SAKAMOTO DAYS Season 2 Teaser: Japanese Fans React to the Animation Glow-Up — "The quality jumped way too much"
サカモトデイズ2期ティザーPVの日本の反応
“The quality jumped way too much, this is peak 😭😭😭”
ほんまクオリティ上がりすぎて最高😭😭😭
On the SAKAMOTO DAYS Season 2 teaser PV, Japanese fans are mostly fixated on one thing: the animation looks like a different show. The top comment notes the "shading and color grading have clearly changed since Season 1," and the thread fills with praise for the studio TMS, the "insane" linework, and the new lighting — though a few pushback replies call it "too glossy." Fans hype the Kyoto arc, the new voice casting for Shin, and one very specific shot of Kanaglo, before someone admits the manga's art is so good the anime might still struggle to keep up.

You can clearly tell the art style — or rather the shading and the color grading — has changed since Season 1. I'm into it.
明らかに1期と絵柄というか影の付き方とか色味が変わってるね。良い感じ
- @タスタス-t1v👍 93
The quality is absolutely cranked up...
クオリティぶち上がってるやん…

The colors are so much sharper now — just from this footage alone you can tell the action scenes are gonna be a massive level-up.
色がめちゃくちゃはっきりしてて、もうこの映像だけでもアクションシーンのクオリティが爆上がりしてるのが分かる

The animation is insane!
作画えぐい！

The animation is genuinely GOAT-tier... and Yotsumura's voice fits way too perfectly!
まじで神すぎる作画、、、 そして四ツ村さんの声ハマりすぎ！
- @Petitbloom👍 10
The color grading looks all shiny though, kinda tiring on the eyes.
テカテカしてて疲れそうな色味だけどね
- @ままままま-c2c3g👍 20
Feels like they're papering over it with the glossy look and thicker lines...
テカテカと太めの線で誤魔化してる感…
- @LarryBird_twitter👍 9
As long as the action scenes move buttery-smooth, that's all I need. I'm satisfied, honestly.
あとはアクションシーンさえヌルヌル動けば。まあ満足。
- @桐生零寅👍 40
The quality jumped so much I'm moved! SAKAMOTO DAYS' biggest strength is the impact of its action, and they nailed recreating it — too good! January can't come soon enough!
クオリティ上がりすぎて感動です！ SAKAMOTO DAYSの最大の魅力であるアクションの迫力がしっかり再現されていて最高過ぎる！1月が待ち遠しいです！

Nothing but hype for a SakaDay that leveled up from Season 1!!

So TMS finally went all-in, huh. Hopes are sky-high now ‼️
トムスがついに本気出してきたか これは期待大‼️
- @ndk8026👍 48
Honestly, TMS really is top-tier as a studio that delivers without needing some absurdly long prep period. Look at the consistency of Dr. Stone, which is about to wrap up too.
やっぱり、トムスって長大な準備期間を設けず作ってくれる制作会社として本当に上澄みだな。 もうすぐ終わってしまうドクターストーンの安定感といい。
- @へのへのもへも👍 2
It's clearly evolved. Great work, production team. I'm rooting for you.
明らかに進化してる。制作陣お疲れ様です。応援してます。

The Kyoto arc is my favorite, so just these few seconds are enough to power me through work.

The Kyoto arc — I'm hyped to a dangerous degree.

That Kanaglo at the very end has me full for a good while. Thank you.
最後の神々廻さんでしばらくお腹いっぱいです ありがとう
- @asakura-666👍 391
0:34 — ending on just Kanaglo's mouth instead of his whole face is way too good.
0:34 最後神々廻さんの顔全体じゃなくて口元なの良すぎる

Nagumo's expression and him in just a shirt — a blessing, thank you.
南雲の表情とシャツ姿助かる

Shin is my fave and I'm so happy he finally has movement and a voice — it fits way too well, thank you.
周推しなんだけどようやく動きと声がついて嬉しい、ピッタリすぎるありがとうございます

So Shin is voiced by Toya-san~!!!!!! It suits him!!
周は戸谷さんか〜!!!!!! 似合う!!

Opening the PV on Slur is way too tasteful.
pvがスラー様から始まるのセンス良過ぎ
- @世代世代👍 4
So cool it deletes my vocabulary, that's how cool it is...! (small-brain take) I love how snappy the pacing is from here, and the new BGM matches the vibe perfectly — the best. There's way too much to look forward to from this point.
カッコ良すぎて語彙力消失する位カッコ良い…！(小並感) ここからの展開のテンポの良さがすごい好きだけど、新しいbgmもめちゃくちゃイメージと合っててほんと最高 ここから見どころありすぎるしマジで楽しみだ〜
- @denethitthi👍 56

This is the turning point where the fight choreography ramps up hard, so it's great the animation and impact ramped up to match it.
戦闘描写も格段に上がっていく節目だから、それに合わせて作画や迫力も格段に上がってていいですね。
- @奏-x8n👍 17
I've truly been waiting, waited till I was worn out. I have nothing but gratitude for everyone who worked on this anime.

This one manga has art so insanely good that no matter how good the anime is, it might still look like less by comparison... please do your best.

📺 AnimeAnimeYouTubeJujutsu Kaisen: Japanese Fans Debate If Sukuna's Slashes Are Actually Fast — "The real cheat is that they're invisible"
On Jujutsu Kaisen, Japanese fans pushed back hard on the claim that Sukuna's Cleave and Dismantle aren't fast. The debate splits three ways: that the real broken part is the slashes being "invisible" with no wind-up, that Mahoraga adapted at the moment the technique activated rather than reacting to blade speed, and that Maki only got clipped while frozen from a Black Flash. Plus a running joke about speed-adjustable slashes that ends on the obvious troll read.

📺 AnimeAnimeYouTubeWhat's the Best Gunpla Kit Ever Made? Japanese Builders Weigh In — "So YOU Claim It's Perfect? Don't Make Me Laugh, You Commoner."
Asked which Gunpla (Gundam plastic model) kit is the single best-engineered one ever made, Japanese builders did what any good hobby community does: they refused to agree, and the thread turned into a gloriously nerdy roundtable instead. The most-liked picks tell you a lot about what Japanese modelers actually prize — and it isn't always the flagship. The runaway crowd-pleaser is "the HG (High Grade) Zeon 'swimming club' kits," the affectionate nickname for Zeon's amphibious mobile suits, praised for low part-counts and budget pricing while punching way above their weight on poseability and proportions. "The HG Gundam Aerial" from The Witch from Mercury gets love on the principle that "the protagonist's mobile suit always gets the most effort," with one builder calling its all-new tech "flat-out brilliant." "The MG (Master Grade) Narrative Gundam Ver.Ka" earns a flat "everything about it is too perfect," "the HGUC Gustav Karl" gets singled out for cleverly balancing proportion and range of motion through smart gimmicks, and the budget kings — "the HG Genoace" and the AGE Federation line — win the "cheap, moves well, great molded-in color separation" vote. There's wholesome shop talk too: a confession about a shield that's a pain to paint inside, a fragile shield-arm joint, and a lot of old-timers marveling at how far the hobby has come. And then someone shows up to put the Narrative fanboy in his place with one perfectly haughty Gundam-villain quote.

📺 AnimeAnimeYouTubeBleach: Japanese Fans Debate Who Should Raise Ichigo's Son — "The Safest Pick Being Grimmjow Is Insane"
On Bleach, Japanese fans got stuck on a hypothetical they couldn't drop: if you HAD to hand Ichigo Kurosaki's son Kazui over to a Soul Society or Hueco Mundo figure to raise, who's the safest choice — and who's the most dangerous? The top-liked answer set the tone: the single safest guardian in the entire roster is somehow Grimmjow, a verdict the whole thread agreed was unhinged. The recurring logic was that the scary geniuses are the problem — Aizen would "grow the kid the fastest" but would gleefully drag him along to conquer the Soul King's palace, and Urahara is just too unfathomable to trust — whereas Grimmjow is a rough-but-good-hearted delinquent big-brother who'd let Kazui cut loose in the Hueco Mundo desert. From there it branched into casting different mentors for each discipline (Kido to Aizen, Hakuda to Yoruichi, Flash Step to Byakuya), Ichigo himself crying "why am I not even a candidate?!" and getting roasted, and Don Kanonji floated as the one pick with actual ethics. The punchline everyone kept circling back to: every adult in this manga would be way too excited to teach this child.

📺 AnimeAnimeYouTubeBleach: Could Ichigo's Son Kazui Become the New Soul King? Japanese Fans React — "He Doesn't Read Like the Next Hero. He Reads Like the Next Villain."
A Bleach: Thousand-Year Blood War advance-screening bonus put Ichigo and Orihime's son, Kazui Kurosaki, in the spotlight — and instead of cooing over the next-gen hero, Japanese fans spun it into one of the densest pieces of Bleach speculation in years: could Kazui become a new Soul King? The single most-liked reaction set the tone with an eerie read English fans rarely hear — unlike Boruto, this kid doesn't carry the aura of a sequel hero, he carries the aura of a sequel villain. From there the thread became a lore deep-dive only Japanese fans could give: Kazui inherits ALL of Ichigo's hybrid factors (Human, Soul Reaper, Quincy, Hollow, Fullbring) layered on top of god-tier-Fullbring Orihime, he erased Yhwach's remnants in the final chapter, and the recurring theme was that a kid built like that is basically Soul-King-grade by default. Fans ran with the isekai-light-novel joke ("On the Soul King Reincarnating With Even Greater Talent Than His Past Life"), the JoJo "it suits me perfectly" meme, and a loud "bring the serialization back — honestly only Bleach can save Jump right now" chorus. Then one sharp-eyed reader landed the detail that reframed everything: Kazui has the Soul King's FOUR eyes, not Ichigo's five.
