Really love Sakamoto Days manga, is currently one of my favorites and I was expeting for a better animation in the anime...

It is getting better, but does not pass the same feeling and impact as the manga

Hope the panels for the fight scenes goes to an superior level, with more dinamicity at least. Sakamoto is such a badass, it really deserves a good adaptation.

The next fight is gonna be the first one really serious, can't wait to see how it is gonna be!

The theme park trip continues! Shaotang tends to the poisoned Shin (who's telepathy has weakened) as they deal with Tatsu where the learn about the group after Sakamoto. It's black company a part timer like Tatsu holds no loyalty to. He gets a taste of the family rule as they leave him alive. Hana, who believes he's a performer at the park, comes back to give him a bandaid.

A haunted house is the best place for assassins to hide, but Sakamoto swiftly deals with the rookie ones as if it's part of the attraction again.
Love the gap moe from the vixen Obiguro, sqeaming all cute at Boiled being nice while trying to looked cold.

www Lu Shaotang doing the drunken fist 🥴

Sakamoto thought Boiled was cringe even back then, but Boiled saw him as a fellow Hard Boiled guy. He had fangirls at the academy but he doesn't see them the same way as Aoi. Boiled thinks he's lost his essence since he fell in love and put on weight, but now Sakamoto is all warmed up...

Boiled legit looks like someone you would make in a wrestling game and give him super corny entrance music.

Cringey indeed, and not just Boiled's acronyms. Did Boiled beat the... fat out of Sakamoto or did he imagine him as he used to be?

i saw so much hype around it so i was very exited to watch it..... Its so ass... boring characters, boring design, basic plot. Second episode was such cliche , MC helps someone for no reason , the person asks the MC why are they helping them, Mc has flashbacks and says smth like ''i promised i wouldnt hurt people'',does badass move and thats it. Ive seen the exact same thing in almost every anime. The animation is not bad but very basic and kinda dissapointing. The story is also not that interesting....watch apothacary diaries ad dandadan instead of this shit.

didn't expect one more theme park episode, but using a haunted mansion in context isn't a bad idea. Not too much into this new couple, especially her. The ending with the title character without glasses and seemingly not overwright anymore is a cliffhanger interesting enough.

Was all that fat fake or did he actually just lose like 50 kg from a punch? Either way, I hope this is a temporary form of his.

I see the Léon: The Professional influence and that is my favorite movie so I loved it. I also see some Gintama influence with that hard boiled stuff, but maybe I am wrong??

Boiled and Obiguro make their appearances being the next-in-line assassins after Shin deals with Tatsu, as much as both Shin and Lu tries to play off Sakamoto's family. And like the assassins that has seen lots of brutal fights, Dodenkai surely benefitted from the works of the odd couple.

The amusement park trip goes on the day without any more interferences...except the haunted house, which is still assassin-friendly with both Boiled and Obiguro in the covers. But it becomes clear that Boiled's resentment towards Sakamoto, as much they are once birds of the same feather in the same facility, it's his popularity that started the beef against him, much like the rookies from the JAA that were sent against the trio to deal a score with an old friend. Indeed, while leaving Obiguro to deal with both Shin and Lu, Sakamoto has clearly lapsed against Boiled, and this is apparent even back in their younger assassin days where Boiled's cringe has become a reality.

Time for Sakamoto to show his chops of the progression of 5 years apart.

Ok, I liked the last episode better, but this one was good too!

Lu getting drunk and get better at fighting reminds me of Rock Lee from Naruto honestly.
It seems like next episode we'll see the female assassin against Lu, and Lu will need to be quick to save Shin. However, Lu gives up immediately and just says Shin is going to die. Poor Shin, he was becoming my favorite character and his time has already come to an end...

Sakamoto getting beaten by that guy was honestly unexpected, seeing how good Sakamoto still is. I suppose it's only for plot reasons, but I wonder if Sakamoto really isn't THAT good nowadays. Anyways, why is he suddenly thinner by the end of the episode? Getting punched makes you lose weight? I mean, many people probably want to know this miraculous dieting method.

Anyways, the animation was ok, and the episode was overall enjoyable! It's kinda weird Shin didn't fight back when they were locking him up in that table, because we all saw him in the last episode. Also, when Lu was putting the eye drops on Shin was really funny.

Sakamoto faces more assassins in the form of the duo, Boiled and Obiguro. this time the fight takes place in the haunted house venue where it is hard to predict where are the assassins going to come from.

Sakamoto getting boxed like Mike in his prime was not what I expected AT ALL! Though Sakamoto finds it cringe, Boiled really was about that life and when ballistic on him in such style and I can't do nothing but applaud him. The side chick wasn't impressive but was very good comedic relief. I'm not sure if there is something between the ex-mafia girl and the psychic but if there's a ship, I say let it sail lmao. Great episode once again & I'm thrilled for the next! (Thank goodness they left the family out of this entirely. They're killers but they're not monsters)

That was a cute little moment with Sakamotos kid. The haunted house actually looks pretty good. I wonder how it is when assassin's aren't in it. I love how all of the backstory to this fight was cause this dude is mad Sakamoto wouldn't be his bro. I also wonder if the skinny Sakamoto is something he can just make happen whenever.

The animation was somewhat worse compared to previous episodes—just wanted to add that.

The episode picks up right where it left off at the amusement park. Looks like someone from Tarou’s past admired him and saw him as a friend, only for Tarou to never acknowledge him in any way… poor dude.

After taking a ton of explosives head-on, Tarou somehow ended up slim—okay?! And now Shin is in trouble, while drunk Lu is completely useless and hopeless.

ngl Sakamoto walked into this one, I still think he has a chance against this new assassin duo still. His comrades are fighting to keep his family safe plus this guy from the flashback just dissed his family so I guess it would add an extra boost

What a setup to fight in the haunted mansion in the amusement park, and Sakamoto's friend from back then at the school became his opps since he hates to see Sakamoto fat and not fighting anymore... but too bad for him muscled Sakamoto is here to teach him a lesson ahaha

I grow weary of assassin of the week and how he's still so cool.
Are we going to see their interactions with normal people in their daily environments? I thought that would be the comedy.

The budget must’ve been really low, it’s basically way of the househusband. If you were a fan then anime probably won’t fill you, not exactly MAPPA and Uffo slinging it out. The story is likeable and agreeable, I guess the essence is whether it deserved a high budget priority.

Maybe so, maybe not. It is kind of just shounen cliches thrown at a wall. The action ramps up later, we basically got JC Staff and OPM here. It will be a challenge.

I really don’t know what I would want in this anime, the soft cel textures are nice. Warm and fuzzy. It’s supposed to be family, but some people wanted hard boil. Instead it’s soft boil, the internet didn’t like it.
