One thing to note is that I rlly don't dig the Shin being fake killed through Tarou's mind because I just find that not fun to watch but yeah that's just a me problem so it's just nitpicking obv.

Anyways though yeah, his wife Aoi implemented the no kill rule to Tarou especially because he's not a hitman anymore.

Another new character in the mix named Lu and damn she's quite the champ at combat. Tragic backstory from her aside. The deadly duo brothers who killed her parents are coming after her for her key to the great vault as a job and they are psychotic.

Like expected, Tarou and Shin helped her, and Tarou literally carried them with his cool style of combat.

A quite enjoyable episode. Looking forward for more because I'm alr curious enough to see who's the next antagonist or main antagonist for the main duo have to face in the future.

How the hell are there people complaining about the animation? It looks great. I would kill for any of my favorite manga to get this level of animation.

Anyways, a decent episode. I enjoyed watching these past two episodes, but the story and characters seem pretty basic so far. Hope it won't just be random people constantly going after our hitman duo, otherwise I could see this getting stale real quick.

Really like the adaptation so far, yes the action scenes doesn’t look as great as Mappa or ufotable shows but wasn’t expecting that because I knew about the studio which was adapting Sakamoto Days.Yes it deserves that type of animation and action because the manga is so good.But i personally enjoyed these two episodes.The action scenes are ok too ,loved these music and sound effects too.Don’t know why still some people are crying about the animation,that they want Demon slayer/Jjk season 2 level of animation considering the studio is not Mappa or ufotable.So far really good adaptation of a great manga.Btw Lu’s voice actress is one of my favourites so nice.

Fuck me, it looks even worse than ep1! It's slow, stiff, ugly, the directing is uninspired and even the music sounds off. This adaptation might end up being my biggest disappointment ever.

Early Sakamoto is misleading to be honest. It gets more serious over time. This adaptation won’t do it justice tho so I would highly recommend anyone to pick up the manga. It honestly has some of the best action sequences ever and that’s why it needed an elite anime adaptation. A damn shame.

we need more sakuga for example (impact frame, flash step, fish eye etc...) but maybe for season 2 cuz the fighting will be ridiculously fast. Can't wait for it. I'm hoping the best for this anime

For me it's a drop. I don't like anime which take place in a obviously realistic setting, but some features (Sakamoto in this case, who is just a human) are unrealistic.

Well, Sakamoto must respect the family rule, but when it comes to saving people, he must do it.

Shin, Lu and Sakamoto are so nice together. The plot is good and Lu can definitely help them with the family treasure.

Japanese pork buns being sold in Chinatown? Sounds kinda suspicous.

I find it weird that Lu, despite being the daughter of a mafia boss and holding the key to their hidden vault, literally spills the beans about herself and why she's being hunted down to two random strangers she just met. I mean, they saved her, but there’s no way she could have known their real intentions.

Really hated that disgusting emotional manipulation Sakamotos wife used in the flash back. Super fucked up, so anytime Sakamoto does something his wife doesnt like shes going to threaten him with suicide? Toxic ass woman right there. Other than that the show has some decent funny moments, but man that flash back kinda ruined the episode for me.

Sakamotos wife is insane WTF, did she tried to kill herself in front of him to test him? then again she married a killer, i was surprised she knew, i thought Sakamoto d hid his past from her
also surprised at the amount of violence but that aside i was less entertained by this episode compared to the previous one
guess ill try 2 more episodes before decicing wether to drop or not

Great episode I forgot about Lu’s past until now and I’ll be honest it’s really sad her parents died but it was really sweet seeing her get closure and finally figuring out what was behind the vault and seeing her dad left her some Grade A alcohol, she deserves it😊😊

And oh man the JAA targeting Sakamoto I forgot shit hits the fan real quick in this series and we bout to see Mr. Hard Boil soon too and that’s when I think everyone is gonna hype on the Sakamoto Days train😼

Bro I have NO clue where TF this “bad animation” is at bc I have YET to see said bad animation like I swear you ppl are so spoiled by JJK s2 animation that you see a normal animated show and think it’s “bad animation” like this is crazy fr that ppl are this entitled😐

I'm definitely enjoying Sakamoto Days so far and the introduction to Lu in this episode was pretty nice. She's cute and can handle herself in a fight, but I did enjoy seeing Sakamoto going to town on the assassin brothers so easily with the kitchen cutlery and appliances.

The flashback to when Sakamoto and his wfie was also important and nice. She might've been too reckless, but her point about wanting him to stop killing back then made complete sense. He's done well to abide to those rules and his marriage with her has been solid ever since, although it was funny to see him being a bit scared of her when she was angry after she thought he broke one of those rules.

As for the animation quality, I can understand some of the criticism that this series is getting, but I do think it's exaggerated as well. Overall, I think it's pretty good, although it can improve in some areas.

Umm...

He is nothing like Vash.

If anything he is a modern day Kenshin.

Sakamoto has a no killing rule? That's lame, even if it is a comedy. The show does remind me of One Punch Man a bit though (except that Saitama actually kills the monsters) and Rurouni Kenshin, because Kenshin doesn't kill any of the bad guys. Lu also doesn't seem to want to kill the person who annihilated her clan, including parents, either. Just beat him up and that's enough? At least there are bad guy characters that get killed by other bad guys in it, so it's not like nobody dies in it.

Oh, and that gag of Sakamoto killing Shin in his mind is overused and getting old already.

Surprised they skipped chapters 2 and 3 of the manga, but nothing too major skipped. Lu intro was good and not shocked they covered it in a single episode. Animation about the same here where impact frames are more slowed down instead of stills for impact, but it still lacks the fluid feeling of the action itself.

Honestly I like the artstyle quite a lot, reminds me of Mob Psycho and is pretty true to the manga.

Action scenes and direction are not crazy good but okay, some moments were awkward because they were copypasted from the manga instead of adapting them to the anime rhythm.


Some concepts are a bit too nuts (like the original? detail of the severed head gasping for air 😬) or the wife throwing herself in the void just to prove a point (wtf?).

I'm curious how things will play out with shin and the new characters that will come soon since I haven't read much of the manga.

Obviously Sakadays deserves it more than any other WSJ anime out there but things aren't even looking good for Sakadays!

The Director isn't even bother trying to be ambitious to give Sakadays something to look for, the Production of Sakadays looked disastrous from the looks of the credits in EP 2,

The backgrounds are so bad at times,
The comp isn't even helping it especially with the grainy filter being applied on everything!!

Both the EPs have more usage of Speedlines & wind effects just to show the "Impact" of Punches/kicks rather than actually showing it in the form of destruction that happens cuz of those punches and kicks!!

Is this going to be villain of the week or are we just in the side char introductory phase of the show? I hope it's the latter based on how much I have heard of this series.
