Nobody in this world is perfect. That was what we were learned when we were small children. However, this statement is proved false, with Sakamoto proving otherwise. In the world of Sakamoto desu ga? we explore the life of Sakamoto, showing us the very definition of cool.

In my opinion, comedy anime never need an amazing story. They just need to have good reasons to make us laugh. Although the story isn't the most original, it is certainly good. To have the perfect person encounter the different problems people bring onto him was a good story that brought hilarious over-exaggerated events. To keep it simple, the story is good, not amazing, but is enough to make anyone (relatively) laugh hard.

On the technical side, the overall quality was good. The sound wasn't amazing, but it definitely wasn't bad. Overall, the sound was good. On the art and animation sides, it was really good. In most cases, it was okay, with the usual animation we see in other anime. However, when it is time to show the coolness of Sakamoto, the animation skyrockets. Everything suddenly becomes more intense, and the animation helps showcase that. Overall, the art and animation is decent for most of the time, but have some "sakuga" moments that help to show how cool Sakamoto is.

When talking about characters in Sakamoto desu ga?, the first character we would think of is Sakamoto. However, if you didn't know, there are other characters in this anime (Wow, who would have known! My mind is blown!). Despite having the whole series revolving around Sakamoto, the characters are just as interesting, and do have a bit of development to them. Many side characters are fun to see react to the crazy things Sakamoto pulled off. As for Sakamoto, he does not get any development, as there is nothing to develop. He is just too perfect to be changed. While some may think that is a problem, thinking that he will eventually become a boring character, which is not entirely false, but can be forgiven because of his coolness. Overall, the characters good, with some of the supporting getting a bit of development.

Are you familiar with a decrescendo? If not, it is a decrease in loudness, mostly used in music. That is a reflection of my laughter. I started this anime with a laughter at ff, or fortissimo. After a few episodes, the decrescendo was dropped on, reducing my laughter to small giggles. If you didn't understand that, it basically means that the jokes started becoming repetitive, making them somewhat predictable, and not making them have the full effect they would have initially have on me. However, that does not mean that the anime will be boring by the end. There will always be a few surprises awaiting inside an anime. Once those are revealed, be ready to laugh. Overall, I really enjoyed watching this anime, despite it becoming predictable by the end.

Overall, I really enjoyed watching this anime. It is a hilarious comedy series that made me laugh every single episode. Although I mentioned that it gradually repetitive, it can easily be forgiven, because this show is just that funny. Overall, I would recommend you giving Sakamoto desu ga? a try, if you like any hilarious over-exaggerated events, and don't mind having the same joke repeated somewhat continuously.
