#MIgi & Dali

[nijigasakilove]

Nah man what the fuck was this episode. Hard to watch at times

Scene of Reiko scurrying like a spider up the wall is some nightmare fuel.

First of all how you gonna have someone fuck your husband and then get mad when he falls in love with her lmao. You clearly weren’t doing something right 🤷🏾‍♂️ could’ve just adopted if you wanted a kid or gone to an actual surrogate. If surrogates aren’t around in this time period, still adoption is better than this especially if you’re insecure

But then that’s not the craziest thing. Did sis just give birth to a damn towel ?? Took the naby that looked most like she and her husband and left metry and the other boys in there 🤦🏽‍♂️ it’s a good thing migi and dali turned out to be geniuses and could open the door

People gotta stop approaching Eji when he’s on the edge of something. That’s two moms he’s pushed off the edge now. No idea how she survived that fall without cerebral haemorrhaging , guess all that evil fuels her

Murata introducing himself as Karen’s boyfriend had me dead “I didn’t know this” “well now you do” she’s funny af

People also have to stop going in lockable rooms with Reiko.. playing dead and then locking your whole family in there man this bitch has to DIE

Secret| Dark! Migi and Dali x Reader

You were the first to discover their secret, as you are their neighbour.

Let's just say, you spotted them switching places, through the hole in the fence, while 'Hitori' supposedly tried to place the bird's house on the tree branch with the help of his adoptive father.

You decide to confront Hitori about it or rather 'Dali' when you get invited over to the Sonoyamas for dinner.

Big mistake.

One, because you confronted the more manipulative twin.

Two, Dali and Migi tied you up in their room and threatened you.

"Tell Anyone about this-"

"-And we will chop your head off"

Of course you agreed in fear...however, the twins didn't stop at that.

You would feel a presence in your house more often and feel as if someone is watching you.

Totally obvious that Dali is one watching you while hiding in your closet.

Or the fact that some of your clothes or accessories is missing.

Not knowing that Migi is one who stole them.

On the other hand, the twins felt comfortable with their identities around you

Migi falls for you first.

But Dali falls for you hard.

It really wasn't hard for you to differentiate between them both.

Dali is the more manipulative and rational one.

While Migi is the emotional one, and hyper one.

They use their mind tricks on you making you feel sympathy for them.

Dali and Migi agreed to share you.

You find it strange how no one approaches you at school, except for them.

They made sure you only belong to them.

That was until you met Eiji Ichijou.

YOU ARENT STEVE JOBS

[metalandmagi]

The reason I love Migi to Dali so much is because at first you think these kids are going to be cunning geniuses because of the shit they pull off...

But they're actually the dumbest kids on the fucking planet. They're only smart when it comes to making plans to fool others. They named their persona "Hitori" as in "one person." They can't do basic math. Migi can't recognize Dali when he's in a wig and a girl's uniform, even though THEY'RE FUCKING TWINS! They can't comprehend that their new mother wears wigs. They're so stupid and unhinged, and I love them so much.

Drew this a bit ago, but, the anime was a wild ride, but, also genuinely fun! Love these weirdo twins~

Happy Halloween 🎃 new migi to dali official art

[nijigasakilove]

Well we’re a few weeks late, but better late than never for the Halloween costume contest. Another bizarre but extremely riveting episode. The mosquito outfit is definitely one of the oddest things I’ve seen this week lol.

Can’t blame Migi for being upset about Dali’s reveal as Sali. Bro was down bad for his own brother. I do kind of like the idea of some tension between the brothers. Not a bad idea for character development.

Akiyama a real one for letting him come over no questions asked. His sister looks a lot like Sali actually..

Damn that ending. Eiji a real one for taking the brunt of that prank. That pumpkin had to hurt.

My Top 12 Favorite Anime of 2023 (and more)!

This was a great year for anime, so here's a long list of my top 12 (including some bonus great anime). If you get tired of clicking the review links, check out my anime overview collection for all of them here.  You can also check out my list of favorite manga here!

Some of these are ongoing, so consider those only a review of the first cour-- no official endorsement on the rest because it hasn't aired yet!

Mobile Suit Gundam: The Witch From Mercury (Season 2)

When I listed G-Witch in last year's top anime list, I prayed the show wouldn't betray me. Fortunately, it didn't! Though the final half of the show was a bit rushed, it remained must-see, compelling sci-fi full of exciting twists and turns. And I adore the well developed romance between the robot-piloting protagonist and precious girl, Suletta, and her fierce fiancé, Miorine.  Whether you’re here for starcrossed queer lovers, robots wrecking each other, tense battles between opposing political factions, or morally-horrifying moms on a revenge spree, you’re in for a treat.

Yuri is my Job!

Hime is roped into working at a cafe where the waitresses playact as students of the fictional all girl’s school from a beloved novel series. However, Hime finds her co-worker, Mitsuki, has an inexplicable grudge against her. Thus begins a tangled web of romance and wounded feelings among the girls in the cafe! Yuri is My Job seems like a fun comedy boasting a cast full of quirky lesbians, but then reveals itself to be a complicated and fascinating examination of performance- as it intersects with queerness, girlhood,  and the desire to be “likeable” and “cute". It's top-tier lesbian drama full of fraught relationships and it's absolutely worth a watch.

The Apothecary Diaries (still ongoing, review is for the first cour)

Though it's still going, I have to sing the praises of this dazzling anime about a saavy apothecary who uses her medical expertise to solve the many murders and betrayals in the Emperor's palace. MaoMao is a fantastic lead, a poison-obsessed gremlin who's whip-smart, deadpan, and fun to follow. The Apothecary Diaries has intrigue, well-developed characters, and an impeccable atmosphere. It tells a great range of stories, from romantic triumph, to bittersweet tales of recovering from grief, to pure tragedies. I'm totally hooked.

The Magical Revolution of the Reincarnated Princess and the Genius Young Lady

When Euphie is dumped by her fiance at a ball, the oddball princess Anis rescues her.  Euphie becomes Anis' assistant in her quest to develop magical tools. The girls also start to develop feelings for each other, while discovering a conspiracy among the nobility. I'm always desperately in need of cool lesbians having action-packed fantasy adventures, and Magirevo delivers. The characters grow in entertaining ways, we get to see them fight dragons in killer action scenes, and the romantic development is completely satisfying. It's a simple story at its core, but the lovable characters, joyous queerness and jubilant execution make it a great watch.

Birdie Wing: Golf Girls' Story (Season 2)

In the second season of the anime about girls homoerotically golfing while dealing with the mafia and ludicrous family drama, Birdie Wing remains a bombastically absurd sports anime that is fun all the way through. Please come watch these girls get ridiculous sports  injuries, scream their super golf attacks, experience extremely extra plot twists--and be super gay with each other, of course. The finale didn't go quite as hard as I wanted (and the romance is more subtexual than I wanted), but you need to allow yourself to experience the madness of Birdie Wing.

Skip and Loafer

An endearingly dorky, earnest, and driven girl moves from her small town to Tokyo. While she struggles to adjust, she befriends a nice popular boy who's got some baggage. Skip and Loafer is a show that’s like a warm hug. It's sweet, entertaining and funny. It handles adolescent struggles with tender nuance. There's a emphasis on kindness, connection, and looking past stereotypes and misconceptions. It also includes a trans character who's treated with respect (and is a great character in general!) Let this show touch your heart.

Undead Murder Farce

An immortal woman has had most of her body stolen by a mysterious man. Reduced to a head carried around by her maid, she teams up with a half-demon man to track the thief down while solving supernatural mysteries all across Victorian England.

This a fun, campy mystery series starring three asshole weirdo protagonists,  it’s bursting with supernatural creatures and literary references. We've got Sherlock Holmes, The Phantom of the Opera, Carmilla and more...along with a vampire murders and werewolf drama galore. UDM is a wonderful romp with stylish, slick direction... and it’s unexpectedly really gay.  I’m aching to see more of these scrappy misfits and their adventures.

Migi & Dali

A story of twins who are pretending to be one kid in order to fool their foster parents and find out who killed their mother. It starts out as an utterly absurd comedy becomes a impressive and genuinely tense murder mystery that is incredibly moving at times, all while keeping up it’s signature brand of goofiness. There’s genuine commentary on abuse, the damage you can do to children by forcing perfection on them, the struggle of being a foster kid, grief and recovery and more. There's also some great character development. It's a weird one, but it's absolutely worth sticking with.

Pluto

Somebody is killing the most advanced robots in the  world and murdering humans alongside them. A robot detective is trying to track this killer down, but he might be compromised as well. Pluto is a tense, tense, tightly plotted robot murder mystery that keeps you on the edge of your seat. Through robots, it explores the idea of being a tool in a corrupt system, and tackles subjects like war, imperialism, and the nature of hatred. It's a masterful psychological thriller with stunning animation and a rich story.

See my full review here.

Scott Pilgrim Takes Off

This anime approaches the story of Scott Pilgrim and Ramona's seven evil exes from a brands new angle, and the results are great. We get a exploration of relationships and regrets, the messiness of communication and connection, the trials of becoming an adult, all with the signature goofy video game antics. Characters neglected in previous iterations finally get their due, new facets of the story are explored, queer relationships are delved into more, girls kiss...and it's all accompanied by phenomenal animation and a killer soundtrack.

Soaring Sky! Precure

Sora lives in a world called Skyland and wants to be a great hero. When rescuing the kidnapped baby princess, she falls through a portal to earth. There she meets her fellow magical warriors, and as Precure they protect the princess from the villains!

This vibrant, warm-hearted adventure got me back on the Precure train! This series boasts a lot exciting firsts for the franchise--the first official male cure, the first main cure that's eighteen years old- but above all, it has a lively team of characters with who have an entertaining dynamic and enjoyable individual journeys. It's often very funny, the baby has a surprisingly good character arc, and it's bursting with magical girl (and boy) goodness! It's also not afraid to give you an emotional gutpunch when you've been lured into a false sense of security by all the fun times. If you're new to Precure, this is a great jumping on point, and if you've watched it before, this is a series you won't want to miss.

I'm in Love with the Villainess

Rae is reincarnated as the heroine of her favorite dating sim. But she has no interest in romancing any of the boys- she’s head over heels for Claire Francois, the snooty villainess.

Villainess may not be as polished--storywise or animation-wise-- as these other entries. It's a messy series, it has plenty of problems...but it's also very fun, and it touched my queer little heart like no other. Queer people get to indulge in our imperfect faves too, and the silly shenanigans, blatant lesbian wish fulfillment, honest advocacy for queer people, and the joy and earnestness of the series works for me!

Some Other Great Anime:

Frieren: Beyond Journey's End (still ongoing, review is for the first cour)

Frieren is a long-lived elf who was once part of an adventuring party that saved the world from the Demon Lord. But now her friends are passing away and the world is moving on. She decides to retrace her old party's journey so she can understand what she's feeling.

Frieren is both an interesting examination of what happens after the hero saves the world, as well as a meditation on mortality, grief,  and the endless march of time. It takes you on a quiet, beautiful and sometimes touching journey though a pastoral fantasy world. There's some breath-taking animation and excellent atmosphere to enjoy.

See my review here.

Spy x Family (Season 3)

Spy x Family is pretty much staying the course from when we last checked in,  though this season gives a lot more attention to Yor, and I love the cruise ship arc and all the ridiculous fights she gets into a lot! That arc contains some of my favorite gags of the series too (like Loid’s  attempts to be a cool dad). Otherwise, Spyfam has settled into a series that intends to be around for the long haul, so don’t expect too much forward plot momentum. And Yuri (the man, not the genre) unfortunately still exists. Overall it was good season and remains a fun  adaptation. Yor, please step on me.

[crimson-chains]

THIS ANIME IS SO WEIRD AND WILD I love these twins who move like bugs, haha
