After watching the anime, I have a few questions (especially the ending and his sin)

I asked about his original sin here for reference
https://myanimelist.net/forum/?goto=post&topicid=2225920&id=73072741


But I still don't understand, his mother asked what does "kill" mean, so what is the original sin she believed Takopi has committed, if she didn't know about him wanting to kill Shizuka? I've watched ep 6 but I still don't understand his original sin (or at least the sin she believed he has committed).

Also, is it just me or does the resolve (Marina and Shizuka starts getting along) feels too fast-paced (6 minutes before the anime end, starts getting along within a minute)? They get along just from accidentally seeing a drawing of Takopi, yet they don't have any idea of what drawing it is.

Tho I still love this anime and I'm glad they still managed get along at the end. It just was not based on my expectation, especially when Azuma is not in the party in the end.

I would say that the takopi's original sin is that he didn't try to actually communicate with shizuka and marina and know what's going on between them. But i think that it can also be the murder of marina as well, tbf i think that's up to you, it can really have different definitions.

Same with the ending, i think that the whole episode six is one of the endings that you can choose to think that actually happened, when somehow takopi waited for shizuka and turn back time with the camera along with his disappearance, giving them the possibility to actually talk things out with each other and deal with their situation themselves. Or it can be that takopi is actually killed in episode 5, and episode six is just a glimpse of what can happen if takopi wasn't killed, and was able to wait for shizuka to come back from tokyo.

It's just me tho, this is the first time I commented on mal because I found this anime very interesting and it gave us a lot of room to imagine. Hope you found my view interesting.

What i get from this is just a way to give the show a farewell happy ending. i mean there is no proper solution to their situation, it just so bleak. You can only pull happy ending with literal magic. The logic if i may guess it's like passing the vague memory / feeling for the existence of takopi from other timeline, why they get along is probably because the shared memory of takopi, so at least they have something in common. or idk just magic.

I don't think the ending is the point of the series, it just a way to end it.

Lemme copypaste my post from different threads:

My theory:
In Christian theology "Original Sin" is described as sinful nature and separation from God inherited by all humans after Adam and Eve defied God.
Just like the Biblical Adam and Eve commited the Original Sin by defying God and after eating the Forbidden Fruit, they started to understand the good and evil. Takopi by defying his own Mother (God) and spending some time among humans, who have complex morality, have also started to comprehend good and evil after which he was even exiled from his planet, just like Adam and Eve were from Eden.
Happy planet was described as a paradise, where is only happiness and blissful ignorance, which comes as granted, just like Eden.

To put it simply, during his stay on Earth, Takopi developed mortality, started comprehending good and evil and thus lost his innocence, which means he has no place on Happy Planet.
That was his Original Sin.
