Migi & Dali: Hidden Gem Anime That Definitely Deserves Your Attention

Does it lose popularity due to lack of seriousness?

Summary:

  • Migi & Dali is based on the manga by Sano Nami.
  • This anime combines several genres, but detective elements are at the core.
  • The first episodes of Migi & Dali can be discouraging.

Migi & Dali is based on the manga by Sano Nami, known for Haven't You Heard? I'm Sakamoto (Sakamoto desu ga?). Despite its interesting plot and inventive humor, it did not become this season's popular title. No wonder, the competition is very strong. However, this anime has a lot to offer, and it gets even better with each new episode.

Two brothers against the whole world

At the center of Migi & Dali's plot, as we might have guessed from the title, are two boys. They are brothers and orphans who lost their mother when they were very young. Now they live in an orphanage. One day, an elderly couple comes to the orphanage to take in a child. Brothers decide it should be them, but there's a problem — the couple only needs one child.

That doesn't stop the resourceful pair, and they become their son, Hitori. How? The boys are good at hiding. While one is talking or eating with his adoptive parents, the other is hiding under the table, waiting for his turn. But this is only the beginning. The plot goes deeper.

What makes the story even more intriguing is that the boys' real mother was murdered and they want to find the killer. The couple who adopted Hitori live in the upscale village where the murder took place. Migi and Dali try to please the villagers in order to get into their houses and find the place where they lived with their mother. This anime combines several genres — detective elements are at the core, but there is also drama and comedy.

Not so good in the beginning, but amazing in the end

The first episodes of Migi & Dali can be discouraging due to their lack of seriousness. There is no particular plot development, only exposition. We are introduced to supporting characters, each of whom looks and acts stranger than the one before. The brothers make almost no progress in their investigation. They make attempts, of course, but they are not successful. But there are a lot of comic situations, sometimes reaching the point of absurdity. However, they have more of a negative impact on the viewing experience than a positive one.

As the characters progress in their quest and reach the Ichijou House, the anime changes. First of all, it becomes darker and more serious. The mystery of the house is directly related to the death of the boys' mother. As more and more secrets of this seemingly dutiful family are revealed, the interest in the story grows. The main characters also change.

In the beginning, the brothers are very friendly and hardly ever argue, but as the story progresses, each of them acquires his own personality and they become much easier to distinguish from each other. Finally, what Migi & Dali are scolded for becomes much clearer with each new episode, because the absurdity makes sense and serves to convey the characters' mental state.
