Haven't You Heard? I'm Sakamoto Anime Review

Is he cool or is he weird?  Is he attractive or just average?  Is he a human or is he an alien?  This is Haven't You Heard? I'm Sakamoto.


Sakamoto follows a protagonist simply known as Sakamoto.  He's charismatic, good-looking, and honestly...kind of weird.  He's always doing weird stuff, but it always pans out.  Not one to waste time, everything he does has a purpose, even when it's not immediately evident what that purpose is.

Our cool/weird protagonist, Sakamoto.

Naturally, the girls love Sakamoto.  The guys start off resistant to his charms, but eventually he wins them over, too.  Simply put, he's irresistible.

Girls can't get enough of Sakamoto.

The guys start like this, but end up liking him, too.

He has quite a rogue's gallery.  From a high school aged yakuza, the stalker girl, to the school delinquent, to someone who probably graduated from school ten years ago, there are a number of quirky characters for him to interact with.  Most of the time, he kills them with kindness and kills the audience with humor.

Some of the classmates are...disturbing.

One question you may have is whether or not Sakamoto is a human being or an alien.  All throughout the anime and especially in the second half, he exhibits a lot of qualities to make it hard to tell.  These qualities feel stronger in the manga, but they still show in the anime.  It's been a while since I've read the manga, so I don't know where the deviations are if there are any, but it hits all the big spots.  One of those big spots kinda looked like trash (you'll know it when you see it), but at least it's there.

On a side note, that intro goes hard.  J-rock at its finest with zoom-ins on Sakamoto doing various things.  It gets you ready to watch anime, like any good intro should do.

Sakamoto is an alright anime.  Two parts comedy, one part drama, and a sprinkle of mystery make for quite an edible show.  Check It Out.
