The highly anticipated anime adaptation of Sakamoto Days has revealed its opening theme, titled Run Sakamoto (走れ SAKAMOTO). Sung by Japanese musician Vaundy, the song has generated a variety of responses from fans ahead of the anime’s release on January 11, 2025.
Despite not having an anime yet, Sakamoto Days has gained significant popularity as a manga, and its upcoming release is poised to introduce the series to an even wider audience. The opening, now available for viewing on the official Sakamoto Days X (formerly Twitter) account and YouTube, has sparked mixed opinions, especially regarding its visual quality.
Vaundy, known for his previous work on anime openings such as Hadaka no Yuusha for Ranking of Kings and Chainsaw Blood for Chainsaw Man, brings his signature style to Sakamoto Days. While the song itself has garnered praise for its energetic tone, fans have expressed concerns about the animation’s quality, with some stating that the visuals appear somewhat static, deviating from the high-energy expectations typically set by anime openings.
The official trailer has teased the exciting action that fans can expect, but many worry that the lack of movement in the opening may be a reflection of the show’s overall production quality. As anime openings often set the tone for the series, these concerns are understandable.
