⑴summary
In this hypothetical world, where a boy is playing aside the ocean with a fish and the fish turn into a mermaid .They had a lot of fun playing together under the sea.But when the boy ask the mermaid to come home with him the mermaid shakes her head at first but go home with the boy eventually.
The boy tells his parents about the mermaid and show it to them but in his parents eyes it is just a fish in the tank.His parents worried about him so they call the police. The police shows the picture of many kinds of fish and electric shocks the boy as a mental therapy; Showing picture of mermaid while tickling him to raise a habit associate see the mermaid equal to tickling.But it all fail.
finally by telling the boy to read a lot books he can not think of the image of a mermaid.he lost the ability of seeing mermaid. He took the fish back to the sea while a lot of red clothe police looking at him standing on the seacoast edges.he walks toward the ocean and the fish turn into a mermaid again.He and she began to smile and play around where the red cloth police seeing this and turning into a white-black people just like the boy does part by part.and then there’s two mermaid jumping out the horizon by the end.
⑵ What they are trying to tell us?
don’t forget the ability of dreaming just because you are not supposed to. Always be creative and believe in what you’ve believed.there will be many of the obstacle on your way for you to say your opinions which might against the resident knowledge that we’ve believed and come all the way through. But the world is changing always updating with new knowledge we never heard before. So be brave and trust yourself.The world will change because of you.
⑶ending
I think the ending of this anime is going to be the polices saw the mermaid too so they tell the other people in this country and they fight against the authority to change the law of “no day dream is allowed”.And since then there are more and more peoples who can see the mermaid and the life in this anime also in this country is becoming more and more colorful and they lead a happy life afterward.
By the end the red cloth police is turning into white and black people just like the boy does.And another reason is before the boy was arrested by the police when a scene showing a sentence which said”this world were not allowed to daydreamed as you pleased.”It use the past tense so in my opinion if it’s possible that this country now is free to daydream now but it used to be banned.So that there is a video or documentary telling this story to the people whom lives in this country and to tell them to be creative and to raise never-give up spirits.
