    Amazing production -- heart wrenching Story

    I knew the Manga for a long time, but I never got to read it. I knew it was handling some hard themes, but that didn't prepare me. This Pilot gives me what it is supposed to give me -- a feeling of being unwell, sad and devastated. It looks beautiful and the characters are very good.

    I like how Takopi is the contrast to the depressing Story. It shows the cruel nature of the human species or more specific -- how evil kids are -- especially if they are growing up in a brutal household. His reaction are so pure and non understanding of what is happening right now, that it is supposed to make us realize that what is happening in schools and in our daily life isn't supposed to be normalized.

    This show isn't for everyone and if someone is struggling with mental health issues, they should really consider if they could handle such themes. Nevertheless it is an Amazing Pilot and I only heard good things about the Manga so I hope that the full six Episodes gonna be on the same level of greatness.

    An Emotional Masterpiece Wrapped in Stunning Visuals

    Takopi no Genzai is a powerful and emotionally gripping anime that goes far beyond what you'd expect at first glance. Visually, it is a breathtaking experience. The art style masterfully balances soft, expressive character designs with striking environmental details that bring every scene to life. Each frame feels intentional and rich with emotion, capturing both the warmth and darkness of the story's atmosphere.

    The animation is fluid and deliberate, especially in moments of heightened emotion. Character movements are subtly expressive-just a glance or shift in posture can carry the weight of a thousand words. This level of detail in the animation truly enhances the storytelling and allows the viewer to feel deeply connected to the characters.

    Complementing the visuals is a hauntingly beautiful soundtrack. Every piece of music feels carefully chosen to enhance the mood-whether it's a lighthearted moment or a more somber scene. The background scores blend seamlessly into the narrative, adding emotional depth without ever overpowering the visuals. The opening and ending themes are also memorable, with melodies that linger long after the episode ends.

    In short, Takopi no Genzai is an audiovisual gem. It's a series that respects its viewers, delivering a heartfelt and visually stunning experience without relying on clichés. Even without knowing the story's twists and turns, you'll be drawn in by the sheer quality of its production. Highly recommended for those seeking an anime that is both beautiful and emotionally resonant.

    Bittersweet cranked to 11

    I've always been a big fan of bittersweet media and this show is no exception. I thought I knew what I was getting into going in but even I was surprised. Seriously I can't recommend this show enough it's so perfect but please make sure you're in a good headspace if you're watching cause it's DARK even for someone who doesn't get sad or disturbed easily.

    If I had to describe the show it's a kids show but with a real world kid as the main protagonist who deals with the HARSH realities of life. It's sad and it knows it, but my god does it balance the heart shattering lows with the most beautiful of highs.

    Very nice episode

    Very very depressing and impacful beginning that shows how each life is effected by 1 person and their actions. This anime left me and my siblings in tears, the first episode is so sad... the central topics of this show I did not expect to be so depressing. I knew it would have some sadness in it for the plot to work, but I did not expect it to be so incredibly heavy, especially for the first episode.

    It's hard to cry over someone you just met, but that character and what she whent through makes it really easy to sympathize and experience her life o.o If you like Omori, this show definitely has those vibes at the moment.

    Great

    This anime was really interesting for me because after a long time and watching a lot of anime, most of which were boring and even some of them were boring like Sword Art Online, I finally found this anime through YouTube and I really feel good because the anime is really emotional. Unfortunately, this anime is short and I believe it can get a score of 8.5 or higher. I don't understand what some people mean by saying that this anime is a waste of time? My advice is to definitely watch this anime. It's really great and don't forget to give it at least 8 stars because it really deserves it. Anyway, that was my opinion.
