Episode Details

What happens when a seemingly perfect orphan boy is adopted by a sweet suburban couple… only for them to discover he’s actually two boys swapping places to hide a much darker truth? Migi & Dali is an eccentric blend of mystery, tension, dark comedy, and psychological drama as the twins infiltrate the Sonoyamas’ home while plotting revenge for a crime buried in their past. With sharp direction, elegant atmosphere, and a tone that slips between unsettling and hilarious, the series is a unique, addictive experience unlike anything else this year.

The salt and pepper senpai, Brendan White is again joined in the Riverside Studio by his anime rival, Courtney to share their thoughts on Nami Sano, Geek Toys and CompTown's 2023 mystery hit, Migi & Dali.
