Sakamoto Days revolves around Taro Sakamoto the worlds renowned legendary hitman far greater the caliber of all. However the legend seemingly turned into a retired ordinary and relaxed family man who gained weight. With the Sakamoto Store to whom his past life owes the consequences a certain someone has put a bounty to his head and persistent enemies come to force him to protect his loved ones despite his retired status. Story The plot follows Taro Sakamoto and his family where his wife Aoi Sakamoto has a rule not to kill or else she would break up with Taro which the former hitman adheres out of his fear. Who wouldve known he who was once feared by all fears no one but his wife. Certain former criminals meet up with the family in mere coincidence Shin Lu and Heisuke and they come together to adhere and protect the family against persistent threats of those who have business against Taro whether by revenge forcing him for job return or the bounty up his head. The plot is simple yet complex a story meant to balance out the elements of sliceoflife action and comedy. The story primarily focuses on the bounty up Sakamotos head but each episodes are directed to leading outofscope. The best description for that would be: This episode is about Taro then about Shin then about comfort then thisandthat. The sequence is tolerable at least. Its truly worth note taking that the series is rushed. Everything feels allsosudden. The plot in itself isnt that great either while it has its strengths for having innovative concepts such as The Order X and Triad but it is not sufficient enough to compensate the rest of the adaptation. The weaknesses over the strengths surely overpower over this anime adaptation in comparison to the manga. Characters The introductory execution of the characters were done efficiently under the manner of 11 episodes. However while there is explicit apprehension toward the backstories of characters several concepts were not given proper detail and focus which made them irrelevant. Certain characters were also not given enough depth considering their potential. The character designs are phenomenal that I can already see edit videos rampaging over the feeds. Yeah you cant deny from men to women all of these characters have an ick to them. Visuals Critics are out to an alltime best to criticize the series over its visuals. They tend to talk bad about it being a very bad adaptation a source coming from people with high expectations. It is subjective but I agree. There are several flaws noticeable in every episodes that affect the series in itself but several episodes that shouldve been better considering its impact were done unsatisfactorily. For example Xs introduction Sakamoto vs HardBoiled Natsuki Seba vs Heisuke and Shin Sakamoto and Shin vs Heisuke While all of these fights are tolerable to an extent it couldve been much better. Music There are also certain critiques who have their disappointments of the music pointing out the opening and ending sequence of the series. Overall It is a decent series with several flaws that are attentively being criticized by critics who seemingly have a bad take when it comes to Sakamoto Days. While there are certain episodes that show comfort for the sake of its main genres I think that the anime adaptation doesnt suit the works main output at all. Shoutout to several characters along with concepts for being very interesting engaging and refreshing. Im talking about you X Order Seba Shin Heisuke and Lu. wink wink
