Netflix’s Coolest Anime to Return With Season 2 (First Look Revealed)

Netflix confirmed that a popular anime series will be back for a second season soon. It’s been a fantastic year for anime overall, and fans can look forward to even more new shows in 2026. Netflix, in particular, has had a strong year, securing exclusive rights to several highly anticipated anime, including a major series from Shonen Jump. The first season was a hit, and a second season is already being planned.

The anime series Sakamoto Days has become a major hit for Netflix this year, with the latter half of the first season proving particularly popular. Due to this success, Netflix announced at Jump Festa 2026 in Japan that a second season is officially in the works. While details are still emerging, you can now watch the first trailer and see the poster for Sakamoto Days Season 2.

What to Know for Sakamoto Days Season 2

I’m so excited for Sakamoto Days Season 2! It’s going to be a Netflix exclusive, which is awesome, though we don’t have a release date just yet. Everyone’s wondering if the original team and voice actors will be back, but I’m pretty confident most of them will return. After the huge success of the first season, and with how amazing the teaser trailer looks, Yuto Suzuki’s Sakamoto Days is really about to blow up – I can’t wait!

The anime adaptation of Sakamoto Days had a rocky start, with fans initially divided on its quality. While the original manga is praised for its dynamic and fluid action sequences, the anime didn’t quite capture that same energy at first. However, the creators listened to feedback and significantly improved the animation for the second half of the season. Early glimpses of the upcoming season suggest the action is even more spectacular than before, building on that momentum.

How Sakamoto Days Is Changing for the Better

I was really excited to hear director Masaki Watanabe talk about how they’re making Sakamoto Days even better! He mentioned that they listened to fan feedback about the visuals – some people thought it was a little too bright, and they wanted more mature colors. So the team really took that to heart and worked hard to improve things. He also hinted at what we can expect for season two, and it sounds like they’re constantly refining the anime based on what viewers like. It’s awesome to see them so responsive!

We always start by staying true to the original material. Then, we focus on expanding the scenes between the key moments. It’s rare that we feel like we have too much footage; usually, we need to add more to achieve the right emotional impact and pacing for each action sequence. We carefully consider the timing to ensure everything flows well.
