I needed Takopi
When I was in elementary school I was bullied so badly, and I've never seen anything even come close to depicting how I felt. This, however, was an absolutely perfect depiction. It felt like there was literally nothing I could do, no matter who I talked to, what I said, or what I tried, the bullying would never stop. I never attempted suicide or tried to leave school, but that's because the idea was so unknown to me that it never crossed my mind, and I shudder to think what may have happened if it had.
This is a part of my life I try not to think about, ever, but watching Takopi help the girl through all the bullying, and be there for her, and have the solution to every problem, it makes it feel like Takopi is there for my younger self. This show is serving to heal my trauma and give me a version of my childhood in which I'm able to overcome the bully and I get to have a happy elementary school experience.
Furthermore, I was also in 4th grade in 2016! This show truly feels like it was made for me, it feels so deeply personal and important and I love it more than anything I've ever seen or read, I can only hope it continues to be this good.
