Masterpi-ece. Pi-eak fiction.

I like this episode better than EP5. From what I understand, Takopi's deus ex machina (yes, it is) only happened because he regained his memories. Is it because Shizuka bonked him with a rock back in Tokyo? The power involves sacrificing himself, so it's not normally done, but it's OP (O-Pi?). It fixed the broken time machine camera. It probably required sacrificing himself because Takopi had to transfer his essence across specific points in a timeline, sorta like how ~~O-pi-Wan~~ Obi-Wan became one with the Force. In effect, he's able to give suggestive messages to Azuma, Shizuka, and Marina at various points in space-time. Perhaps, our characters were also given a vague idea of what their alternate timeline counterparts experienced. For me, the ending works, even if it's rather convenient and cheesy.

Shizuka finally breaking down, and also the moment Takopi let go of her to perform his sacrifice... it's... very... sad. 😢. Takopi meditating in the place where he first met Shizuka and the scene by the cherry blossom tree got me, dangit.

Six episodes is the exact length this anime needed. I'm wondering how Death Note would be like if it ended with 25 episodes rather than 37. I think I've already seen it by watching this show. Perhaps Takopi gave me some measure of happiness too, lol.

This show wouldn't work as a movie because the various character arcs would be glossed over if you watch all of this at once in the span of 2+ hours. You need time to digest what you see.

I didn't plan to watch Takopi's Original Sin. Only did so because of unforeseen circumstances. But I'm glad it happened.

Guess what my new #1 overall anime is.

Why do you have to talk like that? It's disgusting.

I also didn't plan on watching. I was warned off: don't do it, you have kids. I'm so glad I did.

My only thought was that Mama is the great old one, and while Takopi surprised her by disobeying, her larger concern was that he was going to lose his memories. I'm wondering if this was him completing his original sentence, causing him to be reborn. More likely, you are right and he did merge with the essence of the universe, making the people he cared about happy, like in the OP-pi.

Done!
