TheSakamoto Daysanime had been a long-anticipated adaptation, and even the manga readers hyped it up to an extraordinary level. Now that its first two episodes are released, one can fairly say it’s worth all the hype.
However, another thing that’s also true about this adaptation is that it is unexpectedly receiving a lot of criticism for its animation, as fans are claiming it hasn’t lived up to their expectations. But are these criticisms really justified?
How bad is the animation, actually? Is the problem at hand really that severe?
There is nothing bad withSakamoto Days’animation!
Although theSakamoto Days’animation has been widely discussed within the community, as a matter of fact, it is not particularly bad. Even the action scenes and the pace with which the storyline is unfolding are pretty understandable so far, also the quality of its character designs is more than good enough for enjoyment. So what it all really comes down to ishow tough the competition is!
If You’re Finding ‘Sakamoto Days’ Underwhelming, Blame ‘Demon Slayer’ for Setting the Most Unrealistic Benchmark in the Industry
New-gen series likeSolo LevelingandDemon Slayerhave set the standards so high, that it’s quite hard for any new plant to grow in this field. Thus,Sakamoto Days’relatively harsh criticisms for its animation certainly sound disappointing and even a bit depressing compared to the usual Shonen anime shows.
However, one thingSakamoto Daysanime did so well, is how it maintained a level of good consistency throughout, which is more than many popular Shonen anime can pull off.
Even in series likeJujutsu Kaisen,andMy Hero Academia, one can rarely find the consistency, that the fight scenes in episode 2 ofSakamoto Daysdelivered to us. The quality of character detail is retained in each scene, which is a notable thing in itself. While this may not look as flashy compared to some anime,Sakamoto Days’animation is definitely up to par, and it does what it needs to do.
The anime has a unique art style that fits well with the narrative
It wouldn’t be a stretch to say that theSakamoto Days‘ anime adaptation has a rather unique art style that perfectly synchronizes with its narrative. And in fact, this is what makes the anime stand out, as the approach is so unique. For those who haven’t read the manga, the show’sindividuality in animation is quite refreshingand the overall aesthetic is also both captivating and immersive.
The anime’s visuals are striking in the sense that they feature color-pencil sketch-like borders, with bold character outlines, and vibrant colors. And not just that, theStudio maintains this quality throughout the episodes, which is a notable achievement.

The art style may not be everyone’s cup of tea, but it is surely a strength in its own right. The anime has unique visuals that help make the viewing experience memorable. So with a handful of optimism, fans should wait and hope that this consistency, along with great quality in animation, continues throughout the series, and that’s all the series needs.
TheSakamoto Daysanime is available to watch onNetflix.
