When Netflix revealed it would adapt Taro Sakamoto’s story, anime enthusiasts understood that the streaming platform was firmly committed to its role in the anime streaming competition. Fans have long anticipated seeing Sakamoto Days, one of Shonen Jump’s most popular mangas, transformed into a TV series, and the data doesn’t deceive. The first season of the anime adaptation has already premiered with two episodes, and Netflix has publicly acknowledged the show’s impressive performance thus far, figures that could leave you astonished. It seems that the Sakamoto family enjoys significant popularity among viewers.
Just as fans of the shonen genre have eagerly anticipated for years, Taro Sakamoto’s story finally made its way onto television screens through studio TMS Entertainment. The original material was crafted by mangaka Yuto Suzuki in 2020 and has consistently released new chapters since then. Currently, the series boasts a total of 190 chapters, with the release of the two hundredth chapter imminent. If the shonen series maintains its popularity, fans might be treated to additional seasons or movies in the franchise’s future.
Sakamoto Days: One of Netflix’s Biggest Anime Premiere
After its premiere on Netflix, “Sakamoto Days” has amassed an impressive viewership of 8.6 million, placing it as the second most-watched non-English TV series. If not for the massive popularity of “Squid Games” Season 2, it would have taken the top spot. According to Netflix, viewers have collectively watched over 7.7 million hours of “Sakamoto Days”, largely due to each episode’s approximately thirty-minute runtime that makes for easy and engaging viewing.
Observing the events in Sakamoto Days thus far, it appears that Taro, a former assassin who’s found solace in running a convenience store, is once again entangled in his old life due to the appearance of the psychic hitman Shin Asakura. Despite being a formidable force, Taro can no longer end lives as he made a vow to his beloved one. Yet, with Taro as the protagonist and Shin by his side, they possess the capabilities to tackle significant obstacles that come their way, at least for the time being.
Sakamoto Days Live Action?
Netflix has experienced significant success recently with their live-action versions of “One Piece” and “Avatar: The Last Airbender.” Although Netflix hasn’t announced plans for a live-action adaptation of “Sakamoto Days,” its storyline seems suitable for a real-world setting. Given Japan’s tendency to produce live-action projects, like “Cells At Work” and “Tokyo Revengers,” it will be intriguing to observe which market will initiate a live-action version of Taro first.
