Sakamoto Days And More Anime Coming to Netflix – IGN The Fix: Entertainment – IGN

The highly anticipated anime Sakamoto Days is finally coming to Netflix, and they gifted us with this new trailer for the upcoming series. Fans have been begging for the popular Shonen Jump series to be made into an anime for several years, since it popped onto the scene back in 2020. For the uninitiated, the story centers on a retired hitman who settles into a peaceful lifestyle with his family. But it gets disrupted when some of his former colleagues start gunning for him, so he has to come out of retirement and give them the business. While the trailer is very short, it gives us a great idea of the action we’ll see play out in the anime, with the titular hero, Taro Sakamoto, in a frenzy of beatdowns. The anime comes to us courtesy of TMS Entertainment. Masaki Watanabe is at the helm as director, and Netflix is currently slated as the only place you can catch the highly anticipated anime series, which is expected to drop sometime in January of 2025. With titles like My Hero Academia over and Jujutsu Kaisen slowly reaching its end, Sakamoto Days is still going strong as one of Shonen Jump’s modern day classics. We’ll definitely be watching this one come next year. That’s not the only anime coming to Netflix – based on the popular video game series, the streaming service showed off the first trailer for Tom Clancy’s Splinter Cell Deathwatch series. We initially got word of this animated series in the works back in 2021, and with this trailer we hear actor Liev Schreiber stepping into the role of Sam Fisher. Based on the trailer, we also know when the animated series takes place within the canon of the video games, presumably after the events seen in Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory.
