| Starting with a flashback—I like the animation in this show. Tarou falling in love at first sight and then settling down with her is so romantic. But the fact that he tries to avoid pointless killing whenever possible says a lot about his character. Shin is an interesting one too. He came to kill the very person he admires, but after eating Aoi’s cooking, he understood why Tarou left his life as an assassin. Sacrificing himself so Tarou could stay off the radar—he’s earned my utmost respect. That scene with Shin banging his head on the steering wheel, making the car move, was hilarious. And the mother covering her son's eyes, thinking it was a "dancing car"—easily the funniest moment for me! |

| What a badass way to start a series, retired hitman goes into quasi retirement lol and gains happy weight at that. So far so good, looking forward to more chaos and we gained Shin in the first episode |
| Great start to the story with Sakamoto and Shin meeting for the first time, loved how Shin ends up working at Sakamoto’s convenience store after getting his life saved during a pretty slick action scene despite Sakamoto’s chunky build lol. Solid first episode overall, feels faithful so far... I've been a fan of the manga for years so it's nice to finally see it animated. |

| Yuuki Hayashi lowkey recycling an unused My Hero Academia OST track for the first scene lol. Entertaining first episode. Wasn't expecting supernatural powers to be a thing in this show tho. Also animation is fairly good. Embarrassing to see some people here trying their hardest to deny the fact. Hopefully, they won't be around when Part 2 airs. |
| Sakamoto is absolute unit! |
| "The future is always blank. Only your willpower can leave footsteps there." "Ruling over death means ruling over life. Death is the climax of life. To have the best death, you must honor life." |
| It's not bad. I mean, I think this specific concept is starting to be overused. A true professional assassin who becomes peaceful or appears to have a normal life... Not to mention that sometimes he can return to that life, even if only briefly. That's been seen in other anime. But I won't deny that it was entertaining. On the other hand, the animation has its good parts and its bad parts. One of the things that shocks me the most is that the guy looks like someone in his sixties when it's only been a few years... I'll keep watching. It doesn't seem, at least for now, like a bad show. It just falls a bit into cliché. |

| Shounen fans are spoiled if this is considered bad. |
| I wanted to try watching something new today while I ate some nice food I cooked. I chose Sakamoto days because the songs for it I had heard on youtube sounded SO GOOD. So far, it's okay. I'm hoping I'll grow attached to it overtime and that the fighting scenes and anything having to do with them feel more resonant. I think because I'm new to the show, that maybe things don't feel so cool yet. I was introduced to an OP character, Mr. Sakamoto, but I don't know his journey. Maybe it would be nice to get to know his family better as well and watch his daughter grow up. This guy looks like Gon from HXH, but older  |
