Mieruko-chan

Miko Yotsuya's eyes water as she fixates on a single spot on her phone—she ignores yet another dreadful, horrific monster that is in her face, uttering the disturbing words: "Can you see me?" Before now, Miko enjoyed her unassuming high school days, with late-night horror shows serving only as a form of entertainment. But ever since one fateful day, she is the only person aware of the invisible monsters walking freely among humans.

Courageously, Miko makes a bold decision: she will never, under any condition, acknowledge the presence of the horrid specters. However, even though she pretends they do not exist, she can still see how they disturb the people around her, especially her best friend, the energetic and lovely Hana Yurikawa. In order to protect them from the monsters' annoyances, Miko gives it her best to continue her school life and avoid every troublesome crisis—even when they scare her to tears.

Mieruko-chan is a comedic-slice of life series with hints of horror, al though having "creatures" all over the place it is more focused precisely on 3 main characters, the protagonist and friends. Each episode brings the constant struggle the protagonist has to deal with while keeping the ability to perceive such monsters a secret. Some circumstances are wholesome and get very deep in lore regarding certain characters. Many of the interactions and situations are funny, making it less heavy for people who might want to enjoy soft horror, to put it into perspective.


The opening doesn't has heavy visual spoilers which is good if you ... like you enjoy it or are having a bad time skipping. It is more a symbolic visual. The ending on the other hand, does have spoilers from characters or details that will be shown ahead. Not the best songs ever, personally but still catchy and in mood for this kind of series. Comedic-horror based. Make sure to stay after the ending as it always give extra content or context from the episode. It can always give you a laugh or two.

Good animation, acting and storytelling, even if it looks simple, it does it's job. Good plot twists that you might not expect. Overall, a good series to enjoy alone or with company!

Mixed Feelings

Girl With The Poker Face

It is an interesting premise, but I don't know if it's meant to be a comedy or actually scary, because most of the time it feels like I'm supposed to laugh at what is happening.

The first half of the show feels like the same joke over and over and over and, it does become tiring after a while. And how overly sexual everything is in the first episode is so funny. Luckily the show picks up halfway through and becomes way more entertaining.

I will say I really enjoyed the main characters friendship with the bimbo character and a little pigtail grill ... character.

The main characters composed demeanor beside the bimbo, brings the best forward.

The character design looks good and horrifying ghost even more. Animation is not bad. The production is just all around really good.

It's just a little entertaining show. It's good enough to watch.

Not Recommended

as a spiritist, upon watching the trailer, i believed that this anime would explain mediumship well and even help people who also see spirits. but apparently...

(and unfortunately)

the fan service spoke louder, which is pretty ridiculous and disrespectful to the religion.

(trying not to mention that the protagonist and the supporting characters are minors).

simply pathetic!

... on the other hand, the plot twists are a strong point – maybe the only truly positive thing that saves the anime.

if the reviews are considered by the studio, then here’s a suggestion to save the anime: focus more on plot twists and backstories!

or just don’t make a second season.

boo.
