one thing interesting, Takopi doesn't know how to go back to his home planet, something tells me that's his original sin, something happened in his home.

only more 3 episodes guys, so short.. OMG 🥲, I'm already liking this series.
@LucianF I have a hunch it no longer exists. A terrible hunch that he had something to do with it, anyway.

Reminder that Marina did nothing wrong and Shizuka is a bitch who deserves everything that happened to her.

This episode felt a bit weaker compared to the other 2. Maybe they needed this in order to set-up something bigger in the next episodes. Now that they found the body, and the mother realized that Marina is being impersonated, something huge is bound to happen. But I do fear that it will not manage to be as emotional as episode 1 was for me.



Shizuka is seriously messed up, it's like she's in the middle of developing sociopathic behavior, or she has developed it already

I love how realistic the kids are. Of course Shizuka will behave like that and gives questionable demands to Azuma. She's home broken, get constantly bullied, no proper adult figure in her life... Love how this anime depicts that.

Also, Kohara Konomi has been doing a lot of heavy lifting in these 3 eps. Her range is crazy, went from being a sociopath bully with unstable emotion to becoming Takopi with a bit of emotional moment at the end of this ep. She did such a great job. Cute Marina is kind of cursed though lmao.

I read the manga about two years ago and seeing this insanity animated makes it even more disturbing. Since I am already watching another disturbing anime this season (The Summer Hikaru Died) I will bow out here since I got plenty more shows to watch at this point. I don’t think it is a bad story, just not for me (especially not in HD).

Poor poor Takopi. Should've stayed on your happy planet huh? I can easily imagine someone like Takopi offing themselves after a few weeks or months on Earth (depending on location).

F Marina's mom. Now that she lost her daughter she cares about her again. Nonetheless, it's always painful to watch once happy family shattered and broken.

Takopi did awful job masquerading as Marina though. I wouldn't give too much credit to mom for figuring out she was fake.

Shizuka is the only one really enjoying life this episode.

Hopefully people don't feel as overjoyed as they did last ep about Marina and her death. It goes without saying, again, not wanting her death doesn't equal to supporting bullies.

This episode was a step-up for me in terms of quality. I feel like, for the first time, the anime is trying to emotionally engage the audience without resorting to overly dramatic shock value scenes and excessively edgy moments. I really felt Takopi's regret, as well the weight of what happened to Marina. I'm so curious about what's going to happen now. I can't see it ending well for anyone involved

@GoateeMusic it's very uncomfortable for a lot of people to think of anything unconscious as manipulation, because most of the time there's a certain level of intentionality implied in conversation when a word as heavy as "manipulation" is being used.

Not saying it can't happen, of course. Hell, from my college days, I'm still in therapy fighting with the idea of if I was guilty of that or vice versa - friendships ending were very messy, especially when a lot of it also came down to political differences and ways we saw the world at large.

Point being though, that kind of thing is a lot harder to pin down, though I agree that we can assume from how blatantly the boy's crush was illustrated that the audience is meant to draw on the idea that, intentionally or not, his brains and dedication is making him to be some kind of useful idiot for her, as harsh as it may be to say.



@Gonta29 you mean the camera that broke episode 2? or did I miss something?

It is still hard to ignore how surreal it is that these kids and their families share more trauma than a psychiatric ward and yet the author thought it a good thing to bond their stories together with the antics of a cutesy pink blob with a vocal tic.

Think the writer is trying to tell us something about today's females???? A whore, a manipulating psycho who forced her husband to seek affection elsewhere, another diabolical mom who takes joy in belittling her youngest, one young girl who is a sadistic bully, and another who manipulates boys to get what she wants. Pretty accurate commentary on modern women in general.

This episode shows us a little bit about Marina and Azuma's situation. The children in this episode all have bad parents in different ways. but the common point is that they mostly lack proper care and severe emotional deprivation. Now that Takopi has realized the consequences of his actions, I wonder how things will turn out? I can't wait to see the next episode!

I liked this episode trying to humanize Marina more, but it didn't work. Nothing she did is justifiable, and she completely broke Shizuka, but I'm glad Shizukas has her happy moments. Now I'm afraid for Azuma's future. He's wonderful, and his mother, like all mothers in this anime, is a bitch.

Not sure this episode hit quite as strongly as the first two did, it was still good but Azuma buckling like he did because of his crush on Shizuka, I don't know that just kind of didn't work for me, I did like the second half with Takopi impersonating Marina however.

Another crazy, unhinged episode about kids hiding the evidence of a murder, this is so fucked up and good at the same time. I loved how Shizuka is a fan of insects, and we even see her with a Rhinoceros beetle on her shirt, and while the boy is writing in the notepad a perfect plan of the things going on, Shizuka is doing the total opposite, and she's drawing Chappy instead. And with all the crazy shit going on, Shizuka has her priority straight, she wants to play and have fun too, I mean I can't blame her, they are kids after all.

So far, so good, this anime is still a 10/10 for me, let's see if it can maintain the 10/10 by the end of it. Maintaining the high rating is the hard part, and goddamn it, only 3 episodes left, why is this anime so damn short?

There is something seriously wrong with all parents in this show. I don't even know who's the worst.

That said, I still believe Marina deserved getting her lights turned off.

Also, I don't think Shizuka is trying to manipulate Azuma. She's just trying to live her best life. Maybe I'm wrong, but I fail to see malicious intend here.

The dissonance between the music and the actual situation at hand makes the whole thing creepier. It's intentional, and well-executed.

It's not billed as horror, but it's low-key more unsettling than many horror shows.

And now Takopi gets to finally reflect on his actions, while seeing the reflection of his victim at the same time. I don't know about you, but that scene is a directional masterclass. Absolute cinema.

@NeoSchizo I'm hesitating whether we should add Azuma's older brother or not.

Yeah bro, scum just runs in the Shizuka family bloodline, because what the actual fuck is this girl's problem? Azuma has some sort of common sense, but because he, for plot purposes, likes Shizuka, dude obviously is gonna let it slide and help out. And because of that, yet again, he lets this girl manipulate him by stealing the ring from his brother... Seriously, this is some next-level obsessiveness, I swear.

The plan doesn’t go fully as planned ofc, but still. The fact that it even crossed his mind is just crazy. Like yeah, what a happy, loving family and mother he has, and he seriously thought about doing that... Meanwhile, our girl "Mari" is going through it, with her dad being just... yeah, and her mom slapping the shit out of her multiple times. Can totally see where she got that from, I guess. At least Takopii's finally starting to understand the consequences of their actions...

Oh, and they’ll see the consequences even more now because, would ya guess it, the body was found. Jesus.

Are you stupid? Just like Marina, Shizuka comes from a household where she was abused and she's also bullied at school. Why is it that Marina's cruel behavior is explained by her home situation, but Shizuka's trauma doesn't explain her behavior? In the end, both are basically 'innocent' children who became what they are now because of traumatic experiences.

You see how that sounds insane and completely stupid? The writer is trying to talk about cycles of abuse and how children become distorted by their environment and failure from the adults in their life. I have no idea where you got the modern women idea from when every single person we have seen in the show so far has had some sort of flaw or trauma.

Now Azuma even knows that Marina is killed from Takopi's hands, which more than the girl's happiness that her nemesis is taken down, Azuma's questioning only implores that implied murder is still bad no matter how it's being done. However, his reality of debating with Shizuka goes out the door when she wants to hide Marina instead in Takopi's Memory Box and bury her body in the Earth, and have Takopi be Marina's impersonation. At this point, Takopi still thinking he's got it, until he catches Marina's parents fighting their usual arguments, thinking that it's good conversation.

Even worse, Azuma b, andeing bought into Shizuku's graces to steal his big brother Junya's ring, though it's a close shave that he managed to survive with Takopi's Happy Gadgets. However, putting everything that he's done to earn his own mother's graces of achieving perfection, Azuma's just as screwed as Shizuku, and things in school become livelier as the kids are having fun, and awaiting the Summer break to plan their escape. All of this is what Takopi desired for, yet his return to Happy Planet isn't in effect, and the way of his talking only depicts the true rut of the reality of another Marina that her mother did not acknowledge, one that used to be a happy family until the affairs got out of hand.

One girl's treasure is another's loss, and the real Marina being found by workers, how can Takopi escape this now?

I agree but tokopi is finally realizing what he really done, honestly this episode really broke Me emotionally and I'm intrigued for the next episode
