Sakamoto Days anime adaptation is not something that many fans were expecting it to be. Considering the manga’s creative action panels and quirky humor, the underwhelming animation quality has disappointed them. After facing backlash, Sakamoto Days is now being compared to a Chinese anime with fluid CGI and stunning action choreography.
It looks like China is eyeing an anime takeover with the release of Super Cube, which has really shaken things up with its action-packed storytelling and global appeal. This Chinese anime has also grabbed the attention of a flurry of Sakamoto Days fans, who have drawn parallels between the two anime shows.
Super Cube’s superior animation and visual designs surpass that of Sakamoto Days
There is no denying that Chinese animation studios have made significant improvements in terms of production quality in recent years, and Super Cube is proof of this. The anime tells the story of an ordinary high school student Wang Xiaoxiu, whose life takes a dramatic turn when he receives a strange cube that begins his journey with superpowers.
With its visually striking action and well-executed pacing, Super Cube did something hardly any other anime has ever done. On the other hand, the anime adaptation of Sakamoto Days lacks this kind of visuals and has struggled to capture the same energy. While comparing the two animes, Sakamoto Days fans have been passing their judgments on social media platforms.
Fans’ disappointment is somewhat justified as Sakamoto Days is clearly nowhere close to the newly released Chinese anime in terms of visuals and action choreography. Further, the anime adaptation of Yuto Suzuki’s story has failed to deliver that emotional punch that many fans expected. On the other hand, Super Cube is setting the bar high for what modern anime should look like in terms of both CGI and storytelling.
Fans react to comparisons between Sakamoto Days and Super Cube
Many manga adaptations have turned out to be a huge success, and Dandadan is one such example. The animation quality of the adaptation of Yukinobu Tatsu’s work is top-tier, especially when it comes to storytelling and fantastic world-building. While many fans of Sakamoto Days were expecting the same from its anime adaptation, they were left disappointed with the lackluster visuals.
U imagined Sakamoto Days to move like the top 1% of adaptations😭??

at least close, its one of jumps biggest titles. Look at what dandadan got, they were similarly popular, why couldn’t sakadays get 1/2 what dandadan got

Fans had high expectations after reading Sakamoto Days manga, which is known for its creative action panels and quirky humor. But all that hype ‘faded’ after the release of its anime, which was seen as too static and also lacked impact in fight scenes.
there were good old times when with every Sakamoto Days chapter people kept imagining and being hyped how hard it will go when Bones, Wit etc. animate fights now this feeling is faded away thanks to TMS, Netflix and Shueisha but with upcoming chapter Suzuki really said to them: pic.twitter.com/xiYvmbJQKd

Bruh, there are no powers in SD. Why would they be all doing this? There’s nothing like this in the manga.

Ngl Sakamoto hate is so forced, it’s not even that bad, yh it’s not exceptional but I do think anime elevates the source meterial….

Sakamoto Days anime is further accused of being ‘too forced’ by fans, who are certainly not pleased with the show after watching gripping fight sequences in Super Cube. So, when it comes to animation quality, pacing, and overall viewer experience, the newly released Chinese anime has certainly surpassed the Sakamoto Days adaptation in all quarters.
