This time, the passenger to her left had a little black smoke trickling out of her mouth. Miko’s fear grew with each stroke, until the creature was right beside her. The monster worked its way up the line, sleeping figure by sleeping figure, trying to cleave the skull of each. She’s the main character, after all! But Kyousuke? I have no idea if Miko’s plot armor covers him. I’ll tell you what, the level of anxiety I felt for Miko and Kyousuke was as high as any character in any horror film I’ve ever seen. Okay, this one looks, um, interesting… Maybe the show’s not running out of steam after all! Capture from the Funimation stream. It shuffled sideways a few steps, then repeated the process on the next passenger.

As she watched, horrified, it lifted its axe and drove it straight into the last passenger’s skull. The creature stopped at the first passenger, who was as asleep as her brother. It taxed Miko’s self-control to not to obviously react. One of the most formidable monsters we’ve seen to date entered the train car from the rear. She smiled at how cute he looked because he was drooling. Kyousuke had fallen asleep and had leaned against her. Encountering ghosts, too, but nothing too out of the ordinary. Miko and her brother Kyousuke spent the day looking for a present for their mom. Delivery : Miko Hasn’t Peaked Yet! Let’s Build Tension, Master Class Level Was that the limit? Would Miko have to do something like save whole class? Maybe an entire city’s population? We’ve seen her under threat, her under intimate threat, and her friends under threat. Finally, in episode seven, only Miko’s quick thinking seemed to save both Hana and Yulia. In episode six, she had to shield Hana from a supernatural battle that rivaled warring gods. Then she had to save Yulia in episode five. Could she keep herself safe from reacting? That escalated until she was naked and alone in the bath when one of them showed up. We started off in episode one with the stakes being Miko herself. A sign the show’s losing steam? Oh, me of little faith… Capture from the Funimation stream. Sooner or later, those encounters are going to run out of steam, aren’t they? The whole schtick revolves around Miko trying desperately not to react to the horrifying creatures/ghosts/monsters. In the case of Mieruko-chan, that little voice seized on the fear that sooner or later, the show would run out of interesting ways to make Miko’s encounters interesting. But what about the next? Or next? I bet they blow it big time!” It’s whispering, “Sure, this episode was fine.

The point is that even if I’m enjoying a series as much as I’m enjoying Mieruko-chan, there’s a little voice in the back of my mind whispering something.

More accurately, I’m one of those “the glass is half full because someone drove a spike through the base and it’ll bleed out soon” kind of guy. If I’m not careful, I tend to be one of those glass half full sorts of people. It turns out abject terror isn’t the only thing Miko has to contend with! At least her brother has her back.

Best in Show Moment for Mieruko-chan Episode 8 “Don’t know how I can even face this one.” “Nope,” Miko said to herself ( 18:25), the fluid cascading all around her. It turned to look at her, its many tentacle-snouts dripping viscous fluids. She had almost convinced herself to try when she came across a particularly Cthulhu-like creature standing at a vending machine. I thought that was the sign of a healthy mind!Įven more impressive, she began to wonder if she should take them head on, like Yulia Niguredou or Mitsue Takeda seemed to do. She thought about why she had started seeing them. She asked herself what she was really seeing. Since this ghost wasn’t particularly gruesome, she began to reflect on her life. Īs she walked from the final bus stop to her home, she passed a ghost (Apariation? Ghast? Ectoplasmic representation?) that had obviously not survived a car wreck. I have no idea how she keeps up with the sheer variety of her encounters! Capture from the Funimation stream. This young woman has nerves forged in steel, then reinforced with adamantine.
