Like… why was this show not given to MAPPA, WIT, Bones, Trigger, or Madhouse? TMS are completely wasting the potential of this show big time.

True, even CloverWorks or A-1 Pictures could've done a way better job. TMS really dropped the ball on this one.

Nah, Cloverworks is mad busy (like 6 shows they have to do for the rest of the year plus if the rumors are true, an additional show & a movie), and while not as busy, A1 most likely are focusing on Solo Leveling (+ Fate/strange fake to release this year & 2 different movies). Even TMS are pretty busy too; Detective Conan, Dr. Stone, Rent A Girlfriend S3 lol.

IMO I think the Production Committee just wanted an anime ASAP cause to the most casual viewers, they really don't care that much about animation quality (see how Sakamoto is pretty popular on Netflix every week), & the Committee wanted to release an anime while the manga is still popular and on-going.

There's no way those studios can fit Sakamoto Days into their schedules.

Especially since its meant to air now so that means they would have been working on it before January. Mappa just did The Rose of Versailles Movie(which apparently was a messy production), Lazarus which supposedly has been finished, some Inazuma Eleven stuff, plus they're working on Dorohedoro S2, more Ranma 1/2, more Boukyaku Battery, and the Zombieland Saga movie. Thats not even mentioning short form content like commercials and music videos.

Madhouse has both Chi. and Trillion Game airing right now, both 2 cours, and they also are doing The Dinner Table Detective. Wit is working on Spy x Family S3(with Cloverworks), The One Piece, a supposed Ranking of Kings movie, Moonrise, and a new Star Wars Visions episode(Trigger too). Bones is still doing Sk8 S2 and OVA.

The "big" studios that people like are all super busy and Sakamoto Days would't fit in their schedule until a few years from now which always means looking at the next best alternative. TMS themselves are busy and prioritizing the Detective Conan movies.

Because they're booked and busy. Hell, TMS is probably prioritizing the Detective Conan movies since they are big money makers in Japan. The issue lies in why this anime didn't get top tier staff and more time.

& Dr Stone season 4 as well lol

u/Diego237 Feb 03 '25

Dr Stone is solid, tho I don't think it's a priority for them either. I'm not up to date with it but S3 had a good amount of outsourcing. The Detective Conan movies are yearly so it seems like their priorities won't change.

DrStone is def a priority lol it’s literally on the final season rn
