Miru Tights Cosplay Satsuei Tights [Episode 1]

Alright, let’s dive into Miru Tights Cosplay Satsuei Tights Episode 1. First off, this is a special episode from the Miru Tights series, known for its focus on—you guessed it—tights and the girls who wear them. Produced by Yokohama Animation Lab and originally airing back in August 2019, this episode is all about a cosplay photoshoot, but don’t get too hyped for full-on cosplay fits; the real star here is the playful banter and, of course, the tights.

The episode centers around Ren, Yua, and their friends as they mess around during a photoshoot. Yua steals the show with her teasing of Ren—she’s like the group’s resident troublemaker, and it’s hilarious to watch her ruffle Ren’s feathers. Fans on MyAnimeList loved this dynamic, with one commenter noting, “That was funny to watch the girls teasing Ren while taking pictures. Yua certainly is good at provoking Ren like that and she really enjoyed teasing her.” It’s that lighthearted, almost sibling-like teasing that keeps the vibe fun and not too over-the-top.

Now, let’s talk about the “ecchi” factor. This is an OVA (original video animation), so it cranks up the fanservice a notch compared to the regular episodes. But here’s the thing: it manages to keep that playful innocence. One fan put it perfectly: “An appropriate ending of everybody’s favorite fetish show which ups the ecchi ante a little bit compared to the regular episodes—as one expects from the OVA. Yet it succeeds to keep the semblance of playful innocence.” So, while there are some suggestive moments (like Yua’s cheeky gestures or close-up shots of tights), it never feels gross. It’s more about the characters’ chemistry than anything else.

Visually, the animation is solid. Yokohama Animation Lab does a great job with the details—especially the tights. The way the fabric stretches and catches the light is almost artistic, which makes sense given the show’s premise. The photoshoot setting gives the animators a chance to play with different angles and poses, which fans appreciated. One comment mentioned, “The special episode has lots of different shots since they were practicing posing for the camera.” It’s these little touches that make the episode feel dynamic, even if the plot is straightforward.

But wait—some fans were a bit underwhelmed by the lack of actual cosplay. The title suggests a cosplay focus, but the girls don’t don full costumes. One viewer admitted, “Hmmmmm so where did the cosplay go? From the name I thght this was gonna be a cosplay shooting but nope. The epi was nice but I was waiting to see them in cosplay outfits so I’m kinda salty.” Fair point! The episode is more about the photoshoot process than the cosplay itself, which might leave some feeling like the title was a bait-and-switch.

That said, the Yuri undertones didn’t go unnoticed. Yua’s teasing of Ren had a flirty edge, and fans ate it up. Comments like “Yua getting the Yuri tag for us sasuga Yua the horny girl” and “Yuri this episode was great” show that the subtle romantic tension added another layer of fun. It’s not in-your-face, but it’s there, and it works.

The episode also has its share of meta moments. Some fans discussed the physical release, mentioning pre-orders and bonus content like art books and soundtrack CDs. One user even joked about subtitles being “fan service,” which is a funny nod to how dedicated the fanbase is.

Overall, Miru Tights Cosplay Satsuei Tights Episode 1 is a solid addition to the series. It’s not groundbreaking, but it’s exactly what fans of the show want: cute girls, playful humor, and plenty of tights. The animation is clean, the characters are likable, and the ecchi is balanced with innocence. If you’re into slice-of-life with a side of fanservice, this episode won’t disappoint. And hey, with fans begging for a Season 2 (“SEASON 2 ANNOUNCEMENT, ASAP PLEASE!!”), it’s clear that Miru Tights still has a loyal following.

So, grab your favorite pair of tights (or just sit back and enjoy the view) and give this episode a watch. It’s a short, sweet, and tights-filled ride that’s perfect for a lazy afternoon. Just don’t go in expecting a cosplay extravaganza—unless you count the tights as the ultimate cosplay accessory. 😉
