Well duh it’s one of the most popular and well selling mangas in Japan along with Dandadan and the main selling point of the manga are the creative action sequences and choreography which sometimes feel comparable to One punch man’s action scenes so it’s definitely a huge feat for a manga to pull it off especially if you can compete with Murata’s Art atleast for me.

That's unfortunate, but it is what it is. I'll just accept it and be ready to watch the adaptation with an open mind. Who knows? There might be some aspects I can enjoy.

I watched Megalo box few days ago that has same studio ( TMS entertainment ) and it was amazing. the fight scenes and choreography was great. Animation was also smooth. I hope they do the same with Sakamoto days.

Cuz Yo Moriyama was the director and for Sakadays he’s only responsible for the character designs the anime definitely would have looked way better if he was in charge of the Direction instead of Watanabe who doesn’t have a background for working on action oriented series.

Not saying I agree with them but the anime so far does look worrying. I don’t want to be overly negative and hopefully it looks even better than the trailers but if that’s the best that they can show then I won’t be surprised due to the studio. I’ll probably keep my expectations low but I want to be wrong.

Nop, it was made by David Production, TMS was just producer

well in terms of visual quality TMS is undoubtedly a great studio like they made shows like Dr Stone and Fruits Basket and both have amazing visuals but for Sakamoto Days beautiful visuals isn't enough it needs dynamic camera angles and smooth animation but I'm still hopeful and if TMS pulled it off then it'll be a blast.

that's what happens when the manga with universally agreed peak fight choreography gets a trailer that looks like that, although the early parts of sakadays were mostly slower episodic stuff before the actual arcs began so hopefully they lock in (cope) from death row prisoners arc.

@bossunhimeswitch and Mappa was the same studio that made Hell's Paradise and Jujutsu kaisen!!
And it doesn't take much words to describe the difference in quality between those 2 animes

just going through the winter 2025 seasonal list now and recognized the name. Was not impressed at all with the trailer and was suprised it was right near the top.

guess this explains it.

There was this one scene in the trailer where they legit just coloured a manga page and had the characters float across the screen, I had to pause and do a backflip to regain my consciousness.

hmmm....the manga really is good and it does a great job with the action sequences. but unfortunately no one can control this.
most animators are exhausted and overworked and we all know the schedule they follow.
I'm just happy anime is still being made and the industry hasn't died down.

I didn't really notice problems with Jigokuraku or JJK but I never take trailers at face value
