Besides, the Japanese loved mermaids going way back. They did a version

Are you referring to Mako the Mermaid
http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/encyclopedia/anime.php?id=1387
Just the first episodes follow, very losely, Andersen's tale, specially
with the fact that Mako could talk.
I think he was referring to the feature film that was released in the US on
VHS as "Hans Christian Andersen's The Little Mermaid". I believe he got
the date wrong. Anderusen Dowa Ningyo Hime, the movie, I believe was
released in 1975.
Yeah, I have that dub. And I believe, so does Sobieniak.
Too bad it can't be widely shown to kids because of the scaly nipples.
And the grittier ending.
