Migi to Dali

I was thinking of reviewing the whole season in one go like last time, but fuck it, I think this works better.

I'm not sure if others had this experience, but when I was younger and newly into anime I remember it being perceived (by me, and the Internet in general) as the "wacky" and "strange" medium, you know, in that "silly Japanese cartoons where weird shit happens XDDD" lolsorandumb way. Naturally as I watched more anime that impression began to vane, since I got used to it and the novelty wore off. But if I could truly and honestly recommend you something bizarre, it would be this anime. Going in I had 0 expectations, since I never watched or read anything by Nami Sato (rip), so this anime came out of left field.

First off, this anime is hilarious. The story follows a pair of twins that are pretending to be a single child, as they get adopted into a family that lives in the town where their mother got murdered. They purposefully got adopted to solve the mystery of who killed their mom. The set-up is creepy/cute but the characters is what makes this show. Their weird mannerisms, engrish phrases, facial expressions, superhuman abilities - it all creates a very... peculiar anime. It's just so sillly, in a good way. It doesn't concern itself too much with realism and it's ridiculous in all the right places.

Despite it only being 13 episodes long, the time is well utilized, and nothing feels overly rushed. In fact the last episode wraps everything up nicely, and the ending is very satisfying. This was definitely one of my favourites this season.
