The News Team's slai has a new review up on the front page of AnimeSuperhero.com:
"ChaO is an adorable and beautiful rom-com from Studio 4°C and acclaimed veteran animator Yasuhiro Aoki that is distributed by GKids. It’s an unexpected and delightful remake of The Little Mermaid that you never thought you wanted to see but will be glad you did afterward.
Future Shanghai is a bustling city inhabited by humans and merpeople with water ways intertwined throughout the city of skyscrapers for merpeople to commute quickly from one place to another. A young reporter is running late to an interview when he spies an old sailor in the port who matches the man in his pamphlet about how humans and merpeople became at peace with one another. The story in the pamphlet tells of a young boy who fought a large sea creature. Having failed, he sinks underwater for several days before re-emerging with his love, the mermaid princess, and thus lived happily ever after, brokering peace between humans and merfolk. Sensing there’s probably more to the story, the reporter jumps aboard the old sailor’s boat and asks for the real story. After much pestering, the old sailor gives in and tells the reporter his tale."
