The Sakamoto Days adaptation has been controversial related to cartoon quality. Many people compare animation scenes with manga comic frames, with the purpose of proving that the film adaptation is not equal to the original work.

This is the latest way of controversy, when a user compares a recent scene of the anime with the original frame in the manga. Looking at the image above, it is clear that the original image is much more meticulous and provides more details than the simple design of the scene in the anime. The user wrote: “Each important frame is adapted in a very cheap way. It is really difficult to protect this anime.”
The Sakamoto Days anime has continuously received criticism from before release
Fans complain that the production team at TMS Entertainment decided to focus more on the aspect of real life rather than fighting. This leads to the quality of animation that does not convince most people, even worse in the most important parts of the story.
However, it is necessary to admit that these ideas are completely subjective, because you must know the original and knowledgeable work about this industry to determine the quality of an anime set is good or bad. However, “Sakamoto Days” is still a topic of discussion of critics in this anime season, especially because fans have acclaimed the film for months as “the best anime in winter in 2025”.
Here are some comments of fans Sakamoto Days about the above issue:
– It is ridiculous, there is no meaning at all. If you look through the viewfinder at this short distance, you will not see anything. He had to move away and shoot from his hips to hit the target. Is this a battle between fans?
– What does this manga mean? Nobody watches sniper rifles at this distance with the viewfinder. This must be a shot from the hip. Is it drawing without any knowledge about weapons?
– The author of Sakamoto Days doesn't know anything about weapons, right? If you don't even have that knowledge, no matter how beautiful you draw, the picture will lose appeal.
– Is this comic series fans strangers like Chainsaw Man fans?
– In general, a well -painted manga is often not improved by anime.
– The author's drawing has no impact. Just know how to create static images. It seems that he does not understand how to show movement in the reader's mind. If you use this drawing style, you should clearly distinguish between the moment of action and the quiet moment.
– Is there any mangaka drawing a character with a closed eye closed at the line?
– They just need to copy the layout and posture from the manga, but they have tried to bring unnecessary creativity into it and ruin it.
– It is strange that the anime quality is lower than the manga.
