If it remains as good as its initial two episodes, Sakamoto Days will be yet another title to join the wave of excellent stories that Japanese creators have been bringing to audiences.

There’s an infectious chemistry between its characters, despite neither the Japanese nor English dub casts making a strong first impression. However, its premiere episode is held back by a slow-burn start, a confused tone, and a lackluster translation of its source material’s panache and artistry.

Un anime que me sorprendió la verdad, una historia muy original y sin relleno.

Very great the animation feels smooth, and the show does a really good job with making the cast enjoyable even with my least favorite characters they felt important and interesting for the storyline. Great watch.

I’m feeling an Odd Couple vibe pockmarked with extreme cartoon violence, which leaves me indifferent. Maybe it deserves another episode or two before we dismiss it, but it feels like only fans of the manga will hang on to compare and contrast this with the source material.

Sakamoto is a legendary hitman. No hit man can out matched him . But Sakamoto ended up falling in love with a girl named Aoi . After 5 years . They got married and have a daughter named Hana . And they own a convenience store . One day, one of Sakamoto fromer partners, Shin . Is sent to eliminate Sakamoto. But when he understood why Sakamoto quit being a Hitman. He ended up working with Sakamoto in his shop . Soon later a girl named Lu whose father is a Chinese triad leader . She ended up working for Sakamoto . And we found out later . There is a huge bounty on Sakamoto's head. Sakamoto is going to defeat anyone who is going to harm his family and employees. This was a pretty good anime adaptation . From a pretty manga . The fight was well executed . And it does remind me of when. Spy X family went all out in its fight scene . And if you are a fan of the Spy x family. You would 100 percent enjoy this series . Since it will crave your appetite . The fight moment in the show was well executed . The music was pretty good . Same with the gag moment . And when it needs to be serious. Now this anime removes four chapters from when it started . And when season 1 ended Due to airing 11 episodes. And the chapter was removed was chapter 2,3 ,16 and 33 . Well they did keep a few pages from chapter 2 in its second episode . And few in another episode. So what did they remove? chapter 2 Aoi went up for some groceries shopping. And soon after the bus she is on is a high jack. Chapter 3 is a follow up to the event of chapter 2 . Chapter 16 Hana is about to start school and she wants a limited edition backpack. Sakamoto and Shin have to fight off shoppers which reminds me of watching black Friday videos . And chapter 33 is where Sakamoto and Aoi are on a romantic date . Which assassins tried to ruin their date. So this is on Netflix you actually get weekly releases. But they are one week after it airs. Japan . So what is the point of having Netflix where a third site already has it up . And don't say they need time . One that already works on the sub and dub advice .

This show has the quality of those old Cartoon Network Shows like Dexter's Laboratory, Samurai Jack, etc. I haven't watched a show that has given me that feeling in a long time, where it's High quality and the writers aren't afraid to play with ideas even if they don't make sense. The only problem I see with this show is that, just like all anime these days, it is short, and it makes me want more and more. But overall, it is well-written and well-paced, and a show I'd gladly watch every week... 9/10, almost perfect, and honestly one of the better animes on Netflix. I'd watch a full movie if they made one. Edit: Wait, that's it. Where's the Rest of it, -1. Revised 8/10
