Sakamoto Days

The name Tarou Sakamoto once instilled fear in every villain. No other professional hitman matched his prowess, and fellow assassins revered him. However, Sakamoto fell in love. In five short years, he married, became a father, put on some weight, and traded his weapons for an apron as he became the owner of a humble convenience store.

Although Sakamoto is decidedly retired, he finds his old life of crime hard to shake off. His former partner, Shin Asakura, reappears and resolves to stay with Sakamoto's family under their strict no-kill rule. To make matters worse, a large bounty is placed on Sakamoto's head. Numerous assassins now pursue him—but they are in for a surprise. Sakamoto has not lost his edge, and no matter what tricks his enemies pull, he will fight off every last one to protect his dear family.

Let’s do a quick review

Animation: 8
Characters: 9
Comedy: 9.5
Story: 7.5
Soundtrack: 7.5

Normally, I’d start by saying “let’s begin with the bad parts,” but honestly, there weren’t any for me. The anime is consistently solid from beginning to end—I actually binged it all in one day because I enjoyed it that much.

It follows the same formula we see in a lot of isekai, action, or superpower anime: an insanely overpowered, untouchable protagonist. But unlike most of those shows, Sakamoto Days really nails this concept. It doesn’t treat the superpowers as something overly serious or constantly badass, but instead turns them into a steady source of comedy and fun. ... That keeps Sakamoto from becoming just another bland, personality-less OP protagonist like so many others.

The comedy really worked for me—I found myself laughing out loud several times. But, as the saying goes, comedy is subjective. It hit the mark for me, but it might not work the same for you.

The characters and their growing relationships are also really enjoyable. There’s no dead weight here—no annoying characters you just want to skip past. They all fit together nicely. I also like how even during the more dramatic moments, the show doesn’t lose its comedic tone—it sticks to its identity the whole way through.

Anyway, to keep it short: Sakamoto Days is a good anime. It has fun characters, genuinely funny humor, solid animation, and it handles the OP protagonist trope really well.

It’s definitely a strong 8.5




façamos uma breve analise

Animação: 8
Personagens: 9
Comedia: 9,5
Historia: 7,5
Trilha sonora: 7,5

Normalmente começaria dizendo, vamos começar pela parte ruim, mas sinceramente ela não existiu para mim. O anime é todo muito consistente do começo ao fim, maratonei ele em um único dia, por ter gostado e me divertido muito.
Temos aqui a mesma formula de diversos isekais, animes de ação ou de super poderes. Um protagonista extremamente overpower, invencível e intocável. Mas diferentes de todos os outros, Sakamoto Days acerta muito nisso, não tratando esse super poder, como algo serio e badass o tempo todo, mas uma fonte consistente de comedia e diversão para quem assiste, não tornando assim Sakamoto só mais uma massa amorfa e sem personalidade como todo protagonista isekai ou overpower.

A comedia do anime me agradou muito, me peguei gargalhando diversas vezes, mas como ja disse o poeta, comedia é relativa, ela funcionou comigo, mas talvez não funcione com você.

Os personagens e o relacionamento que vai se desenvolvendo entre eles é muito agradável, não temos sobras aqui, ou personagens chatos dos quais não queremos ver. Todos eles ficam muito bem junto. Gosto de como mesmo nas partes mais dramáticas, eles não perderam o tom de comedia que escolheram para a obra.

Enfim sem me prolongar muito, Sakamoto Days é um bom anime, tem personagens divertidos, uma comedia realmente engraçada, uma animação satisfatória e soube trabalhar bem o conceito de um protagonista overpower.

É sem duvidas um solido 8,5

Mixed Feelings

As someone who read the manga in preparation for the release of this show, I can only say that I'm disappointed.

Knowing the course of the source material, it was easy to overlook how much was wrong with the adaptation (mostly because I was just excited to see it animated), but thinking about how this could be some people's first interaction with the Sakamoto Days story made me extremely sad. Putting aside how lackluster the animation was, the flow of the episodes just felt very disted, and the pacing was also quite strange.

Still, there are some merits to its existence, I just hope that ... season two is able to deliver more than the first. Moral of the story though, just read the manga.

Those who criticized the anime for its animation also have positive arguments in other aspects; the episodes were a huge disappointment in every way. I don't follow the manga, but this isn't just the adaptation's fault, as it only shows slight improvements in animation. Even so, the personalities were handled very well. Another thing I can praise are the villains — they had little screen time, but excellent designs and great expectations for the fights, even with the designs that many criticize.
I don't know if they'll manage to fix things for the second season, but we shouldn't expect much based on what we've seen so ... far :p
