>2025>I am forgottenWhy did Sakamoto Days fail while Dandadan won?
>>282775752While s2 was better, s1’s awful animation was not a good first impression for anime onlies. It killed the hype
>>282775752Sakadays will get another season, mid mi mid cuck cu cuck wont
>>282775752>Let's adapt a manga known for its dynamic art but remove the dynamism from it
SD is shit barring its action, so make it mediocre and you only have shit left.As a manga it's super empty.
It's a pure kino fightfag show with no flashing colors, big romances, or any big female leads, it doesn't lend itself well at all for thread discussions
>>282775752Netflix paid everyone to promote DDD, and then they thought the people would do it for free for Sakamoto, as simple as that.
>>282775752>>282775801I'm anime only for both of them, so I can't speak to the quality of the source material or how well adapted they were, but from my perspective the main factor was that Sakamoto Days was simply less interesting than Dandadan.The animation quality wasn't a huge factor, both were good enough to not be a problem, the difference was largely in how engaging the stories were. I don't care about Sakamoto's family, I feel no tension from his fights, most of the cast is outright annoying and I miss Lu. Dandadan was overall decent, SD was a chore
damn, even this thread proves how dead SD is lmao.
>>282776451Anime only too, Dandadan was boring at first but the premise grew on me. Aira is the best. But the Evil Eye arc was too long. Meanwhile Sakamoto Days had an amazing premise for the first episode but then you realize that yeah, it's a good premise but you can't do a lot with it. Also the openings are way less catchy than Dandadan's and anime nowadays basically live or die based on their predisposition to get in TikTok and Instagram Reels.
If only they did more episodes with best girl

>>282775752SD>8/10 story with 6/10 adaptationDDD>6/10 story with 8/10 adaptation
>>282778756>sakadays>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>8/10 story
>>282775752Just look at the poster. As a bored outsider who knows nothing about the show, does this look interesting at all to you.
>>282776451Sakadays manga is completely carried by its fantastic art and choreography, just a "decent" adaptation was never going to be enough to do it justice.
The bird guy from sd was way cooler in the manga. I imagined his voice being a dopey stoner with a deep voice.
>>282775752Because only the first few chapters of the manga were good, after that it stops being a parody of action movies.
>>282775752The romance was weak
>i need to raise the stakes>time to introduce a bunch of foreign S rank assassins who all have their own gimmick ninjitsujapanese hackery
>>282779645They have a whole purge arc going on right now though
>>282775752Shin sucks, S1 sucked, JCC arc took too long and was mostly shit. I got tired of seeing the word DATABASE. The manga has gone downhill. Action is still great, but the plot is garbage.
>>282776451Man, Lu fucking deserved better. She was my favourite character and she got sidelined hard.
