If you’re loving the action, comedy, and laid-back heroism of Sakamoto Days, then these ten anime should be right up your alley. They’ve got the same blend of humor, over-the-top action, and lovable characters who are just trying to make it through life (with some epic battles thrown in, of course). Let’s take a look!
10Mr. Villain’s Day Off
Ever wondered what a supervillain does on their day off? Mr. Villain’s Day Off takes this premise and runs with it, turning the life of an evil mastermind into a hilarious comedy. Watch as he tries (and fails) to live like a regular person, and enjoy the absurdity of a villain just trying to chill for once. It’s like Sakamoto Days but with more villainy and less… well, subtlety.
9Hinamatsuri
Imagine you’re a regular yakuza member, and one day a telekinetic girl shows up in your life, ready to wreck your apartment. That’s Hinamatsuri in a nutshell. It’s a quirky mix of heart and humor, with a fast-paced adventure as Nitta, the yakuza guy, gets roped into looking after a supernatural force he’s completely unprepared for.
8Golden Kamuy
Now Golden Kamuy isn’t exactly a comedy, but it’s got that Sakamoto Days feel when it comes to action and having zero chill in the face of danger. It follows Sugimoto, a war-hardened soldier, and Asirpa, a sharp-witted Ainu girl, as they search for hidden gold. It’s hardcore, it’s wild, and there’s humor scattered throughout as they stumble through difficult adventures. If you like action with a side of lightheartedness, this is your go-to.
7Assassination Classroom
A giant alien creature is your teacher, and your class has one job: assassinate him before he destroys the Earth. If that catches your attenstion, you should give Assassination Classroom a try. It’s got a chaotic mix of absurd comedy and serious moments that makes you care about characters you never thought you’d care about—kind of like how you feel for Sakamoto. And yes, it’s weirdly heartwarming and you will cry by the end of it.
6Mob Psycho 100
If you thought Sakamoto’s superhuman abilities were cool, wait until you meet Mob. This eighth-grader has more psychic power than he knows what to do with, and Mob Psycho 100 is a wild ride as he tries to keep it under control. This series balances action, comedy, and a surprising amount of emotional depth, kind of like Sakamoto Days but with more psychic explosions and less convenience store drama.
5Gintama
Gintama is like the king of blending comedy with action. Picture a samurai who’s not only breaking the fourth wall but also fighting aliens in a hilarious, action-packed world where literally anything can happen. It’s chaotic, unpredictable, and surprisingly deep—just like Sakamoto Days, but with a whole lot more weird humor. Gintama’s combination of laughs and heartfelt moments will leave you hooked from start to finish.
4The Fable
What happens when a legendary hitman is told to lay low for a year? That’s the setup for The Fable, where our protagonist is forced to live an ordinary life, but his violent instincts (and a very unpredictable temper) keep things far from “normal.” If you enjoy the idea of a super-skilled character trying to adapt to regular life while being too good for their own good, this is definitely a series to binge.
3One Punch Man
One Punch Man is literally built around an overpowered MC, but with a hilarious twist. Saitama is so strong that he’s bored of defeating his enemies in one punch, which leads to some pretty funny—and pretty epic—situations. It’s the perfect series if you love seeing a hero try to find meaning in his life while juggling endless ridiculous battles.
2Spy x Family
At first, Spy x Family seems like a cute little family comedy. But add in a spy, an assassin, and a telepath under one roof, and things get real interesting. The Forger family’s antics are both heartwarming and hilarious, and just like Sakamoto Days, it’s all about trying to balance extraordinary skills with everyday life. The interactions between this quirky trio will steal your heart.
1The Way of the Househusband
You thought Sakamoto Days was funny? Wait until you see Tatsu in The Way of the Househusband, a former yakuza boss who’s swapped his weapons for a mop and an apron. Watch as he applies the same intense focus he used in gang wars to household chores, and get ready for some seriously hilarious moments. It’s the ultimate comedic gold for anyone who loves legendary characters stepping into a totally new world.
