Netflix has just unveiled the official trailer for Sakamoto Days, one of the most anticipated anime series of 2025. Based on the hit manga by Yuto Suzuki, the series follows the story of Taro Sakamoto, a legendary assassin who retires to live a peaceful life with his family. However, his past catches up with him as a slew of deadly assassins hunt him down for a one billion yen bounty on his head.

The trailer showcases Taro's transformation from a feared hitman to a plus-sized convenience store owner. Despite his new life, Taro's superhuman skills and strength remain intact, and he must find creative ways to protect his family without resorting to killing — with the series promising epic fights, laughs, and a whole lot of heart.

The trailer has already generated significant excitement among fans, who are eager to see how the beloved manga will be brought to life. The animation by Studio TMS Entertainment appears to be stunning, and the story's blend of action and comedy is sure to captivate audiences. The voice cast includes Tomokazu Sugita as Taro Sakamoto, along with Nao Tōyama, Ayane Sakura, Nobunaga Shimazaki, Hina Kino, and Miyari Nemoto. Directed by Masaki Watanabe and produced by TMS Entertainment and Shueisha, the anime is set to hit Netflix on January 11, 2025.
