An overall all-rounder good show. It starts off a bit slow, but the mix of comedy and eeriness is fantastic. Migi and Dali are both so hilarious, but don't let that fool you the show has depth to it, and the storyline is unique.
Not usually one for weird, creepy, or thriller shows, and normally sticking to basic shonen and shoujo, but this was truly unique. Highly recommend making it past the first 3 episodes, as the show progresses it gets better. The way Migi and Dali kept their identities a secret was so silly and fun, laugh-out-loud stuff, their antics were amazing. The show pairs really well with the theme of mystery. Overall, does not disappoint.
So unexpected and hilarious. From the beginning, the worry of how Migi and Dali will conceal their identities from others keeps you hooke…

Migi & Dali is a 2023 anime adaptation of the final manga by Nami Sano, best known for "Haven't You Heard? I'm Sakamoto." Premise is Twin brothers Migi and Dali are orphans seeking revenge for their mother's mysterious death and return to the town where the tragedy occurred, they deceive an elderly couple by pretending to be one perfect child named Hitori. While living this double life, they investigate the truth behind their mother's death and uncover the disturbing secrets hidden beneath an idyllic suburban community.
It's just bittersweet knowing that this was Nami Sano's final work, because her creativity and storytelling ability leave you wishing there were more stories from her that we could have experienced.

One of Migi & Dali greatest strengths is its storytelling and its…

[JP, subtitles are average; Micchan escaped localization for once]
The mangaka did what she wanted and so does the anime. That is all I will say about the story.
For an anime by Geek Toys this was unexpectedly well scripted. There is no scene padding or packing.
Unfortunately because it is Geek Toys there is some censory going with what you do get to see but unlike usual they did do their best to skirt no-fun-allowed rules of which I can't say without spoiling something. If you have watched enough anime to compare then & now you will know when you see it.
Putting together a script that stands on its own as a finished quality makes Geek Toys' and CompTown's futures promising ones, one would think. But one year later they, Geek Toys and CompTown, made Salaryman ga Isekai ni Ittara Shitenno…

If you want an anime that is short enough to just watch and binge it in a day and blows your mind within a few episodes, this is the one for you. This one really got me with all the plot twists and was very wholesome at the end, too. This story is not just about two boys switching places continuously for the whole damn anime but no, this is a lot deeper and darker ep by ep. I saw this one from TikTok and thought it wouldn't be that good, but man, it's really good. At least it is for me, though. It's 100% recommended for you to try out!

This has to be one of the funniest and consistently surprising shows I’ve ever seen. Every character is so well written and each is funny in their own right. And even when I thought I knew what was going to happen, the characters would surprise me big time. Like at least twice an episode, a plot twist would get me and id laugh out loud. And even with all the funny moments and plot twists, the show manages to be so emotional at times too. It never felt forced, but dayum I had a single tear go down my face a couple times. Please watch this, it’s weird, fun, sad, happy, shocking, and pure entertainment. I don’t think we’ll get another show like this for years, if ever again.
Other notes: the music was good, the art style is fun, the story is so unique.

There are many gag-comedy anime that might charitably be described as "one-trick ponies": they have exactly one joke, that joke gets introduced in the first episode, and all other episodes are just variations on this joke. Even if their gag, and the variations on it, are funny, you can't help but feel somewhat tired near the end.
Migi to Dali is the exact opposite of this. In fact, I would even go as far as to say that it subverts the entire genre of comedy anime with how much it is NOT a one-trick pony. The first episode makes you think that haha, this is a funny gag, but they can't possibly drag this out for 13 episodes. The second episode already starts to make you rethink that, and as the episodes go on, you are left to think that it can't possibly get any crazier than THIS, can it?…

this is going to be my first review since my old MAL acc got lost, but omg this anime is actually so good.
at first, you'd think this is just going to be another ridiculous anime with an on and off plot, but that wasn't the case for this at all. Maybe it's because I've already watched 'Haven't You Heard? I'm Sakamoto' in hs, but I absolutely loved the uncanny humor mixed with the show's own eeriness on the actual plot. I loved every character's own personalities, even the villain was well-written.
although, it's sad that this is how I find out that the manga artist I loved back in high school died with this as her final manga. the masterpieces she could've created if it weren't for cancer.... May she rest in peace.

this anime is like an emotional, quirky rollercoaster, blending humor with dark suspense. it's super unique, so here’s a quick look at what hits and misses:
(+) the twin bond and character growth hit you right in the feels
(+) a solid mix of humor, mystery, and suspense that keeps you guessing
(+) tackles deep themes of identity and loyalty in a refreshing way
(-) the layered plot can get confusing if you’re not fully tuned in
(-) art style and some dark humor might not be everyone’s thing
if you’re on the fence about watching Migi to Dali, i say go for it! this show’s a total vibe—you won’t regret diving into all the twists and turns!

Utterly Bizarre
I will say upfront that I did not enjoy watching this show roughly sixty percent of the time. It is deeply unsettling and weird. It was an uncomfortable watch and the love triangle made me wanna walk into the ocean (you will understand what I mean once you watch it). That is all specific to me, unfortunately, I think I'm generally predisposed to dislike surrealist or generally uncanny settings. For example, hunter x hunter makes me occasionally uncomfortable (nowhere near to the degree that this show does), I have very low tolerance for this genre.
Anyways, the first episode comes off by far the strongest. Further in not only do you become acclimatised to the oddities but also, in general, the characters become less caricatures and more relatable as you go. So I'd say de…

An interesting tale that'll both warm your heart and send chills down your spine
The way the mysteries unfold are quite predictable, but their layout is engaging and gives the show a flowing pace making it easy to binge, and although the animation is rather low budget, it's used in clever ways that accentuate the madness that's infused in the series, i especially like the subtle eye movements some characters have, it really intensifies the uncanny vibe of the town of Origon
Despite the exagerated nature, the psychological elements are pretty well done, giving us unfiltered access to the characters minds
There are however some scenes of which the execution borders on the fetishy which might bother some viewers, but rest assured the anime never crosses the line of outright glorifying unacc…

Amazing. This anime created some emotions i did not expect. The plot is super catchy and keeps you glued to the screen and the combination between creeps and sensitive is elite. You never expect the next move, but at the same it feels so natural.
The story is quite unique. it does not follow their evolution as characters, but more likely push them to change and become different individuals. Even if they are identical twins, both physically and mentally at the beginning, them getting closer to achieve their goal creates opportunities where you can clearly see them as separate personas.
If you are into weird and creepy things, but at the same time you want a happy ending with something to remember after, this anime is for you.
It deserves a shot!

FUCKIN' PERFECT - is the only way to describe this show.
Right from the first episode, my interest had been piqued and as the episodes went by, I was constantly at the edge of my seat!! The pacing is so good with no plotholes, only suspense and incredible thrill.
Its amazing to see just how much content the studio could squeeze into a 13-ep season. The ending couldn't have been more perfect T-T !!! The characters are well throughout without including unnecessary drama between them to show their growth into becoming friends. The MCs Migi and Dali are also really smart, courageous and adorable. Even the antagonists are quite well-written. From time to time the show does give off creepy vibes but I think it just makes it more unique. its a solid mix of suspense, mystery, comedy and heart-w…

This show it's a beautiful brotherood story, ye the plot is not preatty original but the whole story telling, the evolution of main characters (side character have their time too) is something you will like.
Despite I didn't like the previous opera by the same artist (Sakamoto desu ka) I've enjoyed my time watching this new serie, finally the artist gave an evolution to his characters and a meaning.
In this review I would focus more on the message of the opera and not the plot (you can find tons of review 'bout that).
Migi & Dali are two twin brothers, equal in appereance, equal in clothing and equal to other people eyes, but are they really the same person?
How many times you have been compared to your big brother/sister? How many compliments to you were instantly compared to you big br…

Migi and Dali is a textbook example of subverting viewer expectations. Be prepared for a roller coaster of laughs, suspense, surprise, and the sentimental.
I will avoid getting into the plot as it is something better to be experienced, but whatever expectations you have from even the third episode onward will be flipped upside down in the end. The writers clearly knew what they were doing, and this is shown in everything from the writing to the execution.
First, the comedic timing in the show is perfect and leads to unexpected bursts of laughter. You may think it is a show where seeming gags will become old, but there is always something new around the corner. I found myself laughing out loud during almost every episode because of some purposefully obscure dialogue, character action, or…

Well, this anime isn't amazing, isn't horrible, isn't fancy, isn't completely useless... It's something, yet probably you have to discover what it is, I guess.
Review can't really sum it all without spoilers. From my POV it was interesting anime but just near the end. Can't really say that first episodes would get me hooked.
Anime is checking the ground around identical twins and some schemes to work with this opportunity but a lot of those ideas are not even finished in anime. There is always some good idea presented, *flop* and it's gone for the rest of the anime, which is a pitty.
Last 3-4 episodes I would say? are good and enjoyable. There are some emotions, finally some proper story, action and multiple characters scheming things together. On the other side, first 2-3 episodes are…

You wouldn't expect to enjoy an anime that would attempt to focus on dark-comedy. Migi & Dali is definitely a unique attempt of trying a new concept for comedy and they actually pulled it off, you would just have to see it for yourself to see what I mean. The animation was very clean, flawless voice-acting, and it's funny without even trying. Usually, a show like this where you cannot predict what is going to happen next is good. I would recommend it to a friend who watches anime regularly or for someone who watches a decent amount of anime, but definitely not to someone new or who does not watch anime at all.

Spoiler-free review.
Migi and Dali is a very unique show. I was hesitant to watch it, but once I started I realized that it was a masterpiece.
The show taps into a very unique genre: uncanny comedy. The show seems like something of a cross between Sakatomoto and something by Junji Ito, which kind of makes sense since it's written by the author of Sakamoto (which I also highly recommend.)
It also has substantial elements of mystery and suspense which eventually supersede the comedy as the story develops, and it does have some very dark moments, but the comedy never completely disappears.
I don't think there's any point in trying to compare this show to any other anime since it differs so much from any other show I've seen. Definitely worth giving a try.

Super fun anime to watch, with great comedy parts mixed with the progress of the story. There was no episode in which I left without a smile on my face or a look of shock due to the events of the plot. Even though it's short, it's very well tied together and manages to take us out of that sea of super famous animes where everyone has a very similar skeleton.
Furthermore, the dynamics of the relationship between the two brothers is beautiful to see, and the tribute to the author at the end touched me a lot.

This is one of the weirdest anime I've ever seen... and it's right up my alley. This show gives dry and unexpected comedy while simultaneously telling a story of mystery, terror, and... individuality? This is a "found family" type beat but focuses on two twin brothers. I laughed out loud and shed a few tears watching this. It doesn't earn a 10/10 because there are some... questionable.... interactions that occur between the brothers. It's only 13 episodes long and doesn't leave you on a cliffhanger (season 1 is the completed story), so it's perfect for someone who wants to watch something quick. I do not recommend this for someone who is trying anime out for the first time! Too weird... If you are looking for a first timer anime, try Buddy Daddies.

I'm going to be honest, this show is a decent show. The antics and immature innocence of Migi and Dali are both heartfelt and plain insane. The main premise of the show seems to revolve around the village and whoever murdered their mother. Which in itself is an interesting story and plot. However, most of this show seems a bit boring to me. That doesn't mean it isn't interesting or good. Usually a show is supposed to hook you by the first episode. I was skeptical by the end of the first episode and kind of didn't really care much about the theatrics of Migi and Dali portraying themselves and one person for the sake of their anonymity. As the show went on, it does indeed get better and the mystery thickens. It takes some getting used to but overall I think this show was decent at best. Once…
