-Mermaid
The story: A young boy fell in love with a female mermaid at a glance, but she was just a small fish from the eyes of other people. He insisted to them that she was a mermaid, but no one admitted, and in this world or country, free imagination, fantasy and delusion were forbidden by law, so many people regarded his conduct as a kind of free fantasy and blamed him for the reason. The more love for her he was getting, the more away he was taken from his surroundings. People around him tried to get rid of his memories with her. It was no exaggeration to say that the try for him was a kind of torture. Temporarily, he forgot her figure. He went back home to recall her figure, but there was just a fish in an aquarium. He decided to return the fish to sea surrounded with many people, but right after returning the fish, many people saw a mermaid swimming in the sea, and he recalled her figure. He and the mermaid disappeared into the sea.
As far as we watched, this world has escapism. Needless to say, actually a mermaid doesn't exist in this world, but Mr.Tezuka might have had something of an appetite that he wanted to escape such a world and created a free world. In this world, no one believe something fantastic in earnest even if someone insists on the existence, but I daresay he might have wanted insisters or himself to win at least in the world he created.
-Aquarios
According to an old legend, dolphins are humans who chose to live in the sea.
I wonder if a woman were in such a room... Anyway, she might have wanted to become a dolphin because dolphins standed for freedom and she wanted to flee from the world at that time, so like mermaid this video, I feel, has a kind of escapism. As you know, it's impossible that dolphins are humans, but the woman believed the legend. The more strongly she believed it, the more away she was taken away from her surroundings, so that's why she were in such a room... Eventually she saw a dolphin whose figure was just humans, and she also disappeared into the sea. Oh! Both of the two videos make no difference!
Simply both have a critique of the society or adults that doesn't like fantasying. The more most people grow up, the more realistic they become. Both might have wanted to break the custom.
