Overview

• The series wrapped up on August 2 with a finale that underscored its themes of empathy and sacrifice without extending beyond its source material.
• Across its six episodes, the anime examined childhood trauma and mental health challenges—bullying and depression—through a time-travel storyline.
• Takopi’s Original Sin became a global sleeper hit, streaming on Crunchyroll and Japanese platforms including Netflix, Prime Video, Hulu Japan and Disney+.
• By adapting all 16 chapters of Taizan 5’s web manga, the series leaves no remaining source for a direct sequel and makes a second season unlikely.
• Critics praised its nonlinear narrative structure and vibrant yet haunting animation as hallmarks of Summer 2025’s most acclaimed new anime.
