Anime has been the next big thing in the entertainment industry, and now it’s going mainstream. Netflix’s latest release is showing great promise.
And the stats speak for its success.
We’re talking about Sakamoto Days: Season 1, with three episodes currently available. And the views?
In just 10 days, it has reached 14.3 million views.
Compared to other legendary anime shows, that number may seem lower, but there is no credible source to make direct comparisons.
Netflix is releasing new episodes on Saturdays, giving them the advantage of weekend viewership.
As for the manga itself, it has always been on the popular side, and Netflix’s adaptation has been well-received, currently holding a 7.9 rating on IMDb.
Netflix instead of Crunchyroll? Many fans might be skeptical, as Crunchyroll is the go-to platform for anime lovers. But so far, Netflix has handled it well.
If you haven’t started Sakamoto Days yet, now is a great time. Episode 4 drops tomorrow—anime fans, don’t miss out!
