Get ready for a new phase! The second part of Sakamoto Days officially arrives on Netflix soon. The new stage focuses on intense action, leaving the moments Slice of Life in the background.
Taro Sakamoto and Shin Asakura will return to the battlefield to protect those who love. Now the mission to kill Sakamoto reaches a new level among the killers.
Arrests, exams and infiltrations in the new arch
The first part adapted chapters 1 to 37 of the manga. However, it cut Slice of Life excerpts, which divided opinions among the fans. These scenes could have helped in the rhythm of the story, especially since some struggles showed little fluidity. Still, the anime advanced to chapter 37. Thus, part 2 will continue adapting the arc of the prisoners of the death corridor (chapters 32 to 54). In this bow, X releases criminals and sends them to kill Sakamoto.
From now on, the light moments will be rare. The story adopts a more direct tone, with constant confrontations and growing tension with each episode. In addition to this arc, it is possible that the anime advances until the JCC transfer exam (chapters 55 to 72). You can also start the infiltration arc in JCC (chapters 73 to 104). In these phases, Sakamoto and Shin try to access JCC organization data to find clues about Slur.
Worldwide animation and distribution quality
The animation received criticism of static scenes and without visual impact. Despite this, the new trailer pleased part of the audience with vibrant colors and more movement. As production was already underway, profound changes seem unlikely. Still, fans expect specific improvements in fighting. Another problem of part 1 was the early release on Netflix Japan. Episodes came out a week before the international version, causing general dissatisfaction.
The expectation is that part 2 correct this. Netflix to release the episodes globally on Mondays, with subtitles and voiceovers in various languages. Sakamoto Days will remain exclusive to the platform, at least until the end of the current season.
