We have a special guest on today's episode: Moh! The Marina to Saif's Shizuka, trying to steal his Azuma in Reeves—the most fitting guest possible for our review of Takopi's Original Sin (a deceptively cute but emotionally devastating anime about trauma, regret, and one very confused alien trying to fix it all—thanks, ChatGPT). Moh reflects on his sins from a previous life that have allegedly blacklisted him from entering Jordan, while Reeves relates with his own recent experiences und...
