This is the Sakamoto thread to post about Sakamoto (spoiler what the anime hasn't covered yet).




If you actually haven't heard, Haven't You Heard? I'm Sakamoto is basically a manga where the rest of the world is (relatively) mundane but the main character has mastered Jojo posing. It's really dumb and funny.

Midorikawa sounds a little too old for the part but otherwise it's pretty much a perfect adaptation so far.

The first ep was really great gay great!

I'd be totally okay if every story ended with a boy falling for Sakamoto, haha.

The first episode lived up to my expectations. This is definitely going on the watch list.

This is already my favorite show of the season. Sakamoto is the best.

I've never read the manga for this, but after the first episode I'm down for more. A lot of Cromartie vibes, I love it.

Now, listen - I know the two of you are very different from each other in a lot of ways, but you have to understand that as far as Grandpa's concerned, you're both pieces of shit! Yeah. I can prove it mathematically.
This first episode was loving hilarious.

Holy gently caress, could not stop laughing. This is already winner of the unexpected comedy of the season.

Exactly what I wanted. So glad to see it get an anime considering the manga came out at a snail's pace. Could not stop laughing and I'm pretty sure that's the best OP of the season. I cannot wait for my personal favorite chapter to be adapted, the one with the girl with the camera.

Sakamoto is perfect. :allears:

Looks like someone hasn't read the manga yet. This is almost guaranteed to be good.

I just hope this anime gets subbed consistently to make up for the manga which either gets a chapter every year or has no one translating it, I'm not sure which, but if it is the latter then it's a darn shame because this is really good.

i think the manga got licensed, that being why scanlations dried up.

edit: yep; the 3rd volume drops later this month in fact.

I bought the first volume at Anime Boston but I didn't want to spoil myself for the adaptation. This is beautiful, I love the BGM, but I love Sakamoto most of all. My hero and idol.

It's literally just the manga animated, they're sticking to it pretty hard and the one mediocre bit of padding is the only new thing. Sakamoto's the best.

The manga never really did it for me but I think the addition of voice acting, ridiculous sound effects, and the laugh track sorry I mean the girls squealing just takes it to the next level.

If you're not gay for Sakamoto, I highly recommend seeking help.

Man, it's kinda weird hearing Ishida do the sniveling nerd voice, considering his more well known roles.

I love how Acchan's friends are 100% supportive of his crush.

Sakamoto is Bayonetta's son, adopted or not.

He even has witch time.

Silly ideas aside, I really like this show. It's nice that it's keeping the best jokes.

I guess it's only the second episode so it might be too soon to judge, but so far this is still exceptionally funny. I thought the premise was gonna get old much faster.

What a strange episode! Kinda dark overall but Sakamoto being flashy and creative was still really enjoyable to watch :)

Woah I had no idea this existed. I need to catch up...

I would change my orientation for sakamoto.

I can't wait for the episode where he works at mcdonalds.
