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 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!

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.

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…

There are no fancy gimmicks or powers, there isn't a huge cast of characters, and the universe is small, yet Nami Sano makes excellent use of this limited world and creates a surreal, suspenseful, and emotional tale that leaves viewers at the edge of their seats wanting more.
"Less is more" is a great way to describe this anime, since the story is condensed and fast-paced, yet there's enough for the viewer to construct a tangible plot with compelling characters that feel real. This anime is also deep, exploring complex themes (e.g. revenge, brotherhood, redemption, duality) using many instances of symbolism and parallelism that could be analyzed for hours upon hours. Furthermore, every detail matters, as it hints at either an important plot point or character trait. Thus, Migi & Dali is…

I cannot believe this show pulled it off.
What starts as a creepy-comedy quickly devolves into ridiculous seriousness, and then into the completely deranged. There are moments of abject horror, and in the same episodes, sometimes even the same scene, there's gut-busting hilarity. With so many conflicting tones, you'd expect Migi & Dali to become a sloppy mess, but by the end it somehow manages to accomplish a perfect symphony of the absurd.
It has genuine heartbreak, intriguing mystery, and a cast of wholesome and terrifying characters all wrapped up in its quirky little package. No amount of intricate analysis or review will be able to accurately convey the essence of this series, so I will leave it at that.
The music was interesting, and the different versions of the main leitmotif w…

At the start I was barely engaged enough to keep watching, by the creepy image of two identical blond boys. By the time I got to episode 8 though the joke was wearing thin and I was only continuing out of sunk cost. The fundamental issue is that this series is a mix of a very anime plot, and the story throwing as many absurd things as possible at you.
The animeness of the plot really undercuts any investment because it draws your attention to how this is a work of fiction you've seen before. It also extends to some of the visual and audio cues too. One common anime plot point was used twice even. Saying all this without spoilers is really difficult, but I hope it makes sense.
The deluge of absurd things undercuts how interesting the show is. You know from the cover and synopsis that it'…

Migi and Dali is strange in a good way and unpredictable.
It's odd but this was actually not a bad thing because it made it charming and hilarious, and yet, the story still managed to include heartfelt and dramatic moments within it that did not feel out of place.
The characters are quirky instead of written with recycled tropes thus why it is the kind of series many started off as a joke because of how eccentric the characters are but, unexpectedly they come to enjoy because it is weirdly entertaining. Now I will say, some scenes are kind of disturbing but not because it is scary or anything similar to that description but simply just because you were not expecting it. It is not in relation to gore or even sexual but if I were to explain it, it's more like in a ''what the hell is goin…

Migi to Dali is truly one of the most bizarre and original anime I’ve ever seen. In an era where it seems like authors can only pump out isekai, it’s cool to see that originality still exists in this medium and the envelope can be pushed to these extremes. This is a must watch for any fans of psychological thrillers or those looking for a fresh watch.
Admittedly, I was a little on the fence with picking this one up as my workload for the fall seasonals was insane. But I am so glad I did. From the very first episode I was absolutely blown away by how unique this story felt. If you’ve ever seen A Series of Unfortunate Events or the Michael Myers Cat in the Hat movies you’ll know exactly the type of eerie and unsettling vibes I’m talking about. This was a very disturbing watch in the best po…

OVERALL: It's amazing, unique, and all the plot-twists will take you by surprise. This anime had a weird mood to it on the beginning because it's so unique, but the plot, animation, character development, drama and comedy are all high quality and in sync, this anime is a true hidden gem!
STRONG POINTS: I would point out that the highest qualities on this anime are definitely character development and plot.
Each scene brings out (even in extreme ways) the personality of each character, and all of them have strong traits that are an important key in the development of the plot. Not a single character comes out as useless or out of plot.
STORY: You have twins that are definitely odd, as they live as a single person after being adopted by a childless old couple. Turns out there's a very deep…

Migi & Dali — We're still shell-shocked by your loss, Nami Sano. You've been robbed from the world too soon as a young, up-and-coming mangaka who has more to offer.
If you didn't know, 36-year-old female mangaka Nami Sano passed away just recently in August battling cancer, and she didn't even get the chance to see her final work animated, which to me is a fate worse than death. And if you didn't know BETTER, she was the one behind one of anime's most pragmatic characters, who displays cool, perfect, flawless, knight-in-shining armour suave that's admired by all around him. That's right... Haven't You Heard? I'm Sakamoto. a.k.a Sakomoto desu ga?. Her debut short 4-volume manga serialized between August 2011 and December 2015 (not counting the one-shots published earlier), filled with the…
