Sakamoto Days Part 2
Oshimeter
Synopsis
Once the most feared hitman alive, Tarou Sakamoto is now an overweight convenience store owner in suburban Tokyo, living quietly with his wife Aoi and daughter Hana. The problem is, someone just put a massive bounty on his head, and every assassin in the business wants to collect. Part 2 of this TV series picks up right where things left off: a shadowy figure called Slur has unleashed a squad of death row inmates across Japan, each one targeting Sakamoto or people close to him. These aren't your average hired guns either; they're genuinely unhinged. So Sakamoto has to dust off his skills while still trying to keep his family safe and his store running. What makes this 11-episode run work is how the fights play out. Sakamoto turns grocery store shelves, mops, shopping carts, basically anything within arm's reach, into weapons, and TMS Entertainment animates it all with a fluid, kinetic style that really captures the manga's sense of spatial choreography. The opening track 'Method' by Kroi sets the tone perfectly: funk-rock energy that matches the show's mix of real danger and genuine comedy. If you liked the retired-killer-domestic-life vibe of The Way of the Househusband but wanted actual high-stakes action, or if John Wick's resourceful combat appeals to you, or if Spy x Family's balance of family warmth and espionage tension is your thing, Sakamoto Days threads that same needle with a lot of style.

Never underestimate Granny. A bit slow pacing wise with a lot of downtime between the actual action. Heisuke & Piisuke are wholesome as always with great insight into Sakamoto adapting his fighting style.
Good stuff right here, can't wait for next season!
Part 2 is even better!
Final ep feels more like an incomplete setup than a season finale imo. Exam ends abruptly, but for some reason I didn't feel bored, pacing was good despite the lack of action. It seems the next season will be better, if there is one, lol. Overall, it's worth watching.
Finally, an entire ep filled with action. Pacing was really good and kept me engaged till the end. Though it seemed one sided, Shin and the team help up well, it focuses on both psychological and physical strenght. Ending gets even better with Sakamoto.
Ep start felt good with Shin's side taking focus. Finally, we get to learn why Sakamoto's fan girl became his fan. Action is good considering the slow pacing in the previous eps, ending sets a strong tone with a small cliffhanger that could lead to a wild fight.
Ep builds well on tension, new character's intro is good enough imo, exam setup feels fun with a nostalgic shonen anime vibe. Pacing gets slow but picks up in the middle. Sakamoto's fangirl is interesting. Overall, it's a fun ep with very little revealed about the villains.
Start was slow, but it managed to immerse me once things moved to the sky. Fight wasn't overpowered but it was tricky enough to keep me engaged. Ending is what got me interested for the next ep, not the usual Sakamoto style ending. Loved it and excited to see what's coming.
Sakomot and Shin's Infiltration was fun to watch, pacing starts slow but gets better imo, Slur's past was nothing out of ordinary, overall it kept me excited and engaged, I'm anticipating some good action packed scenes in the next episode.
Ep starts with Slur and his crew's flasback, it was mid, but not bad either. Sakamoto and Shin infiltrate, which feels exciting and gives off nostalgic shonen exam vibes. Fight on a flight is an interesting concept. Overall, it's engaging with slow to normal pacing.
Massacre continues, Slur and Gaku are too overpowered, the badass Takamura makes an epic entrance, Sakamoto and his team facing off with Slur was good, but the fight turns one sided. Even in hospital, Sakamoto isn't left alone, lol. Overall an engaging episode.
The fight continues, however, it feels slow imo. Apart's backstory was okayish, the post fight scenes gave me mixed feelings. However, Slur's reveal was unexpected. Gaku and Slur massacring the JAA building was dark and interesting to watch. It helped the slow start fade away.
Ep starts with an old lady treating Shin, and Sakamoto is at ??%, it was shocking, you'll know after watching. Despite staying his fat form, the fight was epic and fast paced. Aoi threat builds tension but cools down with the unexpected reveal. Overall, it was an exciting one.
I like the Sakamoto Days series, but this episode exceeded my expectations. The battle between the calm Osaragi and the arrogant Dump was a real treat to watch. It was a brief yet exciting fight in which Osaragi proves she’s an incredibly strong character.
I was excited to watch Shin fight Saw with his new powers, however, Lu came out as a surprise, you guys should see her awakening, lol, and the fight between Osagi and Dump feels intense yet subtle, episode ends with a totally unexpected cliffhanger!!!
thought it'll be a cool ep, but ended up as a badass one, it starts cold, transitions smoothly to the main part of the episode, the switch from a usual atmosphere to an intense one, especially Shin, you'll know it when you watch it, overall it keeps you hooked
A confident, character-focused finale that honours the final episode. While it lacks the explosive spectacle of earlier episodes, it makes up for it with heartfelt moments, clever setup, and the series's signature humour
This episode features stunning visuals and blockbuster action, alongside an emotional core. While the pacing is relentless and may not suit everyone, it combines inventive choreography with heartfelt moments.
This episode is a fun, crazy mix of silly jokes and stylish action. It doesn't have the same emotional impact or animation quality as earlier episodes, but it does have memorable character moments and creative fight choreography
What a revelation. lol. I enjoyed watching all the episode in one sitting really. Its fun and uplifting as well. It give you that adrenaline rush while watching, I love storyline, the random jokes, character personality and the entire Sakamoto universe. Mafuyu is the cutest.
