r/TakopisOriginalSin

As well as marking the post as a spoiler, I'm also marking the ending points I made as a spoiler, just as a final warning.

So I started watching episode 1 while I was at work, and as of 2:16 AM EST, after nonstop watching from episodes 2-6, I finished Takopi's original sin, and what a watch it was.

I originally was watching it with a bunch of coworkers, but as we reached the point of Shizuka hanging herself, everyone split off but me. I kept watching, and as the episodes kept playing and my attention became increasingly more focused, I felt a wide array of emotions, shock, sadness, genuine sympathy for every character (save for the parents, with very very minimal sympathy for Marina's mom.)

Now the reason why I mentioned this, is because there's only been one anime that's made me feel extreme emotions, and that was cyberpunk edgerunners, and that was solely at the end. Yet this anime, it made me feel something throughout the entire show, my emotions went up and down and up and down.

FINAL WARNING, BELOW CONTAINS SPOILERS FOR THE ENDING.

>!And the ending, whereas I was a little confused when it happened, a couple minutes of reflection helped me understand what happened, and how bittersweet it was. I'm genuinely happy to see that Azuma has a proper attachment with Junya, rather than his emotional dependency and him being hellbent on "saving" Shizuka, which in my opinion, definitely led to his downfall in the murder timeline. !<

>!I'm also happy to see that Marina and Shizuka grew to be friends and learned to lean on each other, thanks to Takopi's sacrifice. Now, I don't usually cry, as I mentioned above, yet hearing Shizuka and Marina both talk about Takopi, despite him not existing in this version of the 2016 timeline, seeing them cry together, watching them in 2022 talking in a store and seeing the rabbit from Saturn pen, them both quoting Takopi, genuinely made me fucking bawl.!<

I genuinely needed to get this out because for a show to hit me hard like this, it's genuinely impressive to me. Now I probably won't be able to continue my watchlist anymore lol. Feel free to ask me any questions about my thoughts or opinions on the show too, there's no guarantee I'll respond right when you comment though lol

I started watching Takopi ep 1 today and it feels so disturbing and uneasy. Everytime I see it, whether through reactions or anything, I cry but I can't fully sob. I am feeling so depressed and disturbed rn. I hope this anime ends well.

I usually watch feel good and not so traumatic animes so it's new for me and I'm having a hard time. That's why I'm reaching out

Context: I've watched Takopi no Genzai, and it touches on some very serious themes as we all know.

That's not really my issue here though. My issue is with this site: (takopi . store)

At first glance it looks like any other merch shop, but some of the designs are... concerning, to say the least.

A few examples: (as reddit decided to eliminate the post, I will just mention the articles and you can search it in the site) a backpack with Shizuka, shirt with Shizuka and Sayori from Doki Doki, and articles with Marina mentioned as "Waifu"

And theres even an poster with that scene...

This doesn't look like an officially licensed store, and I really doubt the author would approve of merch like this existing.

Has anyone reported this already? Worth flagging to the mods or looking into who's running this?

This anime has such a unique style and it’s really stands out. I would enjoy watching a full fledged series with this style, I just can’t think of one.

i'll try to keep this brief, a bit ago i wanted to draw a little fan-comic but then i realized "i dont know what to call anyone but the main three" and so i started looking into the anime a bit deeper and saw that the names were in the back wall on the corner of each paper, and so i managed to make out a couple of the names:

But i ended up with two completely different problems: 1 all of the scenes that showed them were either angled to show the 6 i already have or wide shots that are too blurry to make out AND on top of that i had no idea who's name belonged to whom, so then i had to resort to the cubicles: (red = shown, blue = inferred)

but even this didnt really help me out, now i know that the kid with the purple bag's surname starts with sasa but other than rhat the only other recognizeable backpack was Marina-Chan's, since many people have red and black backpacks, so, i need your help.

if anyone has the blue-ray higher quality version of the anime please contact me, theres labels that are to blurry to make out normally, a couple examples:

the name of 2 of the bullies are literally visible on the intro but they are too blurry due to video compresion, if someone has any way to make them out or anything that could help please let me know.

Like just some slice of life or something, how they have talks and help each other cope, some daily situations whatever. I just love this show, it grew on me so quick.
