Written by Yuto Suzuki, the Sakamoto Days manga has been a marginal cult classic for years now; the manga debuted in 2020 and has quietly attracted a large fanbase who love the quirky action-comedy take on the hitman sub-genre. Fans have been demanding an anime adaptation for years now and recently, some outlets reported that Netflix listed the project as an upcoming one as part of its Netflix Anime brand. At the time, we did not report on it because it was just a rumor and a plain list with no official confirmation, so it did not seem overly reliable, and it turns out that our assumption was correct.

Hideo Jojo's career began directing pink films before gradually expanding beyond erotic productions. Projects like “On the Edge of Their Seats” would demonstrate his range as a filmmaker whose work can reach a wider audience. However, a recent feature of his, “Twilight Cinema Blues,” is a mixed bag. It's a well-intended, feel-good drama with a promising set-up that occasionally delivers, yet it comes out being, at best, passable.
