episode. Really hope, that it was not the focus of 2nd episode mostly because Lara was in shock, and that they will return to that in some way. I mean, it was her literal dying thought before reincarnation, it should have a significant effect on her.
But what I am even more sad about are those little sardines, that Lara bit the heads off, while being half-asleep. That was just brutal, they did not deserve that.
