Japan's most-liked comment about Sakamoto Days

“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

SAKAMOTO DAYS Season 2 Teaser: Japanese Fans React to the Animation Glow-Up — "The quality jumped way too much"
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.

Sakamoto Days Chapter 263 — Gaku Is ALIVE: Japanese Fans React, Crying With Relief — "My all-time favorite is back. I started bawling."
Sakamoto Days Chapter 263 brought back Gaku (楽) — and Japan's reaction was less analysis, more raw relief. The most-liked comments are people openly admitting they'd been quietly grieving a character they were sure was dead, only to be hit with "he's alive" — and many say they straight-up cried. From there the thread splits two ways. One half is pure emotion ("my all-time favorite, I was bawling"), the other dives into the dread hiding inside the good news: Gaku referring to "the geezer who killed me" has fans convinced he's still hovering somewhere near death. Then come the theory threads only manga readers this deep would run — Gaku vs Slur incoming, a Gaku-and-Nagumo tag-team to take Slur down, the possibility that Takamura is alive too ("if arms can be reattached, why not a torso and legs?"), and the question of exactly which old footage of X is playing on that monitor. With the Netflix anime's Season 2 teaser fresh in everyone's feed, it's the perfect window into how Japan actually took the news.
