Sakamoto desu ga?

In a school in Japan there was a student who tops everyone in the world for being the coolest person because anything he does is perceived as "cool". Women want him, men envy him, and children look up to him. Who is he? "Haven't you heard? I'm Sakamato." Perfect Sakamoto does everything right that he has absolutely no flaws. The only flaw of the anime is the fact that it doesn't have a plot, mainly revolves around Sakamoto the Greatest as he does things to overcome anything despite it might be occasionally funny and seemingly idiotic - but Sakamoto doesn't allow you to see those parts, because he's a bishounen! Anything a bishounen does is neither funny or idiotic. Sakamoto is also a perfect character to the point he does not undergo any changes as well - surprise, you might think he would receive a power-up for being overpowered as a perfect character to further upgrade his OP status, but his only power-up is to be a massive chick magnet (and some males as well) that seems to level from normal, high school girls to aunts. All other characters are nothing compared to him as they revolve around Great Sakamoto for being the greatest. Sakamoto makes the art of Sakamoto great, though I have nothing much to contribute when he has already contributed to it. The overuse of one of the soundtrack for everything Sakamoto does will be attached to you in one way or another as they will use it every time Sakamoto does something great - pretty much all the time because Sakamoto is the greatest person every alive. Overall "Haven't you heard? I'm Sakamoto" or known more as "Sakamoto desu ga?" is a decent comedic anime revolving Sakamoto the Greatest being overpowered and cool as well as great in capturing the hearts of older women for being too perfect of everything he does. The ending was applause-worthy for it features his departure, both his school and the anime world being the Sakamoto the Greatest and will remain in our minds for perhaps a new religion of Sakamoto. It was rated slightly above average as I seem to lost my ability to laugh after 4 episodes in, and I have no idea why. The comedy probably is overused around Sakamoto the Greatest that it has lost its charming point of comedy, or perhaps the turning point of the story circling through the shady society of school turns Sakamoto the Greatest slightly grim yet he does not portray any of those in his perfect bishounen face. On the last episode, we finally know that Sakamoto the Greatest is in fact not some pan-face, heartless, emotionless bishounen who knows nothing but to portray his bishounen-ness and is capable of changing emotions makes Sakamoto the Greatest slightly relative to human and not some alien in human skin.

First and foremost I`m going to be biased here because I`m a fan of this show Sakamoto desu ga? is a show that uses ridiculous scenarios as a form o comedy more specifically the main character (Sakamoto) he is the epitome of perfection in whatever he does To not spoil any kind of those scenarios in this review I will tell you that the first half of the anime can be really entertaining and funny while the second half can be more tone down with the exception of the ending (Knowing this I hope you can end up watching all the show) The Story 6 No really a lot of background story about the main character but there is development when it comes to the relationship of Sakamoto and his classmates Art 7 Is not your moe-shit so that is a plus Sound 8 I did enjoy the op and ending of this anime and I found the background music of this show fitting Character 9 This is the forte of the show the different personalities of the characters is what makes this show great Enjoyment 7 You may be wondering why I gave it a 7 but you have to remember they are episodes that can feel like a drag to watch Overall 8 This show is not perfect despise having a perfect character but I can wholeheartedly recommend it PS. Don`t worry about the people who gives this anime a low rating The guy who gave this show a 4 is a Naruto fan so don`t expect much from him

Sophisticated, suave, sublime; all words which describe the exceedingly handsome and patently perfect Sakamoto. Cool, Cooler , Coolest, all superlatives that describe this character, But: Storywise, for starters, it was quite unique, there is no plot just the character itself, in fact everything was made to revolve around this seemingly perfect character. so it was really good for it's uniqueness, but not that good in it's story telling scenario, then again it's a 7 over for this category. Artwise, it was decent, 4 over 10 to be exact, enough to say the least, cu's you won't find anything naughty in here, except of course for Yūya Sera in a black and white boxer......I can never understand as to why character designer Atsuko Nakajima have to illustrate him as this fat slob in his boxers. Sound.......a 3 over 10 , since all the characters sounded like adults than teens. Plus the fact that I hate both opening and closing themes. Character, I gave it a 3 over 10, not because there is something wrong with the main character.....actually, that's just it, their is really nothing wrong with the main character Sakamoto that his character can be rendered as BORING, due to that fact that he can get away with anything and I do mean ANYTHING, so that's why life ain't perfect, cu'z it'll loose any reason to live. Basically the main character Sakamoto is actually an embodiment of Japan's pursue of perfection, no wonder they're lives boring in reality. Enjoyment, well for the the 1st 7 episodes it was enjoyable, but since the anime was all about main character all momentum of interest over this anime has gone, that I've started to just skim the remaining episodes, also, since when did the concept of throwing pie at a top student who is leaving became a tradition, I mean where did writer Nami Sano and director Shinji Takamatsu got such idea, does such thing really happens in real life in Japan's school? Or was it another misinterpreted western thing that the duo git when they saw some scene in Saturday Night Live? Anyways, overall I gave it a 3, for too much on the character and such pie misinterpretation that wasn't even funny. Sakamoto OUT!

Spoiler-less, TL;DR, faster, simpler, and easy-to-digest review: (New format!) Cool, Cooler, Coolest 6/10 (Decent) Animation and Artstyle: + Motion (Ok): Mostly Static; Decent enough animation for SoL, great animation for comedy category. ++ Environment (Good): Good backdrops, good setting design. + Style (Ok): Some comedic scenes does not work well with "exquisite" theming. Characters: + Design (Ok): Generic student designs, not much distinct compared to other SoL animes; MC is just handsome, nothing else. - Characteristic (Meh): Generic student tropes and quirks; MC is cringey but interesting. + Voice Acting (Ok): MC has soothing voice (Kinda wish to be like him). - Memorability (Meh): Female characters are so forgettable, so does the MC's "friends"; MC is a bit ok might remember him as the guy who does not give a flying f. Story: + Premise (Ok): Cool vs bullies; Chad vs betas; Bow down before the king. + Plot (Ok): No high stakes, just your weekly chad winning everytime. Jokes are either hit or miss. + Pacing (Ok): Mixed; Sometimes fast and many things happened. - Theme (Meh): Nothing deep; shallow comedy; Sometimes exquisite theming does not bode well to comedy.

Nah... +++ In-Anime (Excellent): IT'S THE MR INCREDIBL MEME MUSIC!!! - ED (Meh): Eh... didn't cared much Quality of Life + Enjoyability (Ok): Kinda enjoy some moments; some scenes that I cringed. -- Replayability (Bad): Sorry but jokes got old fast. Cannot replay this without being surprised or laugh again.

A really fun and unique comedy, with a protagonist who's just the coolest. Story 6/10. There isn't much of a story to the series apart from the comedic situations. Enjoyment 8.5/10 Sakamoto's actions are just absurd most of the time, there's no chance to predict what he'll do next, so even if the comedy isn't always the best, it's still really fun to watch. Absurdity also makes for great comedy and brings about genuine laughs. Art 7/10 Average art with slightly lacking animation, but comedy series don't always need the best animation to work, just look at Gokushufudou. Characters 7/10 The Characters just work, but Sakamoto is the only memorable one. Sound 7/10 Good Sound. Sakamoto's theme is good and the opening is excellent, otherwise average sound. Overall 8/10 Just a fun series. Though comedy is always subjective.

Sakamoto desu ga is a comedy of mostly 10 minute sketches where the main character, Sakamoto, is shown existing as the perfect being to ever grace the planet. He's cool, cooler, the coolest, as the intro suggests. There's nothing he can't do and no situation he can't get out of. His perfection is the running gimmick but there's more going on here than meets the eye. At certain point, one of students wants to know if it's true that Fukase, one of the bad guys in the show, have lived a thousand human lives before. I believe they should be asking this about Sakamoto as well. It's like he lived every single one of those situations and knows exactly what to do every single time. Sometimes all it takes is bringing an umbrella to the bathroom, but if the situation requires more, like say, riding a typhoon to save a little bird, no problem, he has powers that goes far beyond that of an ordinary human. I'm convinced Sakamoto is a bodhisattva that have lived a million highschool students' lives before. That's why he can do everything perfectly. That's why he shows perfect compassion and understanding of the human soul. His solutions are not always obvious but it always lead to the best conclusion. For example, at one point, he witness one of his schoolmates, Kubota, having money stolen by a group of hooligans. Later Kubota asks for Sakamoto's help because he's getting mugged so often he's running out of money. Sakamoto doesn't confront the hooligans. Instead, he and Kubota start working at Wcdonald's. He figured if the problem is Kubota is running out of money... This turns out to be the right move for everyone involved. His perfect loving-kindness means that he actually doesn't have any enemies, just people that doesn't know yet that they want to be friends with him. This is also a running theme on the show. It's interesting to see how Sakamoto manages to get on everybody's good side acting in inventive, sometimes even tangential ways that ends up making absolutely everything right. It's a feel good type of show. It's about friendship, unexpected situations and lots gags. It's about the greatest student who've ever lived, Sakamoto.

Character/Story: The characters of a show like Sakamoto Desu Ga? are the most important part of the show. Right off the bat, the show does everything it can to really hone in on these characters and how their unique traits bounce off each other. The main character Sakamoto is quite of a blank slate, but that allows for the viewer to really get to know the rest of the cast and see them evolve in the show. The main "antagonists" (if you can really call them that in a show like this) go through a self discovery character arc, which is really nice to see, and become better people at the end. The puppet master style villain who controls them is a bit weak, but that doesn't really matter, as the show only focuses on him for the last couple of episodes, in which he also serves more as a catalyst to put the regular cast in an interesting spot. The supporting cast is incredibly diverse and all have their own unique quirks that make them fun to watch. I already mentioned the antagonist gang, but the friend to Sakamoto is also very well made. He learns the value of his work and learns to stand up for himself. This is a very heartwarming arc and it is very heavily built up, despite the show looking more like a gag slice of life romp. Regardless, the characters in this show are amazing and you should really watch this show if you enjoy just watching people in interesting situations. Sound: The sound is actually quite interesting. In shows such as this, you typically get some really cliched styles of music, and maybe a couple emotional tracks here and there, which are usually gags. This show, however, does a pretty good job when it comes to music. Obviously there is the main theme for Sakamoto, but this theme is well done and does a great job in characterizing the protagonist as a flamboyant guy always at the right place at the right time. The emotional themes for the rest of the cast are also very well done, and even though sometimes they are played for laughs, towards the end of the show, they really hold a lot of weight. The other incidental music is also handled very well and helps to exemplify the show's feelings. The opening theme is extremely punchy and is a good juxtaposition to the show, while still showing off the characters and how odd Sakamoto is. The jazz style is awesome and is a great way to musically represent the show. The ending is pretty standard of a show this type, and is emotional and slow. Art: The art style of this show is pretty good. It's not amazing by any means, but the art serves its purpose and is good for what it is. The designs for the characters are well done, and each design tells a story of the character. The gangster characters are very well designed, and showcase their main battles and little idiosyncrasies like one of their members' infatuation with his hair, and the scar on another one telling the story of his humility. Sakamoto's friend is also well made, originally being a scared boy, his design reflects that. However, as he grows, the design becomes less Caricature-esque (meaning less hyperbolic) and more in line with a person. This helps to drive home the idea that the character is growing as a person and becoming a better individual. Overall: This show's closest comparison is Saiki K. If you are a big fan of that show, then you will probably get even more out of this show. The action and laughs aren't as punchy, but that holds its own charm. This show knows when to pull back the laughs to get development from the characters and the development done is amazing for a show of this type. I would definitely recommend this show to anyone who enjoys a good comedy show, but one with a good plot and a well put message at the end.

It's interesting Sakamoto, why? That break of the rules: Sakamoto is not only making fun of his teammates but the strategies seen a thousand times in the manga, that bad gandul that results in rancid and unoriginal scenes and that give rise to comics always built from the Same schemes: the cool poses, the moral hero or the exaggerated and absurd polarities. The work of Nami Sano rejects that boring creation accustomed to cliché and does it based on that parodic humor but purely absurd and exaggerated so typical Japanese. A fun and interesting work that works as a parody of the most viewed and used cliches in Japanese comics

The main issue I have with this series is that it doesn't make you care about the characters. Sakamoto is, of course, already perfect in everything he does and gets no character development. However, very few of the side characters develop in any meaningful way even though they have room to grow. The only character I really cared about ended up being Hayabusa. Although many of Sakamoto's antics can be entertaining to watch, the gags tend to drag on a little too long and suck the life out of the jokes. That being said, there a few jokes that land solidly and don't overstay their welcome, as well as a couple of genuinely heartfelt moments and incredibly gif-able moments for your meme needs.

The best way that I can describe Sakamoto Desu ga? (Haven't you heard I'm Sakamoto) is that, it feels a bunch of youtube videos that someone saw and, thought that a show could be made out of it. That is how I got introduced to the show through youtube surfing and, they clips of the show were pretty hilarious. The show itself was very entertaining and, had elements of comedic brilliance with its fair share of laugh out loud moments. Some of the situations the show presented was very unique and, something that we haven't really seen in a school setting. Adding on to that the high-school environment was used brilliantly such as sports, science and, especially dealing with bullies. The characters of the show were memorable in their own right and, each given a moment to shine. However, because the show was only twelve episodes not all of them received massive development. The biggest victim of development was Sakamoto, he is an awesome character and, defiantly commands your attention when he is on screen. Even though he is totally awesome we know little to nothing about him. We don't know his motivation, backstory or even how he is able to be perfect. Many people compare Sakamoto to Saitama from One Punch Man, they are similar in many ways, but the difference between the two is that we know Saitama's motivation and, we feel a connection towards him in the end. I feel that Skamoto would be a great side character instead of a main character but, I enjoyed watching him on screen. The side characters were, quite entertaining and, some of their stories were great to witness with the standouts being Hayabusa, Maeda Atsushi and,Yoshinobu Kubota. Each of these guys went through a change throughout the show because of Sakamoto. The students of Sakamoto's classroom were all really fun. The biggest downfall of the show is its flow. Each episode feels like two or three clips put together to form an episode. There isn't even a real storyline till the eighth episode, thats two thirds of just filler. I understand that a show like this does not really need a great story as its more character driven but, it certainly needed more time as the execution was rushed and, weak. The animation was well done, Studio Deen (who I've never even heard of) did a really good job on the character and, location designs. The animation of the opening sequence was brilliant and the song coolest perfectly matched the show and, its tone. The OST was overall decent but, aside from the opening none of them are quite memorable. Also, the show has great rain animation, the way the rain was animated in the show was better than a few of the underwater scenes in the Aquaman movie. Overall, Sakamoto Desu ga? was a very entertaining anime I did enjoy but, there was no real substance to the show. It had its moments and, a few clips are definitely with rewatching such as the episode where Skamoto becomes a personal assistant or gets for karaoke but as an overall show its good but, not great.

Cooler, coolest! Some girls and some boys are too cool, but Sakamoto is coolest! And most handsome. Every girl love him, but you know Sakamoto's classmates jealouse to him. Because he is impeccable! Short, wisely and sooo funny... These words are summary of the 'Sakamoto desu ga?' Serious things happen and "boom!" Sakamoto - kun cool movement are very silly and really flashy. For this reason I'll always mocking with cool people... So I can suggest you, dear animes fans... By the way Sakamoto similar to Gintama or Danshi Koukousei no Nichijou... If you like these, I'm sure you'll like this series. PS: I start laughing even when I hear this animes soundtrack...

First things first. My "reviews" system is explained on a blog entry. Which can be found through my profile. ------ ✦Story There really isn't much of a story in Sakamoto. it's the usual high school life up to a graduation, but this Anime main goal is of course comedy. And I gotta say, it has a very unique and odd comedy, which is simply priceless. So as far the plot goes, it's simply presentation of a ultra elegant and gentleman of a man called Sakamoto. The elegance is taken up to a whole new level and in a comedic manner. For the most part it's very enjoyable episodic comedy show with a really odd style to it that ain't supposed to taken seriously at all. But, here is as well a issue. A lot of jokes end up end up being very stale, overextended and repetitive, in not a good way. As far as "random comedy" Anime go, this one felt a bit weak. It did have quite few moments that gave me a good chuckle but at the same time there were a lot of moments where it felt simply "tedious" and eventually even started fast-forwarding. Which is simply a not good mark. But in the end, it was good enough and had plenty of funny "elegance" moments. ✦Art&Sound Well, animation and art was good. Nothing too impressive, but fairly enjoyable and pleasing as needed. On the other hand, music had some gold tracks. Main theme was simply catchy and joyful and some of the songs were as well actually quite good. Plus the utter classic moment was probably one of my favorite moments of this Anime. ✦Enjoyment&Overall Unique, odd, elegant. The dream of every girl on every planet and target of jealousy of every male. Jokes aside, it was simply fun Anime, but as mentioned, it was at the same time quite often stale, repetitive and tedious. The good part is, it got my praise from it. And I feel like praising it by giving final score of 7 rather than 6. My stamp of "Approval". You can imagine it.

Dear readers, This anime does only have great comedy and nice characters. It doens't really have a story, because it is kinda a slice of life story about Sakomoto. Every time he does something great, the well known and good music is playing and that makes the series fun too. The series is a great comedy. All things that happen in the series is original. Sakomoto solves problems with a twist, which seem to be really funny. Some people might say they have stolen bits of the black butler series. That Sakamoto looks a bit like Sebastian qua acting, but this time it is not a butler but a student. I must say it looks like they have stolen bits of the Black Butler series, but it is okay, since the series is a big comedy and the side characters are part of making this anime a great comedy. I hope you think this is useful. Tell me if you want know a bit more about the series and I will gladly answer your question. Bye Bye Cool-Cooler-Coolest! Kouka

Story 7/10 So, the stories are like mini-episodes, pretty much like Spongebob Squarepants where you have two episodes in one. They're all good, but there's really nothing spectacular about them. It's about Sakamoto, a high school boy, doing cool stuff. Each mini-episode is really funny in their own way. But, the stories in themselves aren't spectacular. Art 10/10 The art is really good. Really don't have much to say here. Sound 10/10 The soundtrack is very nice and mellow. I don't have much to say here as well. Character 7/10 So depending on the mini-episode you're watching, you get different characters. And the characters are good. I just wished for the characters in the mini-episodes, you get a bit more development from them. Enjoyment 9/10 I really enjoyed the anime for the great laughs it gave me. Sakamoto desu ga is probably one of the best comedies I have ever seen. Overall 9/10 This show is awesome! And you can watch it with anyone (even non-anime people). A classmate of mine in senior year of High School asked if we wanted to watch this series with him. And some of us did (including me and my close friends) and boy, we were glad we watched it! We had sooo many great laughs together! I definitely recommend this anime to the whole family or if you have friends over and you just want to watch something great, 'cause Sakamoto is cool, cooler, coolest! Thanks for reading. Let me know your thoughts on this review and any feedback you may have for me. Until next time!

I'll be honest. I'm not sure if I'm laughing because it's genuinely funny or if I'm nervous that this is the sort of anime my otaku life has led me to. The story is basically non-existent minus a single character trying to get sakamoto kicked out of school? Maybe? I think? Art is fine with e few points here and there that make you go eh or wow Music is the same Story basically revolves are sakamoto (obviously) and each episode is sakamoto doing something with a different character so there are roughly 15 or so characters with not much depth behind them. As mentioned before I'm not sure if I'm enjoying this because it's actually funny or I'm just nervously laughing to myself

"Haven't you heard? I'm Sakamoto." These Five Words. Words have oft held great, sometimes even sacred, import for mankind over the years; whether it be the Ten Commandments or the Five Pillars or the Eightfold Path or what have you, words framed in a holy light last and endure through the musty years, never to be forgotten by their followers. Am I implying that these Five Words, or Three Words in Japanese -- Sakamoto desu ga? -- indicate a sort of divine status for the primary and eponymous character of this anime masterpiece? Why, yes, I am. For after seeing these Twelve Episodes of Absolute Magnificence, you can't help but see Sakamoto in a superhuman light. In our communal journeys through shared education, from elementary to middle to high school to college and beyond, most of us yearn to look good in front of others to some degree. We desire our own coolness. I apologize for disrupting your dreams. For no matter how cool you have become, after watching Sakamoto desu ga? (henceforth abbreviated to SDG, which may or may not also stand for Student Demonstrates Godliness) you will realize how futile your struggles have been. For no matter how hard you try, you can never hope to stand in the shadow of, nay, not even be privileged to stand in the blinding light of, this man named Sakamoto. These Twelve Episodes of Sublime Brilliance tell the common youth and young adult's journey to coolness, and ultimately, its sheer lack of worth. Let me explain. So SDG is about this first-year high school student named Sakamoto who impresses his class from the first day on. Of course, as his every action and word is in itself a self-defining and society-defying emblem of majesty, he can't help but be in the limelight and capture the hearts of all the girls. Not surprisingly, some boys try to step into the light as well by attempting to make Sakamoto look bad in various ways. Not surprisingly, some girls try to reach Sakamoto as well, helplessly smitten as they are. And obviously what happens? Sakamoto not only evades their efforts, but converts them into something better, usually helping them in the process. Every episode of the Twelve Unforgotten has several such attempts, and each is hilarious. For every episode of the Twelve Empyrean I was trying to contain my otherwise uproarious laughter (unfortunately I watched this in my dorm, usually while my roommates were sleeping) to pounding my knee and almost tearing up. Before SDG, comedy in anime was pretty prevalent; from what I had seen so far, Gintama held the top tier, followed by others such as Steins;Gate and the High School DxD series. But after experiencing the Twelve-fold Comedy of SDG, I realized that what I had believed to be comedy was mere rubbish. In short, SDG is the funniest anime I have ever seen so far, and may hold that spot eternally. The mangaka, the genius who created Sakamoto, is brilliant for coming up with so many actions only worthy of Sakamoto. For example (and I'll just give one out of the myriad), when his shoes are tied together during a race, he simply goes on all fours and runs like a cheetah. Everything taken into consideration, Sakamoto is multitudinous talent personified. As you progress through the Twelve Episodes of Wonder, he keeps surprising and awing you with his new feats. So much so that you're left thinking whether he's actually human.

“Happy the writer who, after ignoring characters that are boring, repulsive, astounding in their sad actuality, gravitates towards characters that manifest the high dignity of man, who, out of the great maelstrom of images that whirl about him daily, has chosen only the few exceptions, who not once has altered the elevated pitch of his lyre, has not descended from his height to the level of his poor, insignificant brethren, and, without touching the earth, has given himself, all of him, over to his own images, which are exalted and far removed from it.” – Nikolai Gogol, Dead Souls Happy the writer, perhaps, but less so the audience. Nikolai Gogol’s bitter, sarcastic disparagement of the safe and insipid recipients of universal acclaim, if a tad too accusatory for my exact purposes, serves as an appropriate epigraph for a review of Sakamoto desu ga. As you have no doubt already gathered, Sakamoto himself is the epitome of cool, the apex of aptitude, the Shatner of suave, the sultan of swing, the margrave of magnificence, the Zhong Kui of je ne sais quoi: the Sakamoto of Sakamoto. Everything he does is exceedingly brilliant and everything he touches turns to gold that will also do your taxes and wash your car. Plenty of people know by now that perfect characters aren’t interesting. Anyone who cannot possibly be in any danger cannot be counted on to sustain an engaging plot. All the best characters in any medium are deeply flawed. We know this by now, and we know it so well that Sakamoto desu ga decides to challenge this basic rule by featuring a perfect protagonist and using him creatively to generate unusual storylines. To the credit of the series, it does consist of more than merely Sakamoto showing off his endless talents for the benefit of Class 1-2. Every opportunity for Sakamoto to impress is an opportunity for his classmates and acquaintances to learn how to live in his shadow. All the other characters must learn to appreciate their own strengths or reach difficult conclusions about themselves when faced with a figure so awe-inspiring and effortlessly competent. This is a thought-provoking and refreshing way to handle such a scenario, and the first few episodes in particular explore the idea of Sakamoto as a motivation for others very well. In addition, having a perfect protagonist isn’t a circumstances of Sakamoto; it’s the premise. The whole point of the show is to see what kind of ridiculous solutions Sakamoto can conjure for basic problems and how he can overcome the absurd tests devised by his enemies. This is a comedy, after all, and most of the comedy stems from Sakamoto’s exaggerated prowess at everything. Because perfection is the premise of the show and not the result of a lazy, sloppy, or naïve writer who can’t bear the thought of being cruel to their characters, I don’t believe that perfection is what makes Sakamoto unsatisfactory as a show. I simply find the show boring on a substantial level. After the first few episodes, the show begins to lose whatever deeper layers it had and devolves into a series of skits about how much everyone loves Sakamoto. The conceit of other characters learning from this singular, titular figure was the main factor that kept the series interesting at first, and when left with only the comedic elements, you begin to realize that Sakamoto desu ga really only has one joke. One joke isn’t enough to float a series, unfortunately, no matter how many incarnations it has. I typically find that the series isn’t over-the-top enough, as odd as that might sound in reference to Sakamoto. To sell a premise like this, you need to pull out absolutely all the stops and get as much mileage as possible; restraint doesn’t really work for this setting. Sakamoto desu ga isn’t especially over-the-top; it is level with the top and occasionally sloshes over when jostled. The trio of Acchan and… friends…? …supplies some laughs, but more often than not, the settings build up to “look how cool and handsome Sakamoto is!” My sense of humor doesn’t completely fall in line with that of the show. Unfortunately, in the real world as in the story’s universe itself, everything about the series revolves around Sakamoto. Aside from maybe Sera, Sakamoto is the only one with a particularly striking character design. None of the other characters are all that noteworthy, and the few recurring storylines the show keeps trying to push just don’t feel worth the time. Sakamoto is the only main character, and he is neither what you would call a conventional character nor a relatable lens through which to view his world. Overall the art style is pretty generic and devoid of personality; maybe it is supposed to be that way to underscore how singular the protagonist is, but I don’t especially care for it. The uniforms, setting, dialogue, designs, and most of the soundtrack are all as nondescript as can be. I am a pretty big fan of the OP, the ED, and certain elements of the soundtrack, and the performances are generally good, but none of that is enough to save the show for me. The goal that Sakamoto desu ga has is more interesting than what Sakamoto desu ga is. I appreciate the idea of head-on torpedoing this rule against perfect characters and making something fun out of the fragments, but the results aren’t funny or charming or meaningful enough to keep me engaged. I had high hopes for Sakamoto, but at this point, I have to say I’m ill-inclined to give it another shot or recommend it to others. The length of time I have taken to explain my problems with the show might suggest that they are larger and more intrusive than they really are; watching the show the first time, I liked it enough to continue to the end, even without taking into account that I have so far refused to drop anything at all anyway, so it’s not like I would have abandoned Sakamoto even if I had hated it, but I mean this as a compliment. It’s fine to watch when I need to kill time, but I certainly wouldn’t kill any more time with it than a single viewing’s worth.

"Occasionally hilarious" is the perfect description for this anime. Sakamoto desu ga? is basically a collection of short stories about how people around Sakamoto interact with his perfectness. There's not much of a story, and what's there isn't even close to good, so if that's what you are looking for, go away. It's hard to recommend this anime in general due to how inconsistent it is. However, I don't regret watching it. Sure, quite a bit of it was boring, and most of it wasn't really interesting, but there were some instances of absolute gold spread throughout. Due to that, my memories from watching this anime are not "Episode X was so dull I had to force myself to slug through it", but "the Y scene on Episode Z was awesome!". Maybe you should watch the first episode and see how you like it. The comedic style remains the same throughout the series, so if you take a liking to the first episode, you probably won't have a problem going through the not-so-good parts while you'll enjoy the good ones even more.

So my pick for this season. Comedy, its funny. Just let take it for what it is and enjoy the ride. I thought it pretty hilarious. Story: Follow sakamoto and his perfect self and basically how he shows how perfect he is to the world. Art: Good. Smooth. Best friend is fittingly ugly. Sound: good. Repetitious but fitting. Character: Not much character development, because well.. sakamoto is perfect. But it fits. That's just the kind of anime this is. Its comedy and for your enjoyment. Aunt was one of my favorites haha. Enioyment: Good. Like I said, its comedy, watch and enjoy. Overall: Great comedy to watch and get some laughs.

Hey folks, this will be a review for Sakamoto Desu ga? This show was pretty bland. The comedy was poor, there was no real story, the wackiness and strangeness of the show manages to be somehow unimpressive. Overall I wouldn't recommend. The show is about a boy named Sakamoto and his daily life at school. Sakamoto is super cool, everything he does is stylish and impressive to everyone, including other guys. Simply watch the intro to the anime and it will describe Sakamoto and what the shows antics will look like. He's like a Mary Poppins. Some event will arise that is out of the league of normal high school students and he will remedy the situation without confronting it directly. He can also go with the flow of any situation to make it feel normal. For example one time a mop bucket goes out of control and rolls to him super fast and he simply jumps in it and rides it to the next class. The art and sound both decent, nothing to write home about. The characters were not bad, in fact the supporting cast made the later episodes enjoyable to me. Mostly the show follows Sakamoto and throws in another character or characters for whatever situation that needs remedied. You have the loser best friend, the clever man hunting woman, the bossy class rep, and some delinquents. As we all know from our high school days, this is the typical class line up. The first half of the show was to show off Sakamoto as everyone fell in love with him. The second half of the show was more of exploring other characters a bit, though nothing deep. We never know a lot about anyone. I didn't much enjoy this show. It had a moment or two of interest. I particularly liked the episodes where Sakamoto and Hayabusa, Shou would do something together. I liked Hayabusa's character and before I finished it I thought it would play into a small story arc, which I guess technically it did, though it was rather anti climatic. Other than those few episodes though I found myself bored. Comedy is Sakamoto doing something cool, girls and guys both swooning. Not something bad to pick up if your bored or are between shows. Not something I would recommend though. TLDR: Sakamoto is cool, too cool and it makes the show boring. No story, bland comedy, decent but pointless characters.
