The main visual and full promotional video for the anime Takopi's Original Sin were revealed during a special premiere and talk event held in Tokyo on the 20th. Alongside the unveiling, details about the streaming schedule and theme songs were also announced.

Based on the manga by Taizan 5, Takopi's Original Sin was serialized via the Shonen Jump+ app (Shueisha) from December 2021 to March 2022. The series gained viral attention on social media and set a record for the most views among titles running at the time. It also ranked third in the “This Manga is Amazing! 2023” guidebook (Men’s Edition).

The newly released main visual features Takopi and Shizuka, along with classmates Marina and Azuma, all gathered in a park—the story’s primary setting. The characters are surrounded by illustrated ribbons, creating a poignant and symbolic image.

The full promotional video features a preview of the opening and ending themes. The opening song, “Happy Lucky Chappy,” is a brand-new track written and performed by ano, an artist active across music and variety shows. The ending theme, “Garasu no Sen” (“A Line of Glass”), is a new song written by Tele, an artist with a passionate youth following.

ano commented, “I wrote the song based on how colorless my middle school years felt—something I still occasionally experience. I hope this song can reach those who find it hard to express their true feelings or ask for help, even just a little.”

Tele shared, “Writing this song was the only thing I could do for these characters. I layered the sounds as if writing a letter to a dear old friend. I’m truly honored to be involved with a work that made me feel that way.”

The anime will stream starting at midnight on June 28, with one episode released each Saturday. It will be available simultaneously across multiple platforms, including Netflix, Amazon Prime Video, ABEMA, and U-NEXT, with no exclusivity or early access restrictions. The series will consist of six episodes in total.
