Hololive VTubers Can’t Stop Talking About the Sakamoto Days Anime Premiere

The highly anticipated anime adaptation of “Sakamoto Days” just dropped, and it’s already getting more buzz than a caffeine-powered ninja. Two Hololive VTubers, Airani iofifteen, and Shirogane Noel, sat down with Comic Natalie to spill the tea on why this series hits differently.

Airani iofifteen’s Take: The Indonesian VTuber discovered the series through MANGA Plus (we love a tech-savvy queen) and immediately vibed with the protagonist. Her initial worries about the adaptation melted faster than Sakamoto’s assassin career when she caught the promo video. The highlight? Sakamoto’s jiggly chin physics—yes, really. She even confessed to wanting to “whip Sakamoto’s chin,” a callback to her April 2022 livestream that had fans rolling.

Shirogane Noel’s Perspective: Our Japanese VTuber entered the “Sakamoto Days” fandom through the tried-and-true method of friend recommendation. After binging the first volume, she was hooked faster than you can say “retired assassin.” Her verdict on the anime? The action scenes are chef’s kiss and the comedy-to-serious-moments ratio is perfectly balanced, as all things should be.

For The Newbies: Sakamoto Days Plot

The world’s deadliest assassin, feared by baddies and idolized by fellow hitmen. Then—plot twist—he falls in love, trades his six-pack for a dad bod, and starts running the neighborhood convenience store. That’s Taro Sakamoto’s story in a nutshell. But as anyone who’s ever tried to quit their old job knows, the past has a way of showing up unannounced at the worst possible times.

Sakamoto Days Release Time Catch New Episodes at:

• 6:00 AM PST (West Coast wake-up call)
• 9:00 AM EST (East Coast excellence)
• 2:00 PM GMT (Tea time special)

As the series continues its weekly drops, we’ll be keeping an eye on these VTubers’ reactions—and maybe watching out for more chin-related commentary.
