Mermaid saga TV series "Ningyo no Mori" (Mermaid Forest) The 11-episode TV series took all of the previously printed Mermaid saga stories (except for "Mermaid's Gaze") and made them into anime. The series was released over 4 DVDs (also available as 5 VHS videos). The last DVD includes two unbroadcast episodes of "Ningyo no Kizu" (Mermaid's Scar). Domestic versions: available on DVD from Geneon. All include original Japanese dialogue, English subtitles, and production art gallery (rather bad quality).
