SAKAMOTO DAYS is one of the most popular Shonen Jump manga in the publication for some very good reasons. With the manga’s mix of some insane action sequences and bizarre-sometimes veering into the surreal-comedy bits, it’s pretty clear that Yuto Suzuki has a winning formula on their hands. The manga having over five million copies in circulation as of May 2024 is just more evidence of how good it is.

Thus, it’s not really all that surprising to learn that SAKAMOTO DAYS will soon finally get an anime adaptation. Not only that, but it’s heading to Netflix to boot. Don’t believe me? Then why not check out the official teaser below, and see for yourself if this is the kind of action anime for you?

Not only that, but Netflix even announces we will get to see this anime sometime in January 2025. Of course, it will be a Netflix exclusive, so you will need a paid subscription to watch it.
