Huh?

The ending is really satisfying :)

>>281369864
Is there an explanation for how they all seemed to remember little bits of takopi from the different timelines?

Shizuka only went insane because of Marina.

Life lesson of this anime :
Dont ever have Kids and Family. Life alone and be Free :-)

I can probably see why Shizuka might have memories of Takopi, but I can't figure out why an older Marina would also have it.

>>281370318
Takopi visited Marina first

>>281370318
I meant a younger Marina who only met Takopi when she was older

Why did Marina say this line on the last episode when this day was supposed to be the first time Shizuka ever wore the chameleon plant to school?

>>281369679
cursed art

>>281369864
True

Have you finished the episode?

>Do ever have Kids and Family.
Fixed.

>>281370783
Enjoy being a schizo like Marina's mom

>>281370318
Why not? It's magic. From Takopi's perspective, those memories with the older Marina came first chronologically.

Perfection

>>281370802
>Enjoy being a schizo like Marina's mom
It's inveitable both Shizuka and Marina will raise a family together despite both being psychos. I can see them have a couple of kids and have some couple of domestic violence through their lives.

Happian Magick Powers: Takopi flavored memories

If Takopi wanted to make Shizuka happy why didn't he just use his tentacles?

if Marina had memories of the future where she met Takopi, why didn't she use this future knowledge to avoid getting stabbed in the face?

>>281373494
She doesn't have her full memory, she just faintly remembers something about Takopii

>>281373494
>if Marina had memories of the future where she met Takopi
She only has like a dejavu like memory. It's not a super clear memory. Just enough to push her in a good direction.

The memories she has is also just the memories where takopi was present in.
Takopi only heard about marina getting glassed when she was a kid, not the exact date and location

>>281366625 (OP)
>Takopi's original sin is that he developed the desire to murder someone after witnessing the depths of human depravity and learning about evil
>This gets him banished from Happy Planet, a clear allusion to Adam and Eve getting banished from the Garden of Eden after eating the fruit to the tree of knowledge of good and evil

If they convert this into a movie it could win an Oscar

>>281374101
not with that ending

>>281374122
The ending's amazing

>>281374261
It's not really.
It's *okay* though. Stories with time travel half to walk a razor's edge where on one side they go in too much detail and create too many plot holes because it fundamentally doesn't make sense most of the time, and on the other they are too vague and the rules just manifest themselves at the convenience of the plot and as such it ends up also not making sense.
Takopi ends up a little on the latter side of that. You can get through vague rules if you can out-vibe the issue which it almost does but not quite there. A tiny bit more setup of memories crossing timelines dotted throughout the series would have gone a long way, and episode 6 probably should have been another 45 minute episode.
I still really liked it, but there are things I'd change. I'm only being fussy because it's good anyway.

>>281370889
>Takpoii manga sequel shows Shizuku and Marina marriage life together.
Fund it.

>>281374261
The ending is not one, but 3 Deus Ex Machina in succession.

I watched this yesterday, it's good until the "future Marina" plot twist, then it goes to the shitter. I ended the series thinking that maybe they went out of budget and had to wrap up quickly (and that's also the reason it's 6 episodes instead of the usual 12) only to learn that it's a manga.

So no excuses, this is very badly written

>Yeah, let's be friends with your bully over a fucking octopus doodle!

There's no natural evolution and conclusion to the conflict between Marina and Shizuka. They could've solved the problem on their own terms by realizing they have things in common or something, but no.

Also, reminder that in her "untouched" timeline, Marina drives Shizuka to suicide too (only that she fails because the rope breaks).

There is absolutely nothing to this anime. It is completely devoid of a message or intention ("hurr people can be good and bad" is not a message), it's just misery porn for the sake of being edgy and "groundbreaking"

>>281375597
I agree, but I do like the future marina twist in theory, it just doesn't come together at the end. They really needed more of a concrete resolution of Shizuku/Marina. The bad stuff Shizuku did didn't actually happen in the timeline we end up in - the bad stuff Marina did WAS in our timeline.

It's a shame that /a/ died in 2016 and all who is left are /v/ squatters who think they belong here, because the old /a/ would have been the only viable place to discuss this fascinating work of art that is just too Japan for normen to appreciate, but now it's no different from anywhere else

His crime was not taking lewd selfies while he was transformed into Marina and my wife Shizuka

Why the fuck would you want lewd photos taken of your wife?

>>281375911
Shizuka never did anything bad in any timeline until Takopi kills Marina. Then she goes full psycho and starts manipulating Azuma (the boy) and wanting to kill everyone until she gets her dog.

So in both timelines, Shizuka is a bullying victim because of her literal whore of a mother has Marina's father as a client, and Marina's mother abuses and sets her daughter to bully Shizuka to get her revenge.

In the timeline Marina meets Takopi, she also bullied Shizuka to the point of making her attempt suicide. But because she didn't have Takopi's ribbon, the rope broke and she didn't die. Then she left the town, and returned 6 years later to go to highschool. In this time, Azuma's still abused by his mother and has a pretty shitty life, and he develops a crush on Shizuka because he has some kind of Oedipus complex and Shizuka reminds him of his mother.

In the timeline(s) Shizuka meets Takopi she's already the victim of bullying for the same reason. In one loop she kills herself because she has Takopi's ribbon, but this goes exactly as it went in the original Marina timeline, except she dies.

So the bad Marina's bad stuff was in both main timelines, Shizuka's bad stuff was only in ONE and because of Takopi's extreme fuckup and after over 9000 loops.

Also, how the fuck does Takopi come back from Tokyo to Hokkaido when he's hit by Shizuka under that bridge? Why does Marina have memories of him if she met him when she was 15 in another timeline? Why does Azuma have friends now just because he fought with his brother in the timeline where Takopi doesn't exist (which would be the same as the Marina timeline because Takopi never had the oportunity to tell him yo fight with his brother because, well, he doesn't fucking exist)

In a story with time travel you will always have some plot holes or paradoxes at best, but this one was very lazily resolved.

The girls even continue living their shitty lives, with Marina's mother still stiring shit up and cutting faces

How long did Marina bully Shizuka anyway? Shizuka still called her a "friend" when Takopi asked after she got beaten up

>>281377137
Shizuka is just saying 'friend' to not have to explain the situation. They were never friends.

>>281377181
She could've said classmate but didn't

>>281374101
It wasn't THAT bad.

>>281377137
Long enough Shizuka was a couple days away from commiting sudoku when she met Takopi

>>281377635
But Shizuka says that everything is fine as long as she has Chappy, so if Marina never kills Chappy, Shizuka can probably endure the bullying forever

>>281377314
>It wasn't THAT bad.
Anon it literally got 9s and 10s everywhere

>>281372184
but it's not edgy miseryslop?

>>281366625 (OP)
What was his sin, using the time clock?

>>281378782
Being an insensitive retard

>>281377734
My theory is that Marina only provoked Chappy into attacking her because Takopi intervened and kept helping Shizuka, which made Marina mental. My theory is that, if Takopi hadn't come to earth, the mother would have put Chappy down anyway because the neighbours were complaining about the barking. (Shizuka mentions she couldn't stop Chappy barking in the last episode.) But the suicide attempt (without Takopi to lend the ribbon) would have failed. Still Shizuka would have been rescued from neglect and everyone would blame Marina's bullying for the suicide attempt and Marina would become a pariah in middle and high school.

>>281378654
Close enough

>>281378782
punching his mom

>>281370657
Fuck off

>Azuma realized he was rich
>Shizuka realized she can seduce girls too
>Marina realized she kind of enjoy the beatings
Is this a happy ending?

I realized u guys were all fags

>>281380474
I realized that that was kind of rude.

>>281375597
It's "Befriend your bully!" that gets me. fucking bug people always preach this while I was a confident feeling away from second degree murder. There's no way people actually think like this, right?

Am I a retard for getting emotionally invested and hurt by this character? I find it genuinely heartbreaking that he left his mother without explaining his plans or saying goodbye, leaving her confused as to where her baby was going. He was treated like trash by the majority of people and most of his genuine and kind gestures were never reciprocated. I just want to hug him and give him a better life, or better yet, bring him back to his mom. Am I retarded?

>>281376017
The fuck are you on about, this is the most normalfag and mainstream anime since Attack on Titan.

>>281380702
No. But your reaction is supposed to be that you would murder the whole town if it would make shizuka happy.

>>281375597
>There's no natural evolution and conclusion to the conflict between Marina and Shizuka. They could've solved the problem on their own terms by realizing they have things in common or something, but no.
Isn't this literally the point of takopi tho? They would've *never* reach the point where they realize they have things in common, if it wasn't for takopi. The doodle, their time with takopi, that was the one thing that lowered their guards and let them solve their issues on their own

Does anybody else find it a little odd that
>children suffering
is basically it's own subgenre in Anime?

>>281378782
wanting to kill shizuka

>>281381777
Everyone likes watching children suffering, why wouldn't it.

>>281380702
anon it would be retarded if you DIDN'T feel that way

>>281380386
>Shizuka is the dom while Marina is the submissive slave one.
Marina is gonna have so many welts around her body it's not even funny.

>>281381798
>using the power of time travel to go back and kill the poor girl your girl is severely bullying
I guess that is actually pretty bad.

>>281381777
Most adults, except (You), are programmed to easily feel pity and empathy for children.

>>281370657
Based

>>281380683
I'd befriend my bully if she was as hot as Marina

>>281382066
I feel pity and empathy for them. I just find it odd.

>>281382883
The point is that it is much easier to make you feel strong emotions if the victim is a person you can easily sympathize with, there is no human being easier to feel sorry for than a child. So if you want to go viral it's a good option to write something like this

>>281383105
so anime is just more likely to be low effort.

>>281380702
TACO

6 episodes was way to short to properly enjoy all the possible scenes of Marina suffering

>>281380702
Not at all, tbhon I was hoping he'd get a good ending really, I felt bad with the abuse scenes really but if Takopi got hurt it just felt the worst
Could also be I just like cute things

Why did the author's other manga suck so much?

>>281370821
Can't beat the double eyelids

>>281386357
He didn't understand what made Takopi and Omori popular, so he put things from both of them at random + weekly Plot twist and prayed that it would work

>>281366625 (OP)
Takopi violated Article 84 of Japan's Self-Defense Forces Act by unlawfully entering Japanese airspace.

>>281376388
>he develops a crush on Shizuka because he has some kind of Oedipus complex
Azuma had an eye on her in elementary school, was repeatedly offering his help to her when she was bullied etc. We don't know what extent he helped in the Marina's Takopi timeline, but Shizuka moved out of town, moved back, teen boy remembers childhood girl he was vaguely involved with and who has now become more beautiful, of course he falls in love.

>how the fuck does Takopi come back from Tokyo to Hokkaido when he's hit by Shizuka under that bridge?
He can fly across galaxies? Though the way he was shown struggle to move around earlier when worrying about Shizuka undermines it a bit. But that had a narrative reason to walk, replicating the trope of going to check on someone. Maybe he saves his magic travel only to when absolutely needed? This is a very small detail

>Why does Azuma have friends now just because he fought with his brother in the timeline where Takopi doesn't exist
vague memories from past lives/timelines is an established time travel trope, so the lesson he swore by to have more fights transferred to that timeline. Also, having one crucial fight can change a lot due to butterfly effect. Just like how at the ending he decides to walk away from Shizuka because of the other guys fawning over his PS4 so hard.

Also explains Marina and Shizuka as kids connecting over something stupid and insignificant turning in to a friendship, the message of that is that people (especially kids) are closer to each other than you think. Though this is the criticism I agree the most with, it's still too abrupt and rushed to turn a (seemingly) long-term bullying into friendship. Though also, they only show that moment of connection and not the entire development, she might still on-off bully and be friends with her. This actually happened with my bullying in elementary school.

>>281380702
I didn't give a shit about the family drama on Happy Planet, but I did feel for his reactions to events on Earth, how he learned the part where he cried as Marina's clone about killing her, and the part where he tried to plead to Shizuka and she didn't care, and and how he was being used like a punching bag and gadget dispenser most of the time.

>>281383189
Yes, more likely. Though I don't think Takopi was low effort at all, it had 3 very different type of kids and complex family drama. If it was low effort it would be just 1 little girl being abused 6 episodes straight.

Though there are tons of low effort anime genres like having bunch of high school girls with huge boobs (or flat if you prefer that), and we still enjoy and appreciate them. To avoid this accusation you'll have to make a story about living rocks on mars and explore the culture of martian rocks or something. But that's absurd. Human themes appeal to human emotions.

Marina is the only good thing about this series
