You probably stumbled upon this anime because you saw those YouTube shorts and thought, "damn, this looks funny af." Apparently, those 1-minute reels are as entertaining as this anime can get. Watching the full 20-minute episode is a different story. This anime is about a guy who does everything effortlessly. Sakamoto from class 1-2 is the most popular kid in school. To the ladies, he's an irresistable hearthrob. To the boys, he's an annoying prick that keeps hogging all the attention. No challenge is too difficult for our MC. He can accomplish any task with style, grace, and oftentimes, with exaggerated Shonen moves. Regardless of all the underhanded tactics used against him, Sakamoto will never be caught off guard, and he will always find a solution to any challenging problem. This show…

If you want to watch a show for kicks and giggles this is DEFINETELY for you. I really liked this show because it was jsut funny. THe main character -Sakamoto- is just some suuuper cool guy who just does everything amazingly.
Every episode is highkey just straight up glaze and its funny because some of his classmates would try to embarrass him and he would end up somehow making them like him and fanboy him.
This show suprisingly never got boring, maybe because it was only 12 episodes, but I really enjoyed the silly-ness of this. There is really no reason to not like it.
I 100% reccomend!!

Ehhh... As much as I like Sakamoto as a concept; an all too perfect dude; we never really get to really learn anything about him. Where is he from??? Does he even have a family?? What the hell even goes on in his head???? Does he have feelings?!? And also, is he even human?! This anime feels so unfinished. I half-expected some sort of reveal about Sakamoto at the end. Blond guy asks him out of no where "You aren't really going to America, are you?" and we don't get a response??? At least let us know why Sakamoto would lie about that if he really did EVENTUALLY. oh my god.
Anyways, I, too, swoon over Sakamoto like the other girlies. I suppose there is that.

This anime is a wild mix of elegance, absurdity, and pure giga chad energy. It’s only 12 episodes long, but man, it leaves a pretty memorable impression.
The premise is as ridiculous as it is brilliant — Sakamoto, the main character, is literally flawless. Like, not “he’s good at stuff” flawless, I mean he walks into chaos and comes out like a Vogue cover model. There’s a fire? He handles it. Bullies? Outsmarts them with style. A bee attacks him in class? My guy literally elegantly evades it without even blinking. Watching him is like watching a human version of a cheat code.
What I really loved was how over-the-top the show was, but never in a cringey way. It leans into its absurdity so confidently that it becomes its biggest strength. Each episode is filled with hilarious moments where…

The anime is good, enjoyable and will make you laugh a few times. It has a protagonist who is literally "perfect" in every way.
On the other hand, the secondary characters are just as described in the anime description, and thanks to their failures when trying to make the protagonist look ridiculous is where the funny moments of the anime occur. The truth is that I do recommend the anime if you want to watch a comedy that is not complicated and enjoyable to pass the time. BE CAREFUL, do not expect any story from this anime, the chapters will be more or less the same thing with different or some repeated characters and there may be some scenes that are not as funny but nothing that made me stop watching the anime.
Personally I give it a 9/10 because there are anime that are even funnier…

Spoiler-less, TL;DR, faster, simpler, and easy-to-digest review:
(New format!)
Cool, Cooler, Coolest
6/10 (Decent)
Animation and Artstyle:
+ Motion (Ok): Mostly Static; Decent enough animation for SoL, great animation for comedy category.
++ Environment (Good): Good backdrops, good setting design. + Style (Ok): Some comedic scenes does not work well with "exquisite" theming.
Characters:
+ Design (Ok): Generic student designs, not much distinct compared to other SoL animes; MC is just handsome, nothing else.
- Characteristic (Meh): Generic student tropes and quirks; MC is cringey but interesting.
+ Voice Acting (Ok): MC has soothing voice (Kinda wish to be like him).
- Memorability (Meh): Female characters are so forgettable, so does the MC's "friends"; MC is a bit ok might remember him…

A really fun and unique comedy, with a protagonist who's just the coolest.
Story 6/10.
There isn't much of a story to the series apart from the comedic situations.
Enjoyment 8.5/10
Sakamoto's actions are just absurd most of the time, there's no chance to predict what he'll do next, so even if the comedy isn't always the best, it's still really fun to watch. Absurdity also makes for great comedy and brings about genuine laughs.
Art 7/10
Average art with slightly lacking animation, but comedy series don't always need the best animation to work, just look at Gokushufudou. Characters 7/10
The Characters just work, but Sakamoto is the only memorable one.
Sound 7/10
Good Sound. Sakamoto's theme is good and the opening is excellent, otherwise average sound.
Overall 8/10
Just a fun series. Th…

I am Sakamoto is a humour-based anime.
This was an interesting one for sure. For one, when I started the show, I was very very intrigued to say the least due to the fact that usually you would get an MC who is not perfect but would have character development.
Here, it is the opposite, you get an MC that is perfect from the get-go and you get almost no character development. This is one of the reasons It led to its downfall but I will get into detail on that later on.
The good:
The Humour. The humour is very subjective, but for the most part I liked it. It had a very natural feeling even though everything about the MC was unnatural at best. But other than him, you would feel like there is that sort of guy in every class and many of us would witness that when went to school. The actual h…

Haven't You Heard? I'm Sakamoto
In remberence of the writer Sano Nami, who passed on August 5th this year at the mere age of 36. She was diagnosed with cancer one month prior to her passing and Sakamoto was her debut series that aired in 2016 by Sentai Filmworks / Studio DEEN.
Series is a mix of gag and swag humor revolving around Sakamoto; an ikemen in HS striving for comprehension of human interaction and social structure in the most stylish way possible. In each story segment, Sakamoto solves some sort of problem, which becomes a lesson his antagonists have to learn. It's very Mundane Made Awesome and a good pallette cleanser if you watch a lot of heavier material and need something to break up the cycle.
"Every man wants to be like him and women named their vibrators after him.."

Absolutely stellar, what can I say? The comedy is perfect, the character are loveable and the music is amazing. Not single episode went by without audible laughs from my part. Furthermore, the story was amazing, the characters developed and despite the protagonist being a perfect human being (whom in most shows would be boring) he managed to warp the people around into better versions of themselves in interesting ways. It was even realistic (aside from the hilarious Sakamoto shenanigans).
A must watch for any self respecting comedy watcher. EVERYONE I KNOW LIKES THIS SHOW
I long to find an anime this good ever again

Sakamoto Desu Ga is a very, very funny, funny and entertaining anime.
I really enjoyed viewing it (despite the fact that it took me longer to finish it than it should). He has very random, comical situations, always leaving Sakamoto as the "perfect" human being, everything he touches, does or says becomes almost automatically perfect, because he is God, he just doesn't know it.
Really, it's only 12 chapters, it's totally worth it.
On top of that, it even teaches you values. This anime is tremendous.

Incredibly funny gag anime.
There are a lot of reviews complaining about a lack of story or how Sakamoto is simply "perfect" with nothing else to add. I don't know what these reviewers were expecting. It's clear from episode 1 that its priority is delivering quick jokes. Complaining about a lack of story or deeper characters for this show makes about as much sense as complaining about the lack of an overarching storyline for Garfield.
Turn off your brain, and laugh as you watch how various characters in the show react to the ridiculousness of the "perfect" Sakamoto. The fact that the art and animation is pretty decent helps deliver the overdramatic nature of the comedy.

If Gintama is too much non stop jokes and your'e too tired to watch something serious, this is the perfect mix, deep at times but still popcorn show. Main inspiration is clearly Gintama (Aina is Otae and same kind of jokes but less crazy), they even used one of the OSTs. Probably also took one from Kaichou wa Maid-sama and changed it, it could very be an inspiration, Sakamoto being similar in attitude to Usui. They actually made an anime where not much happens, but at the end it feels like it was the most epic story ever. Nothing unnecessary like fan service, or serious romance that dosen't go anywhere.
Sakamoto is unsurprisingly always stylish but he still is human as showed as the anime goes on. It is surprisingly deep, but still is like a random popcorn show. As the anime goes on you s…

This is one of the funniest shows I have ever seen, anime or not! I was bursting out laughing during almost every episode. with all the different slice-of-life, high school anime out there, this one really sticks out. This is anything but another generic anime, especial with a protagonist such as Sakamoto. Not only does it entertain, but can be very heartwarming at times. It is such a fresh of breath air to not have some wimpy coward as the protagonist but instead someone people can rely on and helps to boost the people around them. This is certainly one anime I will be going back to every few years. I am happy to say Sakamoto desu ga? is one anime I highly recommend to people wanting a more lighthearted, comedy anime.

Sakamoto Desu ga? has its moments, but not enough to be a truly great comedy
Every episode has at least one or two jokes that are genuinely pretty funny, but the humour the show keeps constantly using gets dried out quickly after the first episode; The absurd situations can get you real good the first couple of times, but it gets boring from episode 2 forward. It lacks variety. Like, REALLY lacks variety.
A better alternative which I feel like has a similar sort of humour and overall style is Saiki Kusuo No Psi-Nan/The Disastruous Life of Saiki K, it's a show with absurd humour too but doesn't rely in one sort of joke through most of it's run like Sakamoto does.
I may sound harsh, but don't think the show is really horrible or anything, just a bit of a drag. My biggest issue really is t…

So imagine if comedy anime was actually funny and clever without relying too heavily on overexaggerated responses. That's Sakamoto Desu Ga. The closest thing I can compare this show to is "One Punch Man", but imagine if instead of being the most powerful person in existence, Sakamoto is the coolest person in existence. He literally cannot mess up. He cannot be embarrassed. No matter what happens to him, he finds the most elegant, graceful, and might I add, comedic, way through the situation.
The reason this show doesn't quite reach that 10 mark is because the gag can start feeling repetitive around the last part of the season. That said, still a wonderful show and something worth checking out even if you aren't into standard comedy anime.

This one is awesome
Sakamoto reached the main target. well done!
Art is simple and the track is good. Together epics scenes are made, and I was able to watch the incredible Sakamoto being resourceful. However, Sakamoto's genius is not appreciated by many people. Jokes can be weird and tiring. So depends on personal tasty. First episodes is possible know what is about, and if you don't like it probably you are not going to like next ones.
NOT A PROBLEM FOR ME, FOR SURE!
Moment I watched was perfect and "Sakamoto Desu Ga" was what I was looking for. This one is a masterpiece!!!
Scenes made me think " WHAT'S HAPPENING HERE??????" and until now I don't know! Probably I was never the same again.

I watched Sakamoto Desu ga. Here are my thoughts:
This is actually really funny. I consistently laughed out loud at every episode.
I'd describe the humour as kind of a combination of absurdist and situational. The gags themselves are really creative too, as opposed to the same recycled humour/jokes that we've seen countless times in anime.
Other characters play off of the main character (Sakamoto) well to create humour.
The jazz-like OST suits the series really well and enhances the humour.
The most common criticism of this anime is that it is repetitive. It's true that the humour tends to follow a similar theme (Sakamoto and his interactions with others), but I found that there was plenty of variety among the gags themselves to entertain me. A lot of the gags were completely unpredict…

If you want to watch a cool character doing his swag moves in a stylish manner with precise technique and add ons like meaning and message then this is the anime you're looking for.
The story is about a high school boy Sakamoto who is the coolest guy ever and is stylish in every way possible. As it should be all the students especially girls are simps for him. Some guys and especially delinquents often stir up to him to see what's so special about him. Sakamoto will always remain stylish despite being in unfavorable situations most of the time. The episodes are in a linear manner with a good ending.
The directing, artwork, opening, and ending music were some of the best and was spot on. It got cool characters but barring Sakamoto, the characters were somewhat cliche. The plot is not of…

Sakamoto desu ga is a comedy of mostly 10 minute sketches where the main character, Sakamoto, is shown existing as the perfect being to ever grace the planet. He's cool, cooler, the coolest, as the intro suggests. There's nothing he can't do and no situation he can't get out of. His perfection is the running gimmick but there's more going on here than meets the eye.
At certain point, one of students wants to know if it's true that Fukase, one of the bad guys in the show, have lived a thousand human lives before. I believe they should be asking this about Sakamoto as well. It's like he lived every single one of those situations and knows exactly what to do every single time. Sometimes all it takes is bringing an umbrella to the bathroom, but if the situation requires more, like say, riding…
