Watching television can be fun, but it sure does take time– time that you likely no longer have in the fast-paced world of today. Instead of laboriously tracking the output of the frighteningly prolific island nation known as Japan, we now provide this exquisitely-curated service to give you the main idea of everything remotely important…

Two days after seeing the final episode, I’m unsure what to make of Takopi’s Original Sin. This is unusual for me, because as you may have noticed, I tend to be rather opinionated where anime is concerned. First, the nuts and bolts. The animation, voice acting, and production in general were all fantastic. I have…

I’m a little late getting to this episode; I wanted to sit on it for a few days and see if I could make more sense of my thoughts. But everything is still a jumble. Shizuka’s trip to Tokyo went almost exactly how I thought it would, except I did not expect the earlier parts…

This was a really well-directed episode; practically every shot was cinematic, and the facial expressions showed a lot of nuance. It was a bit of a retread though– we already knew that Azuma’s mother is terrible and this episode spends a lot of time showing us that she was even worse than we thought. If…

Disclaimer: This show is very messed up. I am going to write about some very sad things here. If you can’t handle reading about bad things happening to kids (which I totally understand), you’ll probably want to give this post (and this show) a skip. Last time: Benevolent alien from outer space accidentally bludgeons a…

Last time, I said I wanted a certain character dead; how’s that for service? For those who aren’t watching this show anymore but want to rubberneck, in this episode we see the specific acts of bullying that led to Shizuka committing suicide in the first episode– before Takopi started reversing time. Marina purposely starts beating…

Today, I decided I was tired of mediocrity. I wanted passion, I wanted real feeling! “What is all this repetitive isekai and harem trash? Don’t they make REAL anime anymore?! Oh, they say that this Takopi show is good, what kind of weird title is ‘Tacopi’ anyway? Whatever, I’ll try it LOL” *watches first episode*…
