Me and the Alien MuMu [Season 1 Episode 2]

Me and the Alien MuMu – Episode 2: A Wholesome Chaos of Misassembled Appliances

If you’re looking for a show that blends absurdity, heartwarming moments, and a dash of educational chaos, Me and the Alien MuMu might just be your next binge-worthy obsession. Episode 2, titled Mumu and the Vacuum Cleaner, continues the quirky adventures of Sakurako, a shy university student, and MuuMuu, the cat-like alien with an insatiable curiosity for Earth’s household appliances.

The Plot Thickens (or Rather, Gets Dismantled)

After a strong debut, Episode 2 dives deeper into the bizarre yet oddly endearing dynamic between Sakurako and MuuMuu. This time, the alien’s fascination shifts to the vacuum cleaner—a seemingly mundane object that, in MuuMuu’s paws, becomes a source of both comedy and mild destruction. Fans have compared the show to Hinamatsuri and Too Cute Crisis, but with a unique twist: it’s like Dr. Stone if Senku were a cat with zero regard for personal property.

One Reddit user hilariously pointed out: “If my cat were dismantling things around the house, it wouldn’t be getting kicked out—instead, it would be served for dinner.” And honestly, same. But Sakurako, bless her introverted heart, handles MuuMuu’s antics with a mix of exasperation and reluctant affection.

The Comedy Goldmine

The humor in Me and the Alien MuMu is a mix of slapstick and situational comedy. MuuMuu’s attempts to “study” appliances often result in them being taken apart—sometimes irreversibly. In this episode, the vacuum cleaner becomes the latest victim, leading to a series of escalating disasters that leave Sakurako’s apartment in shambles.

Fans on MyAnimeList couldn’t stop laughing at MuuMuu’s sheer incompetence: “This seems really charming and wholesome so far,” one comment reads, while another adds, “The cats go full war mode and wipe out all the smart alien cats, leaving behind the dumb ones like Muu? Peak chaos.”

The show also sneaks in some surprisingly educational tidbits about how household appliances work, which has led to comparisons with Dr. Stone. One viewer joked, “Show is Dr. Stone but stupid,” while another admitted, “I’m suddenly learning about microwaves, fridges, and even the science of heat loss?”

Sakurako: The Reluctant Heroine

Sakurako’s character development is subtle but noticeable. Episode 2 hints at her slowly coming out of her shell, thanks to MuuMuu’s relentless energy. Fans adore her design, with one comment gushing, “Sakurako is so cute and I love her huge hair.” Others appreciate her relatable struggles: “Sakurako’s a quiet one… and um, an introvert at that. But it looks like she’s found her love.”

However, not everyone is sold on her dynamic with MuuMuu. Some viewers find the alien’s antics annoying, with one stating, “Ehhh, the cat is annoying, the girl is cute but I’m still not sure I’m in the mood for, what I assume will be, one of those coming out of your shell shows.”

Visuals and Soundtrack

The art style has a distinct indie charm, reminiscent of Pine Jam’s work. MuuMuu’s exaggerated cat expressions are a highlight, with one fan noting, “They also had some really wild cat faces lol.” The ending theme, described as “really cute,” adds to the show’s lighthearted vibe.

Final Verdict: A Must-Watch for Comedy Fans

Me and the Alien MuMu isn’t trying to be deep or groundbreaking—it’s just here to make you laugh. Episode 2 doubles down on the chaos, delivering a mix of humor, heart, and household appliance destruction. As one fan perfectly summarized: “Fun and cozy university life with strange alien cat. Maybe Paws of Disassembly or Fix-It Felis!”

If you’re in the mood for something light, funny, and a little bit educational, give this show a shot. Just don’t leave MuuMuu alone with your appliances.

Rating: 8/10 – A delightful blend of chaos and charm.
