Sakamoto Days

Found a new anime on Netflix, Sakamoto Days. In the series, a retired hitman tries to forget his violent past, but as it usually happens in that line of work work, the forgotten life knocks on the door. Mr. Sakamato owns a small grocery store, where he lives upstairs with his family. One day, a young man arrives at the store, who has been given the task of cleaning up the traces of the past. His clients are Sakamoto's former employers and colleagues. Suddenly, the young man has second thoughts. The decision has surprising consequences. Thus begins an adventure that hooked me at least. This anime made by Yuto Suzuki is probably the first Netflix product of that genre that I got to know. At least the first contact was interesting. Sakamoto Days is an anime that surprised me in this first episode, with a well-developed plot and very exciting fights. I hope they keep the level.

A love B-class assassin from movies, comics n of course anime. Heck the best is the immortal classic Cowboy Bebop after that Gunslinger Girls.

On the winter season comes fresh n funny that doesn't take to serious.

Sakamoto Days starts out with awesome Cowboy Bebop vibe the classic assassin trope that enjoy giving a example of what he can do, then montage time given up he day job falling in love, marriage, baby comes then owner of store working as clerk just to be kill by late companion the short range telepath killer Shin.

With admiration try to take he's life so Sakamoto can live again with the family, turning into awesome shoot out when Sakamoto appears, but what is raddest goes stopping bullets with chopsticks ke hell?

The animation delivers with spectacular of smoke n mirrors action, love how he imagen the many ways to kill a person's,.

Downside is just star to what we see, cause there gonna go beyond john Woo gun fu, is gonna be while for the premier of John Wick Ballerina.

But there's Sakamoto to see more creative gun fights.

Conclusion

Sakamoto Days offers a refreshing take on the action-comedy genre, delivering a compelling story with well-developed characters and dynamic animation. Its unique premise and engaging execution make it a standout series worth watching.

Here we have one of the most anticipated anime of this first quarter of the year.

There was a lot of anticipation for "Sakamoto Days" given the popularity of the manga and the ideas surrounding its adaptation to anime format.

In my opinion, it fell quite short. It's a manga that is very stylized in its details and design, and I felt its anime is far from that.

It's a comedy with shonen overtones, and it's perfect; it fulfills that premise without further ado.

However, the animation, editing, character development, and action fell quite short for me as the weeks went by.

We have two well-defined arcs: the amusement park and the laboratory, which are good, but nothing outstanding.

Because of this, the anime has received quite a bit of criticism.

Still, it has interesting features, such as the bond between Sakamoto, Shin, and Lu, as well as its soundtrack, which is quite catchy.

Beyond that, I feel like it was an adaptation that could (and should) have been much better than it was.

Let's hope the second batch of episodes in July is much better than this one because the series has what it takes and its potential is huge.
