Ecchi is a genre loved by a lot of people and hated by others.
Most of the time an ecchi anime is also an harem anime and it features a male protagonist which attracts every girl in that series.
Usually, the focus in ecchi series is woman's chest. Every time.
Also, most of the time the animation in those series is bad.
Aren't you tired of these cliches?
Miru Tights is a breath of a fresh air and a masterpiece in anime. This is definitely is the one. The show that saved japanese animation from creativity bankruptcy.
-Story-
Miru Tights doesn't care about dumb expedients to start a useless plot. It shows us separate stories. The daily lives of highschool girls.
No main plot. It shows us the beauty of quotidianity.
This does not mean that the series is plain and boring. Did you actually think that?
The anime isn't shy and surprises us with unexepected plot twists and breaks cliches.
Shots aren't the usual dumb coincidences. Seriously, everyone is tired of coincidences.
They are natural.
Example: a girls is walking. The skirt doesn't randomly fly away. The camera gently shows us the situation from different points of view.
The girls' dignity isn't thrown away. Their distinct beauty remains solid and substantial during the whole series.
As we progress through the series, you're gonna find out something: Miru Tights's episodes are not randomly put. They are actually connected.
You're gonna find out that there's a major plotline. An actual timeline. Yes.
At some point, the anime takes an unexpected twist. From a tights-only anime it becomes more different. Not gonna say much more since I want you guys to experience it yourself.
-Art-
As a fan of his art, I wondered how my favorite pixiv artist's art would be adapted in anime form.
Luckily, I wasn't disappointed. His character design is portrayed with loyalty and justice towards his drawings.
Talking about animation, I was pleasantly surprised.
Usually, ecchi series have subpar animation from low-budget studios and that's bad. Yokohama Animation Lab is an exception.
This series has excellent direction and godlike animation and production value.
The ecchi scenes are intelligently thought and animated. The shots are perfectly put together.
I wish Yokohama Animation Lab makes more anime in the future, because they have an excellent technical value.
-Sound-
Miru Tights knows how to deal with people.
You're not watching this series to listen to its opening. Miru Tights knows that and doesn't have one. It goes straight to the point.
We have a short intro instead. In this introduction girls are walking and a legendary sentence is said: "Miru Tights". The focus during this intro is, obviously, legs.
As for the voice acting, like most of the time, it's actually very well done. In episode 8 you'll hear the peak of its dub. Not gonna spoil, though.
When a scene is supposed to tease you, the voice is actually really teasing.
After 3 minutes of godlike stuff, we have a short relaxing outro. There are different versions of it, too! The animation during this ending theme is based on, of course, legs.
-Character-
Series like Baccano, Durarara and Boogiepop focus and develop more than a couple characters at the same time. However, Miru Tights is the absolute master of introducing perfectly new characters. It shows us new characters every episodes and all of those characters have a three-dimensional personality and are realistic. Male characters aren't cliched and there isn't even a silly useless harem lead. Girls are independent.
-Final Thoughts-
Miru Tights is a masterpiece.
It's a beautiful story about coming of age, discrimination, freedom of speech and a lot of other themes.
Perfect in every aspect, I can safely reccomend Miru Tights to literally everyone. Kids, adolescents and adults. Girls and boys. Even people who don't watch anime. Everyone will like this because of its qualities.
This anime changed my view of what a true masterpiece is. I'm speechless honestly.
Anime like this make me think "Wow, anime isn't dead".
This is the one. The anime that saved anime.
Wow.
