Umi Monogatari was the magical girl show for the Fall 2009 season. I shoud warn any potential viewers that it's a different kind of magical girl series. You may enjoy it's originality, or lament it's not like others in the genre. Personally, I was not a big fan of the series. Perhaps if it was not a 'magical girl' series I migth have looked at it different but I went it with a preconceived notion about what I was looking for in a magical girl series and I know it affected my enjoyment of it. Please keep that in mind when reading my score. Story: Umi Monogatari... See full review
