Move aside, Solo Leveling, Takopi's Original Sin is possibly 2025's newest anime hit. Since its first episode aired on June 28, 2025, the show not only caught the attention of fans, but it also broke a record that 2025's Anime of the Year couldn't reach. Could this anime miniseries be a contender for 2026's Anime of the Year title?

On IMDb, Takopi's Original Sin has been exceptionally well-received, with all six episodes scoring above nine stars. Episode 5 stands out with the highest rating of 9.7, and the series holds an impressive overall score of 9.1/10. In comparison, Solo Leveling has a slightly lower average rating of 8.6. Its lowest-rated episode is Season 1, Episode 8, with a score of 7.6, while its highest-rated episode is Season 2, Episode 12, which also earned a 9.7.

Alright, let’s just get this clear: Chainsaw Man is not coming back with a Season 2. Nope. At least, not yet. So, instead, we’re getting the next chapter of Denji’s blood-splattered story, and it’s heading straight to the big screen with Chainsaw Man — The Movie: Reze Arc. And if you’re screaming, “Why a movie?!” believe us, you’re not alone.

So the thing is, it turns out Mappa never wanted to make Chainsaw Man‘s Reze Arc part of a second season in the first place. At Anime Expo 2025, Mappa president Manabu Otsuka finally spilled the chainsaw-flavored tea, and you know what? The reason actually does make a ton of sense. Maybe even more than you’d expect.

The Reze Arc Would’ve Ruined Chainsaw Man Season 2’s Flow: Otsuka says

Alright, quick manga refresher: the Reze arc of Chainsaw Man is where Denji gets a...

Only three months remain until Chainsaw Man - The Movie: Reze Arc will hit U.S. theaters. The first season of Chainsaw Man covered the first four-story arcs, teasing its next foe during the final episode. And while there was a chance that the Bomb Girl/Reze arc could have been part of Season 2, the team over at Mappa thinks this story could be better delivered in a movie format.

During a panel at Anime Expo 2025, Mappa's president, Manabu Otsuka, talked about the upcoming anime feature. When discussing the "Bomb Girl" arc and its exclusion from Season 2, Otsuka believed that this narrative would be better suited for the big screen, given its popularity and the desire to share it with a wider audience.

"I think that's why it's used on the small screen. And I think the Reze arc is like a fan favorite too, like people like that arc and you know,...

It was also used as an example by Sony Entertainment as it became the most-streamed anime of Q1 2025. But now, as fans wait for confirmation of its third season, a brand-new anime with really dark themes that was released two weeks ago has dethroned one of Solo Leveling's records, and time will tell if it will become the most streamed show of Q2 2025.

Takopi's Original Sinwas released on Crunchyroll on June 28, 2025, and, as of writing, it currently has two episodes, with the third set to be released this weekend. According to IMDb, its first episode, "To You in 2016," received a ranking of 9.8 stars, toppling Solo Leveling's record of 9.7 for the episode "Are You the King of Humans,...

Solo Leveling Season 1 is confirmed as 2024's most-watched new anime in an unsurprising...

Bravery isn't an uncommon trait in Solo Leveling characters. Most of these characters are placed in frightful situations often, but they still stand up to them, anyway. Despite the danger, they keep engaging with risks because the rewards may be worth it, and it's something they have to do. As such, picking out who the bravest characters in the series can be very difficult. There isn't a character who doesn't face some sort of trouble that plagues them. Still, some of these characters stand in defiance of greater odds than others.

Few S-rank hunters are on this list. While they do brave actions and put themselves in danger, S-ranks are better equipped for it than almost any other character. These hunters have well-earned confidence in themselves. The anime has yet to put most S-rank hunters when they can't be sure of themselves. The Jeju Island flashbacks do hint at the...

In the words of Solo Leveling's Taito Ban -- Sung Jinwoo's Japanese-language voice actor -- fans have plenty to look forward to in Season 2, with the anime's fight scenes teased as being "10 times flashier" and "10 times more impressive" than in the first season of the series.

Solo Leveling lead actor Taito Ban recently spoke with GamerBraves during Comic Fiesta 2024, where the star shared behind-the-scenes details for Season 1 and Season 2. Notably for fans of the ongoing Season 2, Ban teased much more exciting battles. "Even though the first season was so well executed… in the grand scheme of the story of the series, it is still the prologue," he said. "The second season brings in more characters into the mix and with the expansion of the cast… the world is going to expand far beyond just the dungeon that he was leveling in. With the threat of Igris looming again, the...

Solo Leveling, based on a manhwa under the same title, quickly grew in popularity following its release. The story follows Jinwoo Sung as he transforms from an underdog into a seemingly unstoppable force. Starting out as one of the weakest hunters, Jinwoo managed to grow in power and gained abilities that, at one point, he never would have thought possible.

By the end of the first season, Jinwoo becomes a necromancer, leaving manhwa fans excited for what’s to come and anime-only fans anticipating the future. Recently, the voices behind Jinwoo Sung and Cha Hae-in shared their thoughts on the character’s evolution and the powers he’s been granted. Their comments suggest that there’s far more to Jinwoo’s power than meets the eye.

It takes thoughtfulness to create a quirky female love interest in anime without falling into any annoying stereotypes. Their traits should be nuanced. There's a difference between a character who is very animated and goofy because they have niche interests and a fun sense of humor, and a character who is goofy for drama or fan service.

A well-written quirky girl or woman feels more like an eccentric individual than the tired "not like the other girls" trope. Eccentric love interests may have secret identities, or have a unique way of expressing creativity. Some have very granulated interests, like Maomao of The Apothecary Diaries, whose astute scientific mind leads her to enjoy ingesting poisons.

Solo Leveling Season 2's premiere and -ReAwakening- gave fans a glimpse of the excitement to come. Now, popular voice actors Taito Ban and Reina Ueda reveal an inside look into the two of the season's most important characters.

Solo Leveling voice actors Taito Ban (Sung Jinwoo) and Reina Ueda (Cha Hae-in) sat down with Real Sound to talk about Season 2, discussing the development of their characters. Jinwoo's path was described as "not bright, and he is heading in a dark direction," leaving Ban feeling "painfully sympathetic" to his character's "unyielding feelings" and "desire to become stronger." The voice acting industry was described as a "world where you compete with what you're born with," akin to Jinwoo himself, who was limited by his class -- unchangeable for most. Jinwoo is arguably Ban's biggest role, previously playing The Angel Next Door Spoils Me Rotten's Amane Fujimiya. This put major pressure on him when auditioning.
