Seto no Hanayome

[Zati]

It seems this one is anticipated by some people, and it does look interesting.

TIAF07 Trailer
15 Second Commercial

Based on a manga by Kimura Tahiko serialised in Gangan Wing.

Nagasumi visits his grandmother near the sea during the summer. While visiting, he goes for a swim, and drowns right after entering the water. Fortunately for him he is saved by a young mermaid. Later as he tells the story to his family, a young girl named San appears at his home and begs Nagasumi to marry her.

She’s followed by two large thugs and they take both him and his parents to San`s home under the sea. If that wasn’t strange enough, it turns out San`s parents are mob bosses. Nagasumi is left with the choice of either death or marrying San. He chooses to marry a mermaid.

This would likely be that, except San`s father and some members of the mob are not exactly thrilled to have Nagasumi courting San and are determined to bring an end to their relationship--or him. And there is also the matter of keeping it a secret that San is a mermaid.

I've read the first couple of chapters for this series. I myself don't like reading much of these types of mangas, so I got bored. Now, animated it should be better for my tastes so I'll be looking forward to it. It should have some funny moments and a shitload of wierd characters.

I'm downloading this one to check it out. The plot sounds positively witless.

Edit: It was decent and funny. Quite chaotic. The main character dude is a whiner, at least in this first episode, but perhaps he will grow some balls later on. I'll keep watching to find out.

Seto no Hanayome - 18 - [Your-Mom]

The sexiest episode yet. If you watch this show at all for the ecchi moments then get this ASAP. Also, Michishiro Nagasumi is the best harem guy I've ever seen. Not only does every female character get wet whenever he looks at them but he's actually not a giant tool like most other harem guys I've encountered. Good for him.

I'm not reading the previous posts since I'm not up-to-date.


Seto no Hanayome 17th Episode Broadcast on AT-X Cancelled

In an official announcement on the website for the anime series Seto no Hanayome, it has been announced that the broadcast of the seventeenth episode of the series on the cable network Anime Theater X (better known as AT-X) has been canceled. The episode was scheduled for broadcast on September 3.

According to the announcement, the broadcast was canceled due to copyright infringement concerns. Specifically, in episode seventeen, some of the characters that appear in the episode closely resemble characters from another show. Negotiations were held with representatives from the other show, but the problem was significant enough to prompt AT-X to cancel the episode altogether.

Although no announcement has been made publicly as to which television show is levying the accusations, one Japanese web blog has mentioned that the show levying the accusations is probably the action series Kamen Rider Stronger.

The end of the Seto no Hanayome announcement mentions that the staff of the show hope to fix the problem and eventually reschedule the AT-X broadcast.

From what I see, the series is on episode 18... so this episode 17 they talk about, is it a re-broadcast? Does the series broadcast on another channel than AT-X?

It seems 19-21 have been released by a group called Philanthropy...I would recommend avoiding these releases. Not only are they completely unedited and poor translations the timing is also pretty atrocious as well. You might as well watch a RAW.
