Sakamoto Desu Desu? is an anime adaptation of the comic of the same name written by Sayasumi. This gag anime depicts Sakamoto, a stylish and too-cool-for-anything high school freshman, and the commotion among his classmates and seniors surrounding him.

The story is full of blurbs that the audience can't get to in time, and sometimes there is even a "mildly amusing story"!　You can still catch up with "Sakamoto Desu Desu? You can still catch up with the fun of "Sakamoto Desu?

The best hit work of the season: ......

Sakamoto Desu ka? is interesting. It is a gag anime featuring "Sakamoto," a student in the second year class of Gakubun High School, who leads an overwhelmingly cool and stylish school life.

Sakamoto's every move attracts the public's attention. Once you see it, you will never forget it.

I laughed when I saw the first episode. This is cheating!

To begin with, Sakamoto's character has too much impact: the way he stylishly works the day shift (like a hustler playing billiards!), the way he stylishly eats onigiri at a convenience store (he even flutters the curtains with his whirlwind! ), stylishly eating a rice ball at a convenience store (the curtains flutter in a whirlwind!), and stylishly standing in the hallway. ), standing stylishly in the hallway (are you a model in the middle of a photo shoot? Once you see them, you will never forget them. A single frame of a picture has the presence of a comic strip with an ending without explanation.

Directed by Shinji Takamatsu, director of "Gintama," "Everyday Lives of High School Boys," "Ixion Saga DT," and "Bishio High School Chikyu Boueibu LOVE! LOVE!", he is known for his craftsmanship in taking something silly and making it funny, including the silliness of it.

Character design is by Atsuko Nakajima of "Arrest me, I'll arrest you", "GetBackers", and "Usuzakuraki" fame. She is a master animator when it comes to drawing beautiful men and women with a sparkling luster.

The voice of Sakamoto is played by Hikaru Midorikawa. He has played the roles of Kaede Ryukawa in "SLAM DUNK," Hiiro Yui in "New Mobile Suit Gundam W," and Shiran Yu in "Saiunkoku Monogatari," making him the perfect choice for the cool, handsome role of a second-rate actor.

With all this set up, it would be impossible to say "Stop laughing! It would be impossible to say, "Don't laugh!

In addition, I was surprised when I saw the ending message.

The punk in the red hat who is involved with Sakamoto is Tomokazu Sugita. Akira Ishida plays the timid, timid, and weak-looking boy. The female students are played by Yui Horie and Yukari Tamura. Each of the classmates, whom it is hard to tell who they are, are played by the same voice actors who play the main roles in other productions.

What is this ......?

When I finished watching the first episode, I thought to myself, "That was a great outing. I'm already full of it just for today". But, on the contrary, the funny thing about "Sakamoto desu desu ka? was still a bit more than that.

Sakamoto's actions and words, which are undeniably ridiculous, are eventually accepted and praised by everyone. In a surreal world where there are no tsukkomi, the taste of the drama that goes on and on in a blur soon becomes addictive.

Sakamoto's coolness brings down men, not to mention women.

The girls are enamored with Sakamoto, who is gorgeous, stylish, and cool in every way. From the class idol who boldly attacks him, as seen in the second episode, to the shy girl who can only watch from afar, the girls in the class give him their hot glances and yellow cheers.

The boys look at Sakamoto, who attracts attention and is irresistible, with bitterness. To put it bluntly, it's not interesting. So, like "Acchan," the punk with the red hat in the first episode, and "Yuya Sera," who calls himself fashionable but actually has a metabolic syndrome, Sakamoto attracts the attention of many others, who get involved with him. Of course, Sakamoto manages to avoid each and every one of them in a very cool manner.

The strangeness of this story lies in the fact that these rivals are "dropped" by Sakamoto one after another.

Achan is a good example. He and his friends tried to take Sakamoto down, but they ended up sweating it out. On the contrary, Sakamoto has "stolen" her heart!

The same goes for Sera. Yoshinobu Kubota, who had been bullied, was saved by Sakamoto. The two become rather good friends in class. And then there is the second grader, who is one grade above them. ......

You may have been laughing at Sakamoto's outlandish words and actions, but before you know it, you'll be thinking, "Maybe he's a cool ......! I was laughing at Sakamoto's outlandish words and actions, but before I knew it, I felt like, "Maybe he's cool! If you think about it, what he is doing is stupid, but the skill of the animation is also amazing. Sakamoto is a man that men would fall in love with. That is Sakamoto.

The anime version, with its beautiful drawings and handsome voice, has polished Sakamoto's stylishness. The secret to his increased power lies in his music.

Sakamoto's theme song, which is a stylish jazz tune, conveys his coolness and witty silliness well. When that theme song plays, I can't help but giggle.

And the sad piano music in "Love Hide and Seek," reminiscent of a certain Korean TV drama, is just hilarious!　The previews also included the narration by the mysterious actor Chung Chori-soo, and I couldn't help but burst out laughing. The power of music cannot be underestimated.

The opening theme song "COOLEST," which expresses Sakamoto, is hot!

At first glance, Sakamoto is unforgettable, and when you watch him closely, he is even funnier, and as the episodes go by, he becomes more and more appealing. What is it about Sakamoto that makes him so appealing?

Sakamoto is cool and rarely speaks in monologue, so no one knows what he is really thinking.

In fact, Sakamoto may be very gentle.

He may be stoic and demanding, but he can see through everything.

He may be able to see through everything.

On the other hand, he may be a natural, a man who is ignorant of common sense.

Mysteriousness is a sin. It can be taken in many different ways, and if you try to force a satisfactory answer, you may end up with a strange situation. It might be better to be satisfied that he is a reckless person from the very foundation and setting.

However, there is one thing that I was sure of when I saw the original story. Sakamoto accepts everything as it is.

Sakamoto maintains his own style at his own pace, but he does not force it on others. He does not fight back with violence. He accepts both delinquents and bullies, the two-faced idol girl and the shy committee chairperson, and the favors and displeasure they have for him, just as they are. And then, he gives them a proper answer. His methods are stylish, wacky, and often outrageous.

It is this "accepting and returning" that makes Sakamoto so gentle and charming. When a man sees Sakamoto's receptiveness, his large capacity, his discipline, and his frankness, he is defeated by Sakamoto and falls in love with him.

Sakamoto is that special person who brings stimulation, excitement, and healing to an ordinary, uneventful school life. That is Sakamoto.

This charm is especially evident in the opening theme "COOLEST. Please listen to "COOLEST" sung by Castamai Z in full size.

COOLEST" is filled with keywords from the play, and it really brings out the funny, charming, and hot character of Sakamoto.

The song expresses the funny, charming, and passionate nature of the character Sakamoto in a very "typical" rock song. Especially the second verse,

I recommend this song to fans who know the original work. The second verse in particular is recommended for fans who know the original story, and reminds us of the future development of the story.

The song also contains a phrase that reminds us of the future development of the story and makes us feel a little bit warm.

The medium ballad ending theme "Sayonara to Lost Days," sung by Suneohair, is a surrealistic film, but it also reminds us that these days are the "daily life" of Sakamoto and his friends, and that a warm and peaceful day is coming to an end. The film is also colored in the orange of dusk.

Both are quite addictive. The film starts off with a groovy opening, continues with a surreal and funny ending, and ends with a lingering feeling of sadness. It is a pleasant feeling of "I enjoyed the whole film! I enjoyed the whole film!

There are charms of works that are rediscovered after they become animated, but there is another charm of Sakamoto that I noticed after it became animated.

Sakamoto is quite stout. He looks slim and slender, but in fact he is quite muscular. In the ending scene, you can see Sakamoto relaxing in the pool. He is so well muscled that he could easily be in "JoJo's Bizarre Adventure.

And it's no wonder. Sakamoto's physical abilities far surpass those of Olympic gold medalists. He is agile and precise, acrobatic and flamboyant. There is no way that Sakamoto, who can move so well, does not have muscles!

There will be many episodes in the movie where Sakamoto's mysterious actions will appear, so you will be able to see his muscles in action.

Also, Sakamoto's hair is basically parted into 7 thirds, but when he is in action, his bangs sometimes hang down in a messy manner, which is also bad. He also takes off his glasses at certain points, which is tantamount to a special move.

Or do we continue to be annoyed by Sakamoto's stark surrealism? Or do you fall in love with his coulest-like superhumanity and let go of your tsukkomi? Whichever you choose, you will surely enjoy the hospitality of Sakamoto and his staff and cast.
