Review of Migi & Dali

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 thestrongest. 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 definitely try to tough it through the first few episodes. The art is good, the op slaps, honestly, I wasn't a fan of the soundtrack but it's not a big deal. The mystery isn't terrible, I think things were built up to adequately. There are a lot of call backs, which are enjoyable to spot, small references tend to compile into larger ordeals.

The characters, specifically Migi and Dali, are the high point of the show. Their relationship is very well written and gets a lot of exploration and development. In particular, I think the scene at the end of episode 9 was excellent. For how weird the show gets, when it hits its emotional beats, they land well.

Low point is the show tries to do a little too much. There are clearly a lot of themes, between grief, revenge and the whole twin dynamic. No spoilers, but with the twist, they were a little too ambitious for the thirteen episode runtime. Especially, with a lot of it being condensed in the last four episodes. Even though I can understand what they were trying to accomplish, they just didn't have enough time to properly execute it.

7.5/10 but I round it up to an 8

Give it a chance is what I would say
