Overview 

Miko is a typical high school student whose life turns upside down when she suddenly starts to see gruesome and hideous monsters. Despite being completely terrified, Miko carries on with her daily life, pretending not to notice the horrors that surround her. She must endure the fear in order to keep herself and her friend Hana out of danger, even if that means coming face to face with the absolute worst. Blending both comedy and horror, Mieruko-chan tells the story of a girl who tries to deal with the paranormal by acting indifferent toward it.

Plot Summary:

One day, Miko began to see monstrous creatures that nobody else could. Instead of running or turning to face them, she chose to do everything in her power to utterly ignore them as a response.

 The seasonal smorgasbord has grown too large to be pinned down into reliable patterns, but a small consistency I continue to enjoy is the offering of horror anime that overlaps the autumnal months. Sometimes they manifest as weird niche titles like 2018's adaptation of Angels of Death, and sometimes they balloon into surprise hits like Zombie Land Saga. While this season has vampires and ghouls aplenty, the show that so far tickles my horror bone the most is Mieruko-chan. Based on the webcomic-turned-manga by Tomoki Izumi, this spooky comedy series asks a simple question: what if having the sixth sense was not only spine-chilling, but also extremely annoying?

The show so far has hewn to a predictable structure. Our protagonist Miko can see ghosts, but she has to act like she doesn't in order to not draw their attention any further. It's a simple premise that, nevertheless, is easier said than done when there's a fetid walking corpse making googly eyes at you from across the room. Mieruko-chan subverts expectations into its own bemusing brand of horror humor, taking a genre infamous for its bloodcurdling screams and sublimating that tension instead through Miko's gritted teeth. She treats these hauntings like you would a drunk racist uncle at Thanksgiving, smiling and nodding and praying that he goes bother somebody else as soon as possible. It's not the acme of comedy, but it provides a consistently relatable kind of amusement.

The visual presentation, however, helps boost Mieruko-chan from an acceptable diversion into an anime that can go toe-to-toe with other horror heavyweights. The most eye-popping component is its creature design, which takes no half-measures when it comes to slapping sloughed skin, gnarled limbs, and hellish orifices all over Miko's spectral tormentors. They're also drawn in a conspicuously sketchy style and animated in varying framerates, so as to further differentiate them from the more quotidian world of the living. The technique is very reminiscent of the way the Jujutsu Kaisen anime handled its own monsters, and that's no coincidence: Hiroya Iijima, who was responsible for most of JJK's Curse designs, contributes designs here as well.
