Bermuda Triangle: Colorful Pastrale

If you're looking for a masterpiece of an anime, this ain't it.

If you're looking for an anime about cute mermaid girls doing cute things and can put aside the fact that physics will break in this and the mermaid aspect is nothing more than a reason to put tails on girls and have them float around, this is right up your alley.

I'm not sure what happened with the earlier episodes but both the sound and animation was incredibly mediocre early on. Around episode 4 this series started to up the swimming cycles in animation and also added more SFX that makes you "feel" ... like your underwater.

The story line is rather generic, just girls going around and some vague idea they're working towards along with some hidden potential plot that reveals itself later

Static visuals and backgrounds are absolutely gorgeous even if the character designs leave a bit to be desired and at times the animation itself feels lazy.

This isn't a fantastic anime, it's not a great anime either. It's a good anime that's cute and one that's not deserving of the harsh criticism it's receiving. After having now finished the anime, this anime is one you must give a chance if you're a fan of all things cute.

Bermuda Triangle: Colorful Pastrale little can be said about this anime that when I saw it here to later see it, it did not catch my attention and I was not wrong since the story is not a big deal, and I do not understand how it started "" ALERT OF SPOILER "to first reopen a cinema" that the people already considered dead "and make everyone enjoy it again to become a group of idols leaving in" a very easy way "something in which they had only been already making an effort taking that point into account you will be able to realize that the ... story has no coherence also that it does not give you any indication that the girls "leaving canon aside" want or know how to sing, as in the development of the anime you do not they explain nothing in detail "although in some moments they try" but they preferred to give the girls more time and that we see their day to day "that at times it feels as if I were watching a cartoon that follows the starting pattern, there is a problem, whatresolve and end "

In general it is an anime that I would not recommend "unless you want to see something different or you have nothing to do with it" "like me" and as I always say, if you are a person who watches anime for its history and character development, this without doubt you will hate it with all your being and more if you do not like it or do not catch your attention the animes where the main plot is the music "although in this one it is not so notorious"

Earlier on, I mentioned that with how this anime in its earlier stages was obscenely prepared and paced, anyone can just pass this off as a subpar anime. Oh...how wrong (and right) I was.

Instead, it became another CGDCT-based anime...that is worth a breakthrough in human physics, with anthropomorphic humans in mermaid form, living in the underwater town that ain't the levels of the lost city of Atlantis, but still it's there. Great.

The aforementioned CGDCT based anime has but only 2 mediums: linear or non-linear story, and Bermuda Triangle forms somewhat of the former. Despite that, the producers must be ecstatic that their original idea actually ... came into fruition somewhat, and let me tell you, it (does) actually gets better than this.

Without much background of the overall series, in this Cardfight! Vanguard-esque universe of a spin-off sponsored by Bushiroad, the sea village of Parrel is home to the main cast of mermaid girls: Kanon, Serena, Fina, Sonata and Carol. Their main interest? To revitalize a theatre that has been long used but abandoned by townsfolk due to the deterioration of its equipment. Oh, and perform some songs too.

As simple as it sounds, it's actually a lot of work for these 5 cheerful girls to get the old theatre re-worked as brand new for the other Parrel townsfolk to visit yet again. And in the meantime, get ready for a whole lot of nothingness as these girls correlate in their daily issues!

The group of mermaid girls don't quite have any personality (and I'll admit it's hard to tell them apart), but what matters is their friendship with the other recurring adults in the same shop selling snack cakes. Seemingly, that's their main area of contact and conversation.

The main gripe I'll always have is how screwed up the character designs are, especially the appropraitely triangle-shaped eyes that always have me wondering how disjointed they always look. But regardless, I can see one-to-one with this show no problem.

Seven Arc Pictures actually made the WHOLE experience of Bermuda Triangle shine with its use of cheap but striking colourful art of pastrale and the wonky but smooth animation. WOW am I bamboozled by the results! The one thing on my mind has always been on the awful presentation of the entire town of Parrel with the adjacent figures, but surprisingly it was a rather good effort on the production staff to showcase (or rather, to sell) this show's decently beautiful and gorgeous world. Good job I must say.

OST is plenty fine, nothing that strikes as mediocre, but just meh. Both the OP and ED exhibits the sense of joyfulness that comes with colour and excitement, and sadly I'm just not feeling this, they sound OK to my ears.

Even without its original source inspirations, Bermuda Triangle is a show that can be stood on its own, and to a good effect. No, this isn't a good anime, but it stands in the "so bad it's good" category of anime: divisive but one that can be enjoyed if given the right circumstances and situations. As for myself, I can only get bored and sleep on this anime...if the worldbuilding was just as cool as the premise says and not fumble with its deliverance.
