Sakamoto Days Episode 11 Discussion

Why'd they say "blackjack" when he got 21 after hitting... It's only a blackjack if you hit it with your starting hand, i.e. 2 cards, Ace and a face card or 10.

Also, why are they treating card counting as if it's some amazing skill lol. Also, it only barely gives the player an edge, about 1% better odds than the house; it's not some magic that makes you win all the time, it's still a coin toss as to whether or not you win.

This is veryyy basic stuff, and it's surprising they didn't do a lick of research for these scenes.

And now that it’s over, I can talk. Yeah this is undoubtedly one of the worst adaptations created for a series that deserved soooo much better.

VAs even feel like they aren’t into it most of the time. Animation is just “Special effects” with no animation, and drawn worse than manga with a lot of butchering to great panels and fights. And yes before defenders act like “atleast this isn’t blue lock”, welllll blue lock had some episodes that would actually break tradition and rival one of the best animations out there. This had nothing, literally zero good moments where the animation quality went up. It’s ironically sometimes the reverse, as animation goes still frames with like I said special effects. Now enough with animation criticism because I can go all day criticising it.

Now the biggest problem: the direction… The skipping of chapters… the story boarding… Who the () thought getting a tape and mixing everything up like that was a good idea? Yes they need to actually demote that person because wow zero experience. It made the characters not likeable at one point, the comedy fall flat, and the story feeling so off. Like nothing landed except maybe sometimes ost here and there.

This was worse than one punch man season 2, and this was worse than blue lock season 2 (yes because atleast that had VAs trying and OST was great, as well as ironically the direction wasn’t that bad, what made blue lock season 2 bad was literally crunch time and animation).

I didn’t want to bury this anime until the cour was over, because It would feel unfair. Because I did this to blue lock until final episode showed the actual problem of the season. This has nothing to redeem it. And next cour covers one of the best arcs and with this? This series will be forgotten in that season, because we actually have bangers with great studios… Imagine Kaiju no 8, Dandadan S2, Gachiakuta against this adaptation? Yeah bye bye Sakadays, going to continue the manga

Bro either watch other animes or stop defending objectively mid animation at best. Your defence has nothing to refute what I said only “Nah it’s good”…

It's bizarre that people are getting so worked up about this anime, whether it's the animation, the fights, etc.

This looks like nothing more than a pretty ordinary gag anime. I don't mean this as an insult.

I really don't think this needed an eye-bleeding, big-budget production. Maybe it becomes an insane, high-octane action epic later on? But then why are some manga readers so angry with the anime already?

To begin with, I'm surprised this manga is (apparently) so popular, I don't even see what makes it particularly special. I guess being on Shounen Jump helps a lot...

Overall, there are worse anime to waste time on, and I laughed in a few places. Will check out the next season, but in no rush at this point.

There’s literally no weight lol. You 100% didn’t watch other animes atp

Two words: Solo Leveling

Not sure what you mean by this... Are you saying that people want good animation from Sakamoto Days because Solo Leveling got it?

Then I'm saying that doesn't really make sense to me. Sakamoto Days and Solo Leveling look like completely different kinds of anime. It's not even an apples-to-oranges comparison, it's more like apples to... a Tesla. And people want an apple to go 0-to-60 as fast as a Tesla would... Just, why?

Maybe the manga IS a hype-fueled action extravaganza, like Solo Leveling is. But that can't be true, because in that case the manga readers would complain that the anime turned Sakamoto Days into a different genre.

Just overall a bizarre situation, in my eyes. It just makes talking about this anime an unfun experience.

(Not that there's much to talk about... I thought it was really bland)

What’s solo leveling got to do with this lmao. This has worse animation than One punch man S2, and has no impact but you are defending it when majority feel this way.
