Sakamoto Days affirms that we are going to be well served through its action, with a start filled with blasts, flying kicks and incredibly dynamic choreographies. [Full review in Spanish]

Rated: 4/5

Decider

Sakamoto Days is undeniably energetic, fast-paced, loony in tone and visually appealing. It’s also insubstantial and disappointingly formulaic.

There’s the seeds of something extraordinary here thanks to the endearing chemistry of the characters. Hopefully, the anime will flesh out the contours of its lead before the punchline of him being an overweight ex-hitman becomes stale.

Rated: 6/10

I usually love this kind of anime, but this is one anime where I simply couldn't get through. I think it's not an anime issue, but a me issue. I'm just not used to seeing plus-sized heroes in anime series, so it might be me. But, it's similar to many other fun animes. It's good, but just not my cup of tea.

too bland, humor that doesn't make you laugh, and action scenes that don't generate anything.

An overpowered retired hitman being hunted down by the next generation of assassins makes for great action and subtle humor.
