Anime about Life Under the Sea that Presents a Different World

The sea often serves as a backdrop that creates a mysterious yet calming atmosphere in various Japanese animations. Some anime even make the underwater world a crucial part of the story and character development.

From stories about humans living under the sea to tales centered around coastal worlds and marine life, several anime present a unique perspective on life around the ocean. Here is a series of stories from some anime that feature life related to the sea and underwater world.
