60. Muromi by the shore
https://myanimelist.net/anime/16910/Namiuchigiwa_no_Muromi-san

This is the only half length show that is on the list. It's about a boy (Takurou) who meets a mermaid (Muromi) while fishing on a dock. Now, partly because of interest and also partly because he seems like he has no other friends, both of them often return to spots where they can meet up... along with other mermaids and creatures too.

As far as comedies go Muromi is one of the more successful ones in terms of hits to misses. Even in parts where the jokes fall kind of flat, it just looks funny or the characters reactions make it funny, or something like that. It has fall backs if one things falls. If the OP is any indication the show is completely over the top which makes for an insanely fun time.

The cast is great. Takurou has some clear annoyance at Muromi but there is a clear level of appreciation for her friendship as well. Muromi herself is immature and somewhat annoying, but in the good anime type way. None of the characters are really fleshed out, but they have great interaction with each other which really helps bring the show into its peak.

The art style is like a throwback almost but the level of animation the title has is pretty impressive overall in how smooth it is. The OP especially is among the best on this list when you mix the visuals the music together.

If you want to watch something that is a bit zany in its situational humor you should give this show a try.
