Uuuuuh well, Sakamoto Days not getting luck with the studio was something we knew. Maybe that's me, but the opening doesn't look as good as the previous Jump series we have had last year.

Interesting screencap I found from a BTS video of the cover being put together. Pretty safely confirms the relative tier of every series except Roboco because she transcends that somehow, but I'm more surprised by the fact even the poses are decided on by editorial beforehand since I've thought for the longest time the mangaka were just told a theme and to run with it — I guess this makes a lot more sense though. Saves wasted time. I wonder if it's the same for just regular covers, and mangaka have little control over things like composition and such and are just told to follow along the lines of what someone else has already drawn up and then are given notes to tweak it as needed. That's kinda lame. Only real difference I can pick out of the one above and the final product is that Suzuki went with the skinny version of Sakamoto.
Very interesting, so pretty much confirms the "current tiers", the only surprise here is that they actually demoted Akane, i thought it was still in the same tier 2 since it looked bigger than the Yozakura & cia tier, and it's quite fascinating to see that despite sales drop and pretty bad ToC placements Kill Blue had never been demoted to the bottom in the group covers while Chojo still stuck in the bottom despite being a year old series already, i have seen so many bigger series being pushed to the back of these covers when they start to lose sales and rank worse but KB still holding it there, makes me thing it really has a anime decided already.

Yeah, I'm not particularly impressed. Poor animation can be supplemented by an interesting direction but so far I'm seeing neither. It just looks really cheap, especially for an opening of all things. That's supposed to be a series at its absolute finest. Best hope is they make like Yozakura and pull out the big guns for the second opening but... Oh well, at least the song is fantastic. Vaundy for Sakamoto was an amazing choice.

Wow. I mean, I'm still going to wait until the show comes out of course, but nearly everything that comes out does not give me any confidence at all...

Worse than cheap. Feels like they didn't even try to make it look fun.

It's actually funny when you think about Sakamoto Days manga being so much known for the fight & action scenes but meanwhile, the anime so far in all trailers and even the opening, has totally run away from showing action scenes :grin

And yeah, the opening is really mediocre visually.

i will just gonna see how the episodes gonna be but mannn... opening should be the full highlight of the show, espcially for something like sakamoto days that started its big chunk as an action comedy.

the scenes is all too moody... the animations is soo eww...


why not just first half of sakamotos crazy gag actions and than on the ending doing the moody shii,.. the direction is so ass mann omgg bruhhh

dont tell me that kill blue might get a better adaption, pleaaasee dont do this

....Why does the action look so sluggish. Like they're just flailing about in the climactic action scene. It's not like TMS is an utterly shit studio, the Dr. Stone op 1 was much better than this with some cool imagery and colors.

My bet is that this will end up like Toriko, it'll get a decent boost but be robbed by not actually capturing the manga's appeal (and I'm not saying it'll get the same boost like Toriko, not even Dandadan or Kaiju got a boost as good as it, different industry and all that.)

I'll actually cry.

According to my source, it happened because Sakamoto covered Chihiro’s face in the last wsj banners

Honestly I actually wish for Kill Blue to get a great adaptation and boost cause it would be very funny seeing the reactions here
I do jest about my previous comment (though I do wholeheartedly hate the series) but it would be good for WSJ and the print industry, plus I like Fujimaki as an author so I wouldn't be too mad. Though I'd be pretty happy they cooked with a Kindergarten Wars anime instead.

Anyway, the actual point of my post.

1. Ichi the Witch
2. Kagurabachi
3. Akane-banashi

4. Mission: Yozakura Family
5. The Elusive Samurai

Good chapters this week. I actually found Chojo slightly funny as well, so honorable mention to a series that usually doesn't make me laugh.

Oh, and I forgot to mention, but Hakutaku actually had a spark this chapter. Like I could actually see some good ideas in it. I kind of feel bad for the series anyway, with other flops, I just think "good riddance" when they go, but this series kind of just elicits pity from me.

Well now that the Sakamoto Days opening is here, I will give my anniversary moment later today, for those that celebrate their x5 & x0 years.
