Ramen Fighter Miki: The OP

Generally I don't like it when the OP visuals for a series aren't representative. My opinion about the Shingu OP doesn't need to be repeated.

But sometimes, for some comedy series, it's actually pretty cool when the OP is full of images that don't ever happen in the show. Ninja Nonsense is like that. And the OP for Ramen Fighter Miki is, I think. Though since I haven't seen the whole series, I can't be sure of that.

The characters shown in it are actually in the show. But they're shown in a post-holocaust setting, the ruins of a once-great city. And that's not what the show's about -- unless something really strange is coming.

Which is not impossible. About three quarters of the way through Excel Saga civilization on Earth was destroyed.

Anyway, the OP visuals make it seem like this is going to be a pretty standard fighting anime, featuring two girls and two guys who spend a lot of time doing fighting moves and striking heroic poses. The reality is a lot more mundane, and it's part of the joke. (The Ninja Nonsense OP is also part of the joke.)

UPDATE: I do wonder who this is:

It could be a fakeout. She might not be in the series. The Ninja Nonsense OP has a character who never appears in the series. But if I had to guess, I'd guess that this is Megumi's mom.

UPDATE: Some more frame grabs below the fold

Ain't she a sweetie? Shy, unassuming, a perfect Yamato Nadesico, if you ask me.

Well, maybe not.

Ah, yes, memories of a happy childhood.

A picture of her was my Halloween wallpaper last year...

2 I forgot to mention that she's also got one of the greatest names ever.
