2016-nen no Kimitachi e

I thought that by going into this show it was going to keep me entertained for 6 weeks over the Summer, But this show did more than that. This is one of the most emotional, traumatic, and beautiful shows I have ever watched. This show is one of the only shows that has ever made me cry. 10/10 masterpiece.

Only six episodes were enough to prove that it is an iconic work. Every episode is better than the one before it, and the plot twist in episode five was legendary-written with a golden pen. All my respect to the writer, the director, and the entire team-you've created a cinematic masterpiece. Thank you!

"I didn't expect them to finish it in just 6 episodes. Even though I've read the manga, I still cried when I saw the ending. It was truly beautiful and amazing. A beautiful ending that resolved something that wasn't even their main problem. I think I'll miss Shizuka, Marina, and Azuma - they were truly touching. Thank you for adapting this anime, I really loved it."

Honostly i started this while thinking its another cool anime nothing too much but after like half the 1st ep i realized i was very wrong this might win anime of the the last ep had me crying fr it also shows that children can also suffer just like adults and if parents give too little attention it can lead to awful things for their children and it shows that te children are the one who get hurt the most when their parents are fighiting it brakes me to know that some children are living like this.

To be honest, while I was amazed by the beginning of Takopi's Original Sin, I read manga reviews which said the ending was rushed or disappointing and the material had gotten worse over the course of the show. Seeing the last episode, and the episode before, I couldn't understand why that was going to be the case, and I feared that the ending would leave me feeling completely dissatisfied. I can now say those reviewers were completely and utterly wrong - this was the perfect ending for the series which has solidified it as one of my favourite ever shows.

Previous episodes really built for something to happen but I really did wonder how they were going to end the show - this brings me to the first point I'll make which is that this is not a predictable ending. The way things occur, the things that transpired in this episode weren't easy to predict - then again, I am considering it alongside the episode before, but it's certainly not an obvious or troped ending in any way, shape or form.

The second point I have is that this was the right ending - it was an ending which understood perfectly the point of the show and the message it wanted to leave without having to explain that too much or completely ruin the plot up to that point. The ending made sense for the plot and concluded it excellently.

Now I could act like this logical analysis - typically I'd force a third point and argue that this ending was logically, an incredible ending but no - this ending was just incredible. I'm not going to overcomplicate it. Because as far as I'm concerned this ending brought everything to the end it needed to, and it made me cry, and if it can do those 2 things, it is a wonderful and incredible ending already. I don't need to defend this show, I just need to emphasise just how good this ending is. That's all I'm going to do.

This was the perfect ending for the best show I've seen for a long while. Few shows can achieve these heights with less than 2 hours of actual footage without the intro and ending credits and with viewers having less than 2 months of commitment to the characters. I think this show has transcended the heights I expected to be created by this relatively unknown show which surprised everyone with its ending.

10/10. I love this show.
