Right now you can watch Mieruko-chan in Australia on Crunchyroll, and in the US on Crunchyroll — and it is funnier than its reputation suggests. The show says what it needs to say in a single season, no filler. With 379 viewer ratings on TMDB, this is not a title flying under the radar. Sora Amamiya sets the tone, and the rest of the cast matches it scene for scene. Available now on Crunchyroll — press play and find out why people keep recommending it.

Mieruko-chan is not trying to be everything to everyone, and that focus is exactly what makes it work. Sharp writing and a well-matched ensemble are what separate Mieruko-chan from the crowd. She can see dead people…she just chooses to ignore them. That’s Miko’s plan, anyway, with horrifying (and sometimes hilarious) results. Between them, Sora Amamiya and Kaede Hondo carry the comedy without ever forcing it. It was aired in 2021. Mieruko-chan earns its laughs from character rather than situation, which is why it does not wear thin the way pure farce tends to. It rarely drops the ball, and when it does, it recovers fast.

Comedy fans looking for a reliably funny watch will find it in Mieruko-chan. If you have already watched The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya, Mieruko-chan is a natural next step. Best experienced as a single, sustained watch if your schedule allows. Sora Amamiya is funny in a way that holds up on rewatch. Put it on when you need something guaranteed to land.
