Goodbye, Lara (Season 1)

Goodbye, Lara (さよならララ, 2026) is a Japanese animated fantasy series you can watch online on iFILM. At the heart of it is a mermaid who breaks an ancient prohibition — wishing to be loved by a human — and dies for it. Two centuries later she wakes in the waters of Lake Biwa, reborn into a world she has to learn from scratch.

Voice cast includes Hana Nishikawa and Rika Fukami. The series is quiet and slow-burning; the drama lives in small moments of confusion and wonder as the protagonist figures out human feeling. It rewards patience more than plot. Stream Goodbye, Lara online on iFILM.
