Crunchyroll’s Darkest Anime Returns With Special Promo Set After Finale

This summer, Crunchyroll has been undeniably captivating, with an impressive lineup of anime releases that have truly made a splash. Among them, their darkest show has reemerged, unveiling a special promotional trailer featuring its main characters following the climactic finale. Kicking off the Summer 2025 anime schedule, Crunchyroll delivered one of the most anticipated collections of releases for the entire year. Not only did they bring back some fan-favorite returns, but also introduced fresh adaptations eagerly awaited by manga enthusiasts. However, it’s a brief series that has stolen the spotlight during the initial phase of this summer season.

Takopi’s Original Sin Gains Popularity

In its initial episodes, Takopi’s Original Sin captivated audiences with a deeply dark premiere, delving into heavy themes like bullying, abuse, and more through the perspectives of children residing in a quaint town. The anime concluded after just six installments. However, the series took a dramatic turn in its final episodes, employing its time travel device to unveil an entirely different future. Recently, during Anime NYC 2025, the two main characters made their comeback with some exclusive new artwork, marking the conclusion of the time skip finale.

The manga titled “Takopi’s Original Sin” by Taizan 5 debuted on Shueisha’s Jump+ app in 2021, and fans of the original series eagerly called for an anime adaptation. This summer, their wishes were granted with a six-episode miniseries, which consistently dominated charts every week it aired due to its dedicated fanbase. The animation team at Enishiya did an exceptional job in bringing the series to life, with each episode not only mirroring but also heightening fans’ anticipation with its stunning animation style that matched the intense storyline.

From where I stand, I’ve recently observed that “Takopi’s Original Sin” wrapped up its anime run not long ago, and since then, enthusiasts have been vocalizing their appreciation for it as not just one of the outstanding productions of the Summer 2025 season, but also one of the standout releases of the year thus far. Despite the fierce competition that lies ahead from other heavy-hitting titles we’ve seen (and will continue to witness in the Fall), these six episodes are undeniably a must-see for those eager to understand the hype surrounding it. However, it’s essential to note that its profound content makes it quite challenging to watch at times.

How to Watch Takopi’s Original Sin

Luckily, this promotion doesn’t reveal too much about the story, even though it follows the series finale. If you’re even a little intrigued, I’d recommend checking out “Takopi’s Original Sin.” You can now stream all six episodes of the anime on Crunchyroll, and you’ll soon understand why it’s been generating so much buzz. Unlike other shows this summer, it promises to be one of the darkest releases of the year.

No worries if you haven’t seen the finale yet – this promo won’t spoil it for you! If you’re curious about “Takopi’s Original Sin,” give it a watch. You can find all six episodes streaming on Crunchyroll right now, and trust us, it’s been getting a lot of attention for a reason. It stands out from other summer shows, and we think it’ll be one of the most compelling dark releases this year.

If you enjoyed this series by Taizan 5, know that his other manga works are equally intense and engaging. You can find these on platforms like Viz Media’s Shonen Jump library to compare and contrast. Given the success of this miniseries, it’s likely that the creator’s other works may also get adapted into anime in the future, providing more diverse options for anime fans who are always looking for fresh shows each season.
