The highly anticipated Sakamoto Days anime has officially released its opening, offering a glimpse into its animation quality and overall atmosphere. The opening theme song, titled “Run Sakamoto Run”, is performed by the Japanese artist Vaundry.
In addition to performing the opening for Sakamoto Days, it’s worth noting that Vaundry has gained recognition for singing several popular anime tracks in recent years, including “Hadaka no Yuusha” from Ranking of Kings and “Chainsaw Blood” from Chainsaw Man.
Controversy in Sakamoto Days?
Despite the popularity of Sakamoto Days, the anime’s opening has already sparked some discussion on social media. The main concern among fans is the number of “still” scenes featured in the opening, leading some to speculate that the series may not feature as many action-packed moments as they had hoped.
However, considering that the original manga is filled with intense conflicts and has gained massive popularity, it’s reasonable to expect that these elements will be faithfully adapted into the anime. It’s important to remember that the opening may not fully reflect the action or pace of the show, so it’s best to reserve judgment until the series officially premieres.
Additionally, it’s worth noting that the released video does not include the typical credit letters. These will likely be included in the episodes on Netflix, where they’ll credit the teams behind each installment.
Premiere on Netflix
Sakamoto Days is set to premiere exclusively on Netflix this Saturday, January 11th. While the anime has confirmed that it will feature a dubbed version, it’s still unclear whether the voice recordings will allow for a simultaneous release or if the Brazilian Portuguese version will arrive later.
The anime’s first season will consist of 22 episodes, divided into “Part 1” and “Part 2”. Part 1 is expected to run from January 11th to March 22nd, assuming no delays occur. However, there is no confirmed release date for Part 2.
