Mostly, MIRU is a fairly disposable anthology, yet it is far better than I expected a corporate advertisement to be. ― Although initially released in Japan in April 2025, this five-episode sci-fi anthology oddity didn't show up to stream worldwide until late September. It allegedly appeared slightly earlier on Samsung's proprietary streaming platform in the US, but as probably only five people watche...
