Sakamoto Days Anime “Chaos” Ranks High on Netflix
After a long wait, fans of the action manga are buzzing about Sakamoto Days, which has been successfully adapted into an anime. Despite only releasing two episodes so far, Sakamoto Days has undeniably captured significant attention in the manga/anime community in recent years.
According to statistics, just the first episode on Netflix saw Sakamoto Days set a record as the anime with the highest viewership on its release day in Netflix history, surpassing the series Banki Hanma in its second season, as Netflix began reporting viewer numbers.
Sakamoto Days has garnered 8.6 million views (with viewing time counted from the moment it was released until the end of the episodes). This figure also helped Sakamoto Days climb to the second position in the list of non-English shows with the highest viewership on Netflix during its initial launch, only behind Squid Game.
The viewing statistics from Netflix are based on “sharing viewing times for all available content.” Therefore, the data for the first episode of Sakamoto Days is considered quite accurate.
Sakamoto Days Anime is Highly Anticipated
Set in a world where the profession of assassination is too mundane, Sakamoto Tarou – the legendary hitman – faces various challenges while still having enemies seeking to confront him. Together with his “retired” partner Shin and a group of friends, Sakamoto will fight to protect his peaceful life and family, which he always prioritizes above all.
This anime adaptation of the manga is also expected to continue breaking more records on Netflix. Meanwhile, many fans are eagerly anticipating this manga/anime to stand out compared to numerous other works that have been released and have been struggling for many years.
