Sakamoto Days anime reportedly facing production issues, leaving fans outraged
Sakamoto Days fans have been anticipating the anime adaptation of the well-known manga series. A recent comment on X by staff member Satoshi Sakai sheds light on the challenges that TMS Entertainment, the animation studio, encounters.
The anime adaptation of Sakamoto Days has been eagerly awaited by fans of the popular manga series. Staff member Satoshi Sakai recently made a comment on X that provides insight into the difficulties that the anime studio, TMS Entertainment, faces behind the scenes, especially with regard to animating the show's dramatic action scenes.
These worries were heightened by the recent Sakamoto Days episode, which disclosed that 23 distinct production studios worked on the show. The sheer volume of contributors raises concerns about the anime's staff availability and timing according to screenrant.
What did the Sakamoto Days staff member say?
Sakai claims that the storyboards and layouts for Sakamoto Days episode four's second half were only "partially" finished. Sakamoto Days' enormous production crew is one of the main causes for concern. The anime seems to be outsourcing production on an unprecedented scale, with 23 separate studios named for a single episode
Reacting to the production, one wrote on X, ¡°It pisses me off how many mid series are getting amazing adaptations then you got OPM S3 And Sakamoto days getting shafted with bad production.¡±
I'm loving Sakamoto Days, but I can't deny the anime adaptation is lacking when it comes to the details of the production Design and even character design. https://t.co/Rm2j5UVcMl

Another added, ¡°If this person is to be believed then crunch is already affecting the production, but I do agree with the sentiment since I think a lot of Sakamoto Days fans are crying over nothing, the anime doesn't look bad at all.¡±

tbh hearing more Yuki Hayashi music is the main reason I'm keeping up with Sakamoto Days (anime).

the production is very underwhelming sadly.
Please read the manga.
