After a couple of months i decided to watch an anime. To tell you the truth i had forgotten that the new anime season just started so there are a lot of new titles out there. One that caught my eye is Sakamoto days. From what i understood this anime was released through Netflix but the twist is that not all episodes are released together it's again the usual one-episode-per-day kind of thing.
So far there are only 2 episodes out, i don't know how many will be but most likely 12 or 24. Now this is quite an interesting and fun anime/manga and i would review just yet with only 2 episodes out, but i have read the manga as well. There are almost 200 chapters out.
Plot
The plot is pretty straightforward. There was once a legendary hitman called Sakamoto. Nobody could beat him and he could take any job. At one point though he fell in love with a woman and decided to quit. 5 years passed and Sakamoto had a small convenience store where he ran it with his wife. He also has a young daughter and he gained a hella lot of weight.

A young hitman named Shin who apparently can read minds and used to work with Sakamoto is tasked with finding him, making him come back or else he is tasked to kill him. Ofc this isn't an easy task as not only he loses the fight from a fatso but because he realizes that Sakamoto wants to live happily with his family he asks his Boss to die instead.
Ofc the boss disagrees and try to kill Shin as well who is saved by Sakamoto and is now working for him in the store. The only rule is to never kill people. Will we see a happily ever after, or will more hitmen come for them?
What i Liked and What I Didn't
To tell you the truth as far as it concerns the animation, the first 2 episodes that are out are pretty good. The animation is awesome, the voice acting is always spot on, and there is blood as well. The fight scenes are pretty awesome and there is even slow motion in some scenes.
The only thing that i don't know yet is whether they will rush it or not in comparison to the manga. Now regarding the manga, and ofc without revealing anything this is quite an interesting one. The design is freaking awesome and even though i thought that it would be a silly one soon it get quite serious which i really liked. Honestly i don't have any negative things to say.
I won't provide a rating for the anime yet, but for the manga i would easily say an 8.5 or 9/10.
