Takopi’s Original Sin
The road to hell is paved with good intentions, and Takopi’s Original Sin’s titular protagonist is about to learn this the hard way. Takopi is a pink, octopus-like extraterrestrial from Happy Planet, and he’s come to Earth to spread love and joy. Armed with cool gadgets to rival those of Doraemon, he sets his sights on a despondent Shizuka Kuze, looking to lift her spirits.

But this isn’t another Lilo & Stitch-esque tale of girl-meets-alien with a happy ending. When the naive Takopi’s attempt to cheer his new friend up results in tragedy, he travels back in time to understand what went wrong, only to realise that some problems can’t be fixed, and not everyone can be saved.

Based on the web manga written and illustrated by Taizan 5, this six-episode anime hits hard with heavy themes — including bullying, child abuse, and infidelity — and devastating emotional moments. Director Shinya Iino, who had worked on the similarly dark Made in Abyss and much lighter-in-tone Dr.STONE, explores the unimaginable cruelty of children (and their parents) and the limits of kindness when it comes from a place of ignorance.

Gintama – Mr. Ginpachi’s Zany Class
Gintama fans, rejoice! If you’re still crying waterfalls after the often-hilarious, occasionally heart-shattering saga wrapped up with its 2021 finale film, you’re in luck. Class is back in session — with a wildly unhinged new spin-off, Mr. Ginpachi’s Zany Class. 

In this alternate reality, eccentric samurai Gintoki Sakata has traded his sword for a chalkboard, becoming Ginpachi-sensei: an exhausted, exasperated high-school teacher in charge of the chaos that is Class 3-Z. His students are characters from Gintama transposed to a school setting: Kagura dreams of becoming a ‘well-endowed’ school idol, Shinpachi is the strait-laced, bespectacled geek, and Ayame Sarutobi reinvents herself as an internet dream-novel writer hopelessly obsessed with Ginpachi. 

The franchise’s signature fourth-wall-smashing self-aware humour is alive and thriving, from blatant Jump Comics (the company that publishes the Gintama comics) product placement to sharp jabs at pop culture misfires like Dragonball Evolution. Whether the class is chasing ghost stories after dark or foiling bank robbers mid-assembly, one thing’s guaranteed: with Ginpachi in charge, there’s never a dull moment.

When the bell rings, chaos begins

A Mortal’s Journey 
Slow and steady wins you immortality. This richly detailed donghua (Chinese animation), adapted from Wang Yu’s sprawling 11-volume xianxia cultivation-fantasy epic, follows Han Li, an ordinary peasant boy with no special destiny, just relentless determination.

Starting at the very bottom in a quiet mountain village, Han Li joins the Seven Supreme Sect in search of the secrets of eternal life. But after an attack by the ruthless Feral Wolf Gang, his path twists into a long, perilous climb toward the immortal realm. Along the way, he encounters powerful allies and rivals, including the enigmatic Nangong Wan, and survives countless battles — sometimes by fighting, often by wisely fleeing.

What sets Han Li apart is his caution and cunning. Unlike the genre’s usual overpowered heroes, he advances step by step, using patience, strategy, and sheer grit to outlast his enemies. Praised for its striking world-building and dynamic fight choreography, the series even took home Best 3D Animated Programme at last year’s Asian Television Awards — proof that this mortal’s journey is anything but ordinary.

MF Ghost
Street-racing roars into the spotlight in MF Ghost. Based on the hit manga and serving as the sequel to cult classic Initial D, this high-octane anime shifts gears into a near future where electric vehicles dominate the roads — and the thrill of petrol-powered engines is sorely missed. 

Enter Kanata Rivington, a Japanese-British rookie with prodigious driving skills and a mysterious past. As he begins outpacing elite European supercars, Kanata’s quest for speed becomes deeply personal. His search for answers about his long-lost father leads him to Japan, where he enters the underground street-racing league known as MFG (Mount Fuji Ghost), founded and organised by Ryosuke Takahashi from the Initial D series. 

Battling a fiercely competitive field of racers, Kanata pushes his limits in pursuit of the MFG title, all while uncovering the truth behind his family history. Adrenaline-fuelled and steeped in racing nostalgia, MF Ghost is a must-watch for anime fans and motorsport lovers alike.
