Sakamoto Days: The Show We Didn’t Expect to Love


A few weeks ago, I came across a review bashing Sakamoto Days before it even aired. The guy was saying the animation was bad and the show wouldn't be good. But my son and I decided to give it a shot anyway, and now we’re hooked.

The Plot: Retired Assassin, New Life

Sakamoto Days follows Taro Sakamoto, a former assassin who now runs a convenience store with his wife, trying to live a quiet life. But, of course, his past keeps pulling him back into action. It's a fun mix of family moments and intense fights.

Sakamoto: From Chubby to Fast Fighter

Sakamoto is a bit of a surprise. He’s chubby and lazy, but when he needs to fight, he turns into a fast, deadly assassin. It’s hilarious watching him go from a regular guy to an unstoppable force in an instant.

Action and Comedy = Perfect Combo

The show nails the balance between comedy and action. Sakamoto’s funny, clumsy movements crack us up, but when the fight scenes hit, they’re serious and intense. It’s the perfect combo that keeps us coming back every week.

A Great Anime for Newbies

If you’re new to anime, Sakamoto Days is a great start. It’s easy to follow, fun, and not too complicated—perfect for anyone looking to try anime out without feeling overwhelmed.

Our Weekend Tradition

My son and I look forward to watching Sakamoto Days every Saturday. It’s released weekly on Netflix, which is a nice change from the usual binge-drop format. So it, One Piece (based on the fact that we around episode 700) and Solo Leveling, have all become part of our weekend routine.

Should You Watch It?

If you like action, comedy, and a lighthearted vibe, Sakamoto Days is definitely worth watching. It’s fun, easy to get into, and perfect for anyone, whether you’re a casual anime fan or just looking for something fresh.
