About DAYS

If you are hunting for a new comedy series, DAYS deserves a look (2016). The setup goes like this. The setup: The anime centers on two boys who were never meant to meet: Tsukushi Tsukamoto, who has no special skills but secretly hides a passionate heart, and Jin Kazama, an isolated soccer genius. On a stormy night, the two meet, and that meeting creates a whirlwind in the realm of high school soccer.

With comedy at the core, timing, character chemistry and running gags decide whether it lands. Voice work is led by Takuto Yoshinaga as Tsukushi Tsukamoto and Ayane Sakura as Sayuri Tachibana.

If you count yourself among viewers who want something light between heavier series, put it on your list. The run is 24 episodes in total, so you know what you are signing up for.
