Sakamoto Days officially overtakes Baki Hanma, Dandadan, and Dragon Ball Daima to be Netflix's top anime, showing just how big the new series is.

Sakamoto Days, based on the manga of the same name by Yuto Suzuki, is the streamer's latest original anime series. The first episode premiered on January 11, with new episodes releasing weekly at 9 a.

When Netflix announced that it would be housing the story of Taro Sakamoto, anime fans knew that the streaming service was continuing to be serious about its place in the anime streaming wars. Sakamoto Days has long been one of the biggest Shonen Jump manga that fans were hoping to see on the small screen and numbers don’t lie.

Based on the data, Sakamoto Days's anime premiere brought in 8 million viewers, beating the record set by Baki Hanma. The latter's season two peaked at 6 million viewers, and even Dandadan and Dragon Ball: Daiba couldn't break the record. However, it would be remiss not to mention that they weren't exclusive to Netflix.

Sakamoto Days anime has surpassed the streaming figures of many popular anime on Netflix and it's an extraordinary achievement.

Like nearly all anime collaboration events, the Sakamoto Days Cafe American Diner will also sell limited-edition merchandise featuring exclusive illustrations. Items can be purcha
