On December 22, 2024, Takopi's Original Sin revealed its first PV and featured the main voice cast as guests during the Shonen Jump+ 10th Anniversary Stage of Jump Festa 2025. The PV also unveiled the series' main staff members and the event saw the arrival of a Takopi plushie, which brought a message from the series' author.

Takopi's Original Sin is based on a manga series written and illustrated by Taizan5. The series is published in 2 volumes, both of which have been released in English and Japanese.

The main PV for Takopi's Original Sin featured Takopi, the alien, and Shizuka, the human child, as they interacted in a scene that looked like it could be from the first episode. The PV continued revealing their interactions and also focused on Marina and Azume, the side characters.

The PV ended with the reveal of the staff members and the 2025 premiere. The series will be animated by the studio Enishiya, which is known for its role as 'producer' in the Spice and Wolf remake.

The main voice casting, who were also guests at the Jump Festa 2025 stage, includes Shizuka Kuze voiced by Reina Ueda (Chinatsu from Blue Box), and Takopi by Kurumi Mamiya (Leo from One Piece).

The main staff members for the anime series include Shinya Iino (director of Dr Stone) as the series' director and composer. Meanwhile, Keita Nagahara (key animator from Weathering with You) serves as the character designer.

The Jump Festa event for Takopi's Original Sin also revealed a word from the author of manga's author, Taizan5. The message mostly consisted of the author's gratitude for the anime adaptation and best wishes for the series' voice casting and staff members. The stage majorly showcased the discussion between the voice casting, so there wasn't much visual representation (other than the PV reveal).

The anime is a drama-psychological series centered around an alien creature, known as Happian, who left home to spread happiness. After arriving on Earth, the Happian met Shizuka who offered him food (bread) and also gave him the name 'Takopi.' To pay back the girl for her bread, Takopi decided to make Shizuka happy.

However, Shizuka was least interested in this, given how the everyday bullying had gotten to her head. Takopi wasn't aware of it and while discovering about the harsh conditions of the female protagonist, Takopi tried his best to make Shizuka happy.
