| art is butt, compositing is butt, animation is average n it’s a buns adaptation of a hype beast manga |
| IMO: - Dandadan's on more streaming services afaik. I believe both are on Netflix but only Dandadan is on Crunchyroll. - Dandadan has more "residual" hype. Dandadan's mangaka worked under/with Tatsuki Fujimoto and Dandadan got Science Saru to work on it. I don't think SakaDays has been done that poorly (albeit speaking from the perspective of someone who hasn't read Dandadan or SakaDays's mangas) but all I've heard since the studio was announced for SakaDays was if they were going to do the animation well or not. I never got that question for Dandadan. - Dandadan has That One Episode where people can point and say that it's really, really good. What can you point to for SakaDays other than the general anime? Not that you necessarily need That One Episode but it sure doesn't help that SakaDays doesn't have it. - While I think SakaDays's OP clears Dandadan's, Dandadan's is way more popular from what I've seen. I also don't think it can be left aside that Dandadan's cast is of conventionally attractive teenagers and a grandma who is... yeah. Sakamoto Days has one girl (I mean, there are more than one but only one in the main cast) and the old guy is a comedic blob. Dandadan's also explicitly a love polygon involving a nerdy MC while the MC in SakaDays is already married and Shin x Shaotang, if that comes to fruition, isn't nearly as explicit. |

| Huh? I didn’t realize D3 has become the standard for an adaptation of a SJ title. |

Yeah yeah boo hoo this isn’t a good adaptation like demon slayer or JJK or dandadan. I don’t understand why shonen adaptations nowadays needs to be that level of animation. People nowadays are too picky
| @CyberStar108 Or maybe shounen shows are just too lazy with their story and characters, if the only redeeming factor is the animation. |
| Should it be? Dandadan deliberately a surreal memetic show that you must hype and discuss. Sakamoto Days is more like new Spy X Family, which you calmly discuss with friends. |

It’s quite average, I don’t have the feeling being drawn to the screen. The episodes don’t rush by. A solid 7, maybe an 8.
With Dandadan I really got sucked in, episodes fly by. The Acrobatic Silky episode (s1e7) was next level, a really great episode pulling the show to a higher level on an emotional level. Haven’t seen that with Sakamoto

| @Quatzalian It's quite average but it's a 7? I also think it's average, a 5. Anyway, I'm personally enjoying it week by week but it will probably go forgotten when it stops airing by me. It's decent animation and action, but I feel very little ambition in the direction or creativity. There is little to no plot from what I gather and seems quite "enemy assassin of the week" so far. If it doesn't start introducing a plot before the season is over I'll drop it altogether I think. |

Instead it’s mid and forgettable in comparison. That’s much better right?
| @AfroWarrior27 yeah, I'd take mid and forgettable over flat out trash and boring any day. But that's just me. |
| DanDaDan kinda beats it in every way. Simple as that. |
| Besides the lack of marketing and production issues, Dandadan is just weird as hell. I think it is definitely more striking on a visual level than Sakamoto Days. |

| Aside from the most obvious problems of mediocre production value + Netflix' weird releases... Sakamoto doesn't have anyone like Momo or Seiko yet to be the main source of fanart. |

@ryzxgum Dandadan is so overrated it's insane.
| @The_Spectre_01 yeah i mean i'm a fan for sure, but it's definitely no second coming of jesus like some people here are treating it. |
 |
| i think its simply the animation and low budget. its depressing seeing some manga panel and see it in Anime. |
 |
| NO FAN SERVICE that's why that's so simple |

Sakamoto Days is more like Gintama and Dandadan is more like Naruto. Even if Sakamoto got the same level of promotion the shounen about teenagers tends to be more popular on western social media.

Sakamoto like Gintama… Bruh didn’t read the manga it seems
Confused_100 said: Sakamoto like Gintama… Bruh didn’t read the manga it seems I did read both manga. I meant it in that a guy who is in his 20's and has gone through a violent time period is the protagonist. He's got a new life now though and he's making friends and becoming a mentor. Every so often, his past life comes back to haunt him in some way and he can easily get pulled back into the violence, which is sometimes necessarily. Obviously Sakamoto Days isn't a 1:1 comparison to Gintama but they are very similar in terms of some situations. |
| probably because its an entirely different show! why would it have to be the next of something. |
| Sakamoto Days didn't do well because the animation quality was poor, it strayed from the manga, and the pacing was off. Dandadan succeeded because it had a unique blend of genres, strong character development, and perfect timing. |

| 3 reasons. The anime adaptation is nowhere close to DDD's. Everything from direction to animation is very basic and mediocre. Even someone who knows nothing about the manga or the fan's complains will notice this. The anime just does not feel like something special, it feels like seasonal slop that you will forget existed b next year. Something like Blue Lock can survive shit adaptation since the first season was a lot more competent and the anime already had captured people's interests. But since SD has just started, there is no way it will manage the same. The manga readers hated it from the trailers itself and no anime fans are going to look at this and think it is one of the best shows of the season. Secondly, there was little to no promotion of the anime. While DDD was being heavily promoted not just by the manga readers but even all the streaming platforms, SD barely had any promotions from streaming platforms side and manga readers were actively shitting on every trailer drop, making even more anime onlys to stay away. Even now, with every anime episode that airs, more and more manga readers lament just how bad of an adaptation it is and try to get anime viewers to stop watching and switch to manga. That sort of behavior is never going to lead to a big anime fanbase. And finally, as a story, SD has a very slow start compared to something like DDD. I'm not too far into the manga so this is just from what I've heard, but the truly goated parts of the manga will only come up in cour 2 or even maybe only in a future season 2. This is why it is being compared to SpyXFamily so much by the anime community and the comedy is being discussed so much more than the action, which is supposed to be the big thing that made it one of the new big 3 in modern shonen jump titles. Compare that to DDD, which literally hit the floor running and didn't let go any time in the 12 episodes that aired, and you'll see why people were discussing that show so much more than this. |

@Dukino Wrong on every level, this show literally only has one truly great character so far. Dandadan nearly every character in that show is memorable and likable than this.
Please.
Please.
| @AfroWarrior27 nah, that's a lie. as a fan of the manga- okarun, momo, aira, granny turbo, silky and seiko are the only memorable/likable characters in the entire manga almost 200 chapters in. everyone else is either unmemorable or unlikable. |
