Sakamoto Days revolves around Taro Sakamoto, the world's 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 would've 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 slice-of-life, action, and comedy_.__

The story primarily focuses on the bounty up Sakamoto's head, but each episodes are directed to leading out-of-scope. The best description for that would be: ___"This episode is about Taro, then about Shin, then about comfort, then this-and-that!"_. The sequence is tolerable, at least.__

It's truly worth note taking that the series is rushed. Everything feels all-so-sudden. The plot in itself isn't that great either, while it has it's 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 can't deny, from men to women, all of these characters have an ick to them.

Visuals Critics are out to an all-time 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 should've been better (considering its impact) were done unsatisfactorily. For example,

• X's introduction
• Sakamoto vs Hard-Boiled
• Natsuki Seba vs Heisuke and Shin
• Sakamoto and Shin vs Heisuke

While all of these fights are tolerable to an extent, it could've 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 doesn't suit the work's main output at all.

Shoutout to several characters along with concepts for being very interesting, engaging, and refreshing. I'm talking about you X, Order, Seba, Shin, Heisuke, and Lu. wink wink
