About Ramen Fighter Miki

If you are hunting for a new action series, Ramen Fighter Miki (無敵看板娘) deserves a look (2006). The setup goes like this. At its core: Miki Onimaru is a poster girl that works at her mother's Chinese ramen restaurant. She appears to be a normal girl, but she can become very violent if provoked.

Soon after, she picks a fight with her mother and accquaintances as a result on an almost daily basis, causing a series of troubling mishaps in their otherwise normal lives.

With action at the core, fight choreography, pacing and sound design carry much of the weight. Kankuro Nishiyama (Nobuyuki Hiyama) and Miki Onimaru (Hitomi Nabatame) are two of the characters you will meet early. It will appeal most to viewers who like fast, high-impact fights. With 12 episodes in total, there is enough room for the story to develop.

Production & Appeal

The action focus matters here: fight choreography, pacing and sound design carry much of the weight. With a 6.6/10 score, it is more of a niche pick than a universal crowd-pleaser. On the casting side, Nobuyuki Hiyama voicing Kankuro Nishiyama gives the lead role a recognizable voice. It aired in 2006, which makes it easy to place in the wider anime calendar.
