You might think that Takopi’s Original Sin is a weird title for something that looks so cute and wholesome at first glance – but don’t be fooled.

This episode, Kyle and Aaron shed some tears for a show that doesn’t pull its punches, as an octopus shaped alien tries to make one child happy – experiencing the abuse, trauma and fear the children are going through.

This episode is NOT for our younger listeners, as it covers a lot of heavy themes including bullying, manipulation, self-harm and domestic violence.

Plus, the latest anime news and two picks from this season to cleanse your pallet after the weight of this series.
