Sakamoto Days

It's only been 1 episode, but so far it gives justice to the Sakamoto Days manga (the Japanese comic it's based on).

If you love great action with great choreography and fluidity and indulge into dark humour but also feel good moments, this is for you.

Can't express how much I it got me hooked from only 1 volume I read and 1 episode I watched, more than any other media from "Shonen Jump".

This is not your average hero fighting demons with super powers, this is more realistic John Wick if he was fatter and had a sense of humour.

What you reading this for? Go watch it or read it!

ITS A MUST!

Mid adaption Netflix sold . I'm sure most will downvote because your bias and are scared to critique ur favorite shows, I don't care.

I was so hype for this show to be animated because it was hyped up to one of the BEST new gen animes alongside jjk , and solo leveling etc . But it's just Disappointing , knowing the source. I'm sure some will downvoted because ur bias and are scared to critique ur favorite shows don't really care. People will say animation means nothing but if it's an ACTION SHOW about assassins and has amazing choreography and art in the manga, that's what I expect. It's mostly still images and decent art I mean just look at the manga seriously .. It's 2025 animation is a huge part of great shows. It's not terrible but the manga was just that amazing in terms of those things. It's just disappointing not necessarily bad , my expectations were just way too high.

The trailer caught my attention and I gave it a shot, it was worth it!. The animation is fine to me and they have to maintain the consistency in the upcoming episodes.

A good mix of humour and action, also contains some wholesome moments. Hope they are cooking bigger for big stage actions. Aoi (Sakamoto's wife) sure seems sus as she is normal with everything but let's see what happens. The last fight scene of the episode was really good and I enjoyed it.

Waiting for the second episode already and will read the manga in the near future! Hope the hype will get justified in the upcoming episodes.

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.

I started watching Sakamoto Days right after finishing Attack on Titan and The Promised Neverland, so I was really in the mood for something light and fun-and this anime totally delivered. It's genuinely funny, I caught myself laughing out loud more than once. It doesn't try to be super deep or overly complex, which is exactly what makes it so enjoyable. It's just easy to watch, in the best way.

The story is simple but still interesting enough to keep you watching. I ended up binging a few episodes in one go without even realizing. The animation is cute, nothing mind-blowing but it fits the vibe really well.

I've seen people complain about the voice acting, but I don't really get the hate? I'm watching it in Japanese with subtitles, and I actually like the voices. They feel natural and match the characters. Also, if you're learning Japanese, the language in this anime is super casual and easy to follow-great for picking up everyday vocab.

If you're looking for something light and entertaining to chill with after some intense series, Sakamoto Days is a great pick.
