Netflix have another anime exclusive coming in 2025 (it's slated for January on TMS in Japan) and is based on the hit manga SAKAMOTO DAYS by Yuto Suzuki which made its debut in 2020. Following the life of a retired hitman facing down enemies from his past, it's a mix of family life and gangster drama. The comedy resides in watching legendary hitman Taro Sakamoto utilise his skills while looking like Perry Mason. Love it!
