Sakamoto Days Director Breaks Silence on the Upcoming Anime

As a long-time anime fan and avid follower of the industry, I can’t help but be intrigued by the upcoming release of “Sakamoto Days.” Having grown up with a diet of classic action anime, I’ve seen my fair share of hitmen and assassins. But Sakamoto is different. His unique blend of action, comedy, and family-oriented themes has captured my attention, and I can’t wait to see how it all comes together in the anime adaptation.

As a dedicated gamer, I can’t contain my excitement as we approach the release of Sakamoto Days, which is already creating a lot of buzz in the anime community, even months before it hits the screens. This action-comedy series made its entry into our world back in 2020 with a quiet yet promising start. But let me tell you, it has far surpassed my expectations since then. The art is stunningly beautiful, and the character arcs are intricately woven, making for an anime experience that is truly exceptional. And now, the director of this masterpiece is finally sharing some insights into its production process, leaving us all eager to learn more.

Masaki Watanabe, the director of “Sakamoto Days,” revealed his creative insights during a recent interview with TMS Entertainment. When asked about his vision for the anime adaptation, he identified three distinct aspects he intended to accentuate, all while preserving the original manga’s comedic essence.

The first time I encountered “Sakamoto Days” manga left me thrilled with its exhilarating action sequences. To capture that same sense of excitement for the anime adaptation, we plan to infuse it with dynamic actions, vibrant colors, and distinctive sounds that only animation can provide. (Watanabe’s statement paraphrased)

As a longtime fan of crime dramas and character-driven stories, I’m thrilled to learn that the upcoming series will maintain the comedic elements while providing a rich portrayal of Nakamoto as a family-loving, non-violent hitman. With my years of experience in following the twists and turns of intricate plots, I can only imagine the dedication and effort put in by the production team to bring this unique character to life on screen. Patience is a virtue, they say, and as someone who has eagerly waited for the release of many anticipated shows, I’ll gladly stand by and wait for the series’ premiere with bated breath.

Regrettably, the release of Sakamoto Days anime has been postponed to January 2025. In the interim, consider revisiting Yuto Suzuki’s series on the Shonen Jump app for additional information and entertainment. For further insights into this title, please find its official synopsis below:
