Marina is best girl, Shizuka is an awful satellite character, a parasite, inb4 I'm hating on Shizuka, I meant awful story-wise I actually like Shizuka, I ship these two

takopii said the camera was broken so it definitely would be a plot hole if he just used himself as energy, but there's really no justifying magic or even scifi with this level of technology that is on the level of magic, you can't justify magic

so my interpretation is, takopii morph himself into that gadget and used himself as energy, we've seen takopii morph to an extent even without that specific morph gadget, like extending limbs, extracting and contracting etc.

also as for takopii status, it's kinda an open to interpretation, they seem to have no concept of death that's why they don't even know what "kill" means, so depends on you I guess, but my interpretation is he just lost his body which is just data, im assuming his consciousness just went back to his planet, I don't think he's not allowed to go back, the rules seems to have something to do with not coming back "alone" which is happy memories I guess which he now has, god damn I'm a genius


this is an 8/10 like the manga, both did some things better separately

@Haunt88 braindead take plus those are fuckin kids?? They are 9 years old why on earth are you implying those two kids are in a relationship? Get help

This was a disappointment. Not sure if it was worth sitting through the many deeply-uncomfortable scenes.

There's a lot I liked, or at least respected. The art and animation were great. It felt like a lot of passion and care and time was put into this. The voice acting for the three kids hit hard. It tackled a very difficult subject matter. Some moments and characterization felt so real that I was squirming in my seat.

But I'm just really frustrated with the writing choices. The story was meandering and vague and had nothing really meaningful to say in the end. Marina's death was an interesting twist, but the anime kind of forgot about that. The alternate timeline twist with a high-school Marina was contrived, confusing, unsatisfying and mostly pointless. The final sacrifice of Takopii did not really make sense, both story-wise and thematically; why he did it, how he did it, what the anime was trying to say. I felt nothing as Takopii started glowing and disappeared.

And the bigger issue: the degree of cruelty and tragedy piled on top of each other was teetering on misery porn. It's a world where literally every adult is absent, apathetic or full-on abusive. The repeated, extended violence against children, often involving sharp objects. But I held on and gave the anime the benefit of the doubt, because the answer would've depended on whether there's a point to all of this. And after the sugar-coated, hand-wavy ending, I'm still on the fence.

The overwhelming praise this seems to be getting is puzzling. The cynic in me has me thinking that this shot up in rankings purely because it even dared to talk about this stuff at all, with multiple high-stress/high-emotion sequences. It's a rarity in this day and age, I guess. Very curious about how this anime will be talked about years down the line.

Probably one of the best anime of the year, it was really a rollercoaster of emotions, obviously it's not a series for everyone, it's a bit sad to see the superficial analyses they've done to it some, it surely has flaws like all works after all but people focus on the realism of the scenes instead of analyzing the message, takopi is very exaggerated in its representation about bullying and this is precisely its strong point, in my opinion many expected a much more didactic series and were disappointed, but I appreciate the fact that the show makes you think especially through the direction that literally speaks for itself, It's a very introspective series and many have failed to interpret the messages and have focused on superficial things, in fact if you notice, unlike the praises, the criticisms are always the same, that is, that the series became famous only because it is violent or that it is misery porn, These points don't make sense because they already exist, especially in anime, violent series like this one. Of course, if you only analyze the anime superficially, it's normal for it to seem like an edgy thing but you just have to understand that this series takes the concept of adults mistreating minors to the extreme, which is why they are all bad representatives, but this doesn't mean that the anime wants to tell you that all adults are bad, in fact even children themselves are no longer pure when hatred affects them too, it seems absurd to me that people stop at a analyzing all this in such a banal way, the strength of Takopi is precisely that of showing you things without having to be didactic

Ps: Anyone who hates him for his high score is just plain stupid, like those who hate Frieren because he is in first place, they are both of great quality and haters don't have a functioning brain, like the guys below me
