TO ALL OF YOU SAYING TAKOPII IS 10/10 ANIME

Why do you care so much that people can give this a 10? It doesn't necessarily have to be flawless to be a 10/10 for some, maybe people just like it, does it really matter that much to you? You sound like a grading inspector

Y'ALL HAVE TO REALIZE and Let’s be real — this series leans heavily on emotional manipulation (cheeky tricks).

It uses pain, trauma, and tragedy as cheap tricks to make people feel like the story is deep or profound. Just because something made you cry doesn’t mean it’s flawless writing.

Yes, the themes are dark. Yes, the message hits hard. But does that automatically make it a masterpiece? Or are we just reacting to shock and sadness?

There are serious plot holes, especially in how the adults behave. Characters make decisions that barely make sense unless you assume everyone’s brain shuts off for drama’s sake.

I'm not saying it's garbage. I'm saying:

Just because an anime hurts you emotionally, doesn’t mean it’s automatically a 10/10.

I also think it's a bit much for people to think it's a 10/10 for an anime that only has 2 episodes out of 6. It's a short story, it doesn't have the depth of a longer one, meaning it's too empty to deserve such a high rating.

1. YES, I’m being “inspector grader” or whatever label you wanna throw

2. My whole point is rooted in psychology. A lot of people are emotionally overwhelmed, and when that happens, your brain turns off the critical thinking switch. when you’re overwhelmed emotionally, you often skip over logic or flaws. That’s what I’m pointing at.

3. About the “plot hole(s)” — fair correction. With just 2 episodes, I should’ve said a plot hole, not plural.
But let’s talk about that hole specifically:

People here are star-struck by the pain and miss the holes, like the dog bite scene that felt forced.
No adult intervened, no conversation with the dog’s owner, no emotional reaction from Shizuka afterwards.
That’s not dramatic realism — it’s a contrived setup. You're ignoring this just to pump up a 10/10?

4. And yeah, I’ve given some anime a 10/10 before — I’m not hiding that. But let’s be clear:

There’s a huge difference between a “fun 10” and a “masterpiece 10.”

When I gave stuff like Saiki K. or Konosuba a 10/10, it wasn’t because I thought they were flawless or deep — it’s because they genuinely entertained me, and I had a blast watching them.

I wasn’t out here writing essays about how they’re “perfectly written” or “life-changing.” I just stood on what I liked.

What I’m seeing with Takopi’s Original Sin is people giving it a 10/10 while acting like it’s untouchable — like it’s some god-tier writing. And that’s the problem.

You can love something and still admit it has flaws.
But if you’re calling it a masterpiece and ignoring things like broken logic or plot holes just because it made you cry?
Then yeah, we gotta talk about that.

5. And to the people saying “it’s just one scene, lil bro” —

That “one scene” is literally the catalyst.
You’re telling me not to overthink it, but the writers built the entire emotional fallout on top of it.

If a story wants to be taken seriously — especially one dealing with trauma, abuse, suicide, and neglect — then the setup has to be solid. You can’t fumble the first domino and expect me to cry when the rest fall.

Imagine watching Attack on Titan and the wall breach was caused because someone forgot to lock the gate, and everyone just shrugged it off like "eh whatever, still a 10/10."
Nah, bro. That’s not how storytelling works.

If you’re going to praise it like a masterpiece, then yeah — I’m going to scrutinize it like one.

You're right. Kafka's "Metamorphosis" isn't as deep as "50 shades of grey", because the latter is a novel while the former is just "a short story".

Kyou_Ryuu said:
I agree with you here, but definitely we can't expect that much depth from a show with 2hrs and 30' of runtime.

@Normalite But let's take long stories like Fullmetal, Steins Gate and Code Geass, in these anime over time you can easily like the characters and their motivations but Takopii is too superficial for a high rating like that, people just get too emotional.

I agree with you. They be making misery porn just so people with lack of comprehension could bawl their eyes and give 10/10. I don't really expect much from this community.
-Make an anime
-Add gore like statuary rape and child molestation
-No story just shock value
-10/10 masterpiece to normie anime fans that have never consumed a proper media which actually has good writing in it and just doesn't base anything on shock value.
