The
emotional impact and raw drama that shook the anime world are ready to make the
big leap to the big screen. The official website for the animated
adaptation of the acclaimed manga Takopi's Original Sin (Takopii
no Genzai) released a special promotional video revealing the release date
of its compilation film titled Takopii no Genzai -Arigatou, Mata
Ashita-, which will hit theaters in Japan on November 27.
This
cinematic installment will compile the six episodes of the miniseries released
in June 2025, also including unpublished scenes specially produced for this
version. To announce the project, the promotional footage reorganized scenes
from the series showing a peculiar conversation between Shizuka and Takopi
where they joke about the possibility of having a movie, also marking the
beginning of the "TakoP Project" whose news will be revealed later.
The heartbreaking story follows Takopi, a tender alien who arrives on Earth on
a mission to spread happiness, but upon meeting Shizuka, a fourth-grader mired
in depression and abuse, his well-intentioned attempts to use time travel
technology trigger devastating and tragic consequences.
