You can tell this anime is going to do wonders with Sakamoto Days‘ fight sequences, so netizens will not want to miss out on this big anime.

With a trailer and poster now live, the Sakamoto Days anime has become the biggest topic within the anime fandom. The show is slated to debut in January 2025, and while no official streaming home has been announced, reports surfaced last week tying Sakamoto Days to Netflix. The series has yet to share an episode count for season one, but of course, fans are crossing their fingers for a two-cour request.
