The official website of the Sakamoto Days television anime revealed additional staff, main promo, and key visual (pictured), and opening theme on Wednesday. The anime series adapting Yuuto Suzuki's action comedy manga will air in split cours, with the first part debuting on January 11, 2025 at 11:00 p.m. on TV Tokyo and other channels. The second cours will premiere in Summer 2025.

Staff
Art Director: Yukiko Maruyama (One Punch Man)
Color Design: Manami Sasa (Chichibu de Buchichi)
Director of Photography: Bolun Cai (Beastars)
Editing: Aya Hida (Kaijuu 8-gou)
Sound Director: Jin Aketagawa (Wind Breaker)
Music: Yuuki Hayashi (Boku no Hero Academia)

Singer-songwriter Vaundy (Ousama Ranking, Chainsaw Man) is performing the opening theme "Hashire SAKAMOTO," which is previewed in the promotional video below.

God, that OP is a fucking banger. They got SOMETHING right, at least.

But yeah, animation looking VERY limited, like there is little to no impact when Sakamoto punches lmao. This whole two cour thing as well, doesn’t look too good.

Please tell me that I can safely enjoy this and no terrible ending or stretching of the plot for the sake of milking the title will ruin it for me.

@Sleabedybarb Really? It's looks really good to me and I don't know when did TMS Entertainment end up being a shity studio. They have worked on lots of high profile anime before like Dr Stone, Fruit Basket Remake and Magalobox. Currently airing Blue Box is made by Telecom Animation which is a subsidiary of TMS Entertainment as well.

@ZXEAN Bro your standards are pretty bad, especially since the manga has amazing fight sequences.
TMS died in the mid-2000s due to talent migration

@Sleabedybarb It is not Netflix that chooses who works on what, they just picked up the streaming exclusivity and that's it.

With Yuuki Hayashi doing the music, that gives me hope that at least the OST will be fire. Despite how much I enjoy the manga I'm still gonna go into this with reserved expectations.
People on MAL refuse to actually enjoy watching anime.

Your taste in anime isn't a personality trait.

MAL is literally just anime Twitter as its own website lol.

We'll see how it goes, but Yuki Hayashi music + Vaundy OP is already a great start.

I don't get this. Sakamoto Days is Jump's big series right now. It could've taken the world by storm with a stellar anime adaptation. Something like OPM, Dandadan or even MHA. This isn't flashy nor weighty enough; it doesn't convey how good the art of the manga is.

Didn't they learn their lesson from Black Clover and Demon Slayer? Good anime makes the big bucks. Hope the animation picks up when it actually airs.

@luffysenchou the problem is, the manga looks way better, and they're supposed to use the medium to elevate it. When the manga implies motion better than the anime does you've got a problem.

@ZXEAN TMS have good source material, but they don't elevate it. Dr Stone is a way better manga than anime, carried by the IP, OST and VAs. The animation should elevate the series, and TMS aren't good at that.

At least being a split-cour will give them more time to cook.
