From Masaaki Yuasa, the guy behind that weird Devilman Crybaby anime on Netflix comes a kid's movie. Oh, yeah it's gonna be weird with some vivid animation. It's another take on the Little Mermaid and boy does it look weird.
Synopsis:
When his classmates invite him to play keyboard in their band, their practice sessions bring an unexpected guest: Lu, a young mermaid whose fins turn to feet when she hears the beats, and whose singing causes humans to compulsively dance - whether they want to or not. As Kai spends more time with Lu, he finds he is able to tell her what he is really thinking, and a bond begins to form. But since ancient times, the people in the village have believed that mermaids bring disaster and soon there is trouble between Lu and the townspeople, putting the town in grave danger.
