Sakamoto desu ga?

Story:[7/10] It is nothing special,just a story about a perfect role model who makes every one fall in love with him.This score was given for the unpredictable moments.I also like to note that the character was flawless and had the ambition to prove to everyone his superiority which for some may be boring but I appreciated it.I also liked how each episode had 1,2 or sometimes 3 different stories collected and put together for one episode,it is a rare thing to see this type of construction in an episode and all they had in common were the characters and that they remembered ,in the end all they have done. Art:[8/10] The art was beautiful to some extent.I liked to see all sorts of situations and places put in an anime style. Sound:[6/10] I liked the intro and the ending music but I can't say otherwise I was very much impressed by what they choose. Character:[10/10] The perfectionist,the devil wears prada type of character,the protagonist had a great sense of humor and a great chance to evolve and I think his year and experience was altered by his classmates.I liked that we had most of the high school types of characters and not just good looking characters,but also delinquents and the model-comedian type who added to the story.I also thought it was quite original how a student's mother was in love with our protagonist but was also weird. Enjoyment:[9/10] Overall I enjoyed it even if it was repetitive at times and the jokes sometimes were flat.I liked it as I said in my story description because we saw all sorts of environments and were thought a little more about the culture of Japan.

This anime is a wild mix of elegance, absurdity, and pure giga chad energy. It’s only 12 episodes long, but man, it leaves a pretty memorable impression. The premise is as ridiculous as it is brilliant — Sakamoto, the main character, is literally flawless. Like, not “he’s good at stuff” flawless, I mean he walks into chaos and comes out like a Vogue cover model. There’s a fire? He handles it. Bullies? Outsmarts them with style. A bee attacks him in class? My guy literally elegantly evades it without even blinking. Watching him is like watching a human version of a cheat code. What I really loved was how over-the-top the show was, but never in a cringey way. It leans into its absurdity so confidently that it becomes its biggest strength. Each episode is filled with hilarious moments where you think “okay, he can’t possibly top this” and then boom — he pulls some next-level smooth move with jazz music playing in the background. One of my favorite moments was when Sakamoto turned cleaning the classroom into an epic performance. I was sitting there like, “Who the hell makes sweeping the floor look cool?” But somehow he did. And don't get me started on the episode where he survives in the wilderness during a storm using school supplies — that was like Bear Grylls meets James Bond. But even though it's a comedy, it surprised me with a little depth too. Like, you start to notice how people around Sakamoto start changing for the better. The bullies soften, the loners gain confidence, even the teachers get shaken up. There's something kinda wholesome underneath all the meme-level coolness. Now, is it perfect? Not really. The formula does start to feel a bit repetitive toward the end — you know he’s always going to outsmart everyone — but the creativity behind how he does it keeps it fun. And some episodes felt a little slower than others, but that’s expected with this kind of episodic humor. Still, for just 12 episodes, it delivers a lot. I laughed out loud multiple times and even rewatched a few scenes just to admire how absurdly classy Sakamoto was. It’s one of those animes you can rewatch when you’re feeling down or just want to enjoy something light and silly that doesn’t try too hard to be deep.

(This review has been adapted from my blog/reddit thread. Spoilers ahead!) I would not consider myself a cool person. Nerdy, sure. Handsome, why not. (At least, that’s what my grandmother tells me whenever I see her.) But not cool. I’m not even kidding. Snowboarding is probably my coolest trait, and, even then, I cannot perform any tricks off ramps or rails for fear of hurting myself unnecessarily. (Falling on my bum is enough pain for me). Although, after watching Sakamoto desu ga?, I may not be as uncool as I once thought. STORY Sakamoto has only one star: Sakamoto. In short, he is beyond stylish. And that’s what the anime almost exclusively focuses on. For twelve straight episodes, Sakamoto (the show) proves why Sakamoto (the man) is the coolest dude to ever live. He doesn’t just play an arcade whack-a-mole game; he plays Bach as he hits the different heads. He gets himself sent out into the hall while in class – to feed and protect a dying baby sparrow. He picks up a girl’s eraser, uses it furiously, then gives it back, allowing the girl to calm down her nerves and warm her hands from the heat created by the intense friction. Obviously, there are way too many instances to list because, to reiterate, the anime is literally all about Sakamoto being insanely cool ad infinitum. Which leads into the show’s most arguable aspect: the main joke itself. On the one hand, the audience always “knows” what’s going to happen. It doesn’t matter if the situation looks completely grim, if Sakamoto is doing something weird, or if nothing is happening at all. The show will make sure that the coolest guy ever is the coolest guy ever. In this way, the anime loses out on suspense and intrigue since the outcome is already “known” beforehand. On the other hand, this joke is the whole point of the show. It’s obvious that the anime will not be doing more than making Sakamoto out to be a cool cat, so it is almost unfair to expect anything else to happen. Plus, the anime does a nice job of spinning the mundane scenarios that Sakamoto finds himself in with crazy yet plausible coolness. Disregarding the contention of repetition, Sakamoto does choose to follow some questionable routes. For instance, the entire subplot with Fukase is odd. Having this antagonist appear way too late into the season is one issue, but it is his conclusion and relation that creates the biggest head-scratcher. As has been mentioned many a time already, Sakamoto is an anime about a super-cool dude. By extension, it’s also about how everyone else views him as cool, too. But not Fukase. He never actually concedes to Sakamoto’s coolness, “losing” by trickery and betrayal. In other words, the anime fails to fulfill its promise that Sakamoto is, in fact, the coolest dude around (to everybody else). The show also has the problem of regressing on its already-finished outcomes. Characters that were helped, such as Atsushi and Yuuya, are affected by Sakamoto’s cool aura, but the anime will later choose to have these same people go against Sakamoto again, removing the purpose or impact of their earlier interactions with the king of cool. Ambiguity in the ending also does not help the anime’s execution. His leave comes out of nowhere, and his sentimental appeal is lost on the audience since he never really seemed to connect with any of the other students emotionally But when all is said and done, Sakamoto has an underlying message that may not be clear since it is hidden behind the comedy and these problems. Once again, Sakamoto is no doubt a cool guy. But what makes him cool? Is it those quirky moves that he employs from time to time? Is it those girls that constantly flock around him? Is it his general demeanor? No. It is none of those qualities. It’s true that Sakamoto kicking a rock along a slanted ramp while defying gravity is cool. Him defeating one of the bigger punks of the school at a game of pushing sumo makes him cooler than most. But what makes him the coolest is his friendship with Kubota, his way of inspiring others to be better people, and his general sense of selflessness. That is, what’s coolest is being a genuinely good person. And that, if nothing else, makes the narrative a meaningful one. ANIMATION Much of Sakamoto finds itself with mixed art and animation. Art-wise, the show succumbs to its boring setting. The school and nearby town do not lend themselves to immense creativity and, as a result, the anime fails to be captivating visually. Granted, it does what it can. Sakamoto’s different “secret techniques,” such as “Sleepover PE” or “Wind with No Destination (Straw Cigarette)”, add some much-needed flair with sparkles, colors, and a display of words. Furthermore, a lot of Sakamoto’s different actions are given better lighting, accentuating the “holiness” that Sakamoto seems to exude. The character designs likewise meet a mixed fate. To be fair, they are what they should be: realistic, plain people. But they don’t do much to appeal to the audience. The exception, of course, is Sakamoto. The mole near his eye, his toned physique, his proper outfit, his tallness, and his sharp features turn him into the attractive, cool man he is supposed to be. To be fair again, the other characters are not without their own physical traits. Indeed, Kubota’s squat face or Yuuya’s big belly highlight Sakamoto’s design that much more. But it is hard to see their designs as anything more than passable. Actual-animation-wise, Sakamoto performs similarly. Perhaps obviously, the anime reserves most of its movement and resources for Sakamoto’s various exploits. Jumping onto debris in a swift river, competing in a snowball fight, and parachuting out of a window using a makeshift device are just some the many events involving Sakamoto that get animated throughout the season. Meaning, everyone who isn’t Sakamoto has seen better days. Lots of streaky backgrounds, non-moving bodies, and general nuance (such as eye and hair shifts) are hardly seen from the side characters. Although even Sakamoto cannot evade the low-quality animation hammer. Cleaning the ceiling while avoiding the dust that falls is given multiple still shots to mirror movement, and creating centrifugal wind through a video-rental store sees a similar effect. These examples, however, can be forgiven since they are used for cool, comedic effect. CHARACTERS There’s not a whole lot to say about Sakamoto’s characters. And this void leads to both intentional and unintentional outcomes. Looking at the side characters first, they are more or less a single trait, missing out on characterization let alone development. Kubota is the loner. Kakuta is the mean teacher. Kuronuma is the popular girl. And so on and so forth. Their singular purpose is to demonstrate that Sakamoto cannot be phased, cannot be thrown for a loop, and cannot be anything but cool. Which works. It’s fun seeing Sakamoto one-up the college students, and it’s hilarious to watch the mean ring-leader unable to cope with Sakamoto’s insane attention to servitude. Unfortunately, the anime pays a price for only having its side cast exist under the same category: severely unengaging personalities. They simply lack the necessary intrigue to make them worthwhile characters – both for the audience and for the show itself. As for Sakamoto, surprisingly, next to nothing is given about him. Kubota even makes a comment about this – that he barely inquired about the coolest dude in the world. Because he didn’t, the audience likewise knows very little about Sakamoto. His family. His interests. His overall feelings as a person. Nothing is given. This lack of information creates mystery surrounding his origins and self in general, fueling his cool flame further. Plus, the adage “actions speak louder than words” work wonders here to visually demonstrate who and what makes up Sakamoto. The only other tidbit about the characters that could be said is through the reversal in th…

I have to say I did really enjoy this anime. This is the first anime I've completed in a few years now, though to be fair, that doesn't say much because I haven't watched anime since 2012 and even some of what I consider to be my favorite animes of all time I never actually bothered to finish to the end. I wouldn't recommend it for people looking for a real story line or any real character development, since the show runs with the idea of Sakamoto being perfect and sticks with it throughout, but if you're looking for a pretty light hearted comedic anime for the purpose of being just that, you'll get quite some laughs out of it. The show is truly unique though, nonetheless, though I feel like it weighs in just a bit on certain anime stereotypes that work for it. I personally consider it a favorite of mine in the comedy genre. No, it's not the most memorable anime and not amongst some of the best, but it is highly enjoyable and different and for someone such as myself who is only just now kinda-sorta-maybe getting back into anime, it's good enough. There's also a very interesting and popular theory surrounding the ending and why Sakamoto is the way he is that I won't go into depth about as it may potentially spoil something.

"Everything he does is COOL! COOLER! COOLEST!" Sakamoto is the perfect student. He is popular, handsome, intelligent, and everything else. He is the one everyone wanna be. Keep in mind that this is a comedy, it doesn't take the story seriously, after all it's just a story about a perfect guy. STORY - 4/10 Even if this anime focuses on comedy, it still needs a story. Well, the story is NOT the point in this show. It's just as it is, nothing more, nothing less. If you're looking for an anime with a great story and turnabouts, watch Steins;Gate, because Sakamoto Desu Ga? is NOT for you. ART - 8/10 One of the best points in this show! The style here is awesome! Well, if it will make you laugh, at least it will not be for being poorly done. SOUND - 8/10 The sound and the soundtrack is pretty good here. It's consistent and present everytime. The songs fits perfectly with the moment, it's happy when it has to be and sad when it has to be. CHARACTER - 10//10 GIVE THIS A 10 OUTTA 10!! The characters in this anime are really, and I mean REALLY, AWESOME! Every character has a backstory and something unique with them. Not something you will remember here on 10 years, but something well done! This is the most important part in a comedy show. ENJOYMENT - 9/10 I enjoyed my time watching Sakamoto Desu Ga?. It was really fun and sometimes I got myself laughing hard in some parts of this show. It's so fun, I remember every single joke and I still laugh every single time I heard them in this show, just like Soul Eater. OVERALL - 7/10 I recommend this to everyone looking for an anime focused on comedy. If you wanna a well-written story with turnabouts and things like this, this anime is not for you.

So cool, so cool. He is the coolest character. From washing plates to molding flour to everything you could ever imagine, he does all of it in the coolest way possible. Ladies-no, even males get enamored by this man's coolness it's so unfair! How could such a human being exist? No, wait, is he even human? Whatever his identity is, one thing's for sure. He's the one and only coolest guy that you will ever see in your entire life. What?! Who the heck am I talking about?! Haven't you heard about him?! I'm talkin' about SAKAMOTO! Sakamoto desu ga is an anime adapted from a manga by Sano. I read a few chapters of it back then when it was still on its early stage and I found myself interested but a little disappointed due to the fact that the manga releases were quite few some years ago. And now it has become an anime and having seen that title, I immediately remembered and thought "Wohooo...It's SAKAMOTO!" except not! I wasn't really surprised given that I have read some of the manga chapters already and I found myself enjoying it at that time so adaptation was kind of imminent and hey, let's give this show a try and see if it'll manage to live up to my expectations(which were slightly above normal) and I needed some fun in my life anyway after so much depression Undertale caused me(ye ye I'm a pansy and take games seriously). So with that, I started watching Sakamoto desu ga. Each episode contained two to three story sections and Sakamoto's the star,like always, which wasn't bad because I have to admit, he was truly a cool and a likeable guy but perhaps that's just what my girl hormones is trying to make me feel, anyway, he was so cool and so funny in everything he does that I always find myself laughing already even just upon hearing that goofy cool Sakamoto theme song that's played whenever he was now about to show an absurdly, ridiculous yet cool "technique" to end a problem in a very neat and again, a very cool way. Surely, you have noticed that I used the word "cool" excessively but I have to put so much emphasis to that because that's the point! You should watch this show just to see how COOL Sakamato is. Anyway, it's still early for you to get convinced so I will now further enhance my skills to GENUINELY convince you to watch it. Ehermm...You must be thinking that Sakamoto's only quality is his coolness...well, you're right, that could be his only quality but I have to say now, Sakamoto has become the star of the show only because of the strong supporting cast and add to that his coolness and Sakamoto desu ga truly became such an entertaining show that combined everything from comedy to little drama to some bittersweet romance - it was really a fun ride overall. Music department, hoho, proved to be quite commendable as well which I realized maybe too late? Anyway, about EXACTLY halfway of the show, I took notice of the variety of instruments used on the BGMs and they were handled greatly, not that I'm a music hardcore fan, but I really found myself getting carried away by the arrangement and the scene made an even more impact to me than that in the manga. And since I'm a piano fan, I also fell in love with the piano theme BGMs which thankfully, were quite a handful. And to ignore the supporting casts would be an act of heresy so I'll now tell you how amazing these people were and how they managed to be so likeable like the protagonist of the show. To make it clear and to avoid excessive spoilers, I'll just mention some few characters which I won't say if they're the best supporting casts or not. That's for you to figure out once you watch the show. So first we have Aina Kuronuma, a cute,conniving, seductive girl that likes Sakamoto, actually, almost everybody likes Sakamoto but that's not what I'm trying to say. Given her characteristics, it was pretty much obvious that this girl is the type that acts all cutesy but beneath that veil lies an evil intent and you are correct. She really is a little bit of a sweet yet evil girl trope. Still, what's wrong with adding some ugliness? That's what humans are and the show never did shy away about the dark realities of life which made for an even enganging situation. Course', Sakamoto Desu ga is not a dark, depressing show. So the characters will change from being a very despising person to a slightly less atrocious human being in the blink of an eye but the way it was done - it all felt natural. And with each last few minutes of each episodes, I found myself smiling telling to myself how Sakamoto ended everything so neatly and so heartwarmingly again. And again, with each few last minutes of each episode, the supporting casts were given some great character developments that I can't help but feel satisfied every week back when it was still ongoing. Yeah, also noone could ever forget Acchan(actually forgot his real name) - an "uke" ,hrm, clearly he's a freakin' fujoshi bait! I have to admit he was a very funny guy and I can't help but pair him up with Sakamoto and Hayabusa or whatever and I must add, he's voiced by Gintoki's VA. Ahg, an eargasmic voice he has....OK.. Sorry, this is digressing too much. Anyway, Acchan was a delinquent and Sakamoto straightened him up. That will happen in the first episode so spoiled you there, but really, how Sakamoto changed him was what really mattered as it's golden. It's really funny remembering that scene what with the ridiculousness of Sakamoto's antics, they just never grow old even if you had anticipated it. The animation also did its job well. Cool, just like Sakamoto. Sakamoto Desu ga was truly an entertaining show. It was ridiculously hilarious, well deserved of its genre, and offers a variety of gags to keep it fresh even until the last episode. Impressively done cute dramas that never felt forced and heartwarming conclusions to every problems that arise in every episodes coupled with loveable casts truly make for a nice heartfelt experience that I haven't felt since a long time in my life. So surely you've heard it clearly now, how COOL Sakamoto really is.

Calling Sakamoto Desu Ga a comedic masterpiece would be an understatement, not to mention trite on my part, so I’ll call it what it is: Sakamoto is a poignant comedic melodrama that not only makes you laugh often, but also packs an outstanding final moral that retains its comedic impact, but also refrains from sounding preachy. At the same time Sakamoto develops side characters, whilst balancing consistently funny surreal comedy that not only does the aforementioned development of characters, but also criticizes the Gary Stu archetype. In short, I enjoyed this show quite a bit, no that’s wrong, I loved it. But, it had a few issues, more on that later. 1.) Story. Sakamoto is nothing mind-blowing or intricate, it won’t alter your perception of humanity or give you some astounding revelation that will change you forever. Rather, Sakamoto works as an episodic comedy with continuity. Most of the comedy boils down to Swagamoto (I saw this name in another review, credit to whomever wrote it) being impossibly perfect, and due to this perfection some dunce(s) decides to outdo Swagamoto but ultimately gets defeated. That is Sakamoto in its entirety. Without visual accompaniment I can’t thoroughly describe Sakamoto’s brand of comedy without saying, “Crazy shit happens, and it’s obvious that the animators had loads of fun breaking the laws of physics, via Swagamoto’s undeniable swagger.” While this act remains funny throughout, some of Swagamoto’s antics can get tiring-seriously, what was up with Swagomoto constantly manipulating air?-especially when the punchline never changes. It can get boring admittedly, chiefly in the intermittent episodes (7 and 8 I think?). Nonetheless, it still remained interesting. I smiled at the secondary characters, and still enjoyed the majority of these ‘boring’ episodes. So, I award Sakamoto a solid 8/10 for story, only deducting two points for some repetitive humor, and the same punchline being recycled. 2.) Characters. By far the most incredible thing about Sakamoto is humanizing its secondary characters. Unfortunately, this depth cannot be extended to Swagamoto himself, which, honestly is ok, that’s the joke anyway! He’s unbelievably perfect, and I wouldn’t have it any other way. With Swagamoto himself constantly giving life lessons, or bolstering a classmate’s confidence I thought for sure, “Ok, they’re going to pull in new retards each episode to look dumb for laughs. Got it.” But, no, that’s not the case. Sakamoto utilizes the same characters, giving them arcs and the needed depth to keep an anime afloat. There was a certain amount of intimacy I felt with these secondary characters due to their humanity. For Sakamoto’s characters I award a 9/10, deducting one point for Swagamoto’s character, or rather, lack thereof. Not saying Swagamoto himself isn’t a good character! Just that he lacks humanity. 3.) Art. Impressive, very impressive, minimal frame stutters, and appropriate usage of still-frames. It’s a pet-peeve of mine for an anime to constantly use still-frames, so I was happy with the animator’s restraint on using still-frames. Never once in this anime was anything an eyesore, colors blended and fused nicely, characters looked proportionate, and the animation had fluidity to it. However, there was the occasional animation stutter, and in episode 9 I think (?) certain character’s had jarring micro arms, very unsettling. Character designs were also fantastic, props to whoever designed Swagamoto. He is an unbelievable caricature of every anime Gary Stu ever conceived. From his physicality to his demeanor, Swagamoto is an amalgam of every awful anime protagonist. Amplified by 10,000,000, then allowed to simmer in his swag. For art, I award Sakamoto an 8/10, deducting two points for those disturbing micro arms, and stutters. 4.) Sound. Probably the most underwhelming aspect of Sakamoto is its music, specifically its reliance on Sakamoto’s theme, and a (funny) melancholic theme. Both are rather good pieces, setting the tone for scenes, but were used with such frequency that I grew tired of hearing the same notes. Couldn’t they have, I don’t know, at least altered segments of the music for the sake of variety? With that being said, I award Sakamoto a 7/10 for music, deducting three points for the repetition of these themes. You’ll find yourself laughing at these themes for the first four episodes, but soon after you will be annoyed. 5.) Enjoyment. Personally, this is the funniest anime I’ve ever seen. This isn’t hyperbole, I’m not fanboying. This is the comedy to watch for the summer season. As someone who has watched loads of disappointing comedic anime that began promising but sizzled into nothing, Sakamoto is refreshing in its consistency of comedy. I, subjectively, award Sakamoto a 9/10. Deducting only 1 point for the intermittent episode’s being slower than their predecessors and successors. 6.) Overall. Watch this anime if you enjoy comedy, specifically surreal comedy that works in the realm of nonsense. If you respect comedy as an art form I suggest watching Sakamoto.

It is a slow start anime. The first episodes are cringy and a little bit unsatisfying to watch with the notion that it is a gag anime; but latter episodes recovered the anime from the brink of despair with better pacing, story, and new characters. Thus, if you haven't enjoyed this anime's earlier episodes, give the next episodes a chance, I guarantee that you'll have at least a few laughs. Story 8 There is very little over arching story in this anime, instead it maybe seen a compilation of the best of Sakamoto's nichijou/ everyday life. Characters 9 Characters are simple, yet compelling to watch, especially as the series went on. Sound 5 Personally, I think the OP and ED songs don't suit the anime. Although, the instrumental background music for punchlines salvage the quality of sound choice. Overall 8 If not for the slow start, this would have been at least 9.

I thought it will be just an easy anime, comedy but after I saw all episodes I found this anime really amazing, everyone can watch this anime just for fun and many times. I just fall inlove with Sakamoto because of the cosmos and this why I rated this anime on 10, and this why its outstanig masterpiece for me. This anime has also moral for everyone, the moral says that you can find friends everywhere and not to fight everytime with all the people on the earth. This anime is too good for us humans to understand how life can be interesting not with fighting, this anime shows us how life can be really good. Thank you for this anime and hope for "to be continue" ^_^ :)

This anime is fun to watch and is very amusing. All the episodes have their own kind of feel, and the jokes never run out. The main character, Sakamoto, is “overpowered” in a different sense. I would recommend this to you if you want to find something absurdly hilarious. If it turns out that you love this anime, you should also try watching Danshi Koukousei no Nichijou. A word of notice, the ending of this series brings up a lot of questions and speculations. Being overly keen and observant will not give you any clear answers. Reading the manga does not help either. Be ready for a shocker when you watch the season finale.

(If you're looking for a different sense of ridiculous comedy, and some outrageous scenarios then this is for you!) ♥ Story ♥ : The story is mediocre. The story is of the popular boy Sakamoto whom changes his classmates lives with the way he handles situations in a cool manner. There isn't much to be developed upon that. The characters don't get much development either, it's just: normal classmates + delinquents + Sakamoto. ♥ Art ♥ : The art is fair. The art style is very clean and nice shaded. The art style doesn't really have any "cool" or noticeable characteristics that would make you remember the animation style though. ♥ Sound ♥ : The sound is very good. The normal lounge music is very soothing and relaxing and it fits Sakamoto character. The music is rather memorable and is of good quality. The voice actors are rather diverse and their voice work is sound as well. I just would have expected more lines out of Sakamoto overall. ♥ Enjoyment ♥ : I enjoyed Sakamoto Desu Ga? because of the ridiculous comedy, and the fact that you never know what is going to happen. I am also a comedy + slice of life fan so you can consider me pretty bias. That's all for this review. Have a nice day! :)

"Every move he makes is.... Cool! Cooler! Coolest!" It's no secret that everyone, even those who think they're perfect, has at least one flaw, but to every rule (although it's not really a rule), there's always an exception. Who is that exception? Could it be a certain high school boy with glasses and a mole under his left eye? I've known of the manga that contains such a person for a while now, and when an anime adaptation was announced, I decided to check it out. All I've got to say is, "It was fun while it lasted." Haven't you heard, ladies and gentlement, of Sakamoto? Good, because I'm reviewing "Haven't You Heard? I'm Sakamoto", known in Japanese as "Sakamoto desu ga?" Haven't You Heard? I'm Sakamoto centers around Swagamoto - er, I mean, Sakamoto - a high school student who is basically the "perfect human". There's nothing he can't do, and he's got good looks, too. Needless to say, he instantly wins the hearts of girls and the jealousy of boys. Even in a tight situation, he emerges from said situation with elegance, grace, and, dare I say it, swag. Basically, this anime follows the (mis)adventures of Swagamoto - dang it, WHY CAN'T I SAY SAKAMOTO PROPERLY - and his classmates throughout his first year of high school. The first thing about this anime I'd like to take note of is its animation. I've seen a decent amount of anime from Studio Deen, but this has to be some of the best animation I've seen from them, with some decent character designs to go with it. The voice acting is pretty solid, too, especially Hikaru Midorikawa as Sakamoto; his voice adds to Sakamoto's coolness. The ending theme, "Nakushita Hibi no Sayonara" by Suneohair, is a pretty beautiful song, but I personally loved the opening theme, "COOLEST" by Customi Z, even more. Pardon the incoming pun, but it's a really COOL song! ....Moving on. The story of this anime is pretty episodic, and they always seem to end with Sakamoto staying on top of things. It can get a bit repetitive at times, but luckily, this anime does shake things up a bit and keep it fresh. There are more funny and amusing moments than there are not, and I would either find myself grinning or laughing at times. As for the characters, some are likable, while some are characters I didn't care much for. If there was a character I had to pick as my favorite, it's Acchan; the fact that he's voiced by one of my favorite seiyuus aside, he was given a good amount of development. To tell you the truth, though, a major deciding factor of whether or not you can enjoy this anime is the likability of the main character, Sakamoto. The main point of this anime is that he has no flaws; a character with no flaws is considered a "Gary-Stu". If you can overlook that, Sakamoto actually turns out to be a very interesting character. He always kept others' best interests in mind, and he turned some cliches on its head; those two factors kept me interested in his character. Sakamoto is also quite an enigma; I couldn't help but ask questions about who he actually is, especially toward the end. Haven't you heard? "Haven't You Heard? I'm Sakamoto" is an enjoyable anime that I would recommend to anyone in the mood for a "cool" comedy. Anyone who watches this will know of the antics of Swagamoto!

He's what every women wants and what every man wants to be... This is the very description of Sakamoto: the most swag anime character in all existence. And there's a reason why he's cool, cooler and coolest. Usually, perfect characters don't often get much attention. It's mostly written off as lazy writing. Characters like this are often called Gary Stu. These kind of characters are those who are good at everything without any explanation whatsoever. Usually, it's a bad idea to use these kinds of characters because they lose connection with the audience. But can we say that Sakamoto is a Gary Stu? Heck no! In truth, Sakamoto is completely different from this stereotype. For one, he is not based on lazy writing. Since the series is a comedy, you'd expect a klutzy idiot to be the MC. But Sakamoto changed that idea. This show proved that you don't need a funny character to be a comedy. What's important is the impact it has on the audience. And this is what Sakamoto has shown us. And another thing: what makes him so cool is not his appearance or his style. It's his personality, his compassion and willingness to help his neighbors. This itself shows a strong message to the viewers: you don't need to look cool to be loved, you just need a big heart. And that 's what makes Sakamoto cool, cooler, coolest! I definitely recommend this to casuals and elitists alike. Even if you're not a fan of anime, I swear, you'll love this show. Because once you see it, you'll know who Sakamoto is.

Sakamoto Desu Ga. Sounds weird right? Sounds like someone's full name or something that just doesn't click to us non-Japanese speaking viewers and yet this anime is very slice of life -like. To be honest it looks far too fashionable for what it seems on the google images. Dare I even say, it looks like an anime purely based for individuals who like slim, slender, elegant, glasses-wearing boys and yet this anime is what I dreamt to be when I was in school. Lets get down to the basics oh this anime: The story revolves around the main character (who happens to be presented in the title) Sakamoto. We follow Sakamoto on this story of his daily life in high school and how he "tackles" the typical issues that occurs in said school. Now this is not much of a spoiler but Sakamoto is the coolest guy in the entire school. How do we know this, well in most episodes there is a ten second introduction where a very aged and experienced narrator takes his time to sit you down and just softly mention to you that Sakamoto is not only cool, but also cooler and coolest. This by itself is enough to take an interest in what this narrator has to show and that is only the first ten seconds of the actual anime. So what got me interested in this anime? Am I one of those individuals that I mentioned previously? Nope. What caught my attention was a single .Gif image where we see Sakamoto sitting on the open window sill after seeing his school desk and chair missing. The hooking part was when Sakamoto took his place at the window sill and the wind elegantly brushes his hair to revel the sophistication of this mysterious character who is Sakamoto. And if this is not enough to capture your attention, the stunning awe is reflected back onto the entire classes reaction as you can see the girls fall in love and the boys also falling in love and, or being jealous of the situation. To think this short five-ten second .Gif was enough for me to try out the first episode and I am so glad that I did. From this point, the story tells us about Sakamoto and his interactions with each character to show us how suave, resourceful and gentleman-like Sakamoto really is and how we can either fall in love with him too or aspire to be like him. So would I recommend this anime? Yes, if everything you have read previous to this has appealed to you. Or if you're interested in watching an anime which has comedic value, relatable scenes or able to take an anime which could be possible in the real world but is highly unlikely. At the very least I would recommend that you try at least one episode as the anime is a change of pace from most other animes, including the ones in its own genre. Happy watching.

This was a incredible anime, it's strange, because this is the definition of a gary stu anime, the main character is perfect, never makes mistakes, and nothing bad ever happens to him unless it makes him look better to do so. And oddly thatch why I love it, I mentioned in my Tanaka-kun is always listless that there were two anime that were polar opposite, and this is the other half. Were always told not to make a Gary Stu or Mary Sue and to try to avoid it, but it works here because it's so entertaining, he does everything with this perfect flair and style that you can't help but love it. And that is what makes this anime good to me, it's a series of episodes with two stories in most of them, just enough to give you what you want in each one without over staying their welcome. But what also works with the anime is that every character in the series is entertaining too in their own ways, and they work with Moussaka and grow up with him. Over all this was a good series, I'm hope there will be a second season, but we know how often anime like this don't get it, so while it would be disappointing it's understandable. I give this anime a hearty 10 out of 10, it seems odd and maybe the anime is like a gary stu itself but I never found any real faults with it.

The anime is good, enjoyable and will make you laugh a few times. It has a protagonist who is literally "perfect" in every way. On the other hand, the secondary characters are just as described in the anime description, and thanks to their failures when trying to make the protagonist look ridiculous is where the funny moments of the anime occur. The truth is that I do recommend the anime if you want to watch a comedy that is not complicated and enjoyable to pass the time. BE CAREFUL, do not expect any story from this anime, the chapters will be more or less the same thing with different or some repeated characters and there may be some scenes that are not as funny but nothing that made me stop watching the anime. Personally I give it a 9/10 because there are anime that are even funnier than this one (nothing personal). :)

Sakamoto is perfect. He gets all the girls. He's at the top of all his classes. He is a key example of why Mary Sues and Gary Stus should not be used. I had a lot of hope in this anime. I've heard that it's super funny, from both friends and reviews online. I was very let down. Once you've seen the first few episodes, you've seen them all. Very few jokes hit, most of them missed. It's painfully average. It's OK background noise at the very best. All the characters were forgettable. The last episode was a sorry attempt at a heartfelt moment. So basically, all the characters felt very flat and lots of jokes missed. I was very let down. :(

“Haven’t you heard? I’m Sakamoto.” welll oh well how can i start this review man , and the real question to be asked how i didn't know this anime even existed , okay first and all this anime to worth a watch and funny as fck if you asked me personally , sakamoto is very cleaver main charterer , and every episode is diffrent from the other episodes ,but they are all contented in the main story so its great , you can see the realtionship between these chartcher grow much stroger where they can trust each other t complete diffuclt tasks they will ace i this show witch is entertaining to see and every episodes is funy as hell i laughed sooo hard that i needed to drink water lol lmao hahahaha you get right . right !??/ the art or the animation is not very great but over all not that bad sooooo yeah you can easily watch it without any problems , if you havent watched sakamoto yet and you are a fan on comedian you are missing out my friend , well thats my review sayonara :) unik90 is out

Nobody in this world is perfect. That was what we were learned when we were small children. However, this statement is proved false, with Sakamoto proving otherwise. In the world of Sakamoto desu ga? we explore the life of Sakamoto, showing us the very definition of cool. In my opinion, comedy anime never need an amazing story. They just need to have good reasons to make us laugh. Although the story isn't the most original, it is certainly good. To have the perfect person encounter the different problems people bring onto him was a good story that brought hilarious over-exaggerated events. To keep it simple, the story is good, not amazing, but is enough to make anyone (relatively) laugh hard. On the technical side, the overall quality was good. The sound wasn't amazing, but it definitely wasn't bad. Overall, the sound was good. On the art and animation sides, it was really good. In most cases, it was okay, with the usual animation we see in other anime. However, when it is time to show the coolness of Sakamoto, the animation skyrockets. Everything suddenly becomes more intense, and the animation helps showcase that. Overall, the art and animation is decent for most of the time, but have some "sakuga" moments that help to show how cool Sakamoto is. When talking about characters in Sakamoto desu ga?, the first character we would think of is Sakamoto. However, if you didn't know, there are other characters in this anime (Wow, who would have known! My mind is blown!). Despite having the whole series revolving around Sakamoto, the characters are just as interesting, and do have a bit of development to them. Many side characters are fun to see react to the crazy things Sakamoto pulled off. As for Sakamoto, he does not get any development, as there is nothing to develop. He is just too perfect to be changed. While some may think that is a problem, thinking that he will eventually become a boring character, which is not entirely false, but can be forgiven because of his coolness. Overall, the characters good, with some of the supporting getting a bit of development. Are you familiar with a decrescendo? If not, it is a decrease in loudness, mostly used in music. That is a reflection of my laughter. I started this anime with a laughter at ff, or fortissimo. After a few episodes, the decrescendo was dropped on, reducing my laughter to small giggles. If you didn't understand that, it basically means that the jokes started becoming repetitive, making them somewhat predictable, and not making them have the full effect they would have initially have on me. However, that does not mean that the anime will be boring by the end. There will always be a few surprises awaiting inside an anime. Once those are revealed, be ready to laugh. Overall, I really enjoyed watching this anime, despite it becoming predictable by the end. Overall, I really enjoyed watching this anime. It is a hilarious comedy series that made me laugh every single episode. Although I mentioned that it gradually repetitive, it can easily be forgiven, because this show is just that funny. Overall, I would recommend you giving Sakamoto desu ga? a try, if you like any hilarious over-exaggerated events, and don't mind having the same joke repeated somewhat continuously.

Do you know there is this hotshot junior that does these......stunts, everyday? Apparently he's such a perfect guy that even a ghost confessed to him. No I'm serious! They even showed me the pictures. Who's the perfect guy you say? Haven't you heard? He's Sakamoto. Sakamoto desu ga? Well I bet a huge portion of you know him. A highschool slice of life comedy that tells the daily life of a young, aspiring, passionate student Sakamoto. There is almost no story being told here, well it's about highschool and there's the slice of life genre, of course there isn't much story to be expected, it's actually really simple, it's about Sakamoto, do I have to say more? The art style doesn't really hit me that much, sure it is more unique than the typical anime I've seen, it is just not appealing enough to me, nevertheless it attracted people into watching it for its quirky art and seperates it from the normie looking anime, so I would say it's done its job. The animation budget is way over the top, I can see it now, two drunk coworkers at night deciding what is the best way to make a highschool boy more interesting than he is, the other guy was like, "Bruh, have you even watched Nichijou?" and then the other guy was like, "Say no more fam!" very smooth animation with comic style slides delivered a very strong punchline everytime a joke happened. I frickin love the music and the audio overall, especially the opening. Nothing gets you pumped for a hilarious show than the opening for Sakamoto desu ga? The song, man it is catchy, even a year past and I still can hear the rhythm in my head, it's even more so memorable with the opening scene, I could place it side by side with the ending of Danshi koukousei no nichijou, and that means a lot coming from me. The characters vary from one to the other, and get this, it actually has character development! Can you believe it, a highschool anime with actual character development!? Everyone slowly changes from the influence of Sakamoto, even the bad guys, I would say Sakamoto's best friend changes a LOT throughout the anime, the special episode could really confuse you if you're not familiar with him enough. Overall the anime was lighthearted, cheerful and a fun show to watch to pass the time, or a day.... I doubt there will be a season 2 but we all hope it would happen, however with the ending of the show, it would ruin the punchline, so I'm kind of 50/50 with that thought. You all might think I'm crazy and full of it, but one day, when you call Sakamoto, you will get a call from me instead. SAKAMOTO, LET ME WORK FOR YOU! I HAVE FOLDABLE THUMBS!
