Usually, perfect characters don't often get much attention. It's mostly written off as lazy writing. Characters like this are often called Gary Stu. These kind of characters are those who are good at everything without any explanation whatsoever. Usually, it's a bad idea to use these kinds of characters because they lose connection with the audience. But can we say that Sakamoto is a Gary Stu?
Heck no!
In truth, Sakamoto is completely different from this stereotype. For one, he is not based on lazy writing. Since the series is a comedy, you'd expect a klutzy idiot to be the MC. But Sakamoto changed that idea. This show proved that you don't need a funny character to be a comedy. What's important is the impact it has on the audience. And this is what Sakamoto has shown us.
And another thing: what makes him so cool is not his appearance or his style. It's his personality, his compassion and willingness to help his neighbors. This itself shows a strong message to the viewers: you don't need to look cool to be loved, you just need a big heart. And that 's what makes Sakamoto cool, cooler, coolest!
I definitely recommend this to casuals and elitists alike. Even if you're not a fan of anime, I swear, you'll love this show. Because once you see it, you'll know who Sakamoto is.
