Migi to Dali

I'm glad to have witnessed this anime while airing. This is original, unique, and clever writing. This story right here is proof that you don't always need loud action scenes or shiny animation to entertain your audience (Not that the studio didn't make this anime perfectly, and I'll get to that). Writing can be enough.

The author, Sano Nami, had all the basics covered for a bizarre, chaotic and entertaining story that gets weirder and more thrilling as it goes along. She unfortunately passed away before this anime started airing. I can only hope that she knows how well her story was adapted by the staff and received by the audience.

This is a brilliant blend of a dark comedy and a mystery. It's full of bizarre characters, be it the protagonists or the side characters. The dark and gutsy story makes this anime pretty unpredictable too. The mystery is surprisingly a proper one. It was very well written and made this show a whodunnit story as well. The more answers you got, the more messed up and darker this story became.

But this wasn't just an entertaining ride. I actually grew close to some of these characters, especially Migi and Dali. As weird as they are, they're both well written and there were some emotional moments incorporated with them.

Now let's get to the staff. This is brilliant work by studio Geek Toys. The animation is great. The direction is great. The soundtrack, by Sebu Hiroko, is absolutely amazing. It might be one of the best this year. I can't wait to see what more projects this studio will take now. The comedy scenes are well edited too. The voice acting is brilliant all around. They adapted this anime with all their heart and I'm very thankful for that.

If I had to nitpick some flaws I'd say that the conclusion (final 2 episodes) wasn't as powerful as this anime was building up to. Such a plotline would've been very difficult to conclude. And a few of the jokes didn't land for me I guess.

But that's it. Overall I was just elated after watching this anime. Please watch it if you're looking for a weirdly funny, bizarre mystery that's full of plot twists and absurdity.
