Will There Be a Season 2 of Takopi’s Original Sin?
The manga wrapped up in just 16 chapters, and the anime adapted the entire story, leaving no material left for a second season. The ending feels complete, tying up the emotional arcs of Shizuka, Marina, and Takopi in a way that’s satisfying, if heartbreaking.
That said, fans are clamoring for more, and Taizan 5 could theoretically write a sequel manga about Takopi or another Happy Planet alien. But as of now, there’s no word on new chapters or a Season 2, and some argue the story’s perfect as a standalone.
Takopi’s Original Sin Season 1 Ending Explained
By Episode 6, Takopi’s mission to make Shizuka happy has gone completely off the rails. After accidentally killing Marina, Shizuka’s bully, and realizing his time-travel gadgets can’t fix her pain, Takopi learns he was originally sent back in time to kill Shizuka to ease Marina’s suffering.
Instead, Takopi sacrifices himself to reset the timeline, giving Shizuka and Marina a chance at a better future. In the new timeline, they’re best friends, bonded by their shared connection to Takopi. It’s bittersweet—Takopi’s gone, but his sacrifice brings hope, which left me tearing up but oddly uplifted.
On Twitter, @theotakuinsider announces that Takopi's Original Sin anime has officially concluded with Episode 6. Fans are invited to share their thoughts on this emotional and impactful series.
Where to Watch Takopi’s Original Sin?
You can stream Takopi’s Original Sin on Crunchyroll, Netflix, Amazon Prime Video, Abema, and U-Next, with Crunchyroll being the go-to for folks outside Asia. In the Asia-Pacific, check out Ani-One Asia’s YouTube channel for episodes. I watched it on Crunchyroll, and the subbed version with Japanese audio and English subtitles was seamless.
Takopi’s Original Sin
This anime, based on Taizan 5’s manga, dropped in Summer 2025 and caught everyone off guard. It follows Takopi, a squid-like alien from Happy Planet, who lands on Earth to spread joy but stumbles into the messy, tragic life of Shizuka, a bullied fourth-grader.
What starts as a Doraemon-esque adventure spirals into a psychological drama about abuse, grief, and time travel, with a pastel art style that makes the pain hit harder. The series, produced by Enishiya and directed by Shinya Iino, ran for six episodes from June 28 to August 2, 2025.
