Netflix has dropped a new trailer for Sakamoto Days.
It's official: Sakamoto Days is coming! In case you haven't heard, the popular manga has been in development as an anime for months, and all eyes are now on TMS Entertainment, especially with the new year just around the corner. Sakamoto Days will make its TV debut in January 2025, and we've gotten a new look at the premiere. Netflix has released a new subtitled trailer and, more importantly, confirmed the weekly release schedule for the series.
As you can see below, Sakamoto Days is shaping up to be one of the hottest anime titles of the new year, and TMS Entertainment has a lot to prove. The manga's sharp humor and incredible action sequences have already drawn comparisons to One-Punch Man. On January 11, 2025, Netflix will premiere the first episode of Sakamoto Days, and fans won't have to wait long for more. The streaming service has confirmed that the anime episodes will be released weekly, not all at once as is typical for Netflix. The anime community clearly prefers weekly releases, and thanks to series like Delicious in Dungeon, we know that Sakamoto Days will really take off with this release model.
The New "Sakamoto Days" Anime Trailer is All About Action
The Anime Series from TMS Entertainment is Based on the Manga by Yuto Suzuki
https://twitter.com/netflix/status/1864309996982350331The new Sakamoto Days trailer, of course, focuses on the impressive action. It's one thing that the trailer shows many dynamic and creative action scenes from Sakamoto and the others, but more importantly, the new trailer perfectly showcases the creativity of the action - through the choreography and the unique abilities of the characters, especially Sakamoto's ability to spontaneously lose a huge amount of weight. The action is the most important thing that the anime absolutely has to get right, and so far, it has succeeded perfectly.
In addition to the action, the trailer also showcases the story's humorous elements very well. One of the great successes of Sakamoto Days is its effortless blend of action and comedy. With the lively and witty banter between the characters and the various visual gags, such as Sakamoto shooting with paintball guns, or he and Shin dressing up in disguises, the trailer shows that the anime has perfectly translated the manga's humor into animation. The first trailer for Sakamoto Days gives a lot of confidence in the success of the series, and that's really great to see.
Sakamoto Days Could Be the Next "One Punch Man"
If you can take one thing away from the new Sakamoto Days trailer, it's the realization that the anime could be a perfect successor to One-Punch Man. Both stories are known for their great humor, which supports the even better action scenes. Since the third season of One-Punch Man still doesn't have a start date, the fantastic action comedy of Sakamoto Days could be just what everyone waiting for more One-Punch Man needs. But even without this comparison, Sakamoto Days has a lot to offer and will certainly be a great series to watch in January.
