Sakamoto Days Anime Airs on Netflix in 2025

Netflix shared a new trailer and release window update for the Sakamoto Days anime adaptation. It will come to the streaming service in January 2025. 

We first learned about the Sakamoto Days anime back in May 2024. Back then, a January 2025 air date was confirmed for Japan. However, a worldwide release and home wasn’t noted at the time. 

Here’s the latest trailer. English subtitles are available if closed captions are turned on. It goes over the general premise of the series. That is, Taro Sakamoto used to be a legendary hitman. When he met his future wife, he retired and started a family. Now he runs a store. However, his past catches up with him, so Sakamoto needs to rely his skills and the help of some other allies he works with and knows to protect his family and new life.

While the manga series has been running in Japan since 2020, it took a few years for it to show up worldwide. Viz Media began releasing volumes of it in English in April 2022.

The anime adaptation of Sakamoto Days will air on Netflix in January 2025, and the manga is handled by Viz Media outside Japan.
