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…

This is truly a horrible anime. This thing barely worked in manga format because you could read it quickly(and even THEN you tired after 5 chapters when the novelty wore off because it was just a repeat thing with no jokes or anything every damn chapter, while the latter half was barely worth reading despite only having a few chapters over 20), but when it's endlessly dragged out in anime format and no new parts or innovations which adds to the experience? Yeah, you have a dreadful or even pathetic piece of crap that you just shouldn't waste your time watching.
This anime has pathetic characters, pathetic story and offers ridiculously low amounts of enjoyment. You might even go minus on the enjoyment part and just wish to kill yourself while watching this. It might be slightly better if y…

Sakamoto is the superior being. An evolution of the human being. He is many breeds apart from you. He is a gentleman, he is on god-level.
YOU WANT TO BE LIKE SAKAMOTO!
Someday, you'll meet Sakamoto, asking: "Who are you?"
Then, Sakamoto will calmly say: "Haven't you heard? I'm Sakamoto."
This is an incredibly funny comedy anime! I cried of laughter while watching this masterpiece of an anime.
I will now describe Sakamoto in a few words: Handsome, sublime, god, lord&savior, sublime and perfect.
Though, this anime is mostly fooling around. It's a great anime for everyone, any time. I highly recommend you watch this. It's a must-watch. Sakamoto is calm at all times! ALL TIMES, no matter the situation.

This anime... just wow. My friends seemed to like it, but I honestly struggled to get through the whole series. It starts off well enough, we meet Sakamoto, the impossibly perfect high school boy, able to do any task with efficiency and grace, no matter how outrageous said task is. But then that's it. That's the anime. Here is some cool, infallible guy WHO DOESN'T CHANGE EVER.
If Sakamoto had maybe developed in some way - i.e. become more human, hell had turned out not to be a human - I might have liked this anime. But I can't. I can't sit through so many episodes of effectively the same thing over and over. I watched the Endless Eight, well this is the Endless Twelve. Good luck.

What happens when you take a high school setting and add perfection itself, only second to God? Haven’t you heard? Sakamoto happens.
This short but sweet comedy anime focuses on one gimmick only. Sakamoto being absolutely perfect in every situation, and his interactions with his classmates. It may seem like after some time, the anime loses its charm as the plot keeps on repeating, but fear not. The 12 episode limit keeps the pace steady. The story never gets boring or stale. Good soundtrack which incorporates jazz (obviously) keeps the anime smooth. The comedy is going to have you question “how does Sakamoto get out of this one” in second half of the anime. And it’ll keep surprising you and make you laugh. A lot. My only complaint is that the show for me lacks rewatching value once you’l…

Sakamoto Desu Ga rests on the gimmick of its protagonist being the best male thing to ever grace his planet.
Sakamoto is cool, Sakamoto does every thing like a cool guy, Sakamoto succeeds at everything and everyone is jealous of him or wants to be like him. Every girl wants him, even those that have gone way past their teenage years.
The reason for this quite mediocre 4 is pretty simple: it's because I just described ALL of Sakamoto's storyboard.
There is no plot per se, it's half-episodes shorts where Sakamoto is always fabulous and the others are not.
There is nothing special about any of the characters, they bring out a really boring villain halfway through the season but apart from that, there is nobody even noticeable.
And far worse, not only are the characters unmemorable, but th…

Everything Sakamoto desu ga stands for is beautifully exectuted within the standard amount of 12 episodes. The story is depicting a not-so-average high school student by the name of Sakamoto.
Sakamoto excels at everything he does and his surroundings are either absolutely taken away by it or hating his guts for it - both ways lead to interesting and funny plot twists throughout the story!
Frankly speaking, I have never ever laughed so much watching anime. The story development is all about simple process consisting of just as simple but yet interesting and very humorous events that slowly lead up to the end of the series. Not only did the anime get everything it wanted done perfectly but digging deeper into the background of the ending brings up a whole new light upon the surface of the…

Who exactly is... Sakamoto-kun?
Sakamoto is... Cool
Cooler
COOLEST!
Sakamoto is... Our destined leader
Sakamoto is... The embodiment of perfection
Swag STYLE
Everything Sakamoto does...
Is STYLISH
Story: 10
So, exactly what kind of world does our hero live in? He lives in a world of style, cool, and swag. Every movement he does is bleeding cool. Sakamoto does not live in a world... The world IS Sakamoto. Sakamoto makes our lives have so much more meaning. Sakamoto helps us through tears and sorrow.
Sakamoto-kun does not fear the trials and tribulations ahead.
Rather, they fear him.
Sakamoto inspires in all of us a desire to better a situation, no matter how tough.
Sakamoto-kun is the story.
Sakamoto-kun is the world.
Sakamoto-kun is... Cool.

Sakamoto is a very interesting anime. The premise, him being very cool and flawless can limit the content but reading the manga (where it is more explicitly implied) and in the anime, where it is less explicitly implied, the hidden meaning behind every episode and it explains why he is portrayed as "flawless and cool".
(Anyone interested in knowing the "true meaning" behind the anime can read the last episode discussion forum and find out and the theory is not very far fetched, it's entirely plausible.)
So once you watch the series (and read the manga if you wanted to) and read the theory, the anime you just finished becomes something very beautiful and a heartwarming series. It explores some psychological aspects too especially regarding life in high school and switch to uni/college.

I made a video: you can find it at my YouTube channel "BasementOtaku"
Video Script:
Haven’t You Heard? I’m Sakamoto (9/10): Woh! A 9 out of 10?! If you want to know more about my rating system check the video description. Now it is time to fumble over my words as I begin a potentially spoiler filled review.
Words can very easily describe “Haven’t You Heard? I’m Sakamoto,” but the experience is something else entirely. The show has a fairly basic premise, attractive high schooler acts cool and people are jealous of him, and from watching Handa-kun this season I have learned that, that premise, while funny, can’t lift a show to Sakamoto’s heights. What makes Sakamoto so great is that most everything Sakamoto does is not cool, in fact, it is downright crazy most of the time, but the best p…

Cool -> Cooler -> Coolest -> Swagmoto
Story:
Sakamoto is the coolest and most capable guy in the history of mankind...that's basically it. Every episode gives us a glimpse of how awesome this guy it. If you think this premse will run stale pretty quickly, be reassured, it does not. Not every story is top notch, but this anime has so many ideas that you will be entertained most of the time.
9/10
Art:
Sakamoto is a pretty boy, but everybody else is pretty...pretty (I should have used a thesaurus there) as well. Except for Kubota and his mother, they are just disgusting, but that's the point of their characters. In general, this anime looks very good, but the focus is clearly on the characters.

If I asked you what came to mind when I mentioned the words "cool," or perhaps "suave," what would your answer be? For the students at Gakubun Prefectural High School the answer would most definitely be "Sakamoto."
"Sakamoto desu ga?" is an anime which focuses around our main character Sakamoto. The niche of this anime is that Sakamoto is the coolest guy around; always figuring out the best answer to any given situation. Now, the plot of this show may not seem extraordinary, nor do I proclaim it to be; but the show manages to grasp your attention with it's own unique style. This show couples easy to follow scenes with a nice jazz-styled OST to create a calming vibe. The anime does a perfect job of creating an atmosphere where the viewer has time to sit back and unwind.

Cool, Cooler, COOLEST!!!...and not just for Sakamoto, Studio DEEN as well.
Well, LA will say it already, LA thinks Studio DEEN is two for twofer in terms of comedy anime (previous being KonoSuba).
LA was worried as to Sakamoto's skits of always "winning" and it getting old and by the numbers, however and by in fact really quickly, LA found that the "ways" Sakamoto leads to his victory or him pleasing the masses and sometimes outright crazily amusing ways that the comedy doesn't get stale, it's the entire "it's the journey not the destination" scenario and Sakamoto executed it brilliantly.
Characterization, well if you cannot believe it, not only do wee see Sakamoto's perfect nature, but also from his female and male classmates as well, most notably Yoshinou Kubota voiced by Akira Ishida…

Sakamoto Desu Ga is a gem that shines brilliantly in the Spring 2016 season. Its an amazing comedy that is definetly worth investing your time in. While I wasnt expecting much from this show Its become my favorite series of all time and one I highly reccomend
STORY: Sakamoto is the coolest kid at school who can do everything in the most stylish way possible. While the series follows Sakamoto but its really the story of how he helps everyone grow around him. Sakamoto Desu Ga is episodic and follows the narrative of hilarious short stories of everyone's interactions with Sakamoto. Wether his classmates are trying to foil him or help him Sakamoto solves any problem often with the other chracter in that short story becoming a better person because of meeting Sakamoto. The story is amazingly c…

If there wasn’t enough fabulousness this season, don’t worry, Sakamoto is here. Sakamoto desu ga is exactly how it looks and sounds. An entire series focused on a character that is perfect is a pretty risky job. The series can easily become repetitive and boring if it heavily relies on one joke. Sakamoto manages to consistently entertain with its variety of different jokes, that all use the same backbone. It’s just the sheer amount of creativity and wackiness that can make Sakamoto look not only perfect to the people around him, but also the viewers. But it’s not just the comedy Sakamoto succeeds at, but also its parody on common tropes in anime, which makes the series seem much more intelligent than it out to be.

Well, Sakamoto desu ga is exactly as the premise says it is. The…

“Who.. are you?”
“Haven’t you heard? I’m Sakamoto.”
You’d almost wish it started out like this, there’s that perpetual gnawing going on in the obscured depths of your conscience that bugs you for some normality, some profound simplicity in going about an anime you might never have even heard of. This auxiliary introduction to this mysterious, clean-looking man, unfortunately, doesn’t exist.
Why, of course, would there be such a need?
One does not introduce Sakamoto.
One does not simply require the induction of any mainstream preface to unveil such a magnificent being.
It is without question, almost as splendidly visceral as how the gleam in his eyes decimates the wobbly heart of every female and non-asshole male in his vicinity, for everyone to instantly fathom that this man right here,…

Long before my life on this earth began, my family's lineage has been devoted to studying and teaching the ancient manuscript of Swag: a primordial order committed to deciphering the body's hidden aura, in an attempt to understand what makes some people "Da COOLEST." As per custom, this responsibility is passed on to the next of kin, and in order to uphold this age-old tradition, my long rigorous undertaking of Swag began.
Through the deepest depths of the Amazon rainforest and the scorching heat of the Sahara desert, I traversed the lands in search of answers. Learning the forbidden tapestry of the Maasai tribe, as well as dedicating 5 years of discipleship to the Caribs and Arawaks natives of Trinidad, I've gathered up enough information through extensive research and careful analysis to…

"And on that day, no fucks were given... only swag".
Make room for our new lord and savior... Sakamoto. Despite how much I enjoyed Sakamoto desu ga? I can fully understand this anime is not for everyone. However, I love comedy shows that don't take themselves seriously. Sakamoto took a similar approach to Nichijou in the fact that it didn't give a shit. It wasn't trying to cater towards a specific category of viewer and stuck to its repetitive yet effective style of humor, with its over exaggeration of daily, normal events. In doing so, it became the unsung hero of the season for me, and made me appreciate the whimsical side of normalcy. For now, despite whether or not you agree with me, depress your mute button and let me explain Sakamoto's greatness to you.

Well, this is a different approach of the 3 episodes rule. If you watched the first 3 episodes, whether you liked it or not, you've seen everything the show can offer.
There is no story, no characters, just Sakamoto swagging around, overcomes his opponents effortlessly. It becomes repetitive and boring real quick. There are some minor plot twists in every one or two episodes, when you along the rest of the cast thinks Sakamoto doing something extraordinary, but it turns out, it's just a regular thing, like making noise or hail a taxi. It's creative and funny, at least the first 2 or 3 times, but not enough. The sound and music are decent, fits to the series, but that's all. There is literally nothing to talk about this series because it's completely blank.
At the end the biggest flaw of…

People always said that “Perfection is not always easy to achieve”
Really!!!! Let me tell you about “The Legend of Sakamoto”
A long time ago, in classes 1-2 of Gakubun Prefectural High School. One student had the entire school’s attention from the very first day. Carrying out class duties in STYLE, eating his lunch in STYLE, standing in the hall in STYLE, studying in STYLE, walking in STYLE, talking in STYLE, and even singing in SYLE. Every single move he makes is COOL! COOLER! COOLEST! And the name of the student is Sakamoto. There was nobody PERFECT except Sakamoto. Nobody can defeat him. In fact, all of the girl students love him and certain of the boy student jealous of him. Furthermore, Sakamoto is the only PERFECT person in the world and he’s the CHOSEN ONE.
