I usually fancy myself the type to be relatively unfazed by dark and mature content, but there were moments in <\/span>Takopi\u2019s Original Sin<\/span><\/i>\u2019s premiere that still made me blink or inwardly flinch. It\u2019s not simply that the story involves relentless bullying, broken families, and tragic abuse. The episode also delivers tactile and dirty drawings, deliberate animation, and effective direction, which serve as a potent tool for turning the events on screen into a punch to the gut that you can almost feel.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

The premise follows the alien Takopi, who hails from Happy Planet, as he meets the forlorn Shizuka and tries to help her with various special gadgets. As an alien who isn\u2019t all that familiar with life on Earth and has a rather different viewpoint, Takopi isn\u2019t as privy to Shizuka\u2019s circumstances as we are and comes off as naive. However, his persistent desire to make Shizuka happy is perhaps the only source of hope for Shizuka, even if it\u2019s a brutal trial-and-error process that can backfire terribly.<\/span><\/p>\n
