My god, six episodes in and Takopii is still the same annoying mess he was at the start. He finally got his memories back last episode, and yet he's still going around saying things like, "DoN't YoU WaNna SeE ShIzUkA HaPPy?" Like seriously? Please for the lvoe of god, FUCKING STOP. At least Azuma showed some actual development. Meanwhile, Takopii hasn’t changed a bit, still clinging to this version of Shizuka that barely even feels like Shizuka anymore.

But ofc, since it’s the final episode and we have to force a happy ending, we somehow manage to change the mind of a literal murderer in under three minutes, because that totally makes sense. And then we reset the timeline, effectively making everything that happened completely pointless. What a joke. Oh, and somehow Marina and Shizuka magically remember Takopii after all that, just conveniently enough to give us a feel-good bonding moment at the end.

God, the show was already awful, but this ending honestly rivals disasters like Darling in the FranXX, truly. And the similarities are hard to ignore, both are carried almost entirely by their animation, with everything else falling apart. That said, I’m still genuinely curious to see where the studio goes from here. ENISHIYA is easily one of the most interesting new companies to emerge this decade. I just hope their next project actually lives up to their potential instead of being another frustrating waste of talent.

I mean, "wanting ppl to be happy" is Takopi entire thing. Its just human are more complicated to just "be happy".

Also,its still the same Shizuka, it quite literally said out in words that human are both good and bad within like the first 5 minutes of the episode. The Shizuka doing the good and bad are one and the same,just different side of one person.

Btw,you would be surprise by how much venting smthg out helps with mental problems. Like even if Shizuka is broken down to an irreparable state (becoming a murderer), self acknowledging her own issue is the first step to not go further down that path of self destruction.

As for the ending. While rushed but like is still a fitting ending. Like where else to go with the story. You can have Shizuka "end it all" for a bitter sweet end but like that kinda go against one of the messages that the show try to convey?

The time reset while dumb and cheesy(with how Marina and Shizuka have vague memory of Takopi and thus work it out instead of like idk someone explaining to Marina that venting on Shizuka wont change anything) but it still has a message of "shit would be so much better if people just vent things out (Azuma arguing with Junya for the first time) and having relationship help going through hard times (Marina able to get over her mom abuses with Shizuka as someone to just talk to)".

The ending doesnt make anything meaningless, Shizuka is irreparable,Marina is dead and Azuma still has his development so nothing is lost by resetting everything. Takopi got his lesson that there are more than just black and white and the "price" of it is him sacrificing for the sake of Marina/Shizuka happiness

And the comparison with DITF cant be any wrong-er. Like DIFT ending was bad because half of the show leading to the ending was bad,not because just 1 episode made it bad.

If you watch this just for the sake of seeing trauma for the sake of trauma or that you like some deep dark mentally messed up kids, this isnt for you, it have its own message and theme and while the deliver wasnt great,its plenty fine

Oh wow, I didnt know this was the last episode, caught me off guard.
Yeah it was obvious Takopi's camera would be fixed and save the day, and even though it cost Takopi's life it still felt like a copout Deus ex machina.
Well, at least the kids got happy endings, but still, bittersweet with Takopi freaking dead.

idk really, I feel like they were going a good direction but the ending was kinda meh.
it was a fun ride I guess.

The show definitely had a lot of flaws. It relied on shock factor and trying to tear-jerk a lot, but I think that calling it an absolute waste of time isn't fair. The look at how trauma causes hurt kids to bully each was, while not entirely original, was interesting. Especially with Shizuka essentially turning into the villain halfway through.

Also, I liked Takopi personally and his relationship with his mother, but I can see how he can be annoying-pi.

This was one hell of an emotional rollercoaster of an anime. I really didn’t expect to get a happy ending and it seems like there are mixed feelings about it, but I’m good with it. Especially after the constant pain and suffering. One last thing this anime needed was for all of the adults to kill themselves lmao.

People on MAL refuse to actually enjoy watching anime.

Your taste in anime isn't a personality trait.

Take me back to the days before MAL became infested with Twitter's favorite buzzwords.

Sometimes it’s better to just listen to people you care about regarding their problems and let them cry it out instead of trying to look for solutions, especially if it’s not in your power. Great adaption of the manga-it was directed well

While the ending is great, i couldn't just ignore that it was really cheesy how Marina and Shizuka retain slight bits of memory of Takopi and thus become friends

Smthg like Azuma after done with his own problem finally get the courage to do his work as class pres and intervene the Marina bullying Shizuka and explain how bullying Shizuka wont solve Marina issue but finding a healthier way to vent out issue helps, then somehow both become friends later and then they have some recall of Takopi.

While this essentially disregard Takopi involvement with the story, it serves the message that people have to deal with their own issue (alone or from help of others) rather than dumping it on someone else or relying on a mysterious force to come solve evrything. Also while expanding on Azuma development of the previous time (finally getting the courage to just say things out) and being less cheesy in execution

One of my favorite about the story is that it display messed up shit for a reason. Its not shock factor for the sake of one but whenever smthh messed up came up, it always to describe smthg to carry some message of the story

That ending was... pretty bad honestly. With all the show tackled I expected the author to tackle everything with some care, but all it managed to say was "Life sucks innit". But hey, it's the anime community we're talking about so let's just put a sad song, girls crying and you have them calling it a masterpiece.

Anyway, can't say the show didn't entertain me on the other episodes, though using shock factor at ep 1. Overall, 6/10 is fair for it I guess

Explaining the Concept/Ending of the Anime Since I saw a lot of people criticizing the ending, so I decided to make this post.

The anime is about Takopi, an alien from a magical planet full of happiness where there’s no death. He came to Earth with absolutely no understanding of humans, their thoughts, or way of life… and he couldn’t understand them at all. The entire anime is basically people suffering while Takopi just watches, completely clueless about why they’re in pain.

All he has is a few magical gadgets… and even though they’re *“magical,”* they’re useless. Most of them feel like something out of Doraemon—cool on the surface but completely ineffective in actually helping the characters or solving their problems.

From the beginning, the anime makes it clear that *magic isn’t the solution.* Takopi has magic, time travel, and all kinds of seemingly amazing things, but he still couldn’t make a difference. He couldn’t change anyone’s heart. The sad stayed sad, and the angry stayed angry.

In fact, the anime shows us that Takopi’s involvement mostly made things *worse.* When he gave Shizuka the infinite rope at the beginning, she used it to hang herself. If he hadn’t given her that rope, she might’ve survived—because in the timeline where Takopi never met Shizuka, she tried to kill herself and failed.

And again, when he gave Azuma the storage gadget, Azuma used it to preserve Marina’s corpse. If he hadn’t done that, they might’ve gotten away with it because the body would’ve decomposed and become unidentifiable.

**Magic is not the answer. Takopi is not the answer.** And he admits this himself in the final episode, when he hugs Shizuka and talks to her. He tells her he’s sorry that he didn’t try to understand what she was saying or empathize with her, and that he acted based on his own views without considering her feelings. But of course, it’s already too late. He finally begins to understand human emotions *after everything is already over.*

This is especially clear when Azuma literally tells him, *“People can be good and bad at the same time.”*
**That** is what the entire anime is about.

Yes, some people are purely evil, but most people aren’t evil by choice—they suffered in life, and that pain made them hurt others. Every character in the anime is a victim—not just the kids.

People say, *“The parents are the villains. The parents’ neglect is the reason everything went wrong.”*
And while that’s true, there’s a detail many forget: **the parents are suffering too.**

Shizuka’s mother Isn't a whore out of love to the job.. she obviously has to do it and has no other option due to her circumstances(the father leaving them).
Shizuka’s father didn’t leave the family for no reason. There must’ve been something that pushed him to start a new family. And we saw him living happily with that new family—which means he’s not a purely evil person. If he were, he wouldn’t be capable of creating a loving family, right?

The same goes for Marina’s parents.

We watched the story through the kids’ eyes, so we sympathized with them. But if we’d followed the story through the eyes of the parents, we probably would’ve sympathized with them too.

The core idea of the anime is that **everyone is suffering.**
Everyone has problems in their life.
No one lives a perfect life without issues.
And most people express their pain in different ways.

Some, like Azuma, isolate themselves and focus on school.
Some, like Marina, lash out and hurt others.
And some, like Shizuka, try to distract themselves with outside attachments—like how she loves her dog and sees it as the most important thing in her life.

The ending is NOT a *happy* ending like some people might've thought… but it’s not a *tragic* one either.
The characters didn’t go on to live amazing lives after Takopi’s sacrifice—and we see proof of that in the final scene of the anime.

Shizuka and Marina became friends—which is a good thing—but the suffering hasn’t ended.
Marina’s face still has the scar from the glass her mother threw at her.
That shows that Takopi’s sacrifice didn’t magically fix everything or give everyone a “happily ever after.”

**Life just goes on.**
With the good and the bad.

And that’s it! Sorry this got long 😂
But I just wanted to express what I understood from the anime, especially since a lot of people seemed to misunderstand the ending.
Congrats if you made it to the end.
I hope this changed your perspective if you thought it was a bad ending 😁

A tad convenient but incredibly well meaning ending that provides the right level of catharsis to make it so this show actually has a real endgoal other than depicting suffering for the sake of it. I just wish it had a bit more time to show it but I really love that the solution to all of this wasnt some fix for what made all their lives awful, their parents and all the trauma around them are still present cause thats something about life that you really just have to deal with that some alien octopus isnt gonna show up and fix, but having people there with you and being open to them is a way, but not a universal solution, to alleviate some of that so you can persevere through the worst of it. People probably dont want to hear that but that really is the way things are and I'll take something kind of sloppy with a well meaning message like that over some cynical one.

I feel a very light 9 on this one, the production was absolutly unreal and should be used as a prime example of the potential of possibilities of animation as a medium, the core story behind it and its winding twists are a memorable one on its own but this passionate staff elevated with flying colors into something special.

Faithful adaptation to the end. Loved it! 10/10 from me.

Bittersweet end like in manga. Families of girls remained F-d, but Chappy survives, bullying stops and Marina and Shizuka are friends. Best realistically possible ending.

Damn took me long enough but I finally cried watching this anime. And despite being a manga reader all the things hit me just as if, if not harder than they did when I first read the story.

I will say, that extra part before the opening and all the scenes of Takopi and Shizuka hanging out one last time were excellent additions.

What a great adaptation this was. The original story itself isn't without flaws but goddamn did it not make me emotional enough to overlook those problems.

It's very easily a 9/10 but c'mon at this point it would be an absolute disservice to not rate it 10/10.

Now we just patiently wait for Ichinose Family's Deadly Sins to get adapted by this same studio and I will die a happy man.

I started watching this show due to an instagram reel which stated you shouldn't watch this anime if you are light hearted.

The first episode hits you with that suicidal part which is further followed by Marin's violence over Takopi, Marin's death and ofc how Azuma loses himself in this whole mess due to the situation. The suffering continued for all these kids until they finally broke free out of this chain by either ending their lives or just giving up on any kind of hope.

But more than anything or anyone, the one who suffered most was Takopi at the end. Poor creature kept trying his level best to do something to fix these broken souls. People are overlooking the fact that Takopi had no idea of "Suffering" or "Sadness" because of the environment in which he used to live. He was a curious creature who learnt about all pessimestic emotions only after going through these timelines and understood that his common sense wasn't applicable to these people with broken souls.

This anime delievered such an emotional punch in 6 episodes what many couldn't in even 24 episodes. The people who are complaining that the adult interaction was incomplete in this show should realise that it was one of the Discussion point of this show, if these adults ever thought about their children with sanity then these kids might not have turned out in a way they did in this series . So just shut your noisy arses up & bring relevant point.

Takopi went from an innocent alien from a happy planet to become someone who could feel the pain and loneliness of an another person. He even sacrificed himself and still people think he didn't get enough character development.

When it comes to ending, I am still a little in disbelief that how this timeline changed. I could understand the reason behind why Takopi drawing was there but common was that enough to change the mindset of that bully?
Still a little confused like how Takopi was successful to deliever this message of "A little communication can solve all the problems" when he technically existed no longer? But I will assume that somehow part of their heart still remembered Takopi's presence and even after timeline reverted back due to the gadget, their hearts carried some of his charm in them and sometimes even a spark is enough to bring a massive change. Takopi is among probably most tragical pet character in the anime history who sacrificed himself for the sake of happiness of these people.

The adaptation is a masterpiece, the animation was on point, the direction was beautiful and accurate. Of course the choice of visuals and music was also perfect.

A very solid 10/10 for me. I would say it might even get entry in my Top 15 Anime Shows of all time if not Top 10 at the very least. I hope more people would see this masterpiece in future and get to know how brilliant can be a short story if it is done well.

Dont want to hate the anime , i think its a decent good show to convey these emotional rollercoasters,
gave it a watch since everyone around me glazing like its the second coming of jesus christ, so that already set my expectation high.

Gave it a watch , quite a bit of unexplained stuffs and i think those parents are poorly written tbh
takopi was unbearable to watch in the first 3-4 episodes until he was developing towards the end.
Ueda Reina killed it in the final scene, Kohara Konomi taking a new role asides from her usual clumsy girls characters was hella refreshing, yeah i love my seiyuus to death
visually stunning at times, storyboards and pacing were all pretty good nothing feel odd

overall 7.5/10 , probably the score is over-inflated because of zoomers
it is what it is

So... Takopi had some secret power that he could use to brainwash everyone? Not sure what to think of the ending, it was a 10/10 show but man idk.

It's not brainwashing, he just went back in time and left memory traces of the alternate timelines and in the end this helped the two accept each other, their life is one 💩, but they now have each other, which made sense since they are very similar.

wasn't the biggest fan of takopi the whole of the show, but i still found it intriguing to watch. i do not like this ending though.

in the most cynical way possible, it makes the whole show feel like a waste of time. it feels as though the purpose of the show was to build up empathy for these characters to reward the viewers at the end to make them cry. did the characters grow? you can argue what you want, but to me, they did not. no one did. it was headed down the same track as it was in episode 1 where shizuka got bullied. all that changed was the takopi brainwashing with emotions from past experiences.

in a story that speaks about the environment preceding intrinsic values, and how everyone has their own issues that shape them into who they want to be, it spends more time showing off those issues than resolving them, or even addressing them. as the end credits finish rolling, shizuka's mom is still working the night life, and marina's mom is still abusive. those people haven't changed, but the children have. to me, i would have loved to see how these children grapple with each other's differing situations and accepting them and evolving than takopi's "magic" make them both instantly become friends with each other. it might not have been what the author intended to write about, which is fine, but i think with the set-up that has been built upon for the last 5 episodes, if the series had been longer it could've explored that.

A great and bittersweet end, probably my anime of the year for 2025!
So glad this great manga finally got an anime adaptation that did it beyond justice, perfect!

This anime is really rocking from ep 1 to 5. Then force to make a happy ending landing at ep6.

I don’t always like bad ending. But there’s sometimes a dark and sad ending is more a perfect tone for an anime this dark and twisted.

This ending failed to convey any real meaning for me. All the kids problem never solved, all the sins unaccounted for, all consequences untouched. Just sacrifice Takopi and everyone can move on with your life.

And for the two girls to be friends at the end….. that’s pushing the limit.

Great direction, great animation, great voice acting, and also it's great that the fact that the story was brutal...

...But come on, outside of that the story left quite some unresolved plot points, as I have many questions.

Like why did the kids remember stuff on the last loop?

Why didn't Takopii use the big clock more? He had the power to get stronger and stronger by each time. Higurashi did it, Madoka did it, here... nope. Yeah the happy camera did break but he still had the chance to. Maybe he did forget? I am not sure.

What happened to the ribbon? If THIS was the ending, he could have solved everything from the very beginning or going back to reconcile everyone. Heck he had invisibility powers and the ribbon could stretch indefinitely, he could have done this in any moment and saved a lot of suffering to everyone.

The story had potential if it developed these points more. Takopii could idk... bring more of their people to at least solve the relations of the other characters. The story was interesting at first, I really got engaged with the "Oh they did get rid ot the time loop mechanic" only to use it again in the end.

7/10

On another note this studio has potential to adapt some other stuff.

This ending really did open the waterworks but can’t help but find hilarious that good timeline Marina went from wanting to kill Shizuka to bonding over what for them is essentially just an octopus scrabble, it’s clear they don’t remember what it meant but somehow know it’s precious to them.

also in the postcredit scene seems Takopi couldn’t help to avoid Marina’s mom being a bitch as she kept her scar but watching them having a friendly-ish relationship of being playful while also bitchy with each other was the most beautiful pay off.

Modern gem right here, that I hope it wont be forgotten so easily by its short runtime.

The kids remembered stuff because Takopi infused his "magic" into the camera, which gave it that effect.

Takopi couldn't use the time clock because A) he had no way to go back home, and B) he was banished from the planet. Even if he did go back, I doubt "Mama" would let him use it after last time.

The ribbon had nothing to do with anything about the ending; it's only use plot wise was in episode one for Shizuka to use on herself.
