Among the buzzworthy premieres such as season 2 of “Solo Leveling” and the concluding season of “Dr. Stone,” it’s Netflix and TMS Entertainment’s “Sakamoto Days” that’s starting to grab attention. Despite some divided opinions about its opening theme by Vaundy before the anime debuted, the series is on track to become a popular choice, and its cleverly misleading opening scene in Episode 1 provides more than enough of an introduction to the series for fans.
The long-awaited anime adaptation of “Sakamoto Days” has arrived, and it surpasses fan expectations in terms of visual appeal. The series kicks off powerfully by introducing the legendary assassin Taro Sakamoto at his peak, right from the get-go. Remarkably similar to the manga, the anime infuses its unique charm into each scene, accentuating the stark difference between Sakamoto’s past and present selves more effectively than the manga through its distinctive animation style, color grading, and a touch of original content.
Sakamoto Days’ Anime Gives Its Protagonist the Coolest Introduction
In recent storylines, Taro Sakamoto’s character introduction stands out for its impact, effectively demonstrating his formidable strength from his past in just a short time during the opening scene.
In terms of appearance, this particular anime scene distinctively differs from the others due to its Western neo-noir ambiance. The dramatic use of low lighting and elongated shadows cast at sharp angles, coupled with intense action sequences and the splattering blood of Sakamoto’s adversaries, all contribute to a highly stylized portrayal. This scene presents Taro Sakamoto as an individual reminiscent of John Wick in his prime, but then unexpectedly shifts the narrative when Sakamoto encounters his spouse and decides to settle down.
As Sakamoto’s life undergoes a significant transformation, the animation style and aspect ratio adapt accordingly, serving as a subtle yet powerful reminder of the profound changes he experiences, both in the storyline and visually depicted scenes.
Indeed, the initial episode of “Sakamoto Days” left me speechless with its breathtaking animation style. However, I’m not certain if we can expect this particular style to persist throughout the series. Here’s hoping the subsequent episodes maintain this level of visual splendor and continue to faithfully adapt the source material.
Sakamoto Days is available to watch on Netflix.
