Sakamoto Days

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.

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!

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.

Sakamoto Days bursts onto the anime scene with slick animation and over-the-top action, but stumbles in translating the manga's full charm to the screen.

The Good: Action Sequences - The anime shines brightest in its fluid, creatively choreographed fight scenes, with Sakamoto's ridiculous physicality leading to some of the most entertaining brawls of the season.

Strong Voice Acting & Personality - The cast brings energy to their roles, especially Sakamoto's deadpan humor and the eccentric side characters.

Faithful Art Style - The character designs and aesthetic stay true to the manga's appeal, with vibrant colors and smooth motion.

The Not-So-Good: Pacing Issues - Some episodes rush through arcs, while others drag, making the story feel inconsistent.

Underdeveloped Antagonists - Many villains lack depth, feeling more like disposable obstacles than real threats.

Missing Manga Charm - While visually solid, the anime doesn't always capture the same comedic timing or subtle character moments that made the manga so engaging.

Verdict: Sakamoto Days is a fun, action-packed ride with fantastic fight animation, but it doesn't fully escape the pitfalls of a rushed adaptation. If you love dynamic combat and quirky characters, it's worth watching-just don't expect a masterpiece.

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.
