'Sakamoto Days' Review: Netflix's New Anime Series Will Fill the 'John Wick' Void

Even for viewers who are familiar with the world of anime, it's still surprising how the genre can bring something new to the table years after it's been established. Just recently, DanDaDan became a surprising hit not only because of its approach to mixing supernatural and extraterrestrial stories, but also its unique animation style. On a similar path, the new Netflix series Sakamoto Days, based on the manga series created by Yuto Suzuki, quickly establishes its own identity, and it might just be one of the year's best shows — depending on how it's handled in the coming weeks.
