| I'm baffled by the fact that in this modern-age Japan Shizuka was being abandonned by her guardian for years without any intervention of the authority, and at this point I'm guaranteed that painting the grown-up evil is purely plot convenience. |

| Most anime have plot convenience, nothing special. |
| I mean no offense by this, but you must live in a very privileged area or not had to deal with how ineffective stuff like even the police can be in child abuse cases. My friends teenage sister was on ring camera getting physically thrown to the ground by her father and he was still allowed custody over other family members even after the school and cops got involved, and it wasnt till months later of her living with them in an incident where he choked her and left marks that any sort of action kept them separated. Now thats a crime involving an adult and evidence which by all accounts should be exponentially more effective to take action with cause you can get arrested for that stuff, then you see first hand how bullying just sort of happens in school systems no matter how blatant especially in a lower economic school (takopi seems to take place in a small rural town) its not uncommon to see at most a minor slap on the wrist. Is it dramatic in this, well yeah no shit theres a magical octopus with time travel abilities, but the lack of anyone doing anything no matter how obvious is incredibly common |

| Many children don't have responsible parents or guardians. Sadly, it's a common problem (depending on where you live). Claiming it's "plot convenience" speaks volumes about the sheltered life you live, which isn't bad in and of itself, but you have to learn that other realities exist. If you're a child, I understand that you don't know how the world works and that it's hard for you to understand that not all parents love their children. But if you're an adult, your ignorance is worrying, and you should go outside more often. Also, it's not "plot convenience" it's just the plot. If you want the characters to have good parents then you want another story/another anime. |

@JizzyHitler I'm going to tell you something from experience. The moment adults look away, the bullies come back & it's worse. Or adults in my time wrote it off as "kids being kids". I had adults watch me getting picked on at times. Sometimes they are also scum.
| @Sheol01 If I have to admit to embarrassing anecdotal evidence, when i was a kid in middle school I got put in a headlock by my bully and thrown to the ground in front of the entire class, I was then put on suspension just as long as him cause I "must have done something to provoke it". So yeah, this kind of shit isnt unrealistic unfortunately kids can be psychopaths and adults can be useless. Japan has a really crazy bully culture too, a really great game on is is the main antagonist of lost judgement was made as a commentary on how common it is for children to be driven to the point of suicide and the bullies always get away with it despite essentially partaking in killing someone, so the main villain is a serial killer who goes after people who drove another kid to suicide and helps the families get revenge on them without getting their hands dirty. |

| That's a silly criticism for this anime. If you want an anime which REALLY deserves it, there is it: Hoshiai no Sora, the anime where police simply doesn't exist. I'll also have to assume that apartment complexes also have no authorities in them that can prevent people from getting in. In Takopii no Genzai, however, it makes sense: The adults fail by connivance, sloth, turning the blind eye, ignorance, dismissiveness. The children fail by not knowing better and having developed learned helplessness. |
| they met up with the parents from tokyo revengers and all took a picnic together. |

| The authority in a first world country didn't even help me solve a simple case of burglary with camera and video evidence lmao what made you think they would intervene with societal problems like bullying and child neglect? You're responsible for your own life and every shitty situation in it! |

| @JizzyHitler bruh, as I had already mentioned, my post has nothing to do with bullying, rather negligence of guardianship. |
Help! I need somebody. Help! Not just anybody. Help! You know I need someone. Helpppppp! |
| As people said in this thread, this happens more often than you think, sadly. |

| @SgtBateMan Sorry, but you are really disconnected from reality. It really doesn't take "third world" country for such things to happen. People negligence, inaction from Police or relevant institutions, indifference of people around, that is all well common in western world. The "I'm not paid enough for that sh**" attitude. Only in movies "one simple phone call" does wonders. You are higly likely to call, get unmotivated social worker on the other side, that will check few boxes, say that they will investigate and that's all that will happen. Quite often neglected/abused child will not confirm the story cause either it is already disillusioned, has no faith that things will change for better, more, most likely expects things to get worse. |
