Specialises in hidden gems, isekai, and anything with great world-building.
Sakamoto Days Season 2, in plain terms
The pitch has not changed and it is still a great one: the world's deadliest hitman retired, got married, gained weight, and now runs a corner shop. People keep trying to kill him. He would very much prefer to be restocking shelves.
The basics
- Where to watch: Netflix, with weekly episode drops in most regions.
- Season 1 is available in full and is worth watching first.
- Studio: TMS Entertainment.
What Season 2 is doing
- A bigger organisation plot. Season 1 was largely episodic; Season 2 commits to a longer storyline with a proper antagonist group.
- More of Shin and Lu, the supporting cast who carry a lot of the comedy.
- Longer, better-choreographed fights. The action is the main reason the show travels on social media.
Why people like it
It is one of the few action-comedies where the comedy is genuinely the point. Sakamoto is a competent, deadpan adult protagonist rather than an ambitious teenager, and the fights are staged around avoiding killing anyone - which produces far more creative choreography than a standard shonen brawl.
Is it beginner-friendly?
Very. No world-building homework, no glossary of powers, no long-running lore. If you like John Wick with jokes, that is close enough.
