Another possibility is to try to find an equivalent of the general term of this sequence :
$\begin{cases} a_0=1\\ a_{n+1}=sin(a_n) \end{cases}$
Note that $f(x)=sin(x)$ has derivative $f'(x)=cos(x)$ which is positive on $[0,a_0]$ and also $<1$ on $]0,a_0[$ so $f$ is a contraction. From there it is easy to prove that $a_n\to 0$.
This means that $a_{n+1}\sim a_n$ when $n\to\infty$.
In this kind of problem we always search for an $\alpha$ such that $\mathbf{(a_{n+1})^\alpha-(a_n)^\alpha}$ does not depend of $\mathbf{a_n}$ (in the $\sim$ sense of the expression) so we are able to solve the recurrence.
From Taylor expansion $\displaystyle{(a_{n+1})^\alpha = \bigg(a_n - \frac{a_n^3}{6}+o(a_n^4)\bigg)^\alpha}=(a_n)^\alpha\bigg(1 - \frac{a_n^2}{6}+o(a_n^3)\bigg)^\alpha=(a_n)^\alpha\big(1-\frac{\alpha}{6}a_n^2+o(a_n^3)\big)$
So $(a_{n+1})^\alpha-(a_n)^\alpha=-\frac{\alpha}{6}(a_n)^{\alpha+2}+o((a_n)^{\alpha+3})\quad$ we see that we need $\alpha=-2$
Let's put $b_n=1/(a_n)^2,\qquad$ $b_n\to\infty$
We have $b_{n+1}-b_n=\frac 13+o(1/b_n)$ thus $b_n\sim\frac n3\qquad$
(more precisely $b_n=n/3+o(\ln(n))$ but it is not important at this point).
Finally $a_n\sim\sqrt\frac 3n,$ which is a term of a divergent serie so $\sum a_n$ diverges as well.
