Has no one created the thread for today's episode yet?
>>275289382The ending song is dogshit boring for this type of show...or even for anime in general, I'm talking both song and visuals.
Saugen moto dais
>Has no one created the thread for today's episode yet?Why would they want to
Are they supposed to be normal people or what? Because they clearly have super powers
>>275289382only twitter cares about this show
Maybe it's just me but the episode looks somewhat better than the first two.
>>275290065It’s never explicitly mentioned but basically in this world everyone has a unique power and you just need to accept that they can do the things they do.
Its only going to get better
>>275289382the hype is already over
Why do the people on the ride don't give a fuck about people shooting guns right next to them or casually flying 50 feet in the air?
>>275290742That's just the average Six Flags experience.
They fucked up Nagumo's diguise, it's supposed to be realistic (whatever the fuck that means at this point), not magicOther than that the episode was fine. Animation a bit wonky in some places but the fight flowed well.
>>275290742All mobs are like this in this manga. They probably add something to the water.
>>275290065It's "Jackie Chan but everyone with name is Jackie Chan".
Oh, it came out. I lost interest in the manga, but it still has fun fights. How's the anime so far? People were worried about the animation quality.
I actually like Sakamoto so i never discuss it on /a/
Still can't believe the Chinese bitch finds out the more alcohol she drinks the more powerful she gets and then it's dropped after the Prison arc. Stupid.
>>275289382I watched the first two episodes and I'm not even bothering with the third. How often can you watch "the bad guys come after the ex assassin and get wiped" before you get board?John Wick wore out it's welcome before the end of the first movie and there are 4 of the fucking things.
Does anyone have webms of the episode?
>>275292854Action movies were the original fightfag media before being a shonenfag was even a thing
>>275292854the manga turns into more than that later on, my wooden plank friend
>>275292854>How often can you watch "the bad guys come after the ex assassin and get wiped" before you get board?The plot will soon shift to uncovering who placed the bounty on Sakamoto and introducing various powerful factions into the storyline.
>>275293480The fucking McBain cartoon interludes from the early simpsons seasons were more compelling than any recent action movies. You need that 80's cheese for them to be interesting, back when shooting action was hard and gratuitous over the top effects were satisfying because of how low tech and skin of the teeth everything was. Now it's all perfectly choreographed dances and motion tracked cameras where everything can be dialed in perfectly and is all worked out in excessive detail with cg previs beforehand and it's all just so stale.
hahaha
>>275293953Gintama Kagura vibes
>>275293953>we drew it bad, as a joke. the way people were hyping this up, and this is the result.
This is just nitpicking at this point. Its a good show and the animation is fine for the early manga
>>275294141It's fine but I really hope they get a better style for future seasons. People say Mappa is overused for shonen and too samey, but I honestly believe it would be perfect for some of the later fights in the manga which have almost art house vibes to them.
PEOPLE FIGHT
>>275294276>MappaYou want it to look worse?
>>275294543Sorry I should have specified. I mean the overall style/vibe, not the studio particularly.
>>275289382/a/ doesn't actually watch anime
>>275295256Sad...
>>275290742This was never addressed and it only gets worse, it works in the manga but Im curious to see how they pull it off in anime
>>275292085I thought the same thing, they should've had him shapeshift off camera Because if it s some "magical" power how will they explain sakamoto also being albe to shapeshift when he disguises as his wife in case you forgot ?
>>275295256That's right, I also don't read manga
>>275294655What's mappa "overall style"? They aren't a studio with a unique aesthetic like Ufotable, Kyoani, Trigger, or even Gohands, which are immediately recognizable at first glance.Even talking specifically about battle shonen, JJK, Jigo, SnK, they all have different styles and vibes.
>>275289382It's not that bad but i don't know what's about it that makes it unappealing to look at.
>>275297355the film grain and other filters they put over it making it look like a 2000s era anime
I hope we'll get NTR doujin
>>275297585But most 2000s animes were pretty clear. The only one that I remember being grainy is Death Note
>>275290742The casual npcs is a running gag in saka
should i watch episode 3 or just drop the series?retired and fat but still worthy type of shit (is there a term for this?) doesn't really appeal to me."emotional" backstory they're teasing also sounds lame.and animations suck. come to think of it i'm not sure why I started watching it in first place anyway
>>275297628kys cuck
>>275289382Don't really understand the hate for this show, it seems forced (despite how much I hate that term, I can't find a more applicable one) because it seems like the same surface level or non-applicable complaints are thrown around for an anime that isn't too particularly special but is 100x better than the isekai shit that floods this season. The manga is still much better of course, but that's expected for every anime.
>>275298584People expectations are way too high for every shounen jump adaptation nowadays.
>>275298584I think there was a general air of it needing to be a good adaptation due to the fanbase, this primed expectations higher than it should be. When taken as a shown on it's own without knowledge of the existing material it has problems:The fight animation is bad, it lacks any sort of weight and it's up against popular shows, DanDaDan and Solo Leveling mogs this hard.The jokes don't land, the running gags are not funny. Humor requires correct pacing, a good editor plays a massive role when doing visual gags. Which is non existent here. The central conceit of the show is just not that entertaining without good fight animation. It's not like it has a stellar plot or characters. It's the fighting (and the jokes) that need to carry this, and well, they are failing.
>>275289382Flop of the Season
Who thought making an obese old man the main character was a good idea, lmao this is terrible.
>>275293797You have to watch more Asian action movies
>5 hours, 48 repliesIs the show is not even fun? What is this straight up apathy for a big shonen title? Even Kaiju 8 was fun.
>>275292854It's been 3 episodes, most animes don't get good untill episode 30. The manga is at ch 196 and only just giving us Shins backstory. You got a long way to go faggot. Just enjoy people fight because there's if adapted right and with proper choreography there are some fights and feats that are insanely good.
>>275289382I hate how this and Blue Box are one episode ahead for some and behind for others. Stupid and gay.
>>275299411There's too many anime these days if you can't blow people away by the first impression you already lost.
>>275299411All the attention goes to Medalist.
The doujin are writing themselves
Mangabros, have there been any instances of villains that Sakamoto allowed to live coming back and starting more shit?If yes, this will have to be an early drop for me because I’ve had more than enough of that egregious trope.
nothing for best boy first appearance?
>>275300403Nop all of them shit the bed, the only exception is the main villain but he is the main villain
Why did the blonde hammer dude kill the waiter
>>275300612Thanks, it’s fine in that case. A relief because has been a really enjoyable show so far.
flopamoto
>>275298584I think it's fine, but it's weird that in the sub at least, he's thinking his lines as opposed to speaking them. It's not top tier animation, but passable (i.e. better than Naze Boku or Dekisoko or Liar Liar).
>>275289896Wait, is Episode 3 out already?
>>275301084netflix jp is one episode early for whatever reason because they released two eps on the first week, its on nyaawhy would jp do this anyways? whats the point of double releasing the first week if the rest isn't batches
>>275289382Nobody likes it, it's a 6/10 for me though.
>>275290742Typical theme park experience.https://youtu.be/IRzK3WpXO1g?si=AEOC3eO9mgCky4Bv
>Bringing a gun to a theme park>in Japan no lessIt's impossible in America, lol
>>275301633once you realise the guns are CG you cant unsee it
>>275301708I have plenty of real guns so just seeing any detail is fine with me
Chink girl is cute. If a bit dumb.So this is going to be the show? Gimmick assassin after gimmick assassin? Ok.Why does that guy have the 16:10 meme on his neck?Cute daughter and wife. Feels like they are already being sidelined. Shame since it should be a fathers focus to be there for his daughter.BGM reminds me of some VN soundtracks.The stitched together guy couldn't look more suspicious.Funny how his had magnets to the rail.Bit too fast acting for a poison. Especially in the leg.Why would they send a second train? They would full emergency stop all trains at the station.No kids were scared by seeing sugar bunnies throat slit and a guy's face sticking out.Overall a fun episode though.
>>275301065>>275298584The problem is the manga's main strength is it's insane coregraphy and concepts for fights, and it doesn't really do much with it's plot or charactersSo the main thing an anime adaptation should do with Sakamoto Days would be to go all in on Sakuga so what the series does best can be executed well and make up for the other areas it lacks inThe fact the anime isn't particularly well animated kinda makes you question why they're even bothering. It'd be like if there was a manga with a super distinctive art style and then the anime adaptation totally changes that to something more generic
>>275302345well there was ton of shit that didnt make any sense and the overall animation/visuals were again, awful.still last part saved it for me. if future episode will also be par with this one, it's tolerable 6.5/10 max.shouldn't expect too much from it though.
>boiled is next episodeThe first actual big fight is coming, that'll be the real test of the animationThe fights so far are pretty decently animated, they were basically the manga fights, and the early couple weren't anything super crazy
>>275299411>Is the show is not even fun?The manga is "people fight"The anime is "we need to get to people fight faster but with lackluster visuals"
Where's everyone
>>275305143Netflix didn't pay this time.
>>275289382i could only think of DUDE WEED this episode
Was it that hard to just hire Daisuke Sakaguchi for Shin and Rie Kugimiya for Lu...
>>275301633why no one cares about these people jumping on a rolecoaster lmao
the chink is cute, i hope she gets more screentime
>10 hours thread>82 postswow
>>275299411I think its funIt reminds me of Mashle
>>275307194Nice like the manga threads thenAround here saka days I'm pretty sure has always been mostly oldfag readers who don't care enough to comment muchThere's also nothing crazy to discuss or any egregious shit post bait either, it's just a chill fun show (which is why the Ed is perfect)
>>275307659>There's also nothing crazy to discuss or any egregious shit post bait either, it's just a chill fun showi agree desui dont like the no-killing rule but the show is comfy
>>275298584The show gets collateral from the endless Jump shitposting dweebs
>>275308837What is funny about the no kill rule is only the Sakamoto crew follows it. Nagumo and the rest of the order don't follow it.
>>275309772I hope there's a arc where his wife and daughter gets kidnapped and she's like tell him to fuck shit up and murder everyone
>>275309883I like the idea of Aoi giving Taro one of those handmade coupon booklets and one of them being "1 free kill"
>>275290742This is a world where everyone country has assassination organizations and schools, and many people try to become assassins for the money. It’s normal in this world for this kind of shit to happen.
>tfw the whole appeal of this show is funny overpowered fat man trying to live a normal life but has to use his superpowers to get gangsters to leave him, his family, and his friends alone>tfw manga readers say fat man gets into shape and gets out of retirementNow I know how the people who were upset about Kaiju No. 8 having the MC reveal his secret so early on.
>>275292085It should have been Shin POV as he blinks and then Nagumo’s disguise is gone. He says it himself that it happened in the blink of an eye.
>>275310635>>tfw manga readers say fat man gets into shape and gets out of retirementwhat the fuck is this truei liked kaiju n8 reveal but sakamoto not being a fat old man is retarded
>>275310635The gimmick stil there unlike k8
>instant transformationso we just magic now?even gintama was down to earth enough
>>275310635the shapely form is a powerup, but the fat form essentially gets phased out
it bothers me how every hitman seems to be super human
This series is so disappointing.I expected Hitman comedy with overpowered Saitama-esque protagonist dunking on hitmen while trying to live a peaceful life, but apparently it's not about that at all.It became a serious battle shonen with serious plot really quick.There's waaaaaaaay too much emphasis on Shin and other side-characters.Sakamoto is strong, but not OP anymore since they keep introducing characters that are just as strong and bunch of magical bullshit.I'm glad I went and read the manga, now I can drop the anime without regret.
>>275311475Many zoomers who used to flashy Kimetsu Dandandan animation complain about how the anime is bad because bad animation, but that's not even the biggest problem this series has.
>>275310635Kaiju 8 is great so the upset was just faggot shiteaters being retarded
>>275311475You are looking for The fable
>>275311632I literally fell asleep watching Fable
>>275289382because its mid
>>275311661Your problem, the fable is amazing manga
>>275311632Now thats dogshit with no animation. Sakadays is a masterpiece compared to that.
>>275311739The fable is the kind of thing you watch for the seiyuus not for the animation alsoThe liveaction>>>>>>>>https://youtu.be/_ZcbiMpmbOQ?si=0fMlXl_OaQ9u3j4x
>>275311774alright thats a good shill, going to read the mangashould i check out the anime too, idk how it lives up to that
>>275311632Tbh, the whole manga was carried hard by Yamaoka. Too bad the sequel is dogshit.
>>275312439>the edgelord carrying the mangaNah
>>275312369The anime it’s a show like early seasons of golden Kamuy, VA’s fest
>>275311475I expected Jackie Chan comedy fight scenes and got exactly what I was looking for
>>275289382What killed the hype
>>275312489Name a memorable villain from the manga who doesn't use the formulaic damsel-in-distress trope as plot device.
>>275312656>He doesnt remember kojimaToo bad for you
Um….is the MC supposed to be an ex-assassin? Not an ex-kung fu master or ex-cultivator sect leader?
>>275312758those things are mutually inclusive. you didn't think agent 47 was doing all that shit without being a cultivator did you?
>>275312727>memorable because of "Do you like sex?" memeOh well. I understand your point.
>>275312928The entire plot of the first big arc of the fable couldn’t be as memorable without the whole yakuza tragedy around him and ebihara. Again, thats your problem but Yamaoka didn’t carried at all the manga, you simple didn’t get a straightforward action series
>>275290065Some people are just born with a level of superhuman strength in this universe.
>>275289382Honestly the animation isn't that bad.Fucking doomposters
>>275289382I like it, but why would I talk about it here?
>>275289382Why is the animation so fucking bad?
They really should've done a catchy song for both the OP/ED because this anime is doomed to be forgotten despite Jump's current second biggest manga.
>>275315061It's so weird to think they botched so hard on the OP/ED when Blue Box got thesehttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d0jg9hNHqn8https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pAjs2GWEZvI
>>275315061That and hot sexy girls like Tatsunaki/Fubuki from the start if they want actual mainstream appeal with the YouTube crowd.Really they could have added some anime original assasin girl like Shin's sister or something.literally every WSJ shounen had this stuff
>>275315061Unironically, I wouldn't mind YOASOBI or Tatsuya Kitani to do the theme songsVaundy's music doesn't work for anime
>>275315214>Vaundy's music doesn't work for animeHe does for Sakamoto ironically. But the song was just plain lazy. Visuals don't help either.
>>275300435Cheapest Fujobait ever
>>275315214Gyakkou in OnePiece was done by him though, and that was epic as hell, but Ado really carried that song.I think Vaundy should just be a producer when writing for anime songs because as a singer he doesn't really have that sweet anime girl otaku tarento celebrity female singer appeal, if you know what I mean. His songs are cool but for anime they need to be performed by these otaku adjacent girl singers to reach full potential.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ws1YxJtVaIM
>>275315214He's better off as a composer. Honestly, there's a reason why most of his songs are performed by other artists instead. His voice is a bit too dull
>>275307194Now see how much action the OnePiece threads got once Uta/Lilith/Gunko were revealed.If the Sakamoto mangaka wanted hype, he'd include more fine waifu ladies from the start.
>muh waifusWaifu brainrot. The manga is doing good numbers without relying on porn girls
>comedy action manga completely disregards the comedic element and just goes for repetitive endless fight arcs without meaningful character development or attachmentSecond time after Mashle, damn
>>275315879You mean people who have never watched the anime or read the manga like with the Carrotfag and TamaPedo?No thanks, we're fine here with Osaragi
>>275315936What comedy did it miss last episode?
>>275289382OH YEAAAAAAAH
>>275312656>who doesn't use the formulaic damsel-in-distress trope as plot device.That's 70% of the manga bro.
>>275289382It can't compete with Solo Leveling.
Man it's depressing how dead this is compared to dandadan episodes
>>275318513Even the manga threads are dead what do you expect?
I feel like the first three episodes killed nips' hopes that this going to be the big anime.
>>275318620The trailers and OP alone killed it. That's not how you advertise your big action series.
>>275318513there's nothing to speculate about and speculation is 90% of discussion"Gee who put out the hit on Sakamoto" it doesn't matter and even the characters directly bringing it up don't give a shit
>>275318620>>275318658At that point, it convinced me that Sakamoto IS NOT the IP that Jump wanted to make it big.
>>275318703It's such an odd decision though. I know Kagurabachi has the much greater global appeal that Jump needed but Sakamoto was able to do just fine to the point of doing 100K consistently. Why sabotage that?
>>275318620If they weren't gonna put out 1punch tier sakuga for every important scene, then they knew this was gonna happen. A manga like Sakamoto is carried by its choreography. If that isn't present then the studio has to compensate.More waifubait = more traction. It's a damn action movie styled adult manga, would it really hurt them to make some filler anime original ecchi bait? Like showing Sakamoto's wife showering or dancing in underwear to some disco music in the bedroom.Usually TMS gets really fitting OSTs and drawn endings openings that stay carved out in your mind due to the visuals resonating with you on multiple levels, Detective Conan ED, Mermaid Forest ED.No, getting some random Vaundy song is not gonna do shit because it's not fitting for the story per se. TMS usually get some lesser known singer anyways as long as the song itself fits. The ED is a dumpster fire for a project of such caliber like Sakamoto I don't even wanna comment on that maid cafe stuff. Something wacky and jazz like the JOJO torture dance song would have fit way better than whatever the Sakamoto ed song is supposed to be.
>>275318771https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NWsUqVhLOoQ
I'm surprised the animation is worse than something like Undead Unluck. I thought Sakamoto Days was more popular. Although I remember the rumor being David Pro wanted UU
J+ gets all the sakuga now. DDD got Science Saru and Kaiju8 got PI.G. Even Oblivion Battery was only selling 7k and got a MAPPA team that put in a lot of effort in the anime and it was merely boosted to 40K
>>275318703>>275318767Even Chihiro ranked higher than Nagumo on a yumejoshi yearly poll and he is Sakadays' most popular character. It just can't win
>>275318795>>275318841Knowing TMS, even with the small budget they got they could've turned Sakamoto into some seinen hidden gem masterpiece if they emphasized the introspection aspect (mostly from Shin's POV because he's relatable the most to the average anime watcher in age AND he has the whole esper mind dialogue thing anyways), added some filler original fanservice ecchi scenes with Sakamoto's wife in shower/underwear since there's no more girl to ecchify at this point in the story and did the trademark well fitting OST selection for Sakamoto and drew something parallelling the story itself even without smooth sakuga animation per se. That's how they usually operate on low budget from the shows I've seen from them anyways. I get the feeling that they didn't really care much for the project in the first place
My schizo theory is that no studio wanted Sakamoto because of the continuous high action scenes and TMS only got it for an easy buck while they focus all their efforts onto Blue Box
>>275319046Sakadays felt like a nightmare to animate in concept. I can see why it would be a chore for most studios to animate.
>>275319046>>275319127Also the lack of down time once it reaches a certain point in the story. .
kagurabchi and gachiakuta are where they put their care
shit edsloppy cheap outsourced animationcomedy is duller for some reasongarbage/10kagurabachi will save us
>>275318703Honestly, you can tell how they feel about Sakamoto
>>275319331I hope Suzuki doesn't hold any grudges toward Takeru. Hayashi already has it out against him.
>>275318767Because it's really hard/expensive to animate good fight scenes and good fight scenes is basically all People Fight is good for.
>>275319287kagurabachi is shit
>>275319502Yet they're going all out on jjk which is fighting: the manga especially the culling game.
>>275319514cope
>>275319502Why didn't TMS rework Sakamoto low budget minmaxxing style like I described here? >>275319012I mean that's what they did in Mermaid Forest, the sakuga was non existent, power point tier but it was still kino because it was directed with care, actual adaptation of the manga characters and good OSTs
>>275319012>I get the feeling that they didn't really care much for the project in the first placeThere are two rumors about Sakamoto's production circulating on internet:One says that animating SD was just a clause in the contract for the license of Blue Box (also produced by TMS with a noticeably bigger budget) because Jump wanted a SD anime but no studio was willing to do it.The other rumor claims that originally Sakamoto had a bigger budget that TMS used instead in another production (either Blue Box or Rick & Morty) and left the people working in SD with pocket change.
>>275289382Netflix is utterly unable of making a successful anime.>jojo 6carried insanely by being fucking Jojo, got memory holed>Dungeon meshibasically a western cartoon, succeeded due to dub normalfags unironically. not anime for all intents and purposes >sakamotoruined no matter the hype I hate those kikes so much
>>275319514People like shit, as demonstrated by JJK.
>>275319287>kagurabachi will save usok, Sakamoto Days is mediocre, but I read Kagurabachi and that one is dogshit even a good animation studio wouldn't save it
>>275320662>>275321850You don't need to samefag just to bump this thread
>>275321911theyre not wrong though
>>275320587Netflix didn't make even a single frame of any of those anime. Stop falling for youtuber agendas
>>275320587I really don't know exactly what's the problem with Netflix. I liked every Jojo season before 6, then my interest fizzled out while watching it. Same thing happened with Dungeon Meshi; I enjoyed the manga, watched a few episodes of the anime, then lost interest. Meanwhile, anime like Under Ninja or No Guns Life had shit animation yet I enjoyed them a lot while they were airing, along with a few other anons.I don't like using this word, but maybe soulless is the best way to describe Netflix adaptations. It's like they have a knock-off Midas touch that only coats the outside in gold while the inside remains low quality.
>>275315214Vaundy worked pretty well for Ousama Ranking, but the action in that show was, how to put it, slower paced?
After 3 episodes I've come to the conclusion the only reason the manga is popular is because of the art and to a lesser extend the feel of the fights, because everything else sucks. Will I at least have a fun time reading the manga if I turn my brain off?
>>275324691>I've come to the conclusion the only reason the manga is popular is because of the art and to a lesser extend the feel of the fights, because everything else sucks. Correct.>Will I at least have a fun time reading the manga if I turn my brain off?If you can ignore how poorly written the flashback arc is, maybe.
Is the animation powerpoint, or is there some hope yet?
>>275289382This ahit can be spammed all over social media but I ask about dandadan and this is fine. Fuck you /a/
>>275297326they just mean desaturated colors and heavy compositing/filtering
>>275290065I guess it is kinda Spy x Family level of powers.
Why is this so dead? I thought it was supposed to be the next big thing
>>275327780its mogged by medalist
>>275318703What I don't get though, is that Kagurabachi came about after all the production details for Sakamoto were sorted out. At that point Sakamoto was their ONLY chance at replacing JJK and they merely lucked into getting another just before it finished. They're idiots. That's the only explanation that works.
>>275294543i hate how people look at mappa like this when despite production problems their anime are typically better than the industry standard, certainly better than this anyway
>>275328430TMS, according to their own promotion and details for SD's production, came in super early for Sakamoto, said it'd be an anniversary project (which should have aired last year if that was the case) and had a whole media mix plan ready.I doubt jump is happy with the result. At least now they have KGB and Ichi I guess.
>>275327780>>275321474
