| Okay, so I'm a grown up man so I should be expected to know that Marina is also just another victim in the cycle of abuse who deserves a new loving family without a cheating bitch of a father and a psychopathic control freak of a mother, but I'm just saying, I don't complain that she is dead and I don't feel sorry for her. Rest in peperoni Marina, you won't be missed. |

Welp, Marina died. It's kinda uncomfortable people are happy she's dead, and I can understand why at least, but is no one gonna talk about her piece of sh*t dad and Shizkuka's mom? In my opinion those two are the real villains of the story.
Good episode once again. I'm excited to see where we go from here. 5/5

| @Eternal_m00n Let's not forget about Marina's mom, who it looks like decides to take her marriage frustrations out on her child instead of dealing with her husband. |
I hope she felt that before dying  |
| Another perfectly done episode, and one of the darkest twists I've ever seen in an anime No more going back now! |
| Man, screw the adults from this anime. They are the real villains here, not Marina. As much as I want to hate her for being a cruel bully, she's also a victim in this situation. |
| Well that's certainly a way to do a title drop. |
| Frustrating to watch with the alien being that retarded. |
Really interesting. Takopii is extremely naive, he's a pure child and maybe even an idealization of childhood's innocence. He barely understands homicide, but he knows that it's terribly wrong. And yet, out of all things he did, it's exactly killing Marina that made Shizuka the most happy. Not making up with her and talking it out, straight-up murdering her! I wonder how will that impact the way he sees the world. "Original Sin" kinda implies he committed more after that... The contrast between Marina's dead body and Shizuka's overwhelming joy. Takopii's horror when he realizes the camera doesn't work anymore, and the realization that he made Shizuka really happy, all the while Vivaldi's Spring plays in the background. It's all so haunting. I really can't wait to see where the plot will go. The time machine's broken, so from now on, whatever happens, happens. btw y'all celebrating a child's death lack in human empathy |
 "Tarapia tapioco! Brematurata la supercazzola, o scherziamo?" "see you in the summer somewhere." |
There is no convincing me this little shit is not a Kuma Arc celestial dragon, forget about Gabi, Mami is basically a saint now, and depending on the day I might be willing to forgive Rachel over this lil menace. Plotting to this degree at this age is nasty work, now we got dogs catching strays. |

| Lil bro busted her skull with a camera. That camera is built differently bro. I am surprised the camera broke, tho. I knew Takopi would kill the bully girl eventually because she can't be reasoned with, but I didn't expect the time travel power just to go away. Now they will have to deal with the aftermath of her death. I wonder how this will go, tho. Not only would this be a self-defense case, but it would also involve the two kids. Normally, it's the teachers and principal who would answer to authorities for allowing such behavior to happen under their eyes, but the murder also happened outside of the school boundary. |

| @Eternal_m00n I thought she might be more sympathetic after seeing the ending of the first episode, but the way she's hellbent on tormenting Shizuka this episode is just ridiculous. That girl is way too vile and evil for any sympathy. |

The ending had me laughing at least lol, idk if that is just me being heartless or not. Wasn't really into most of the episode's stuff but that at least was different and with only 4 episodes to go given how short the series is, a lot can still happen and change in an instant.
| @animejas Nah, the anime is intentionally narrated in such a way. It's to showcase how Alien Takopi's view is of human society and issues. |
| This was SUPERB adaptation, just wow! Anyways, Marina is dead and time-camera is broken. Basically, no turning back, and Marina stays dead. Welcome to the messed up hell-hole called the Earth Takopi :) |
| Holy fuck that was even more disturbing than the first. I can't see there not being a do-over eventually, cause I don't think Marina is truly dead in the story yet. Takopi is gonna get the wrong idea, and it scares me. 5/5 |

I don't have a choice but to stick around until the end now.
So far, I doubt this will end with anything but a tragedy.

| Well, that goes to show what a twisted society we're all in. Parents negleting their duties, teachers turning a blind eye, kids left alone facing fears, abuse and pain too big for their mind, so they end up becoming victims with no help and wrong doers beyond reach of justice. No wonder death appears as a solution for poor Shizuka and most of us. Great episode anyway, I just can't wait to see what's gonna happen next now that time travel is out of Takopi options. I hope Chappy is alive though |

| The title card drop at the very end of the episode with the frame of the body, actual chills. |
Reply to SVJRoadster
No going back for Takopi. What a way for Marina to go out though, but I only see things getting worse for the both of them. Doubt that smile will last very long
| @SVJRoadster He will probably start doing a lot of horrible things to keep her safe. |
| This anime is a difficult watch, but in the best way. It's an incredible depiction of the cruel cycle of abuse, with Marina taking out her anger from a miserable home life on someone she sees as responsible. Takopi finally made Shizuka smile, though definitely not how he intended to. I wonder what effect this will have on his mental state, maybe he'll start doing more bad things to try and help her. P.S. Random aside, but Chappy kinda reminded me of Danny in JoJo. Except this was much more depressing... |
DAMN, WHAT A EPISODE, I ONLY HAVE ONE THING TO SAY |
| Sport Club Corinthians Paulist is the biggest football team in the world. 51 is cachaça |
| YOOOOO WHAT!?! The octopus alien is strong af!!!? BUT ALSO WTF!?!?!?!? 🤯 Here I thought Takopi's original sin was letting Shizuka die and that this anime was about slowly fixing everything through time travel (like in Re:Zero). But turns out Marina's death is a canon event now!? Did not see that coming at all. But if there's no way to reverse that, then I don't think this anime is heading for a happy end at all. Shizuka or her mom will probably be blamed for the murder and things are just gonna keep getting worse from now on. ☹️ I did feel a little bad at the end of the first episode for Marina, cuz of how her mom treated her. Clearly the adults are at fault here for either not caring about the children (both the teachers and Shizuka's mom) or for lashing out at them (Marina's mom). While that explains why Marina treats Shizuka the way she does, it doesn't make it any less wrong. Even if death was maybe a bit much, Marina definitely deserved some sort of serious consequence for all she had done to Shizuka. In a way, she had it coming. Let this be a lesson to everyone out there. Don't bully people. Cuz if they snap, you will be the first to go down. Instead, treat other people the way you want to be treated. That way the world will be a better place! |

| @SeiyaTempest couldnt agree more with how well the cycle of abuse is depicted here. |
