2016-nen no kimi e

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.

This anime is amazing, of course the production and the animation are unique and worth watching for itself but the way the anime's story goes and how each scene transition you pray that something bad doesn't happen. I love how it represents hatred, joy hopelessness and things, it's a must watch to rather understand the despair everyone goes through that may not be visible in their everyday routine.

The content does remind of the anime "Erased" but the way it is represented here is something else. If you are going to watch this be prepared for that anything can happen i think. I haven't read the manga unlike other watchers so I had first hand experience and it delivered.

I love it so far.

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.

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.

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...
