Takopi's Original Sin

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.

What began as a seemingly cute and innocent story about a cheerful alien visiting Earth slowly unfolded into something far more disturbing and emotional than I ever expected. I was completely caught off guard by how deep and dark the narrative became. As the layers peeled back, the heartbreaking reality hidden behind the smiles hit me harder than I thought possible. The soft, almost childlike animation style only made the pain feel more real - like it was hiding something tragic beneath the surface. It's a short watch, but one that left a heavy impact on me and lingered in my mind long after it ended.

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.

"Her death left me torn. At first, I felt a sense of relief - perhaps Takopii would finally find peace.

But when I paused and truly reflected, I saw a child crushed under the immense pressure of her mother.

We often sympathize with one side, forgetting the pain of the other.

I focused on Takopii's suffering, while overlooking Marina's fear and silent agony under her mother's control.

Ask yourself this: as a viewer, would your conscience be at ease if you witnessed Marina's death in real life - knowing the full story ahead of time?

This anime deeply challenged my emotions. It reminded me that adults carry a profound responsibility: our actions and words shape the fragile minds of children.

The unsupportive environment and harmful parenting methods shown in this story aren't just background elements - they are destructive forces that shatter a child's spirit.

Thank you for creating something that speaks not only to the heart... but also to the conscience."

> "A creation that spreads happiness to bring her joy, gave me hope to change her life for the better, until I reached the dolls in anime. The drawing style gives an impression that channels all your emotions and sadness into the tragedy and life of the fragile girl. At the same time, you can see an escape and a glimmer of hope for her life to become better and filled with happiness." > "I loved how the work shows us that wrong decisions affect even children, and how anger is poured out onto them. I hope the message and the true idea of the work are received, and that such behaviors are addressed and reduced in our society."
