Hello everyone, please enjoy your early access to my detailed analysis of Takopi's Original Sin Episode 1. Yes, I recorded over

Hello Patreon family, please enjoy your unedited access to my detailed analysis of Takopi's Original Sin Episode 1. Yes, I recorded over 2 hours for the pilot episode because...Well, this show absolutely bamboozled me. I see why so many of you guys have been asking me to react to this show, and, wow, what an intense show. Put on your seat belts, and enjoy!

p.s., Supporters and Enthusiasts, the unedited version will become available before the YouTube version goes live on 8/6.

p.p.s., my 1.5-hour reaction to Frieren Episode 28 will drop on Sat. Let's mourn together :')

I see you chose sadness for us today. Welcome to this crazy ride of a show!

Psychotherapist Reacts

The people have spoken lol idk if I would’ve chosen this for myself but I guess I took a long enough break from Violet Evergarden 🤣 enjoy! A very powerful show

JD

Since you asked, this anime is only 6 episodes long and the 6th episode was released today.

Psychotherapist Reacts

Some suggested Arcane! But you can share that rec officially in Discord so we can keep track :) and yeah what a powerful show

Levanah

OK, thanks JD and Benoit for this pre-review...I'll skip this one too. To everyone suggesting anime for discussion: sadness, grief, trauma, and toxic relationships aren't the only topics that carry some depth! I truly loved/am loving BK's reactions to Violet, Frieren, and Your Name--and the community that has grown around them. And what do my three favorites all have in common? Characters who may be deeply injured, like Violet, but who aren't toxic. Characters, injured or no, that I can safely welcome into my consciousness, and feel their growth in my heart as I absorb their story. Apologies for the sort-of-rant; maybe this belongs on Discord, but I'm having trouble with that platform. Anyway...thanks, guys, for the heads-up.

Psychotherapist Reacts

Valid input! Yes, let’s try to consolidate all anime recs in Discord if possible!

Levanah

OK, I'll port it over to #general. Thanks.

Thank you about the criteria, it's very helpful to have it on hand. Also, thank you for your reaction to this anime, I started watching it too and you're helping me to understand it better.

Ok, so you said that "once an individual makes up their mind to kill themselves, they will find a way" but I was under the impression that this is not always, and indeed is often not, the case. I understand that the UK doesn't sell Tylenol in large quantities for this reason, as it was a popular method to attempt suicide in that country. Pills always come in blister packs so that they are difficult to take in large quantities easily and doing so actually reduced the suicide rate without shifting to other methods. I being it up because it is a concept I bring up in discussions on gun control/gun rights, mainly that easy access to devices incredibly effective at killing like guns can mean life and death for people experiencing suicidal thoughts. I'm not saying that people don't have chronic suicidal thoughts or ideation, but just really pushing against the notion that, for individuals who decide to kill themselves, that it is inevitable. Of course, if I'm wrong or just not completely right, let me know.

Psychotherapist Reacts

We are saying similar things. Having access to guns is the first thing we question when we do suicide and risk assessment. If individuals makeup their minds by checking all “intent” “method” and “thought” then they will proceed with it

Greg Boege

Ah, ok, I see the angle now, I think. If they have committed to it then they will act upon it until they uncommit. Not that it is a switch that cannot be turned off. Phew, I was thinking "pretty sure he knows this stuff better than you do, Greg" but I also had believed I was right pretty strongly.

Not How it Lux

Wow, what a devastating first ep, I knew it was going to be depressing like but yeah they really hit the nail on the head with this one and held nothing back. Also you mentioned about it being a reverse story but I don't think it's us leading up to her death but rather takopi trying to stop that future from happening as that's what happened without his intervention. He is just rewinding back to the point of the picture and trying to figure out why that happened and trying to prevent it, at least that's what I got from this, this is the first I've seen of the show tho so maybe we will find out more in ep 2 and beyond. Thanks for the reaction tho didn't think I would sit through the entire 2 hours but here i am, I couldn't turn away

I had just gotten back from a long vacation when this dropped and didn’t want to lose that vibe. Finally got around to watching it on my own last month. Needed another break before checking your reactions. This episode is brutal. I feel like everyone should be taught basic listening skills and even basics of therapeutic listening. I’m a natural listener, but even a 1 day workshop of therapeutic listening skills was revolutionary for my practice of nursing. It was really life changing. I know it’s allowed for my patient’s to feel seen and allowed me to recognize truly profound moments happening. Half-Asian growing up in the US in the 80s post-Vietnam exposed me to a lot of racism and bullying. Bullies liked to challenge Asian kids to show them their kung fu - like some kind of perverted martial arts flick. Sorry, wrong Asian for kung fu. Anime wasn’t a reason to be bullied for our generation, though. The coolest shows (and toys!) were often Americanized anime: Transformers, Voltron, and Robotech. So anime wasn’t just socially acceptable for the boys of our generation it was considered cool.

Psychotherapist Reacts

Yeah it’s interesting how different context became weaponized differently for bullying and racism…and yeah glad you took a break before watching the reaction lol absolutely brutal
