I don't normally watch gag anime, but this one sells well on the charts and the bookstore employees recommended it in their annual top-10 list. This website too has given a review of the first novel so I decided to give it a go.

This is comedy, first and foremost. The premise isn't going to appeal to everyone either, but there's a hint of satire in some of the mini-skits so it's sitting through it.

To put it bluntly, most people know or have heard about someone like Sakamoto, a Mr. Perfect who is impossible to catch off guard. This show takes this theme and consistently runs with it as various classmates with differing personalities try to put Sakamoto in an embarrassing bind and fail miserably at it.

I don't know if the rest of the season is a series of gag skits as Sakamoto fends off every attack on him and showing off at the same time, but it would be interesting if it turns out he was never like this before and somehow gained the powers of perfect foreknowledge and insanely good fortune all at once.

This currently stands as the only show of the present season that I wish to sample. Whilst the ever-capricious streaming gods do not favour me on this occasion, I have yet to lose hope.

Wow this Sakamoto guy....

No flaws. No weakness. The perfect human being who make no mistakes. What a boss. He even has his own theme song whenever he does something cool. The OP song is cool, cooler, and coolest!

Yeah, this show is going to be quite entertaining.

Yo, Aachan, you didn't have to take off the underwear too bro...

Episode was fairly entertaining. I'm not really a fan of this type of stuff, so I might not keep up.

After one episode I'm not too sure about this but there are some good points to it. I thought that volleyball routine was pretty good but they are already on the verge of overusing it. I'm sure it is easy on the budget.

Man, that Sera guy sure is overweight. Out of his clothes he looks like an American high-schooler. I suspect that was the intent. Then there was that other fat kid that was part of the first delinquent trio and then the one they used for a messenger. Is being overweight now becoming a noticeable trend in Japanese teens? I hope not.
