How to Keep a Mummy
Back then I heard about this anime adaptation, which is supposed to be about a very lovable mummy. For once, I really can't deny it, the anime has an enormous "cute" factor for these little fantasy animals, especially the mummy Mii-Kun (although the name could hardly be less creative).
Accordingly, yes, the anime is adorable and cute.-However, that's it. Miira no Kaikata is still not just an SoL title, but a comedy. But it's not even an easy meal, this anime doesn't even get baked.The humor roughly corresponds to what would make a 4-year-old child smile. The jokes are mostly so flat and boring, you can almost be ashamed.
Examples -The mummy is lying on the ground and is not moving "Oh no, he has become a real mummy!"
- There is a coffin in the living room "I hope Dracula won't come out now!" - Of course, with the protagonist's exaggerated reaction to this.
and after that caliber, it went on. Only episodes 9 and 10 were able to create some fresh air through some noteworthy scenes.However, I wouldn't go that far and claim that this anime is more for kids, no. It contains signs of violence, some blood, and a fairly obvious incest joke. I assume that it is at least aimed at young people. In that sense, the whole thing is immensely disappointing. Normally every little comedy, at least 1x the episode, delivers something worth mentioning, here you chew on a chewing gum that repeats itself.
However, episode 12 kept me entertained very well. In the sense of having as many mistakes, questionable actions as it can be. It practically seemed like they stuffed everything possible to create a 20-minute episode out of 2 scenes that could have taken 2 minutes each. Even for the conditions of a small SoL title, what was delivered here was almost insulting.
Story
Practically nothing, they tried something towards the end, but apparently had no deeper reason. Has been closed quite irrelevant and practically amusing. In any case, it is still not a story-based title.
Animations / pictures
Very weak and practically below average. The animations of the monsters and certain other scenes were deliberately designed very lovingly and beautifully. Apart from that, it was rather daunting. The faces were mostly drawn in a disturbingly bad way, and the drawing style is as simple as it can be. The movements if they ran and the background left a lot to be desired.
Characters
Boring and uninteresting. At least with a comedy title, one could have rhymed a few interesting personalities. Our group consists of Nice Boy, Tsundere Boy, Nice Girl, and Nice Boy2. Obviously, the Tsundere was the most bursting character. He is at least the only one who had monologues and had at least a few noteworthy scenes in his episode. The protagonist had at least only a somewhat mature appearance shortly before the end and has some nice dialogues. Other than that, it was empty. The girl and the other guy were as meaningless as they could be. No monologues, hardly any screen time, and .. in the last episode most of the time I didn't even know where they were and what they were doing.
The monsters, on the other hand, were personable. Of course without content, since they are only plush toys, but nice.
Music
Intro and outro very weak. It is probably the first anime that comes to my mind where the intro felt like torture. Not only is it monotonous, it just doesn't sound appealing. You listen to monotonous music for about 90 seconds and see the same scenes again and again. Intro barely stood out.
Conclusion
This title can only be viewed using the following approaches.- You are not used to comedy series and you are a beginner.- You have no expectations and you just have to watch cute monsters playing.
If this is the case, it is possible to view this title. Apart from that, it is enormously daunting and has only one episode 8 worth mentioning.
