My Hero Academia surpasses Takopi's Original Sin in a spectacular fashion, officially claiming the title of the highest-rated anime of 2025! The final season of the superhero series has shaken up the charts with its top-tier animation quality and episodes scoring near-perfect ratings. Let's explore why Deku's series has surpassed the psychological masterpiece Takopi's Original Sin to lead this year's rankings.
Takopi’s Original Sin: A Work That Touches the Deepest Emotions
Takopi’s Original Sin first premiered in June 2025 and quickly captivated viewers with its emotional and profound content. This anime tells the story of an octopus-shaped alien named Takopi, who comes to Earth with the mission of bringing happiness to humans. Upon meeting Shizuka, a little girl, Takopi gradually realizes that human life is far more complex and painful than it imagined.
Despite having only 6 episodes, Takopi’s Original Sin left a strong impression by exploring dark and heavy themes such as psychological trauma, abuse, mental health, suicide, the consequences of actions, and the importance of human connection. With its bold and unhesitating storytelling style, this anime deeply moved viewers, delivering emotional moments that few works dare to tackle.
Not only praised by fans, Takopi’s Original Sin was also lauded by critics for its excellent adaptation, creative direction, and, more importantly, its powerful emotional impact on viewers. This anime quickly rose to the top of the 2025 IMDb rankings and became one of the year's standout works.
My Hero Academia: The Final Season Makes a Strong Breakthrough
However, not long after Takopi’s Original Sin achieved resounding success, My Hero Academia surprised everyone with a powerful breakthrough in the early episodes of its eighth season. Premiering in early October 2025, My Hero Academia’s final season immediately became one of the best installments in the series’ history. Each episode delivered stunning animation, thrilling battles, and especially memorable moments, satisfying viewers throughout the long journey of Deku and his companions.
As of the seventh episode titled “From Aizawa,” My Hero Academia has achieved an average score of 9.5, with the latest episode, “Izuku Midoriya Rising,” reaching a record high of 9.9, making it the highest-scoring episode of the season. The consistent maintenance of scores above 9.0 has helped My Hero Academia surpass not only Takopi’s Original Sin but also many other contenders in 2025.
While Takopi’s Original Sin remains a unique and memorable work this year, it's undeniable that My Hero Academia’s final season has exceeded all expectations and is on track to solidify its leading position in the rankings. Although this season has not yet concluded, with current trends, it is highly likely that the conclusion of My Hero Academia will rise strongly and surpass Takopi’s Original Sin in the list of most beloved anime of 2025.
My Hero Academia Surpasses Takopi’s Original Sin: Why?
So what helped My Hero Academia surpass Takopi’s Original Sin and become one of the most beloved anime of 2025? Part of it can be explained by the deep connection the series has built with viewers since its early seasons. The coming-of-age journey of Izuku Midoriya and other characters in My Hero Academia consistently captivates and enthralls viewers, especially as each season brings new challenges and memorable advancements for the heroes.
Furthermore, My Hero Academia has a significant advantage in its scale and large international fanbase. Grand battles, diverse characters, and dramatic plot twists have contributed to the enduring appeal of this series.
Meanwhile, while Takopi’s Original Sin offers a profound and challenging emotional experience, its short runtime and self-contained narrative make it less accessible to all viewers. Nevertheless, it cannot be denied that Takopi’s Original Sin has left a deep impression on those who appreciate dark and highly humanistic stories.
