Found the show myself after awhile, it's called Magic Wonderland :)
I don't know if the "anime" category fits, because it's a TV show and I don't remember much.
But I used to watch this show on TV when i was young (around ~7 years ago). There was a young girl who lived in a village on or near the beach. I think she lived with a father figure too. She got a fish tank as a gift, and the girl found out the fish can talk (only she can understand) . She put them in a fish race, then the girl let them go. I think the fish wanted to stay though but they went away anyway.
This part kind of fades out of my memory, but I also remember that she was looking for her mother. When she went underwater there was fish that helped her breathe underwater (they gave her a pearl or something). This isnt in order, but I think she had a guy friend too. She also got kidnapped by some pirates, but in the end some huge octopus broke the ship and the girl with the boy escaped.
When she found her mother she saw that she was frozen, and her statue got somehow shattered. The daughter put them back together and the mother was alive (or mightve been an illusion). Mother gave her daughter a temporary flying ability.
I also remember that she was in a volcano with the boy and they tried to escape it. She was also friends with a creature that had a huge library.
Not to mention the intro song was an asian lady singing her native language to some beautiful instruments and it was powerful yet calming.
The show mightve been from around the 2000s. (1995-2010) It looked decent when I was younger though.
This is all I can remember. I will be super thankful if someone can find this show, because I've been thinking about it for awhile.
