H2O: Mermaid Adventures

This show is a favorite of my young daughter, now 10 y/o. She has re-watched this now and then over the past several years. It seems that the critics just don't get it. Kids don't have the same expectations for animation that adults do...and who is the audience for this show anyway?! And any good parent knows that talking animals and magic are exactly how this age group plays every day.

I really hope the creators revive this program in some way. Surely, it's popularity on Netflix has proven true for a revival.

This show is basically an abomination to the original one. i understand that its targeted towards an younger audience but the only thing that you'll get out of this is a brainwashed stupid child. da vi eba maikata -a fellow 16yo

The show could've have the potential. However, I find China's flash animation greatly limit such potential to the animated adaptation to H2o Just add water. I like how the sea life talk to the mermaids, reminds me of the little mermaid. It's a shame that the show got cancelled as there isn't much extra substance to the point where the show got cancelled.

Flash animation also turned me off though I do like the anime designs. The changes in some of the characters also turn me off as well. The character designs are cute but I wish they thin the eyebrows and raise the stakes more for the show such as sirens. The show can be salvageable for something else.

I can see why a kid wouldn't mind the animation and acting but the voice acting really doesn't do it for me. The show's quality isn't too good and its a major turn off to me, there isn't much substance or plot too. (I also feel like adding the talking animals was a really lazy idea but i guess its fine)

It's like they stripped away all the personality of the original show. The Australian accents missing was jarring, the girls don't have individual personalities at all like the original (Rikki especially), the animals being able to talk feels forced and unnatural, and the plots are unoriginal and boring.

The colors are nice, though the animation is a bit glitchy at some points.

I watch a lot of kids shows and this one isn't bad, it's kinda fun. But because I've seen the original I can only see it as a stripped down version of the first show.

Maybe some kids will enjoy it, but if you're an og H20 fan, don't watch, it's disappointing.
