Sakamoto Days teaser worries fans for one particular reason

As a long-time fan of Weekly Shonen Jump mangas and a connoisseur of anime adaptations, I must admit that the latest teaser for Sakamoto Days has left me with a peculiar mix of anticipation and apprehension. The story itself is captivating – a former hitman leading a peaceful life, only to be dragged back into his dark past. However, the animation quality seems to have stirred up quite a storm among the community.


In the latest teaser for Sakamoto Days anime, viewers have expressed concern about a shared issue. Here’s a breakdown of the situation.

Sakamoto Days is a widely-read Weekly Shonen Jump manga chronicling the everyday life of an ex-assassin named Taro Sakamoto. Having abandoned his dangerous past, Taro now enjoys married life and parenthood. Unfortunately, his tranquil existence is disrupted when an ominous price is put on his head, resurfacing his old adversaries.

In the continuation of the tale, Taro teams up with fresh companions on a quest to uncover the true identity of the pursuer dogging his steps. This captivating anime series, produced by TMS Entertainment Studio, is set to premiere in January 2025.

The studio unveiled sneak peeks featuring the lead character Sakamoto, along with several notable sidekicks such as Nagumo, Shishiba, and Osaragi. Notably, all these characters were once fellow associates of Taro within their order.

On Twitter/X, a widely followed account posts character previews with a casual disclaimer, “You might want to set your expectations remarkably low, if I’m being honest.

Fans find the animation quality less impressive, and many have conflicting feelings about the art style, which appears less creative compared to earlier previews. In fact, most fans openly voice their dissatisfaction. One fan even comments, “Wow, there’s absolutely nothing remarkable here.

Another viewer expresses disappointment with the quality of the animation, stating it appears average and questioning why it’s not produced by well-known studios such as Mappa, Bones, Madhouse, or A1 Pictures. They seem to have low hopes for this adaptation.

A third fan supports, “It’s insane how spoiled people are in the comments. This looks decent. It’s nothing groundbreaking regarding animation, but it will still be a good watch. They act like it’s Blue Lock lmao.”
