The anime adaptation of Yuto Suzuki’s Sakamoto Days manga was previously lined up for a January 2025 premiere, and now we have an exact date to look forward to. The main trailer and a new key visual made their way online this week, bringing with them confirmation that the anime will premiere in Japan on January 11, 2025.
That run will continue with a second cour that’s currently set to premiere sometime in July 2025.
You can see the latest footage along with a preview of Vaundy’s opening song, “Hashire SAKAMOTO,” in the video below, followed by the new visual.

Following the premiere, the series will stream on Netflix.
The Sakamoto Days anime has Masaki Watanabe (the first Bartender anime) as director, with Taku Kishimoto (BLUE LOCK: Episode of Nagi) on series composition and Yo Moriyama on character designs for the TMS Entertainment production.
The Sakamoto Days manga has been running in the pages of Weekly Shonen Jump since November 2020, with 18 volumes out in Japan as of this writing. VIZ Media publishes the manga in English and describes the story like so:
Sakamoto Days Plot
Time has passed peacefully for Sakamoto since he left the underworld. He’s running a neighborhood store with his lovely wife and child and has gotten a bit…out of shape. But one day a figure from his past pays him a visit with an offer he can’t refuse: return to the assassin world or die!
