It's not original, but it has great execution. It's all about the latter nowadays. Genre deconstructions are not a novelty anymore, but almost the norm.

People are not looking much for originality anymore, just a well-written story with well-written characters. Almost everything has been done already due to media saturation.

Even Naruto wasn't original. Most Shonen series borrow something from Dragon Ball and try to put their spin on it.
