Sakamoto desu ga?

I made a video: you can find it at my YouTube channel "BasementOtaku"

Video Script:
Haven’t You Heard? I’m Sakamoto (9/10): Woh! A 9 out of 10?! If you want to know more about my rating system check the video description. Now it is time to fumble over my words as I begin a potentially spoiler filled review.

Words can very easily describe “Haven’t You Heard? I’m Sakamoto,” but the experience is something else entirely. The show has a fairly basic premise, attractive high schooler acts cool and people are jealous of him, and from watching Handa-kun this season I have learned that, that premise, while funny, ... can’t lift a show to Sakamoto’s heights. What makes Sakamoto so great is that most everything Sakamoto does is not cool, in fact, it is downright crazy most of the time, but the best part about it all is that he does it with such conviction that those around him find it cool. It is a show that shows confidence can mean everything, but it takes it one step further and addresses more serious issues. Characters end up disliking Sakamoto because he represents something they are lacking, whether that is principal, hard work, or escapism Sakamoto not only points out their flaws but helps to correct them. What truly made this show a 9 rather than an 8 was the last four episodes. The issues characters were struggling with resurfaced and Sakamoto assisted them in finally putting them to rest. The final few minutes of the last episode had me in tears, as the class was saying goodbye to Sakamoto I knew I was as well, and their heartfelt farewell along with the uncertainty of the future was a truly touching sentiment. Also, Sakamoto is totally an alien. I called it in episode two after he said his “investigation was a success.” This idea was further strengthened by his interest in NASA and how he assists others in odd ways and displays inhuman physical abilities. Then at the end Sakamoto is called out for not actually leaving school to go work for NASA by the blond school thug and Sakamoto replies “I have no idea what you mean,” dodging the question. I love this show, and I hope many others are able to share in the joy that is Sakamoto.

Cool -> Cooler -> Coolest -> Swagmoto

Story:
Sakamoto is the coolest and most capable guy in the history of mankind...that's basically it. Every episode gives us a glimpse of how awesome this guy it. If you think this premse will run stale pretty quickly, be reassured, it does not. Not every story is top notch, but this anime has so many ideas that you will be entertained most of the time.
9/10

Art:
Sakamoto is a pretty boy, but everybody else is pretty...pretty (I should have used a thesaurus there) as well. Except for Kubota and his mother, they are just disgusting, but that's the point of their characters. ... In general, this anime looks very good, but the focus is clearly on the characters.
9/10

Sound:
The opening is good, the ending works as well. I really loved that piece of music that plays every time Sakamoto does something amazing. The voices are all very stereotype, but that's part of the charm.
8/10

Characters:
Did I mention already just how awesome Sakamoto is? Because he's awesome. Somehow he manages to overshadow everybody else without coming off as a jerk. The other characters do what they are supposed to, the only one who kinda stands out a little is Hayabusa. Oh, and Fujita is a sweetie.
7/10

Enjoyment:
As I mentioned, not every story is a hit, but most of them are. Sakamotos antics are always hilarious and incredible to witness. I'm not sure if they would have been able to keep this up for more than 12/13 episodes though. But for a weekly dose, it was absolutely worth it.
8/10

Overall:
8.2/10

"Sakamoto desu ga?" Is an anime I didn't really enjoy watching, but it also wasn't something that I needed to avert my eyes to.

First off, there isn't any real plot to begin with, it's just Sakamoto's every day habits with the thoughts of the people involved in it, and it only gets interesting after an episode introducing a "villain" whereas, ploys to "annihilate" our Stylish MC.

This is an anime that will really make you laugh at some point, the comedy is worth a watch, some conflicts are easily predictable and how the whole thing delivers is a bit generic, bad person realizes mistake, and Sakamoto ... knew all along.

One thing that I clearly love about this anime is most definitely, Sakamoto's way of dealing with problems, not only does he resolve them well, but he resolves them "Stylish"-ly. As to what I hate, is how the supporting characters wrap stuff up, consider it as a "Sakamoto Syndrome" but I most definitely expected something better.

Overall, this is an anime you can watch if you really RAN OUT of good animes to watch, but put in mind that is is also something you can't watch half-heartedly, some moments are actually good and worth your 25 minutes of viewing. In more words or less, "Sakamoto desu ga?" Is just another mainstream anime that got a lot of attention because it was "funny", so you should watch it if you WANT to.

I thought it will be just an easy anime, comedy but after I saw all episodes I found this anime really amazing, everyone can watch this anime just for fun and many times.

I just fall inlove with Sakamoto because of the cosmos and this why I rated this anime on 10, and this why its outstanig masterpiece for me.

This anime has also moral for everyone, the moral says that you can find friends everywhere and not to fight everytime with all the people on the earth. This anime is too good for us humans to understand how life can be interesting not with fighting, this ... anime shows us how life can be really good.

Thank you for this anime and hope for "to be continue" ^_^ :)

Sakamoto is a very interesting anime. The premise, him being very cool and flawless can limit the content but reading the manga (where it is more explicitly implied) and in the anime, where it is less explicitly implied, the hidden meaning behind every episode and it explains why he is portrayed as "flawless and cool".
(Anyone interested in knowing the "true meaning" behind the anime can read the last episode discussion forum and find out and the theory is not very far fetched, it's entirely plausible.)

So once you watch the series (and read the manga if you wanted to) and read the theory, the anime ... you just finished becomes something very beautiful and a heartwarming series. It explores some psychological aspects too especially regarding life in high school and switch to uni/college.

Sakamoto becomes a person, an idea, a teacher.

After all this seriousness, this anime is still very entertaining to watch and would highly recommend it to anyone who wants to watch anime, to pass time and/or enjoy a genuinely well written adapted anime.

Sakamoto desu ga?

Need an Anime cliche guy? Hair in the wind and sparkling? Here he is!

*Story: Well its really fun to watch but you should notice that this Anime isn´t taking itself to seriously.
*Art: Its funny how certain scenes keep appearing. But that isn´t an actual problem! It makes some scenes even funnier!
*Sound: What else should I say: Cool, cooler, coolest!
*Character: The main character unites nearly every cliche of the "perfect, sparkly, girl loved" Anime guy. The ones acting with him are certain characters you ... find at every school (maybe you´ll find yourself too!)
*Enjoyment: Easy to watch but I recommend to enjoy it with a friend!

I really liked this Anime and would recommend it! \ (^-^) /

Everything Sakamoto desu ga stands for is beautifully exectuted within the standard amount of 12 episodes. The story is depicting a not-so-average high school student by the name of Sakamoto.
Sakamoto excels at everything he does and his surroundings are either absolutely taken away by it or hating his guts for it - both ways lead to interesting and funny plot twists throughout the story!
Frankly speaking, I have never ever laughed so much watching anime. The story development is all about simple process consisting of just as simple but yet interesting and very humorous events that slowly lead up to the end of the ... series. Not only did the anime get everything it wanted done perfectly but digging deeper into the background of the ending brings up a whole new light upon the surface of the unique anime series Sakamoto desu ga.

To keep this review spoiler-free I won't talk about the ending much more but definitely search it up on Google after you're done watching it.

Just as I enjoyed the story I, at least equally, enjoyed the art, sound and characters! Sakamoto desu ga seems to be indirectly poking fun at the other typical high school anime characters and behaviour which can truly be hilarious from time to time to realise. The creators weren't afraid of taking any risks. Sakamoto desu ga is the anime that says "we don't give a damn, we do what we want" which perfectly reflects at the usual exaggeration at many situations from Sakamoto's surroundings, unexpected twists which Sakamoto naturally handles all flawlessly.

I loved to watch this anime and I definitely do recommend it!

Sakamoto desu ga? is such an underrated comedy. It could have easily been overlooked by me but after I saw Konosuba from Studio Deen I was really into watching their comedies. Sakamoto desu ga? did not dissapoint. It is a string of vignettes about the coolest guy in school. It's such a simple concept but the absurdist humor is what drew me in. The senarios where Sakamoto can be embarassed and how he saves himself by making it look cool is absolutely hilarious. Some vignettes are better than others that's for sure but there is so much charm that I really enjoyed it thuroughly. It's ... goofy and silly but I enjoyed that. A great example of the absurdity is that a ghost pushes a mop bucket with a mop in it to Sakomoto to hit him. He jumps in the air and lands in it and begins riding it down the hallway looking cool as ever. While everyone is amazed at him and calling it a Segway scooter, even though it's a mop and bucket he's riding. It's shit like that, that's simple yet well executed and works well as a stupid joke but when watching it, it's very funny. MY friends and I saw the first episode together and were laughing so hard we had to pause the show. It was really something fun to watch and laugh with other people. Overall if you overlooked this show I wouldn't be surprised. Check it out if you have the taste for some ridiculous comedy hopefully you'll find enjoyment in it's absurdity.

Story:[7/10]
It is nothing special,just a story about a perfect role model who makes every one fall in love with him.This score was given for the unpredictable moments.I also like to note that the character was flawless and had the ambition to prove to everyone his superiority which for some may be boring but I appreciated it.I also liked how each episode had 1,2 or sometimes 3 different stories collected and put together for one episode,it is a rare thing to see this type of construction in an episode and all they had in common were the characters and that they remembered ,in the end all ... they have done.
Art:[8/10]
The art was beautiful to some extent.I liked to see all sorts of situations and places put in an anime style.
Sound:[6/10]
I liked the intro and the ending music but I can't say otherwise I was very much impressed by what they choose.
Character:[10/10]
The perfectionist,the devil wears prada type of character,the protagonist had a great sense of humor and a great chance to evolve and I think his year and experience was altered by his classmates.I liked that we had most of the high school types of characters and not just good looking characters,but also delinquents and the model-comedian type who added to the story.I also thought it was quite original how a student's mother was in love with our protagonist but was also weird.
Enjoyment:[9/10]
Overall I enjoyed it even if it was repetitive at times and the jokes sometimes were flat.I liked it as I said in my story description because we saw all sorts of environments and were thought a little more about the culture of Japan.

I have to say I did really enjoy this anime. This is the first anime I've completed in a few years now, though to be fair, that doesn't say much because I haven't watched anime since 2012 and even some of what I consider to be my favorite animes of all time I never actually bothered to finish to the end.

I wouldn't recommend it for people looking for a real story line or any real character development, since the show runs with the idea of Sakamoto being perfect and sticks with it throughout, but if you're looking for a pretty light hearted comedic anime ... for the purpose of being just that, you'll get quite some laughs out of it. The show is truly unique though, nonetheless, though I feel like it weighs in just a bit on certain anime stereotypes that work for it.

I personally consider it a favorite of mine in the comedy genre. No, it's not the most memorable anime and not amongst some of the best, but it is highly enjoyable and different and for someone such as myself who is only just now kinda-sorta-maybe getting back into anime, it's good enough.

There's also a very interesting and popular theory surrounding the ending and why Sakamoto is the way he is that I won't go into depth about as it may potentially spoil something.

This was a incredible anime, it's strange, because this is the definition of a gary stu anime, the main character is perfect, never makes mistakes, and nothing bad ever happens to him unless it makes him look better to do so. And oddly thatch why I love it, I mentioned in my Tanaka-kun is always listless that there were two anime that were polar opposite, and this is the other half.

Were always told not to make a Gary Stu or Mary Sue and to try to avoid it, but it works here because it's so entertaining, he does everything with this perfect ... flair and style that you can't help but love it. And that is what makes this anime good to me, it's a series of episodes with two stories in most of them, just enough to give you what you want in each one without over staying their welcome.

But what also works with the anime is that every character in the series is entertaining too in their own ways, and they work with Moussaka and grow up with him.

Over all this was a good series, I'm hope there will be a second season, but we know how often anime like this don't get it, so while it would be disappointing it's understandable.

I give this anime a hearty 10 out of 10, it seems odd and maybe the anime is like a gary stu itself but I never found any real faults with it.

It is a slow start anime. The first episodes are cringy and a little bit unsatisfying to watch with the notion that it is a gag anime; but latter episodes recovered the anime from the brink of despair with better pacing, story, and new characters. Thus, if you haven't enjoyed this anime's earlier episodes, give the next episodes a chance, I guarantee that you'll have at least a few laughs.

Story

There is very little over arching story in this anime, instead it maybe seen a compilation of the best of Sakamoto's nichijou/ everyday life.

Characters

Characters are simple, yet compelling to watch, especially as the series went on.

... Sound

Personally, I think the OP and ED songs don't suit the anime. Although, the instrumental background music for punchlines salvage the quality of sound choice.

If not for the slow start, this would have been at least 9.

Calling Sakamoto Desu Ga a comedic masterpiece would be an understatement, not to mention trite on my part, so I’ll call it what it is: Sakamoto is a poignant comedic melodrama that not only makes you laugh often, but also packs an outstanding final moral that retains its comedic impact, but also refrains from sounding preachy.

At the same time Sakamoto develops side characters, whilst balancing consistently funny surreal comedy that not only does the aforementioned development of characters, but also criticizes the Gary Stu archetype.

In short, I enjoyed this show quite a bit, no that’s wrong, I loved it. But, it had a ... few issues, more on that later.

1.) Story.

Sakamoto is nothing mind-blowing or intricate, it won’t alter your perception of humanity or give you some astounding revelation that will change you forever. Rather, Sakamoto works as an episodic comedy with continuity.

Most of the comedy boils down to Swagamoto (I saw this name in another review, credit to whomever wrote it) being impossibly perfect, and due to this perfection some dunce(s) decides to outdo Swagamoto but ultimately gets defeated. That is Sakamoto in its entirety.

Without visual accompaniment I can’t thoroughly describe Sakamoto’s brand of comedy without saying, “Crazy shit happens, and it’s obvious that the animators had loads of fun breaking the laws of physics, via Swagamoto’s undeniable swagger.”

While this act remains funny throughout, some of Swagamoto’s antics can get tiring-seriously, what was up with Swagomoto constantly manipulating air?-especially when the punchline never changes. It can get boring admittedly, chiefly in the intermittent episodes (7 and 8 I think?).

Nonetheless, it still remained interesting. I smiled at the secondary characters, and still enjoyed the majority of these ‘boring’ episodes.
So, I award Sakamoto a solid 8/10 for story, only deducting two points for some repetitive humor, and the same punchline being recycled.

2.) Characters.

By far the most incredible thing about Sakamoto is humanizing its secondary characters. Unfortunately, this depth cannot be extended to Swagamoto himself, which, honestly is ok, that’s the joke anyway! He’s unbelievably perfect, and I wouldn’t have it any other way.

With Swagamoto himself constantly giving life lessons, or bolstering a classmate’s confidence I thought for sure, “Ok, they’re going to pull in new retards each episode to look dumb for laughs. Got it.” But, no, that’s not the case. Sakamoto utilizes the same characters, giving them arcs and the needed depth to keep an anime afloat.

There was a certain amount of intimacy I felt with these secondary characters due to their humanity.

For Sakamoto’s characters I award a 9/10, deducting one point for Swagamoto’s character, or rather, lack thereof. Not saying Swagamoto himself isn’t a good character! Just that he lacks humanity.

3.) Art.
Impressive, very impressive, minimal frame stutters, and appropriate usage of still-frames. It’s a pet-peeve of mine for an anime to constantly use still-frames, so I was happy with the animator’s restraint on using still-frames.

Never once in this anime was anything an eyesore, colors blended and fused nicely, characters looked proportionate, and the animation had fluidity to it.
However, there was the occasional animation stutter, and in episode 9 I think (?) certain character’s had jarring micro arms, very unsettling.

Character designs were also fantastic, props to whoever designed Swagamoto. He is an unbelievable caricature of every anime Gary Stu ever conceived. From his physicality to his demeanor, Swagamoto is an amalgam of every awful anime protagonist. Amplified by 10,000,000, then allowed to simmer in his swag.

For art, I award Sakamoto an 8/10, deducting two points for those disturbing micro arms, and stutters.

4.) Sound.
Probably the most underwhelming aspect of Sakamoto is its music, specifically its reliance on Sakamoto’s theme, and a (funny) melancholic theme. Both are rather good pieces, setting the tone for scenes, but were used with such frequency that I grew tired of hearing the same notes.

Couldn’t they have, I don’t know, at least altered segments of the music for the sake of variety?

With that being said, I award Sakamoto a 7/10 for music, deducting three points for the repetition of these themes. You’ll find yourself laughing at these themes for the first four episodes, but soon after you will be annoyed.

5.) Enjoyment.
Personally, this is the funniest anime I’ve ever seen. This isn’t hyperbole, I’m not fanboying. This is the comedy to watch for the summer season.

As someone who has watched loads of disappointing comedic anime that began promising but sizzled into nothing, Sakamoto is refreshing in its consistency of comedy.

I, subjectively, award Sakamoto a 9/10. Deducting only 1 point for the intermittent episode’s being slower than their predecessors and successors.

6.) Overall.

Watch this anime if you enjoy comedy, specifically surreal comedy that works in the realm of nonsense. If you respect comedy as an art form I suggest watching Sakamoto.

Sakamoto Desu Ga.

Sounds weird right? Sounds like someone's full name or something that just doesn't click to us non-Japanese speaking viewers and yet this anime is very slice of life -like. To be honest it looks far too fashionable for what it seems on the google images. Dare I even say, it looks like an anime purely based for individuals who like slim, slender, elegant, glasses-wearing boys and yet this anime is what I dreamt to be when I was in school.

Lets get down to the basics oh this anime: The story revolves around the main character (who happens to be presented in the ... title) Sakamoto. We follow Sakamoto on this story of his daily life in high school and how he "tackles" the typical issues that occurs in said school. Now this is not much of a spoiler but Sakamoto is the coolest guy in the entire school. How do we know this, well in most episodes there is a ten second introduction where a very aged and experienced narrator takes his time to sit you down and just softly mention to you that Sakamoto is not only cool, but also cooler and coolest. This by itself is enough to take an interest in what this narrator has to show and that is only the first ten seconds of the actual anime.

So what got me interested in this anime? Am I one of those individuals that I mentioned previously? Nope. What caught my attention was a single .Gif image where we see Sakamoto sitting on the open window sill after seeing his school desk and chair missing. The hooking part was when Sakamoto took his place at the window sill and the wind elegantly brushes his hair to revel the sophistication of this mysterious character who is Sakamoto. And if this is not enough to capture your attention, the stunning awe is reflected back onto the entire classes reaction as you can see the girls fall in love and the boys also falling in love and, or being jealous of the situation. To think this short five-ten second .Gif was enough for me to try out the first episode and I am so glad that I did.

From this point, the story tells us about Sakamoto and his interactions with each character to show us how suave, resourceful and gentleman-like Sakamoto really is and how we can either fall in love with him too or aspire to be like him.

So would I recommend this anime? Yes, if everything you have read previous to this has appealed to you. Or if you're interested in watching an anime which has comedic value, relatable scenes or able to take an anime which could be possible in the real world but is highly unlikely. At the very least I would recommend that you try at least one episode as the anime is a change of pace from most other animes, including the ones in its own genre.

Happy watching.

This anime is fun to watch and is very amusing. All the episodes have their own kind of feel, and the jokes never run out. The main character, Sakamoto, is “overpowered” in a different sense. I would recommend this to you if you want to find something absurdly hilarious. If it turns out that you love this anime, you should also try watching Danshi Koukousei no Nichijou.
A word of notice, the ending of this series brings up a lot of questions and speculations. Being overly keen and observant will not give you any clear answers. Reading the manga does ... not help either. Be ready for a shocker when you watch the season finale.

Swagamoto is one a several anime, from the past few seasons, digging anime back from the depths of the grave it had dropped itself into.

The stories are simplistic enough and quirky enough to keep your attention and let the characters shine. With only a handful of returning characters, each one of them are likable and unique and play very well off of each other. This show doesn't take itself too seriously and loves to play by the rule of cool, which I admire.

Sakamoto himself is OP and knows it, and so does everyone else. This doesn't keep things boring, though. Watching all of the ... inventive ways he pulls off stunts and gets things done never fails to put a smile on my face as I cheer him on. And the always perfectly timed theme puts the right amount of energy into every scene.

The simplicity of the story and the humor really gives works in the favor of the show. You never go in expecting to much and are pleasantly surprised when the show throws you a curveball. The side characters act as great foils for Sakamoto as he stylishly makes his way through life, leaving them crashing in his wake of glory.

Overall Swagamoto gets a 9/10 in my book. It's trash, but it's some one of the best I've seen recently.

(If you're looking for a different sense of ridiculous comedy, and some outrageous scenarios then this is for you!)

♥ Story ♥ : The story is mediocre. The story is of the popular boy Sakamoto whom changes his classmates lives with the way he handles situations in a cool manner. There isn't much to be developed upon that. The characters don't get much development either, it's just: normal classmates + delinquents + Sakamoto.

♥ Art ♥ : The art is fair. The art style is very clean and nice shaded. The art style doesn't really have any "cool" or noticeable characteristics that would make you remember ... the animation style though.

♥ Sound ♥ : The sound is very good. The normal lounge music is very soothing and relaxing and it fits Sakamoto character. The music is rather memorable and is of good quality. The voice actors are rather diverse and their voice work is sound as well. I just would have expected more lines out of Sakamoto overall.

♥ Enjoyment ♥ : I enjoyed Sakamoto Desu Ga? because of the ridiculous comedy, and the fact that you never know what is going to happen. I am also a comedy + slice of life fan so you can consider me pretty bias.

That's all for this review. Have a nice day! :)

"Every move he makes is.... Cool! Cooler! Coolest!"

It's no secret that everyone, even those who think they're perfect, has at least one flaw, but to every rule (although it's not really a rule), there's always an exception. Who is that exception? Could it be a certain high school boy with glasses and a mole under his left eye? I've known of the manga that contains such a person for a while now, and when an anime adaptation was announced, I decided to check it out. All I've got to say is, "It was fun while it lasted."

Haven't you heard, ladies and gentlement, of Sakamoto? Good, ... because I'm reviewing "Haven't You Heard? I'm Sakamoto", known in Japanese as "Sakamoto desu ga?"

Haven't You Heard? I'm Sakamoto centers around Swagamoto - er, I mean, Sakamoto - a high school student who is basically the "perfect human". There's nothing he can't do, and he's got good looks, too. Needless to say, he instantly wins the hearts of girls and the jealousy of boys. Even in a tight situation, he emerges from said situation with elegance, grace, and, dare I say it, swag. Basically, this anime follows the (mis)adventures of Swagamoto - dang it, WHY CAN'T I SAY SAKAMOTO PROPERLY - and his classmates throughout his first year of high school.

The first thing about this anime I'd like to take note of is its animation. I've seen a decent amount of anime from Studio Deen, but this has to be some of the best animation I've seen from them, with some decent character designs to go with it. The voice acting is pretty solid, too, especially Hikaru Midorikawa as Sakamoto; his voice adds to Sakamoto's coolness. The ending theme, "Nakushita Hibi no Sayonara" by Suneohair, is a pretty beautiful song, but I personally loved the opening theme, "COOLEST" by Customi Z, even more. Pardon the incoming pun, but it's a really COOL song! ....Moving on.

The story of this anime is pretty episodic, and they always seem to end with Sakamoto staying on top of things. It can get a bit repetitive at times, but luckily, this anime does shake things up a bit and keep it fresh. There are more funny and amusing moments than there are not, and I would either find myself grinning or laughing at times. As for the characters, some are likable, while some are characters I didn't care much for. If there was a character I had to pick as my favorite, it's Acchan; the fact that he's voiced by one of my favorite seiyuus aside, he was given a good amount of development.

To tell you the truth, though, a major deciding factor of whether or not you can enjoy this anime is the likability of the main character, Sakamoto. The main point of this anime is that he has no flaws; a character with no flaws is considered a "Gary-Stu". If you can overlook that, Sakamoto actually turns out to be a very interesting character. He always kept others' best interests in mind, and he turned some cliches on its head; those two factors kept me interested in his character. Sakamoto is also quite an enigma; I couldn't help but ask questions about who he actually is, especially toward the end.

Haven't you heard? "Haven't You Heard? I'm Sakamoto" is an enjoyable anime that I would recommend to anyone in the mood for a "cool" comedy. Anyone who watches this will know of the antics of Swagamoto!

"Everything he does is COOL! COOLER! COOLEST!"

Sakamoto is the perfect student. He is popular, handsome, intelligent, and everything else. He is the one everyone wanna be. Keep in mind that this is a comedy, it doesn't take the story seriously, after all it's just a story about a perfect guy.

STORY - 4/10

Even if this anime focuses on comedy, it still needs a story. Well, the story is NOT the point in this show. It's just as it is, nothing more, nothing less. If you're looking for an anime with a great story and turnabouts, watch Steins;Gate, because Sakamoto Desu Ga? is NOT for you.

ART - ... 8/10

One of the best points in this show! The style here is awesome! Well, if it will make you laugh, at least it will not be for being poorly done.

SOUND - 8/10

The sound and the soundtrack is pretty good here. It's consistent and present everytime. The songs fits perfectly with the moment, it's happy when it has to be and sad when it has to be.

CHARACTER - 10//10

GIVE THIS A 10 OUTTA 10!! The characters in this anime are really, and I mean REALLY, AWESOME! Every character has a backstory and something unique with them. Not something you will remember here on 10 years, but something well done! This is the most important part in a comedy show.

ENJOYMENT - 9/10

I enjoyed my time watching Sakamoto Desu Ga?. It was really fun and sometimes I got myself laughing hard in some parts of this show. It's so fun, I remember every single joke and I still laugh every single time I heard them in this show, just like Soul Eater.

OVERALL - 7/10

I recommend this to everyone looking for an anime focused on comedy. If you wanna a well-written story with turnabouts and things like this, this anime is not for you.

So cool, so cool. He is the coolest character. From washing plates to molding flour to everything you could ever imagine, he does all of it in the coolest way possible. Ladies-no, even males get enamored by this man's coolness it's so unfair! How could such a human being exist? No, wait, is he even human? Whatever his identity is, one thing's for sure. He's the one and only coolest guy that you will ever see in your entire life. What?! Who the heck am I talking about?! Haven't you heard about him?! I'm talkin' about SAKAMOTO!

Sakamoto desu ga is an anime adapted from ... a manga by Sano. I read a few chapters of it back then when it was still on its early stage and I found myself interested but a little disappointed due to the fact that the manga releases were quite few some years ago. And now it has become an anime and having seen that title, I immediately remembered and thought "Wohooo...It's SAKAMOTO!" except not! I wasn't really surprised given that I have read some of the manga chapters already and I found myself enjoying it at that time so adaptation was kind of imminent and hey, let's give this show a try and see if it'll manage to live up to my expectations(which were slightly above normal) and I needed some fun in my life anyway after so much depression Undertale caused me(ye ye I'm a pansy and take games seriously). So with that, I started watching Sakamoto desu ga. Each episode contained two to three story sections and Sakamoto's the star,like always, which wasn't bad because I have to admit, he was truly a cool and a likeable guy but perhaps that's just what my girl hormones is trying to make me feel, anyway, he was so cool and so funny in everything he does that I always find myself laughing already even just upon hearing that goofy cool Sakamoto theme song that's played whenever he was now about to show an absurdly, ridiculous yet cool "technique" to end a problem in a very neat and again, a very cool way. Surely, you have noticed that I used the word "cool" excessively but I have to put so much emphasis to that because that's the point! You should watch this show just to see how COOL Sakamato is. Anyway, it's still early for you to get convinced so I will now further enhance my skills to GENUINELY convince you to watch it. Ehermm...You must be thinking that Sakamoto's only quality is his coolness...well, you're right, that could be his only quality but I have to say now, Sakamoto has become the star of the show only because of the strong supporting cast and add to that his coolness and Sakamoto desu ga truly became such an entertaining show that combined everything from comedy to little drama to some bittersweet romance - it was really a fun ride overall. Music department, hoho, proved to be quite commendable as well which I realized maybe too late? Anyway, about EXACTLY halfway of the show, I took notice of the variety of instruments used on the BGMs and they were handled greatly, not that I'm a music hardcore fan, but I really found myself getting carried away by the arrangement and the scene made an even more impact to me than that in the manga. And since I'm a piano fan, I also fell in love with the piano theme BGMs which thankfully, were quite a handful. And to ignore the supporting casts would be an act of heresy so I'll now tell you how amazing these people were and how they managed to be so likeable like the protagonist of the show. To make it clear and to avoid excessive spoilers, I'll just mention some few characters which I won't say if they're the best supporting casts or not. That's for you to figure out once you watch the show. So first we have Aina Kuronuma, a cute,conniving, seductive girl that likes Sakamoto, actually, almost everybody likes Sakamoto but that's not what I'm trying to say. Given her characteristics, it was pretty much obvious that this girl is the type that acts all cutesy but beneath that veil lies an evil intent and you are correct. She really is a little bit of a sweet yet evil girl trope. Still, what's wrong with adding some ugliness? That's what humans are and the show never did shy away about the dark realities of life which made for an even enganging situation. Course', Sakamoto Desu ga is not a dark, depressing show. So the characters will change from being a very despising person to a slightly less atrocious human being in the blink of an eye but the way it was done - it all felt natural. And with each last few minutes of each episodes, I found myself smiling telling to myself how Sakamoto ended everything so neatly and so heartwarmingly again. And again, with each few last minutes of each episode, the supporting casts were given some great character developments that I can't help but feel satisfied every week back when it was still ongoing. Yeah, also noone could ever forget Acchan(actually forgot his real name) - an "uke" ,hrm, clearly he's a freakin' fujoshi bait! I have to admit he was a very funny guy and I can't help but pair him up with Sakamoto and Hayabusa or whatever and I must add, he's voiced by Gintoki's VA. Ahg, an eargasmic voice he has....OK.. Sorry, this is digressing too much. Anyway, Acchan was a delinquent and Sakamoto straightened him up. That will happen in the first episode so spoiled you there, but really, how Sakamoto changed him was what really mattered as it's golden. It's really funny remembering that scene what with the ridiculousness of Sakamoto's antics, they just never grow old even if you had anticipated it. The animation also did its job well. Cool, just like Sakamoto.

Sakamoto Desu ga was truly an entertaining show. It was ridiculously hilarious, well deserved of its genre, and offers a variety of gags to keep it fresh even until the last episode. Impressively done cute dramas that never felt forced and heartwarming conclusions to every problems that arise in every episodes coupled with loveable casts truly make for a nice heartfelt experience that I haven't felt since a long time in my life. So surely you've heard it clearly now, how COOL Sakamoto really is.
