    A pack of humour and action !!!

    If you are a fan of anime like one punch man, it's a must watch without a doubt

    This anime packs humour, comedy, action, gore, fights, suspense all at once. All the episodes are enjoyable and it's a binge anime to watch all at once

    Other than that it portrays mant small details and messeges in every episodes and shows a deep contrast of multiple emotions

    Overall this anime is a must watch and as the episodes are going this anime has a lot of potential like others and and storyline is very intresting to keep you intrested, the animation is classy and modern, the characters are amazing, the protagonist are amazing and the antagonist are also strong

    Do give this a try!!!

    Phat John Wick

    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!

    First guntoting impression

    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.

    Good and Promising

    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.
