The eagerly awaited anime adaptation of Sakamoto Days has unveiled a gripping new trailer, heightening anticipation for its premiere on January 11, 2025. The trailer offers fans a first look at the dynamic visuals and exhilarating choreography that bring Yuto Suzuki’s popular shounen manga to life. Netflix’s adaptation promises to introduce viewers to Taro Sakamoto, the anime’s charismatic and complex protagonist.
Once known as the world’s most feared assassin, Sakamoto has left his violent past behind to embrace a quiet family life, working at a local convenience store. However, when his dangerous history resurfaces, he is thrust back into a chaotic world of combat and intrigue, facing challenges that force him to confront his old skills.
The trailer showcases an action-packed sequence of events, with Sakamoto’s formidable strength effortlessly tearing through opponents and obstacles. From brutal street brawls to high-intensity fights that level entire buildings, the footage delivers a compelling blend of high-octane action and comedic moments that reflect the manga’s signature style and tone.
In a strategic move, Netflix has confirmed the series will be divided into two parts, with the first cour debuting on January 11, 2025, and airing weekly. The second cour will follow later in July 2025. Additionally, the anime’s opening theme, RUN SAKAMOTO RUN by the artist Vaundy, plays a key role in the trailer, adding to the series’ adrenaline-pumping appeal.
With its unique premise and action-heavy storytelling, Sakamoto Days is poised to become a major contender in the shounen anime genre, attracting fans of both intense combat and character-driven narratives.
