Yuto Suzuki’sSakamoto Dayshas been among the beloved manga titles ofShonen Jumpin recent years. The anime adaptation of the series was highly anticipated and once it was announced in May 2024, fans were eagerly waiting for more updates.
Every anime season has its highlights, andSakamoto Dayscould have easily been that for Winter 2025. However, that doesn’t seem to be the case anymore as the release of the anime draws closer. The trailers so far paint a bleak picture of the anime’s future, and fans have lost all hope.
The discourse surroundingSakamoto Daysso far
Sakamoto Daysquickly became a fan-favorite manga with a narrative that balanced great comedy with exciting fight sequences. The first volume was a strong start as it introduced a great cast of characters, who were ruthless in fights and extremely fun otherwise. Whenever aShonen Jumpmanga starts gaining traction, fans prepare themselves for a mind-blowing anime adaptation.
Jujutsu KaisenandDemon Slayerspoiled fans in that respect and fans had hoped forSakamoto Daysto get a similar treatment. But as soon as the trailers were released, the enthusiasm was lost as the visuals lacked the fluidity and intensity that would do justice to Yuto Suzuki’s art style. The excitement that was lost furtherdissipated into thin air when the opening sequence was released.

Even before the anime officially premiered, it has come full circle from great excitement to major disappointment. Recently, the Japanese fans of the series shared their first impressions, and some of them even shared their experiences with the early screening.
Sakamoto Daysfans are beyond disappointed
The early screening ofSakamoto Dayswas organized on January 5th. After the opening theme and the trailers, fans had prepared themselves for the worst. However, it still stings to hear what the Japanese fans ofSakamoto Dayshave to say.
If they don’t change the production company, don’t make a second season.
The opening of Sakamoto Days is so lame Is it possible to become that lame using Vaundy? Please don’t make me regret making such a fuss about the anime adaptation.
I really liked Sakamoto Days so much that I even attended exhibitions and events with it, so I’m really disappointed.
Fans even questioned the priorities of Shueisha andShonen Jump, considering how they are letting one of the most popular Shonen titles get butchered like this.
I’m a Twitter addict, so most popular things should come up in my recommendations, but I’m amused that no positive reviews of the advance screening of the anime “Sakaday” have surfaced. What is Jump’s media representative doing? I don’t understand why they’re slacking off on the anime adaptation of their next flagship “Sakaday” when their two flagship titles are over.
If you’re not spending your money on Sakamoto Days, where else are you going to spend it? Shueisha? Hey?
For fans who have been following the manga, it must be heartbreaking to see the anime start on such a rough note. However, there are still a few days left till the anime’s premiere so there’s a slim possibility that the anime doesn’t turn out to be as bad, or the subsequent episodes feature better animation. Whatever it is, the loyal fans are reserving their judgment until the official release, and hopefully, their patience will be rewarded well.
Sakamoto Dayswill premiere on Netflix on June 21, 2025!
