Takopi's Original Sin compilation film reveals new trailer and visual

Takopi’s Original Sin (たこぴーの原罪) is returning to Japanese cinemas as a compilation film, and its new trailer makes the project’s purpose clear: this is not simply a recap with a new poster. The film re-edits all six episodes of the 2025 anime into one theatrical feature, with new scenes added for the big-screen release.

The compilation film is titled Takopi’s Original Sin -Thank You, See You Tomorrow- and will premiere in Japan on November 27. The announcement also confirms a new theme song, “LoveYou”, written and performed by Tele. The core cast returns, including Kurumi Mamiya as Takopi, Reina Ueda as Shizuka, Konomi Kohara as Marina and Anna Nagase as Azuma.¹

What the trailer shows

The trailer and visual put Shizuka at the centre of the film’s uneasy emotional world. That matters because Takopi’s Original Sin is built around the contrast between Takopi’s cheerful mission to spread happiness and the painful reality he finds on Earth. The original manga by Taizan 5 follows the alien Takopi after he meets the unhappy Shizuka, and turns that apparently simple premise into a much darker story about childhood, isolation and the consequences of trying to fix suffering without understanding it.

The theatrical version’s new scenes give the compilation a reason to exist beyond convenience. Re-editing a six-episode series can easily become a feature-length shortcut, but the announcement positions this as a revised presentation of the story, supported by a new song and a fresh trailer rather than a bare cut-down. The returning staff includes director and series composer Shinya Ino, character designer Keita Nagahara and animation studio ENISHIYA.¹

Our opinion

A theatrical compilation is a sensible way to give Takopi’s Original Sin a second wave of attention, particularly when the format includes new material rather than pretending a straight recap is an event. The November release is still Japan-only in the announcement, but the trailer’s focus on Shizuka suggests the film understands what made the original adaptation linger: its emotional discomfort, not just its unusual mascot.

For now, the key question is how substantial those new scenes are. If they deepen the film’s character work instead of merely smoothing transitions between episodes, this could be a worthwhile reintroduction rather than a compressed re-run.

The film opens in Japanese cinemas on November 27. International release details have not been announced in the source material.¹²
