On the one hand, it's incredibly well-made. On the other hand I'm not sure I ever want to watch that ever again.

That's how I feel about Grave of the Fireflies. I've only seen the first episode or two of Tokopi, but my spouse and I knew we had to put it down at the time. Maybe someday.

It took me awhile to finish it too but I’d still recommend finishing Takopi if you started it
