The basic sin of takopi Disgusting is cute and untreatedly rapid. A moment you are amazed on a squad octopus cheese, which speaks in the baby talk, and before you know it, you are taking a very difficult nap to ignore the black mirror, suddenly you know how absolutely you are exposed. This year’s breakout hit anime, directed by Shinya IINO and based on the Manga of Taisan 5, follows an adorable foreigner who befriends a lonely child and deploys freak gadgets to cure his problems. Aadhaar is enough enough to lubricate you in the indifferent, especially if you have grown up with its clear spiritual predecessors, DoraemonBut whatever hot childhood innocence you can feel is violently out by the end of the first episode.
Six episodes. It takes all this. in that time, Takopi Suicide, child abuse, bullying, neglect of parents, moral injuries, and sheer, burn through nausea to try to do good in this sick, deprived world. It is not long, but it is lacquer. And it comes with a fully trigger warning, although no warning prepares you enough what it really is ready to say.
This plot follows the title pink, safelopod from the Sacrin “Happy Planet”, which is sent to Earth to bring happiness. She meets a quiet, dull girl named Shizuka, who is living only as a living nightmare. He is beaten in school, left at home, and slowly disappears in that hollow place when the children go when the adults around them stop looking at them. Unaware of the nuances of human suffering, efforts to help pakopi have clums and naive. He hugs her addicts. He does Gigls when he cries. He believes in the fundamental goodness of talking out and sharing snacks. That is, until [SPOILERS]
Shizuka kills herself before the first episode is over.
The moment is absolutely petring, and it turns off the actual start of the show. The distraught and nervous pakopi arrives for a gadget that allows him to resume time, expects “it right” at the next attempt, in looping efforts to reduce trauma. This is not a story about it being correct, but is about being wrong in the rapid heartbreaking methods.

Runtime: 22-35 minutes
Story: Happy Alien meets Takopi, Shizuka, a single fourth grader. But as he highlights the pain in his life, so that the true happiness may require more than gadgets.

What is surprising how the series slowly appears. It is devoid of all edge-lord irony or sensational trauma-porn, and is close to tone Fireflies tomb Or A silent voice, It does not let you see anywhere else. Even time travel does not feel gimmick; This is just another form of helplessness, which is born of all the familiar pain of “if only I was …”.
The ino directs with the formidable restraint. Each frame holds a type of clinical peace that forces us to sit with every unspecified thing. And then when we accommodate its frugality, this light and shade fracture with crash, and the feelings growing through the molder expressionists suddenly flourish like a nervous system.

But what makes Takopi One of the best anime in recent memory is its clarity. The characters are well prepared, and as it is deemedly understood. There is no simple here, and no one is easy. Sheer, attempting to try to please someone else when you barely understand what it means more than the tragedy. Takopi It is about what it costs to take care of it, especially when you don’t know how. It is about the boundary of kindness and the absence of innocence. The terrible beauty of seeing someone, even they fail, because trying to try only one thing they know how to do.
If there is any fault TakopiIt is in the chaos of the timeline towards the end. The last two episodes through the six -year result, the fracture interrupt with the past scenes. It is too much to absorb ambition, and the show stumbles slightly to orient us within the confusion of the approach. Nevertheless, the emotional means remains intact.

Did I waste the most Takopi The way it reminded me of the loss that did not know better than anyone. We like to think of cruelty as an alternative, and kindness as a cure, but the series destroys both perceptions. Sometimes people hurt you because they are hurt. Sometimes they try to save you and make it worse. And sometimes, like a pakopi, they just keep showing, nothing but equipped with good intentions and stubborn belief that love, if enough is repeated, can eventually work.
It is foolishly innocent. And this is probably the most human thing that I have ever seen a cartoon alien.
