Neptina and I married in 1984. I was pretty young and she was a few years older. We were very much in love but over the years the magic just faded to nothing. I started drinking and seeing other mermaids behind her back. She never quite forgot Marine Boy and I hated her for that. One night we had a big argument over the fact we couldn't have children and she left. I haven't seen her since. I still miss her but I'm sure she's out there somewhere with Marine Boy and has long forgotten me.

WDCA in Washington, DC in the 1970s was an awesome channel to watch when I was a kid! Ultraman, Johnny Sockko and the Giant Robot, Speed Racer, Kimba, and of course...Marine Boy!

I'm in the UK and I remember the tune with words - I think they kept the instrumental for the closing titles.
I'm sure I also read somewhere, that the English scripts had to be written from scratch, as none were provided with the series when it was bought from Japan.

I remember watching this when I was very young (<5, I would think) but the theme tune was different... there were no English lyrics, just non-verbal singing of the melody. But that was 40-something years ago and 4000 miles away in the UK so goodness knows it must have been a different version.

@Boosteroid There was 2 themes. One was instrumental (in the beginning)and then it changed to have lyrics. Being in the Uk you may have just had the instrumental only.

This cartoon came on right before Speed Racer and it was when I was little and lived in Seattle...about 1973.

I watched it in 69-70 on KTXL 40 Sacramento right before Speed Racer and Ultraman came on after that.
