Ahead of its premiere on Jan. 11, Netflix released the final trailer for Sakamoto Days, the upcoming anime adaptation of the hit Weekly Shōnen Jump manga. The series revolves around Taro Sakamoto, a former hitman once notorious throughout the criminal underworld.
But after getting married and settling into retirement, Taro started a new life as a kindly convenience store owner. After Taro’s cover is blown, he’s forced to enlist the aid of Shin Asakura, a former assassin gifted with telepathy, to help him run his shop and protect his family from harm. The trailer does a terrific job of selling the premise and offbeat humor of Sakamoto Days, with Taro being semi-forced out of retirement to fend off the slew of assassins dispatched to collect the bounty on his head.
The real draw of the trailer, however, is the voice talent attached to the series. Matt Mercer of Critical Role fame will voice Taro Sakamoto in the English language dubbed version of the anime, with Dallas Liu (Netflix’s Avatar: The Last Airbender) cast to voice Shin. Other actors attached to the anime include SungWon Cho (Delicious in Dungeon), WWE superstar Alexa “Lexi Cabrera” Bliss, and Xolo Maridueña (Cobra Kai).
Sakamoto Days premieres on Netflix on Saturday, Jan. 11.
