2016-nen no kimi e

I wasn't expecting it to be this dark and deep. At first, i thought it would be a Doraemon like anime, but i was mistaken... It's still a interesting and good watch. But the sad thing is, this probably happens in real life especially in japan. That what makes it more interesting, it made you think and feel pitiful and sorry for these kids...

Takopi's presents itself as a fun and relaxing little anime, but unfortunately, from the very first episode, we're thrown in at the deep end. A sublime atmosphere, top-notch animation. This first episode surprises us and aims to reveal the harsh reality. This first episode is undoubtedly one of the best in the industry. This anime is presented to us as a letter, a dedication to the manga/animation industry; a story isn't always defined by fantasy but also by everyday events that can touch anyone. We can see that the staging is visually sublime, that everything is perfectly adapted while remaining faithful. So, go see this masterpiece that is only just beginning.

This is an anime that can be called amazing, with a variety of emotions, and the anime also reflects many realities in today's society. It's an anime that really touched my heart. I consider it the anime of the year. It's my favorite anime right now. Oh, and thank you to all the staff who created this anime. And thank you, Takopi.

I'm confident this is going to be absolutely worth watching. The animation is nothing short of breathtaking-fluid, detailed, and visually captivating. Every frame feels alive, and the artistic direction is on point. The plot already shows signs of growing into something rich and meaningful, with characters and storylines that grab your attention from the start. There's a unique atmosphere that sets the tone just right, and I really hope it keeps the same vibes all the way through. If the pacing and emotional depth stay consistent, this could turn out to be a truly unforgettable experience. I'm very excited to see what's next!

The first episode of "Takopi's Original Sin" is among the finest pilot episodes I've seen. At 38 minutes, it's longer than a typical anime episode, yet it feels neither dragged out nor rushed, striking a perfect balance.

It is brilliantly written and beautifully animated, the episode is complemented by exceptional sound effects. Personally, I liked it's art style and it's environment.

The dynamic between Takopi, Shizuka, Marina and Azuma evokes the charm of Doraemon, Nobita, Gian, and Dekisugi, with Takopi which is an alien wielding gadgets (Happy Gadgets) reminiscent of that iconic cat robot. The playground with three large concrete pipes even mirrors Doraemon's familiar setting.

The episode also carries echoes like Re:Zero, Edge of Tomorrow, Summertime Rendering and Happy Death Day in its idea and concept.

The storyline takes a dark and heartbreaking turn, tackling sensitive topics like bullying, depression, domestic violence and suicide with care.

Some fans have hailed this as the most emotional episode ever, but I'd advise tempering expectations. While it's deeply moving and touched my heart, it didn't bring me to tears.

With an IMDb rating of 9.7, the episode is undeniably impressive, but I believe this score is slightly inflated and little bit overrated. If it was a finale episode that it can be understandable, but a pilot episode with 9.7 rating? For context, iconic pilot episodes of Attack on Titan, Death Note, To Your Eternity, The Promised Neverland, Breaking Bad, True Detective and Game of Thrones don't even reach 9.5 rating. A rating between 9.0 and 9.5 feels more fitting for this stellar episode.

While I can't judge the entire series based on one episode, this debut suggests Takopi's Original Sin is poised to be a remarkable show. It's a must-watch for anime fans seeking a blend of heart and intensity.
