Plot Overview – Based on a manga by Nami Sano, this mystery-thriller series introduces the audience to orphaned identical twins, Migi and Dali, who craftily scheme their way into the lives of an aging wealthy couple Sonoyama Osamu and Sonoyama Youko. The couple believes they’ve adopted a single child, Hitori, with no clue that they’ve unwittingly welcomed two brothers into their home, who have their own agenda.
Episode two of the anime series ‘Migi to Dali’ revealed that the twins wanted to live in Oregon village, because it’s where their mother had died and the brother’s want to investigate her murder and nab the killer. Episode three begins with a brief flashback of the twins with their mother and then shifts focus to Migi and Dali’s plan to gain clues to who could’ve killed her. The boys have a distinct memory of a house with a specific kind of wallpaper, so they intend to take a look at every house in the village and decided to befriend as many people as they can to gain access to their homes. Not the greatest plan, but the boys are barely thirteen after all.
‘Migi and Dali’ continues to be an absurd mystery series with horror overtones, despite being a straightforward yet exaggerated story about a pair of twins pretending to be the same person. However, this time around, there weren’t any particularly creepy sequences that stood out. In this episode, the boys make new friends, including the kind Shunpei Akiyama and the bratty bully Maruta. As the brothers navigate the complexities of these new friendships, it becomes increasingly clear that the older brother, Dali, is more assertive and hot-headed, while Migi is the meeker one, despite being easily swayed by his emotions.
Evenly paced, episode three introduces some bullying and even hints at slight sexual undertones (which took me by surprise, given that I haven’t read the manga), but it doesn’t delve into anything too bizarre. Migi and Dali’s step-parents make a brief appearance, and a new character is introduced towards the end, leaving viewers intrigued about the potential twists this new addition will bring to the story.
