Miira no Kaikata

A mummy, an oni, a dragon, and a baku. Sounds like a recipe for a mess doesn't it? But rather it's the opposite. Despite the supernatural beasts that make up the main creatures of the show, the center of the show is down to earth, a love story between pet and owner.

Each of the pet and owner pairs are helped by coming together and being with each other. In many cases the humans are able to grow by being with the pets and caring for them, and the same can be said about the animals. Whether they need someone to care for them or someone ... to be able to help the pets and humans work together very well and help make lasting bonds that extend farther than what many other shows are able to do with regular human characters. And keep in mind, these are pets. They can't talk, they can only emote and act. But still even in these actions they're able to express more of who they are, and the value of their bonds better than many shows that have the power of speech.

Building off of that the interactions between all of the different characters are quite great. The friends act like good friends and seem to have a pleasant time bonding with each other. However as noted above the point where it truly shines is with the pets and the humans interacting with each other. There are so many light fluffy moments between them that are so charming to watch. And there is so much love between each pair in each of the things that they do.

Mii and Sora exhibit this the strongest as each of their interactions with each other shows the dedication and love that they have for each other. Mii can't stand to be too long without Sora. Sora goes out of his way to do whatever he can for Mii, whether it be reading him a bedtime story, or finding the best food for him. I'm sure many pet owners can relate with their own love towards their own pets. All of the fun ways that pets and their owners have to bond. The unique ways that you can support each other, without words yet exhibit that same love. That's what Miira is great at being able to show. They truly feel like important life partners. And they are. Because that's what pets are. Pets are magical and it certainly shows when watching Miira.

The art and animation is also quite notable in my eyes. It's not special but it does a very good job of showcasing the cuteness of the supernatural creatures. Whether it be in the middle or end cards, or in the flowery flourish that accompanies a happy pet, it does well to soak in the cuteness and express the light jovial mood that the show often has.

Even with all this fun and love there still are important meaningful parts. As I mentioned before the pets and humans really do help each other, and when the humans or pets backstories are gone into it's clear to see why the two are good fits for each other, and just how they're able to help. They're given actual flaws and issues, and in a show that could have just rested on it's good fluff it's great to see because it only enhances the message of the show, that is the power of pets.

When I watch this show it makes me want to go give my doggies a big hug. And that's good, go find your pet and give them the love they deserve, and if you like pets, give this show a try, the creatures may be supernatural, but the love is just the same.

Super adorable anime!!!!! I'm so glad there is finally an anime adaption after waiting for two years since I started reading the manga on comico. All of the little creatures are so cute and it makes your heart melt, espeically Mii-kun and Isao. This anime is basically mini adventures of Sora and his friends. The plot is simple and starts with main character Sora receiving a package from his father. Inside is Mii-Kun!!! From there more characters are introduced with their partner creatures. The bonds between creature and their human companion is illustrated in this anime. We do get to see other unique creatures who ... live away from humans too and while it seems like a cheerful show, there are hints of a dark past that the creatures and characters go through. Sometimes seeing all the creatures reminds me of Studio Ghibli films. Artwork and music wise are ok, not my favorite but it's not bad either.

Overall I liked this anime a lot! I've been reading the manga since two years ago so I had read around 100 chapters, and this anime covered quite a lot. The characters are well developed and the pacing is fine. They did change the last two episodes though, so parts of the last episode are anime original. I think the finale would have been better if they had just adapted the manga and not include the original content. Either way most of the show is very relaxing and light hearted. Watch this if you want a SOL that is cute and overall relaxing. Most of the show is not in a school with those typical school events like the school festival, studying, etc. It's more about the little creatures and what they do outside of school.
まだ最終話は見れていませんが、毎週とても可愛いミーくんたちに癒やされて、とても幸せでした！

The season passed and this anime sadly got no hype whatsoever at any point, but damn I would be lying if I said I didn't love it! The easiest way to describe Miira no Kaikata is “diabetes bomb” and it's definitely one of the shows that made me smile the most of just how freaking adorable it can get.

This anime starts with Sora, a boy who already got used to get dangerous things from his adventurer dad, and the shock that his next surprise is not a mortal monster that should have been kept sealed instead of sent as a present to his ... son, but instead an absurdly cute and small mummy called Mii-kun that gets really affectionate to Sora, this is nothing but the start of his daily life with him around.

But while being the main duo, they are just a part of a show with equally likeable characters (but they are not as cute as Mii-kun, sorry, the bar was too high), his childhood friend Kazuya might look scary to everyone, but he's actually really kindhearted, and there is also Motegi and Daichi, who got closer to them due to their own affection towards the mysterious pets they end up living with, finding that way friends to talk with about them, while Sora and Kazuya are the ones that mainly get protagonism, these two also have their very good moments, especially in their introductions, the show did a nice job at making me like them from the start.

One thing I really liked of this anime is how as the episodes passed, we got to understand more and more Mii-kun and the other “pets” that appear during the series, what they like, why they do x things and act the way they do... all while having lots of scenes where we see them play around together, usually mixing Sora and friends for extra comedy, and especially smiles, I know I'm repeating myself, but really, this show is adorable, their interactions are so heartwarming.

The definitely weaker points of this anime were the artistic and music part, with none of the two passing the average at best, but that personally didn't affect my enjoyment towards the series. I don't go into this type of SoL shows expecting them to stand out in those aspects, if they are good and I also like the characters, even better, if not, it's totally fine, and in this case this anime did enough with that.

Now that we reach the end of the review, I only have to ask a question left so you can confirm if you want to watch this show or not. Do you want to smile a lot and have a good time? If you do, start Miira no Kaikata, that's all!

In short, this anime is very thin even for a SoL anime. That thin characteristic can be felt almost in all aspects, but for the story and characterization aspects will get better in the latter part of this anime. This anime, for sure, has its own strong point to please the viewers : pets that are cute. This is the breakdown for the review :

Story 3/10

The story part is very simplistic. As SoL anime, usually simplistic story gives relaxing feels to the viewer. But at the earlier part, this anime’s story is overly simplistic and can be said as “narrow” and “shallow”. And those ... characteristics can’t be used as an execuse even for SoL anime. Fortunately this will get better in the half-end of the story as it’ll get deeper about some other themes, such as “relation” and “maturation”.

This anime has supernatural genre attached to it, but mostly, it’s only attached to it. There are too few supernatural part in this anime, save for a very few episodes that have story around supernatural environment. Oh, and the pets themselves. They are supernatural beings but don’t feel like one.

Art 5/10

The chara design for this anime is that of average, except for the pets which is cute. Really, the pets design are cute and simple, which makes it possible to be animated fluidly. For the human characters, the most noticable part of the chara design is their hair. Those hair styles and colours are what you expect to find in many average shounen animanga.

Even though the design is that of a shounen, it’s character animation (which i define as “movement”) is nothing shounen-ic at all. It’s more of a shoujo-ic movement actually, as we can see from the male characters gesture. This is more appearent in the ED song which all of the big characaters dance like a girl-band. This discrepancy between character design and the style of movement gives feel that either of those two fit with the anime as a whole.

There are many different backgrounds for sure, but not that many. Most of them are just simply a wall or very common buildings. This kind of background doesnt give anything into the viewers’ eyes, except “oh, there’s a background”. That, combined with the lack of fluid animation from the human characters gives feels that there is almost nothing notable about this anime’s art. Except for the pets, that is.

Sounds 4/10

First, it’s about the seiyuus.....and there’s not much to talk about except, it’s done rather decently. The seiyuus gave a voice that quite befitting each character in this anime, but nothing is particularly good. We can only tell that “this character might sound like this”, but we cannot tell what kind of person this character is just by hearing its voice.

The BGM also doesnt sound particularly good. It just there, but very likely viewers won’t take notice of it. The OP song is that your average anime’s opening. The ED, however, is quite well done...for the animation part. The songs and music are just there, but not giving any amplification for the anime as a whole.

Long to short, for the sound aspect, here’s a statement that i feel can represent it : quite lively outside, quite lifeless inside.

Character 5/10

The characterization in this anime isn’t that strong. It affects the story but for a moment. Some may say that the characterization is very simple, altough others may say it’s very predictable and boring. I saw that both of them were true, but the latter one overshadows the first.
There is character development in this anime. It’s not dramatic development, but this is SoL anime and that kind of development is kind of norm for this genre. For the earlier part of the anime, the character development can’t be felt except very faintly. But it gets better in the latter part.

Enjoyment 6/10

The main strong point that this anime has....is the enjoyment. This enjoyment mainly can be gotten from watching the pets. They act very cutely. Add their simplistic design and moderate fluidity, the viewers will want more and more to see these pets.
Light comedy is also that makes this anime enjoyable. Note that the comedy itself is pretty classic for anime’s joke. For some people, this kind of joke may feel bland. But nevertheless, this anime has comedy. The comedy exist and some of them may make the viewers smile despite feeling bland for the most part.

Overall 4,6 to 5 /10

Overall, this anime is very thin, narrow and shallow – even for SoL anime. It gets better with the latter part, around the second half of the 12 episodes, but there’s still almost nothing in this anime. Except for pets. The cuteness of the pets is what makes this anime may worth to watch. Maybe. Try it yourself and decide whether it suits your taste or not :)

this anime was a nice change of pace. the characters were extremely cute and very easy to fall in love with. I can't really find anything bad about this anime except maybe the fact I wanted more episodes. I wished we could get a better look at mukumuku and its personality but it was overall adorable.

if you need a break from your usual anime schedule or maybe something to have as a background to chores, hobbies, or studying I think this anime is perfect. unfortunately, I couldn't find an English dub, so if you are good at reading subtitles and doing something else at ... the same time then what I just said previously will really work for you.

also, prepare to go online and buy a mini mii-kun for yourself because he is too cute not to want one.

To be honest, after reading the summary of this show, I was eager to watch it. The first few episodes were quite alright, simple slice of life with a dash of supernatural cuteness. Standard stuff. But as more episodes followed... I recognized this main problem with this series - the lack of direction. The premise is good, this idea that there are some supernatural beings surrounding us at every corner, wherever we go, but just because we're not aware of their existence, we don't notice them. A bit similar to how muggles don't notice wizards and witches because they don't know about magic. I'll try ... not to spoil too much saying this... But the logic is lost quite quickly and the moral compass of the main protagonists is off the rails soon after as well. After finishing the last episode I was left with a lot of unanswered questions which gave way to even more questions. To be frank, I wish there were more episodes to this anime. I haven't read the manga yet, but if even the manga lacks all of the answers then I think the main problem is the story/writing itself. And that's not good. I like the cute mascot that Mii-kun is, but my "adult brain" just can't handle the lack of logic this anime is presenting. I really hope it's just because this is directed to a younger audience and not because the author of the source material is not the best of story writers.

How to Keep a Mummy is a pleasant surprise that captures your heart with adorableness as a mostly slice of life meets supernatural pets.

Overall I find the story pleasant because of the genre, so each episode is kind of a day to day life scenario. There are some moments that end up a little wacky and sudden because there are some serious moments that show up and near the end characters suddenly receive a bunch of quirky traits to progress the plot. And you can definitely feel emotional from them because you grow quite attached to everyone. But I can kind of roll with ... it because that's the feeling of the show.

Despite some quality issues as we all can recognize at times, this art style and color palette are very effective at communicating cute adorable motions. And for Mii a lot of effort goes in and shows with his cute sound effects. Sound effects are the biggest detail that really works well for the whole production!

I wasn't particularly impressed with the whole cast as they are a mash of many tropes but I don't dislike any of them either. Sora and Tazuki's friendship is a point of interest that is a driving force compared to anyone else, and at times really makes you wonder more.

Definitely in the end, this anime is like a hidden gem for many who just want a relaxing series or some cheering up.

It's about a little mummy that is super cute and his adventures. The story is relaxing and constantly brings a smile to your face or a laugh at certain moments. It's kinda slow but is just barely enough to keep up your interest in it.

In each of the episodes the protagonist makes new friends and their guardians discover new things. Fantasy creatures are abound which makes for a good watch specially for kids. There is an underlying threat that is constantly looming above them which is revealed towards the last few episodes. Other hidden themes are of losing someone, understanding relationships and the cruelty of ... humans towards animals or creatures.

Overall, a nice anime to watch if you want something slow paced and hilariously cute!

The story seemed very simple in the beginning. A young boy receives a Mummy from his traveling father and he tried to understand him. However the more we progress through the series the more knowledge we gain about what kind of world they live in. Where some people are aware of the existence of super natural beings (Mummy's, Oni's, Dragons, Gods, etc) and some people are not aware. Add in the relationship building between these creatures and their human partners we learn about each characters backstory, both the good and the bad
finally there are some ominous moments throughout this anime which made me question ... "Is this show going to take a serious turn?" That is something I will keep...Under WRAPS! (get it?)

The art and animation wasn't anything too grand. However the coloring in Kaede's hair was superb.

I really enjoyed everything sound wise in this anime. The opening and ending were really fun and the bgm throughout the show was fantastic. However the noises the Creatures made were amazingly good! Especially Mii-Kun's "Woofs" Super adorable!

The characters were very interesting. Each seemed to have some kind of advanced skill which was never really mentioned throughout the series. Their backstories were really eye opening and inspirational as well.

I thoroughly enjoyed this anime. It had a great balance of Funny, Serious, Cute and Sad moments. A very well balanced anime I feel can make it way better.

Overall I think this anime is not for everyone. I feel as though some people would consider it slow, or that the story is not there, or that it is overly cute. However I think this show should be watched at least once by every anime fan.

I started watching this anime for how cute and sweet it looked and I wasn't disappointed but I certainly stayed for the characters and story especially towards the end. The first few episodes are definitely what I expected going into it. They were simple, one-off style episodes that makes the anime feel like you could stop and pick it back up at any time but by episode 6 I found myself more invested in the characters and their stories. Each of the pets have a certain personality and relationship with their owners. Tazuki and Sora have a backstory that keeps you interested and the hints ... that are left for some of the later plot points makes you want to finish it.

Story: 7/10
I enjoyed the way a major plot was sprinkled in throughout the show but I felt like that left it for a lot of loose ends. There are too many questions left open for my liking which might be answered in the manga but I haven't read it yet. Parts of the story ended up feeling rushed towards the end because it started off with one-off stories. While I enjoyed it, the series left me with more questions than it answered.

Art: 6/10
This show excelled in having these cute mythical creatures have personality through their look. Even the way they moved you could tell their personalities. I also think it did a good job using visuals to convey what they were feeling since the 4 main creatures didn't talk. Where the show fell short was with its human characters. They seemed a bit stiff and at some points, they were too simple for my liking

Sound: 8/10
The soundtrack kept the mood of the show flowing but honestly, I didn't notice it too much.

Characters: 9/10
The thing this show did the best was keeping you interested in the characters. Not only was each character loveable but they were expanded on. They got some sort of backstory as well as development. Even the creatures ended up having personalities even without speech. The relationships also shined both between the humans and their pets but also between all the creatures and all the humans.

Enjoyment: 10/10
This show is made to make you smile. You can sit back and enjoy this show easily. Its fun and sweet and even if you aren't too interested in the story you can find enjoyment through the cute interactions and sweet personalities of the characters.

Your daily dose of cuteness and friendship is here!

I would like to applaud "Miira no Kaikata" for being the cutest anime that knows how to be cute and wholesome without being forced or sexualized. How amazing! If I had to describe it I would jut say that this is perfect for some cozy afternoons with good laughs and a nice snack. I love how every tiny creature has its own personality and how they're all different.

The themes of friendship and care are so adorable. It's safe to say that I'm attached to this anime and this giant family (not literal). Someone please take me there, ... I want my little one too.

Apart that some characters are indeed kinda stereotyped (always a cute energetic girl, an "emo" one, a dumb one and stuff - sometimes it's funny), it satisfies me that there was no unexpected romance between any of them.

Finally, the sound track. Awesome! A good balance between simple and exagerated, the outro is my favorite (characters dancing and their chibi versions are everything).

Please give a chance to "Miira no Kaikata", it has potential to become your comfort anime.

I wanted to find an anime that was equally as cute as School Babysitters and I lowkey think I've found something so much cuter. Miira no Kaikata did not disappoint.

Within the first few minutes of the first episode, I knew I'd like it. The MC for one is super easy to like. He's average in many ways, but I enjoy have a "normal" MC. He was open about his thoughts, aside from when it concerned his best friend, was observant, patient and funny. He was well put together and a stable narrative throughout, which I appreciated a lot to balance out everything else in ... the anime.

The other characters are fine. Tazuki is probably my favourite, with Sora not far behind. Tazuki is your typical tsundere, except he's quite protective of Sora which I love. And he's done in the right way. Although the others have a lot of air time, I don't see the point in mentioning them, they're likable, that's all that matters.

Okay, the story was surprisingly smooth sailing. I know it was only 12 episodes, but I thought I'd eventually get bored of an unproblematic plot, but nope. Just like School Babysitters, the cuteness carried it. Each episode there was something to look forward to, whether it was the creatures or a new character to be introduced.

And saved best for last, is all the little creatures that each character has. Mii especially is adorable, my GOD. I didn't think a creature that wouldn't be able to do anything but bark could be that cute, but I was wrong. I love the relationship between him and Sora. Then Conny and Tazuki have the funniest relationship. They even have their own little character development which was super heartwarming. Everyone else and their creatures are essentially made for each other, they had so much screen time I couldn't help but enjoy every single episode.

All the creatures have their own distinct personalities. They're adorable. Had interesting relationships with each other, both the other creatures and their owners. AHHH just so cute.

I enjoyed every episode and wish there was more. There's nothing like being able to watch a show all relaxed. No crazy plot, no complicated characters. You grow to love everyone as more episodes go by and by the end of it, you wish there was more. I hope I can find another anime that sits on the same level as Miira no Kaikata and School Babysitters. These lowkey chill, comfort animes have my heart. Easy 8/10.

High school student Sora Kashiwagi is apprehensive due to previous bad experiences with his father's "gifts" when he receives a mysterious oversized package by his self-proclaimed "adventurer" father. With his imagination going wild, the last thing Sora expects is for it to be opened from the inside... by a little mummy so small it can fit in the palm of his hand!

My Thoughts:
Also called How To Keep a Mummy, this anime is funny, lighthearted and endearing. Mii-kun is such a lovable little mummy. I love the way the 'oni" can communicate without having to actually speak with words. Gestures and sound like ... grunts seems to get their point across. Sora's character is caring and selfless. He does whatever he can to help in any way when someone needs it. I love the camaraderie between Sora and his friends. This anime was a fun watch and I hope they do a season 2.

I started watching this anime when my girlfriend stumbled upon a gif of Mii-kun in her feed.
Mii is an unbearably cute miniature mummy that gets send to our protagonist-kun by his father.
And him being so cute is the main selling point of the anime. I'm a 25-year old and 6'4" tall man that isn't easily emotionally disturbed, but this anime brought me to tears with almost every episode because it's just to cute to handle. We could never watch more than one episode a night because of that fact.

It could need a little polish here and there, so can't really give it a full 10, ... but from an enjoyment standpoint and what this story seeks out to do it's top notch.

Miira no Kaikata starts off very questionably I'd say. After making his aunt a nightly snack, our main protagonist, the laundry boy Kashiwagi receives a package and thrown off by the fact that all the packages from his dad were and most likely will be scary to the point where he'll be questioning whether or not to open them, he decides to just stay still while the most adorable thing walks out of it -
Mii-kun!

From then on the anime is very wholesome and continues to be like it for the rest of the series. It has some very 'moe' moments and it's great.


Story; 8/10

Nothing ... is really going on in the first few episodes, MC and his childhood friend get their partners, MC accepts Mii-kun with open arms but the other one is a bit reluctant about it. They meet some friends and whatnot, they meet up and hang out. Overall the story isn't that much important, the real matter of importance is the humor and the glorious cute moments this show has. It's also fast-paced which is a plus for me.

Characters; 8/10

Not much is explored but the friendship between our MC and his childhood friend Tazuki deepens throughout various episodes. The other two, Asa and Taichi are there just because, but it's okay because the anime makes up for it, in a way that makes you look at them in a whole different light. It includes them in various moments that would've been impossible to achieve without them. The side characters receive a bit of development too. So overall, some of the characters develop, some don't, it's average, but considering this wasn't the main point of the show, I enjoyed it a lot.

Art; 9/10

I can't possibly explain how much I love this art style in anime. It makes the characters look cute and possibly more friendly then they could be. Transitions between images looked smooth as well.

Sound; 7/10

I didn't really notice the sound as much as, let's say the OP. The opening of the series is great, upbeat just like some of the episodes and fits the series completely.

Enjoyment & Overall; 9/10

I really liked this show as I said before, although it's a shame that it didn't receive any popularity ever since it began. Moe shows like this should be celebrated in my opinion. If you like cute, wholesome anime then I recommend you watch it.

To begin this review I want to point out that this show show be watched purely for the sake of enjoyment. No real over-analyzing or absurd theories, just watch it and enjoy.

Story - 8: I wanted to give the story a 10 because of how much I thoroughly enjoyed the show, but here's the thing, this show has no real story in terms of beginning, middle, end, so I gave it an 8. The story is that Sora was sent a living mummy child (Mii) by his father who is a self-proclaimed adventurer and the series follows around their life together as Sora raises Mii ... and learns more about him while the people who become closest to him also get their own fantasy creature companions (an Oni child, a dragon, and a baku) and shenanigans ensue. The true enjoyment of this show comes from just how adorable every creature (and even the people) are and how you just want to hug hold, play with and adopt every one of them. So despite the lack of a true story, this is a show that I could watch endless seasons of because I just want to see this gang of misfits.

Art - 10: Very straightforward, the art is clean and crisp, the colors are vivid, and the animation is solid (so solid that I chose this show to be my test subject for learning to make gifs in Photoshop).

Character - 10: If I haven't said this in any of my other reviews, I NEED character development. While I won't count conquering a fear of lizards or finally getting a good night's rest as character development, the real development lies within the two main human characters (Sora and Tazuki) and their creatures (Mii and Conny). While even their character development may not be considered the most complex of all time, it does happen in a very appropriate way: all of the characters begin as very well-rounded people, but who they are as people is slowly unraveled to you and as you learn more about what makes them rough around the edges, they learn how to move beyond those traits.

Enjoyment - 10: This is the real meat of this review. This show is disgustingly cute and I loved every minute of it. Mii literally doesn't talk, he just barks and cries and I want one (why only one? because I wouldn't want any others thinking they weren't getting attention). Whenever Mii cries, I cry (which is every episode) and it just makes me want to hug him, thankfully Sora is an angel and will take care of him to his dying breath. Conny is a brat and goes perfectly with the too-cool-for-school Tazuki. Isao is a good boy and a perfect big brother to all of the creatures and is even more responsible than his precious human counterpart, Motegi. and just overall the cast is lovable.

Overall - 10: TL;DR SOMEONE GIVETHAT MUMMY A HUG. For a show with no overall story other than the life of these humans and their mythical pets, I don't think I've been this attached to a show in a while (That's a lie because BNHA exists) and am so ready and willing to throw my money out the window just to get a life-sized Mii plushie.

This show is so cute it should be a crime. I only watched this show because I saw a clip of it on social media and thought "This is cute, I'll give it a try".
I am so glad I did.
Every episode is like wrapping a warm blanket over my cold dead heart. All the cute little characters and watching them grow was so sweet. Mii-Kun? Love that little guy, he tries so hard to be a good little mummy! Conny? What a little stinker I love him. Isao? I literally cry every time he is on screen from how cute he is. Mukumuku? ... Where I can one I too have never slept well in my life. Not only is their characterization great, but the humans also grow and have such great development (Daichi is in fact my son who I want nothing more than to make him a snack and tell him I am proud of him).
If you're looking for a quick little watch to make you smile this is it. You will not be disappointed.

How to Keep a Mummy is a hard anime to rate because, when you think hard enough about the show, not much happens during its 12 episode run. The show's main pull is just how adorable Mii-kun and the rest of the fantasy creatures that appear in the series are doing totally mundane things. The only plot the show has is a handful of mystery-themed episodes where the main cast stumbles upon some element of Japanese mythology with its cuteness factor dialed up to 11.

That said, while you could argue that the story doesn't have much going for it, the show is a constant onslaught ... of cuteness and it knows it. How to Keep a Mummy ends up feeling like the supernatural equivalent of watching a ton of baby animal videos - nobody is watching this show for the sake of the plot. My friend Ali and I watched this together and pretty much spent the entire run of the anime cooing and squealing like it was the first day with a newly adopted puppy.

You'll be able to tell if How to Keep a Mummy is for you from the first ten minutes. If you think Mii-kun is adorable and enjoy his adorable antics, you'll like the show. If you don't, you won't, and also you have no soul.

Seriously, look at how cute this mummy is!

SO
This anime was probably one of those that had less hype going on, which is kinda sad to be honest..... It was definitely in my Top 3 this season and i loved it! I've seen a lot of people saying that it was adorable and stuff, but for me it had a rather heart-warming effect. It brought a warmth to my heart every damn episode, which i loved too.

Story: 9
Filled with adorable creatures, that aren't really noticed by people in the modern world/society, with most based off Japanese culture; gods, yokai, kemono etc. (i dont really know how many are there) + those like the ... mummy from egypt and dragon from idk what mythology, 'cuz there's bound to be one at least in one and every (almost). Centering around 4 main characters with their 'monster' and how they got to meet them as well as developing everyone's personality and showing them themselves in seperate episodes and all of this in 12 episodes is for me a rare occurrence. I really enjoyed this and still can't believe such a good show just ended TnT


Art: 8
Both art and animation was beautiful. I likes how their eyes where blured uner their hair and even though the art-style wasn't that special, it was pleasant to my eye. I enjoyed the way animators portrayed Mii-kun's emotions and how lovely he was drawn (except a few shots TuT). Overall i think it was done well :')

Sound: 7
I REALLY enjoyed both OP and ED, which i even now watched just for the sake of staying in this great mood the anime has set for me <3 OST was okay and the voice actors were great choices too :'3

Character: 8
Not much to say here. They were all awesome. I liked the idea of the 'monsters' staying at some of the MCs' houses because they either couldn't survive otherwise or the fact that MCs needed help. There was variety of characters to get to know and they all had different personalities, different backstories and their own troubles.

if i still haven't convinced you to go and watch this god-damned good anime then idk how anymore x'D I loved the series and its plot. Really, if you have free time, go watch it :'D

Overall: 9
I wish there were more cute-fun-hidden meaning anime that just let's you be sucked into its world 'cuz i don't know what to compare it to anymore..... I saw a few peeps comparing it to Gakouen Babysitter or whatever its called but honestly...... It wasn't it for me..... This show is a great one, it's a lot of fun and i couldn't wait every week for new episode to get released...... wish it came out on Netflix instead of the crap Sword Gai pulled...... Go read manga if you can 'cuz the anime isn't THAT great... But. This isn't a review about that, it's about the good show. Miir no Kaikata will stay as one of my favourites, especially in EDs.

Well... Gotta go draw a few 'lil monsters ;'D

There's honestly nothing extremely remarkable about this, yet it's pretty good. If you're here after watching Gakuen Babysitters (believe me, I was in the same boat) then stick around for this.

To begin with, the story is nothing special. It's about a boy in a world with magical creatures and him and his friends have them as pets. That's literally it. There's tons of plot holes and unexplained phenomena and strange shit going on, but I tried by best to ignore all of that because of the sole reason that it's cute enough at times for me to enjoy that instead of complain. But sadly, ... since plot kinda matters to me most of the time (unless the other elements are that overpowering) I kept thinking about the problems the story had instead of enjoying it. Perhaps that's a mistake on my own part.

The art is pretty simple, nothing special. In episode 8, there are a few creatures that are animated very well and the art is pretty cool, but other than that, everything is pretty flat and simple.

The opening and closing are both wholesome, but far too happy and cutesy for me to like them all that much. The voicing for the characters was alright, but I mostly really loved the sound effects and the noises from Mii and the other cute pets.

Overall, for character, there was nothing all that remarkable. I can barely remember the name of the main characters, and I just binged it before writing this review. I have to say that I like Tazuki tho... he's just my type :D Unfortunately, there's not really any character development for anybody but him-- not that I was expecting a mummy to have character development.

Now down to the general opinion about the show. All in all, I watched this for two reasons: 1) because I am a hardcore fan of Gakuen Babysitters, and 2) because I adore mummies... they simply just fascinate me. However, for people who are here for any of these two reasons, I have to tell you this: if you're here because you liked Gakuen Babysitters, there's still a chance you may dislike this. What sets Gakuen apart is the fact that it's about family connections and babies growing up, simply put. With Miira no Kaikata, the part of the show that was focused on togetherness and cuteness changes focus to mythical creatures predominantly. While there were some cute moments, I really didn't have as much of a reaction as I did to Gakuen.... it just wasn't cute enough for me. Perhaps it's because I'm not an animal person? I'm definitely a baby person. As for everyone who's here for liking mummies: honestly, just get out. It's got nothing to do with legitimate mummies. Enough said.

I would recommend this if you: are an animal person, like shows about mythical creatures, like shows about pets

I would NOT recommend this if you: are expecting as much cuteness as Gakuen Babysitters, don't like animals, can't stand plot holes

Have a great day everyone!
