    I'm speechless..

    Wow.. this was heartbreaking, dark, painful, real.. what's a story you want to visual masterpiece what a philosophy about pain about suicide about feeling empty.. Takopis, this little innocent thing.. that doesn't know anything except happiness with a full clean heart.. comes to this hard painful hush planet.. I don't know where to begin and what to exactly say but I can say that I'm honestly shocked and I think this is going to be the anime of the year.. joy and sadness was put in a deep meaningful interesting way.. how takopis is trying to do anything to make her smile.. and at the same time when she doesn't she thinks it's her fault.. the camera scene and when she's trying to go back just to save her and not make her die was so moving and painful for me.. I can't describe how much this episode moved me.. crazy beginning great one 10/10.

    A slap from 2016

    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.

    First Impression Never Lies

    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!

    Best Episode 1 of 2025!

    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...

    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.
