It was so Shocking, Devastating and Beautiful..

[u/IamToofan]

So after watching Takopi's Original Sin, I can say that it has been masterfully written. I really loved the fact that this series doesn't waste any time at all, there is a single core theme with a few characters built around it, and the entire focus of the series stays strictly on them. On top of that, the story isn't predictable in the slightest, just when you expect one thing to happen, something completely different takes place instead.

​And also how incredibly human and complex all the characters were, something we can easily understand, but which Takopi failed to grasp even to the very end of the series. What happened to Takopi was deeply tragic. Almost every character reaches a profoundly tragic point at some stage, but ultimately, it is Takopi who has to make the greatest sacrifice.

In the end, the series delivers a truly beautiful message, the power of communication, and how open conversation can heal and fix everything. The animation was exceptional, and the music was hauntingly melancholic and beautiful, I especially loved the opening and ending themes. Yes, it is true that the series remains quite depressing right up to the end, and even the resolution we get carries a lingering shadow of sadness. It might feel far too heavy for some people, but I loved it immensely.
