| @deepole we dont know that for sure |
Binged the manga yesterday & no spoilers but tbh 👀 y'all picked up on *something*. |
| cranky because your taste sucks, aren't you? |
| ...the stupidest show ever. no wonder, it breaks the rating's ceiling. it's even worse dramaturgically than shinkai (!!!!!!!) |
| What an anime. I never would have expected to get this specific kind of feeling from an anime. The art is beautiful and fits the theme perfectly, and the story is very expressive. What I liked is that it’s easy to understand even for someone who struggles to find the hidden meanings in a story. In this episode, the shift to the other point of view in the events was really amazing and emotional, and it made me feel pity for the blonde girl that I unbelievably hated. I’m excited for the next episode and I have no idea how the anime will end, but I’m sure it gave me — and will keep giving me — scenes that stay in memory. **Note: This text was translated using AI, so I apologize in case there are any spelling mistakes**. 4.5/5 |
| Man... I don't think we should justify that murder incident. These kids' lives are screwed from the start. Would I blame their parents? I'm not sure if I should. Sympathy hugging |

| Gave a great glimpse into Marin's life and what she had to deal with. Also love seeing Takopi realizing what the world is really like slowly. |

| Amazing ep Ngl, I didn't expect Azuma to catch them leaving the scene. The way Azuma got manipulated into a accomplice by Shizuka is insane, like he really a whole new character now. Hiding the body just bc Shizuka instructs him to was crazy as well. That plan was never gonna work, I can't lie. Azuma's mother tripping fr, bro got an A, but no breakfast. All the parents in this show are oc. I had a feeling that Takopi posing as Marina was gonna get him exposed (obviously), he simply let the mother down, all due to the father and if not the most random switch-up seen in anime. Family life was great, what changed??? Once again, Takopi is forced is develop as a character as he learns the consequences of his actions and the manipulation that Shizuka has on him. Marina went through a lot, I can't lie, this bs is insane. Children really are affected by their environment (nurture). Now, the body has been found, juvie is near for those 2. As for Takopi, I can see him doing sum, I just don't know what or when. 10/10 |

| That alien doesn't really understand about feelings. It's really horrible to see how it can still be smiling in that situation... |

| being a parent is hard, but being the child of scumbag parents is much harder apparently. @Ionliosite2 Reminder that Marina did nothing wrong and Shizuka is a bitch who deserves everything that happened to her. Oh I don't think she deserved everything that happened to her, but yes of course she has mental problems, but never hurt anyone. Shizuka turned into a sidecharacter now after the bullying stopped, which is kind of strange. Also interesting that she starts manipulating Azuma into doing mean things. |

| It's interesting how Takopii learns that there is always another side to the story, through acting as Marina. I wonder if this will make him trust the other two less, or at least realize that everyone is flawed to some extent, because everyone is ignorant to some extent. Azuma is an interesting character. He's very starved for emotional connection, and just wants to know that he matters. He must have felt bad every time when Shizuka told him that he can't help her with her bullying situation... I guess that's why he always liked Shizuka; she's somebody who is willing to talk to him unconditionally, possibly because he's the only person in her life who showed her any kindness. We also get to see more to Shizuka this episode. She is no longer devoid of hope, and becomes... Oddly energetic..? Even though, as we all know: Chappy is not in Tokyo, nor will he ever come back. I also wonder if she's a self-centered person; I imagine that her life would have given her a me-versus-the-world mentality. She genuinely does not care about Marina's death, nor does she consider it wrong for Azuma to steal his older brother's ring if he wants to. I suppose having terrible things happen to you over and over again would remove a lot of empathy from a person; people can't care about others when they barely make it themselves. Now that Shizuka is finally able to control the things in her life – something she considers to be "magic" – I wonder if she will try to control it as much as she possibly can. |
Reply to iluvrefrigrators
one thing bothering me is why did they only bury the body halfway... i know takopi is still naive but at least the boy had enough sense to know they couldn't just leave her there
| @iluvrefrigrators They buried it properly underground but didn't pack the soil on top. So, after a few days, the soil shifted and revealed Marina. |
| A bit unsure how I feel about this episode, wasn't feeling it in the first half but I was a big fan of it exploring Marina's home life more. Also really funny to me seeing Marina and her dad playing Pokemon Black 2/White 2 in a short scene, loved the detail there. |

| Azuma has his fingerprints all over marina's body. farewell i guess |

| Shizuka basically turning into the villain this episode isn't surprising considering the ending of episode two and her abuse. People who go through childhood abuse have a higher risk of doing it when there older or when they are experiencing it, like with Marina too. |
| Go read Berserk and One Piece they're the best thing ever |
| This is fuckin messed up...only 3 episodes left too, I am giving up on a happy ending. |
| THE ONE PIECE IS REAL!!! |
| Marina was a bully, a horrible one at that, but she never deserved to die. |

Reply to MackWylde
If the rest of the series is this good, Takopi's Original Sin will be one of my new favorite animes!
| @MackWylde I am afraid it won't be one of your favorites in that case. You are way too hasty to put Takopii on top of your favorite anime. I suggest you to watch this anime btw. |
| Maybe I judged Marina too hard because that episode made me emotional about her, after all is life was not really easy to and she deserved the same help as Shizuka, this anime is very hard for a sentimental guy like me! |

| This anime is one of the most heavy and traumatic I've ever watched, it just shows what being raised in a broken home can do to a child. All the parents shown have been abusive or neglectful, even Azuma had it rough with his mother demanding perfection from him. I'm more grateful than ever for my boring yet peaceful life. On another note, the trio did a horrible job of burying Marina's body... it's no surprise she was found so quickly. I know they're only kids, but surely they didn't think it'd go unnoticed? I wonder how they'll handle the aftermath. Takopi seems like he understands humans a little better now, so hopefully he'll find a way to resolve everything. |
