Sakamoto able to confront his past and reconcile it. Fighting against Boiled was a very necessary moment for Sakamoto. He needed to face the people he left behind when quitting being an assassin. Even with all the gadgets and explosives they Boiled had he was no match for Sakamoto raw strength. Completely over powered him and showed that even with five years of rust Sakamoto is still the best of the best. Lu fight against Obiguro was funny, her switching from different types of drunk completely confusing everyone. Thankfully that situation ended up well too. Sakamoto wife finding out about the hit on him went better than expected. I thought they'd have to keep that a secret from her until it was resolved but apparently not. She's fully on board with helping stop these assassins just not with killing. They really made it a family effort with helping to stop any assassin that comes along, even the little daughter was pressing buttons hitting them. Finding out who put the hit out on Sakamoto and stopping them is the most important thing now. We did get to see some cool other assassins out there. More interesting new characters I can't wait to see more of. There's gonna be some interesting fights coming Sakamoto way.

I'll try and stick around for a while now that we are getting something juicier with the plot.

I must say that I'm not impressed so far. Animation is just OK, direction is meh, characters are shallow and the story is too linear as of now. For a title with such a hype behind it I was expecting a lot more. The only saving grace seem to be the gags, for me. Not enough to keep me engaged for long though.

Fight was definitely quick.. but I feel like I’m the only one who liked the episode. Nice ending to the boiled mini-arc and set up for this new hit-man assassin plot-line.

The fact this is a series about fucking hitman and the most intimidating person here is Sakamoto’s wife is so funny to me. Boiled was such a bad ass just a few mins ago and now he’s bowing down to Mrs. Sakamoto promising not to kill her husband lmao

“How can he still be so strong after he quit being a hitman” form is temporary, class is permanent my boy. Even without his wife being around, I don’t think Boiled would want smoke with Sakamoto again 😂

So we finally meat the order and that bride character I’ve seen so much art of on twitter! I always thought she had Hayamin written all over her. Perfect casting. Blonde dude seemed like the voice of reason in the room and next thing I know he cutting up someone for putting onions in his risotto lmao.

Love the idea of random assassins just walking into the shop every hour or so to make a name for themselves and take out Sakamoto, only to get their asses beat lol.

I like this show a lot, might not have insane production values, but it has that same sort of comfy vibe Yozakura and spy x family had.
@Marinate1016 Same here it isn't perfect but I do feel manga fans are being a bit whiny. It's good show but it isn't perfect. I think it's comedic timing is what winning me over.

Lu being all kinds of drunk stalls Shin's demise, fortunately after the last swig before she sobered up, Obiguro found a new strong rival.
Sakamoto lost some weight but still retained his heart, giving him the strength needed to stop Boiled's all flash but no substance. www The worker meant the busted ferris wheel pod, not boiled.
Being a family man made him stronger, not weaker. wwwww Aoi is mad at her husband even though he's the one being targeted by these hitmen. There're more rules?
No way, they got Yor's VA Saori Hayami to voice the female Order member wearing the dress with webbed shoulders/neck.
The raid on Dondenkai is quick. Nagumo has apparently killed the boss already but after dealing dark humor on Shin, he reveals some details about The Order and his/Sakamoto's involvement.
As more and more wannabe assassins come to get the bounty, even Shin and Lu get easy victories, it just means in bandage and bandaid sales going up at Sakamoto's. Hana is precious.

Was hoping for Lu's drunken fight to last a little longer than it did. Felt like it was just getting good. The Ferris wheel scene was really funny though, just the instant cut from them fighting into it to them being seated like old pals.

We all knew that seeing a slimmed down Sakamoto was going to be short lived as he quickly put on weight again after kicking Boiled's ass. The Order seems like an interesting group of antagonists that stand above the run of the mill assassins that Sakamoto used to be apart of. There's another guy that goes by the name X. We already have Dr. X(Xeno) in Dr. Stone and the fact that Dr. Stone and Sakamoto Days is done by TMS can't be a coincidence.

I also found out that Obiguro is voiced by WWE Superstar Alexa Bliss in the English dub.

overall, animation is kinda wack for the times we live in however.. its actually a pretty funny and interesting story so far. This episode delivered like the rest but i would like to have seen a different studio animate this series honestly.. thats my general take. Not a huge one but, the biggest critism i have of the show as a whole which should say a lot about how good the story actually is. I know a lot of manga readers agree with me so I might actually read the manga soon

Okay the episode 5 has some good fights along with Hot Sakamoto. ... Honestly, I loved Nagumo. I swear everytime he appears on the screen he throws humor but still there is chilly air. All along his face is 🤗 but his movements and actions are 💀 while his jokes are 👿 It is not until I realize that he is one of the "The order" members along side Sakamoto. I would love to see this character soon.

possibly the most entertaining episode overall, starting with the fact that the main character actually briefly returned his former in-shape self and it wasn't just a illusion to have a better end for the previous episode. The two "bad guys of the week" already seem to have stopped being bad and probably many other new meetings will follow the same path. Glad that his wife didn't get angered like i was afraid of.

I'll say this much, watching this show in a groupwatch setting has definitely been an experience. From the beginning this show had Spy x Fam levels of action, and there's plenty more where that came from.

Honestly, I'm just happy that Lu had more moments to do her thing. Drunk fighting is so cool when it's pulled off, and we got some of that between the two girls. The fight scenes could have been executed better, but I've seen worse in anime

The whole bomb fight making Sakamoto lose weight for a day gimmick was ridiculous but expected from a show like this.

Can't say this show is peak or anything, but as a head-empty show it does the job well enough.

Honestly, Sakamoto Days has just been really fun to watch. It's an anime that doesn't take itself too serious, while still delivering a story (at least so far), with some depth to it.

This episode is probably one of the best ones so far of the season (on pair with episode 3 for me), and the fight scene between Boiled and Sakamoto was actually good, the animation actually surprised me.

I'm glad they actually made Aoi know about the bounty thing, and the anime didn't go with the "The simple wife doesn't know what the husband does", and instead is actually showing Aoi to be quite a fiercfull woman, that turned to the hitman and said "Can you please give up on killing my husband?". Even the hitman was afraid of her.
Also, it was cute to see that Lu considers the Sakamoto family her own too! In the end, both Lu and Shin have nowhere to go (by the ending, it seems we'll get Shin's backstory sometime soon), so it's cute to see that they have finally found a family for themselves (a very unique one I must say)!

Shin being the only one that was paying attention to the movie is honestly not surprising, that boy really is focused.
I can now start to understand why Nagumo is such a loved character, that man is a whole vibe honestly. And we finally got introduced to the order and what it is, as well to many of the characters that appear in the opening!

Overall, the episode was really enjoyable, and it seems we are getting into a new arc, that might last for quite some episodes. I really like the cast of characters and the vibe of the anime. The execution of some scenes and the overall animation and artstyle might be lackluster, but the anime is totally enjoyable! But I understand why big fans of the manga could be disappointed, since I feel like the anime could do much better with what it has.

Action wise it was okay, but I really loved the comedy! I'm a little annoyed "thin" Sakamoto didn't include his mustache for some reason but that's probably just me being nitpicky (and apparently a carry over from the manga so shrug).

Honestly, I had hope that the episode would finally take a serious turn. The comedic aspect seemed to have ended, but unfortunately... A fight I expected to be brutal turned out to be one of the tamest battles in the anime world.

Much love for the drunkard, Lu.
I love slice-of-life works.

"That's one hard boiled wife you got." said Boiled to Sakamoto. Lol

Who would have thought Sakamoto can get thin again after a workout fighting off the assassins.

Lu and Obiguro's fight...certainly is a case of drunken stupor vs. a clear evil, and with Shin on the line, the latter clearly is overjoyed of someone being on the same level as her.

Back to Sakamoto and Boiled's fight, the former took care of matters swift and quick just like his past, making sure that time is not spent too long without the wife and child knowing what's going on. But too bad, having his wife overhear their conversation left the 3 guys fending against her in embarrassment. And now that the plot is wide open, both Boiled and Obiguro aren't being much of help to Sakamoto, Shin and Lu, the trio has to find information about Dondenkai themselves.

One of them whom Sakamoto worked with in the past, Nagumo from The Order, the hitman group gets a summons from the JAA clearly targeting Sakamoto, which he, Shin and Lu infiltrates discreetly into Dondenkai's HQ to locate its boss. But to find Nagumo having done the work for them...or rather, just joking and filling them in on JAA hitmen being massacred, which they're hired to investigate the matter. But to have this killing whilst in the midst of Sakamoto's bounty, they're just back to square one with the information they have.

The 5 years Sakamoto's been gone, he clearly needs to step it up...while the Sakamoto convenience store has its own fair share of laughs.

Pretty solid episode as the show digs into the story a bit more this time around. The gap of power between the shapeshift guy and the psychic was BIG. I can only hope that they can overcome what lies ahead if they're stuck at "Boiled level". Now the entire family knows and I'm glad he's off the hook as I was worried for Sakamoto too w/ the divorce thing. Time to see what Sakamoto can do! (I also appreciated the calorie burning and the movie guy. Very nice things in things :D)

I don't think I reacted to any of the scenes this episode, except at the end when drunk Lu immediately assaulted a customer, who lay in a pool of his own blood, thinking "how?" It's dumb, but I laughed.

The show so far feels like a gag anime that's not really laugh-out-loud funny, but pleasant enough to pass the time.

The hype (and later disappointment) from the manga fans may have set the wrong expectations for me, and I think for a lot of people as well...
