Reviews Oct 23, 2021 Good show, the character development between each character is so well done and seeing gura, marine, ina and aqua together brings me a lot of joy It has a lot of potential.The sound was pretty good too and what i liked the most is the artstyle. I really like it, it might not be the most detailed but its simple to look at. Also the voice acting was done well, you could almost believe the marine is a real pirate.Even though theres a language barrier between the jp and en girls, they somehow still overcome it and make it funny and the translation are good... for non japanese speaking people.#Umiseaforever Reviewer’s Rating: 8 What did you think of this review?

That said, the comedy is unfortunately tamer and far from the more interesting style of Holo no Graffiti. Being just few minutes long and still mostly episodic format, don’t expect much more from the story being a canvas for the jokes and tee-tee.While it’s nice to see Hololive content with a traditional... 2D animation, the quality is unfortunately dangerously close to being a picture drama. I wish for us to someday get more animated content with the quality of Hololive Alternative instead.Concerning the sound, a choice has been made to let the JP members speak in Japanese and EN members speak in English. While that makes sense on paper, I think it would be better to just have the EN members speak in Japanese too, as they are both capable of doing that. Additionally, as much as I like Ina, her voice acting when reading from paper is a bit too stiff and different from her natural speaking during streams, so speaking Japanese could muffle this defect a bit.Overall, there is no need to watch this if you don’t like Hololive as if that’s the case you won’t like this. And even if you are, don’t set your expectations too high, just enjoy this as a small side project. Reviewer’s Rating: 5 What did you think of this review?

While the idea of a shark vtuber and a squid vtuber going on adventures in the ocean sounds cool, the show just didn't deliver for me. The characters were (¬_¬) kind of bland and lacked depth, and the story was predictable and (´-ω-) unexciting. I kept waiting for something interesting to happen, but it just never did (¯_(ツ)/¯).The animation and production values of Umisea were also disappointing. The animation was simplistic and lacked the detail and fluidity that you would expect from a modern animated series (╯︵╰,). The sound design was also nothing to write... home about (¯―¯٥). The music was forgettable and the voice acting was just okay.That being said, there were some parts of the show that I did enjoy (^◡^). The character designs were cute and colorful, and there were some entertaining moments when the characters interacted with each other or encountered new creatures in the ocean. However, these moments were few and far between, and overall, the show just didn't hold my interest.In conclusion, Umisea is a mediocre show that falls short in many areas. While it has some cute character designs and entertaining moments, the lack of depth in the characters and story, as well as the underwhelming animation and sound design, make it a forgettable experience. If you're a big fan of virtual YouTubers, you might find some enjoyment in it, but for me, it just didn't cut it (ಥ_ಥ). Reviewer’s Rating: 3 What did you think of this review?
