In a monumental triumph for the Summer 2025 anime season, ENISHIYA's critically acclaimed series, 'Takopi's Original Sin,' has achieved an extraordinary feat, securing the top spot in the weekly anime rankings for an astounding five consecutive weeks. This remarkable consistent performance culminates in a complete sweep for its entire six-episode run, a rare accomplishment that positions it as only the second anime ever to dominate every single weekly ranking throughout its broadcast, mirroring the flawless streak set by 'The Dangers in My Heart Season 2' in Winter 2024.

This unexpected alliance leads to a cascade of profound and often heartbreaking consequences, exploring mature themes with an unflinching gaze.

Critical Acclaim and Cultural Impact
The anime's exceptional quality is further underscored by its universal critical acclaim; every single episode boasts an IMDb rating above 9, solidifying its status as the highest-rated new anime of 2025 to date. Fan reactions across streaming platforms reflect the series' powerful duality, as viewers grapple with Takopi's endearing innocence against the backdrop of the darker, more weighty subjects it courageously addresses.
