Warning: Spoilers for Miggy and Dally episode #4The ongoing thriller Miggy and Dally is one of Crunchyroll’s scariest releases this year, and in that regard, it easily topped the anime’s early fall anime list. The first episode was so unexciting that the series still couldn’t reach the same level in the later episodes, but especially those who like to destroy anime have been fed consistently well for the past few weeks, although the shock is still there, the focus changes dramatically in episode #3.

Adapted from the late Nami Sano’s original manga, Miggy and Dali’s unstable nature stems from the main characters’ delusions, which feels particularly sinister as their targets are an older couple who can share some of the experiences they’ve never had before. to have with their own children.

In fact, Miggy and Dally hid their polygamy from their adoptive parents; Because an elderly couple only wanted to adopt an only child named Hitori and didn’t even know he was a twin. Although absurd, Miggy and Dally go to great lengths to hide this truth from their adoptive parents as they unnaturally freeze their bodies.

Miggy and Dali is one of the most disturbing anime of the year.

Although revealed later in episode #3, their shame is heightened by the mystery behind it, especially since the series gives the impression that these twins are raising their adoptive parents for their own benefit and somehow working on the elderly. A couple. It fills the viewer with a sense of dread, thinking that seemingly deliberate actions could somehow turn out to be evil. Even when the truth behind Maggie and Dally’s scam is revealed in episode #3, that sense of foreboding remains.

The same thing can be done when the main targets of the boys known by their names reach beyond the elderly couple. Although it’s unlikely that the boys could harm someone as innocent as their adoptive parents, the stakes behind Miggy and Dally’s true mission maintain the terrifying suspense that has hung over the series since the first episode. As their boundaries expand, the twins’ inner senses are filled with new victims’ personalities. It becomes clear with each episode that their new targets are deeply disturbed individuals, although the elderly couple are not the primary targets of Miggy and Dally’s machinations, allowing the atmosphere to continue.

Of course, all of Miggy and Dally’s unsettling atmosphere wouldn’t be effective without the creepy music lurking in the background. Some moments are innocuous and maybe even sweet without the soundtrack. Similar to horror master Junji Ito, the series sometimes turns innocent moments into horror to scare the audience. Miggy and Dally is a must-see for horror fans, as well as horror connoisseurs, thanks to the haunting atmosphere in every episode of the soon-to-be Crunchroll classic.
