I can't stop thinking about Takopi.
I think this means it's the anime of the year.
I cannot seem to find a fault in my reasoning.

Regardless of what you think about the writing, as an anime ADAPTATION this has no competition. Not only was the animation incredibly good, the soundtrack was easily the best of the year and Takopi had the best voice acting performance too.

Literally the only thing that makes Takopii even mildly relevant currently are the yuri shipperwhales.

>>282236205
>Tell me you don't watch modern anime
That's half correct, 2025 was a terrible year for anime until Takopii (well and Mononke, in terms of movies) and I am proud to say that all the seasonal crap I skipped instinctively turned out to be indeed crap. If the manga had good writing, it could easily be almost as good as Made in Abyss.

You don't know what you're talking about lmao
I won't even spoon feed you
Watch more anime

>>282236460
>lmao
I rest my case.
>spoon feed you
There isn't a single "good" anime that you think I don't know about, because all your "good" anime this year are trash.
>Watch more
I watched more than you ever will, land that's not hyperbole, you won't live long enough to watch as much anime as I did over my 30 year long anime watching career (started when I was five).

One of the best things about Takopii is how it brings out all the midwits with Dunning-Kruger and no inner voice.
>it's popular with NORMAL PEOPLE therefore it is bad
Says the same guy who watches shonenslop like Dandadan/Dr. Slop/One Piece/Dung Meshi/Frieren/etc and is impatiently waiting for the Kimetsu no Shitba movie. In before the NPC cherry picks one of those that it happens to dislike, as a mental excuse to deny it all.
>it's stupid MISERY PORN bait [etc]
Says the illiterate animal who cannot differentiate between the work done for the anime adaptation and the fault of the source material. Which is again ironic, because when it argues about its favorite shonenslop, it says the argument, because it is taught to use it; not because it understands it.
There, I already destroyed both of your arguments, which loops back to the start of my post. You have nothing else left, because you cannot come up with anything on your own.

The only reason why you think 2025 was a good year for anime is because you were told to think that. Nobody is gonna remember any of the flavor of the month garbage or corporate slop that you like even 2 years form now/2 years from when the corposlop ends. Takopii might be remembered at least for 5 years (which is huge for a watered down version of other manga) and it is exclusively thanks to the masterful anime adaptation it received.

Lmao, all of those animes are certified bangers that mog this shit, but my top 3 favorites are
1) New Panty & Stocking
2) Food Court
3) Ruri

Watch more anime and learn from anime experts on YouTube

I think Russian women Japanese men might be less intimidated by, because they know they will be obedient as long as they have money (see that harlot from Darker than Black 2).

millennials' little brothers are the most cancer cancer to ever cancer
you don't know shit, you haven't accomplished shit, and those n years of age above the committee-designated cutoff for zoomerdom don't amount to shit. Your claiming your watching Pokemon and Sailor Moon etc dubbed on TV like everyone else as part of your "anime career" only underscores this. Your formative seasonal watching experience was during the 2010s aka the single worst period in anime history. You grinding through "classics" like you were allowed to take the entire bargain bin home has only dulled your taste to the point that you couldn't possibly have anything meaningful to say about anything you watched, let alone judge whether a newer series executed a premise better than an older one, and you've resorted to falling back on oldgoodnewbad prejudice.
Of course I could just be attacking a strawman, so if you're not an oldgoodnewbad after all, then post your top 20 for the year, and respond to the question of whether the 2020s have been a better decade for anime than the 2010s with "yes"

AOTY is clearly CITY despite its flaws, but Takopi handily wins ova/ona of the year. It has no competition.

>>
>>282236017
Takopi triggered both my romantic savior complex as a man as well as my protective instincts as a father. Also some other feelings. It's a very effective emotional experience. You can spin it negatively and say it plays with your heartstrings, but I don't think it does it any further than any romance or horror story. Sad things are a part of life and feelings of sadness too.

So Shizuka had SEX with many many men after she failed to hang herself?

Yep, becoming a whore is her canon event, no matter the timeline.

None of you male losers would care about this anime if you didn't want to have sex with the little girls.

you're male too...

Let's ask some deep hard hitting questions that only real attention paying philosophers would know:

>Does Marina have double eyelids or not? in b4 retards who say "no she doesn't because Shizuka does"[/sPoiler]
>>
>>282236397
It quite literally doesn't
>>
>>282242532
the short line above her eyelashes says no

I think the series depicts double eyelids with those lines there. Shizuka, Azuma's mother and Junya have them, Marina and Azuma don’t
>>
>Marina's biological father's seed was strong enough to get blonde hair through her Asian genes, but not double eyelids
so sad
>>
>>282243238
does this apply to other anime?

Marina from the original timeline had the hardest life.

Azuma suffered the most... in terms of being badly written. Sounds like some self-insert mixed with out of date tropes. Tiger parenting in Japan is basically nonexistent past the 2000s. He had everything provided and still we're supposed to think he too is a victimized victim.
>>
>>282236062
The yuri shipping is supremely fake and gay. I optimistically believe it's not women doing it but men.
>>
Did the black hair girl get FUCKED by older men for money? Like in the last ep she tells the octopus something like "what was I supposed to do when a virile older man came and asked if my mom's home and I was all alone"? Or was it just rape without money?
>>
Does anyone have the drawing where Marina and Shizuka are at a family res and some guy saying something stinks gives Shizuka Vietnam flashbacks? It was really cute to see Shizuka's childhood insecurities haunting her even as a JK
>>
why is she just kidding? does she become like Joker?
>>
Why didn't Azuma just do it Takopi? Pic related.

You can't seriously believe this.
>>
>>282244048
Problem solved for now but Marina is relentless. You need to figure out a way to deal with her because you can't just keep the dog invisible for months.
>>
>>282243846
>Did the black hair girl get FUCKED by older men for money?
She's just a little girl. Her mom is the prostitute. She may be a bad mother but she still wouldn't do that to her.
>"what was I supposed to do when a virile older man came and asked if my mom's home and I was all alone"?
She didn't say that.

Huh, I don't know, as a kid I moved every two seconds so I was in thousands of different schools. I saw all kinds of bullying but I never saw a class where absolutely no one gave a shit about ir, there was always some kid who helped another out of a sense of justice or for playing hero. Are Japanese really that unempathetic? Lol
