![]() After that incident, Miko was never invited to a birthday party again, because the other kids were too afraid to go near her. ![]() Miko tried to apologize and explain she was just scared and didn't mean to ruin everything, but no one seemed to listened. The head landed in Aileen's cake, making Aileen cry, and all the other kids scream and back away from Miko. When the Ralphie Bear animatronic showed up with a creepy smile and flashing eyes in front of Miko, Miko panicked and karate kicked it, decapitating it. In the birthday room, Miko was brought on the stage with Aileen carrying her birthday cake, while the Cakey Von Smasher animatronic showed up programmed to threaten to smash the cake. ![]() Miko was once given a party invite to a birthday party at Joystick Junior's for Aileen Staropolis' eighth birthday. When Miko was around six years old, about 10 years ago, her family had just moved into Bailley, and Miko, being the new kid, had trouble making friends. When not on a mission, she works with him as a receptionist at the Hinobi store in Bailley, and hangs out with him outside of work. She is usually seen with High Five, working closely with him as partners on missions to defeat glitches. She is constantly running, and extremely hyper. ![]() She is athletic, able to kick her legs high above her head. To sum it up, Glich Techs is an extremely fun and satisfying watch and I cannot wait to see what Eric Robles and Dan Milano have in store for season 2.Miko is a 16-year-old Japanese-American girl who has a job working for Hinobi's technology store and is secretly working as a Glitch Tech. If there is any one thing I can fault the show for, it's that some of the dialogue can come off as cringy or trying a tad too hard to pander to the Gen Z crowd, but this is an extremely minor complaint. A series of this quality is exactly what their *actual* channel needs at this point. In a way, I'm almost sad that Nick decided to relegate this show to Netflix. For Glitch Techs, it feels like the creators took elements from Danny Phantom, Ghostbusters, Men in Black & even Scott Pilgrim and rolled it all into one upbeat, eye-catching, action-filled romp that any animation fan, gamer or no, should be able to appreciate. The sheer passion that Five and Miko hold for video games is one that can be related to by anyone who happens to love them as well. Being a show heavily themed around video games, Glich Techs is especially fun for those who are avid gamers, containing fun references to everything from Pokemon and Castlevania to Metal Gear Solid and Street Fighter. Both of the lead characters are well fleshed out and play off of each other extremely well. The writing in the show is relatively simple and straightforward (aside from the double-length pilot episode) but manages to be engaging and character-focused without slipping into overly-childish or obnoxious territory. Throughout the course of the first season (the only one available as of the writing of this review), Five and Miko grow and learn with and from each other all while battling cool-looking digital monsters via some of the best action choreography I've seen in an animated series in years. Five's analytical personality contrasts well with Miko's high-energy and excitable nature. Next, there's our two lead characters, Five and Miko, who are a lot of fun to watch together. The animation fluctuates between smooth and intentionally choppy which helps to give it a very distinct and unique feel, and the electronic and glitchy music fits the show like a glove. It's vibrant, stylized, and really helps to convey the overall tone of the show. Right off the bat, the art style of this show is fantastic. The premise of the show is a solid one: Hector (High Five) and Miko are two teenagers who, through a surprisingly complex series of events, end up as Glitch Techs: soldiers who use high tech weaponry in order to battle rogue video game code (glitches) that manifests in the real world. After a rather abysmal decade, it looks like Nickelodeon is hitting the round running in 2020 with Glitch Techs.
