Mermaid Princess Pichi-chan

Mermaid Princess Pichi-chan (人魚姫ぴちちゃん) is an animated series by Swimminton Studios. It is loosely based upon Emmy The Mermaid.
==Premise==
Pichi Turpin is a mermaid who had recently moved into an isle with the rest of the Turpin family. Despite her not caring at first, she eventually gets enough courage to make friends and explore the isle.

==Trivia==
* Every non-Dorkfishie character design, except for Pichi's, is left almost unchanged from their first designs. This is because Dorkfishie disliked the fact that Emmy's design was taken from an unused Rhythm Heaven sprite.
* The original scripts called for Larry the Pirate and his crew (from the original Emmy The Mermaid series) to be major antagonists; however, they were scrapped because Dorkfishie wanted the show to have a more "chill" atmosphere.
* In certain international versions, Leo's double mastectomy scars were erased whenever he goes around shirtless.
* While Rylee is a fashionista in this series, in the "official" series, she is a nurse instead. This is because MPPC!Rylee's personality was set before Canon?Rylee became a clone of Liz from Garfield.
* Dorkfishie thought that the Emmy The Mermaid pages were drifting too far away from its original premise, so she looked back at the page and planned on reworking it someday.
