After dominating popularity rankings, and consistently being one of the best financially performing Shonen Jump manga, Sakamoto Days is getting an anime adaptation. Re-creating the visually stunning action sequences from the Sakamoto Days manga is no easy task, but the first anime adaptation trailer proves we are in fo??r an ab?solute treat.

Since 2020, Yuto Suzuki has written and illustrated Sakamoto Days in Weekly Shonen Jump. The manga follows the story of a legendary retired hitman, Taro Sakamoto, who attempts to settle down as a family man but is dragged back into his former life to ?protect his loved ones.

TMS Entertainment shared the first teaser trailer for Sakamoto Days and confirmed that the anime will air in January 2025. TMS Entertainment feels like the perfect studio to bring this manga to life; the studio has an extensive background working on action shows, from working on iconic spy anime series Lupin The 3rd in the '70s to modern anime adaptations like Dr. Stone, MEGALOBOX, and Undead Unluck. If the quality of Sakamoto Days is anywhere close to that list of ??gems, this anime adaptation is in good hands.

Bartender director Masaki?? Watanabe will sit in the director's chair, while Taku Kishimoto takes on Series Composition and Yo Moriyama heads up C??haracter Design.

In addition, TMS confirmed that Taro Sakamoto will be voiced by veteran voice actor Tomokazu Sugita, who is most known for roles as Sakata Gintoki in Gintama, Joesph Joestar in Jo'Jo's Bizarre Adventure, and Escanor in Seven Deadly Sins. With a proven ability to expertly mix action and comedy as Joesph Joestar or Sakata Gintoki, Sugita is an ide??al choice for Sakamoto.

The trailer only gives fans a brief glimpse at the action scenes, but it's already easy to tell that an i??mmense amount of attention to detail was put into these set pieces. The first fight we see from Sakamoto??'s past features impressive lighting and various shot angles.

Meanwhile, the few snippets we get to see of the supporting cast also boast remarkable visual effects that jump off the screen, as Sakamoto sends his enemies into the ground. If TMS Entertainment doesn't shy away from some of the more intense scenes and puts everything into the large-scale destruction, this adaptation could reach the fight choreography heights of a Jujutsu Kaisen or Demon Slayer.

We won't know what other anime series' Sakamoto Days will be up against in the winter season of 2025, but this show has ev??erything it needs to be a sensation based on how strong the manga ?has been from the start to its last few arcs.
