Dive Girl Bigblue Merlin-chan (Japanese: DIVE☆GIRL Bigblueま～りんちゃん) is a multimedia project started in around 2000 by the artist Yamamuro. It was inspired by other projects such as Magical Toko-chan Project and Project Direct Girl. Similar to Project Direct Girl, the idea behind the project was to create a magical girl based on an operating system, but instead of Windows, it was OS/2.
Notable media from Dive Girl Bigblue Merlin-chan were dōjin publications, CDs, games, and other goods. The dōjin publications were published in Comiket 59 to 69, however no copies are found for now.
There is also an imaginary 26-episode anime project, which seemed to be a parody/inspired by Magical Girl Pretty Sammy, or PriSami, also known as Magical Project S overseas.
