SAKAMOTO DAYS drums up excitement for its January 11 premiere with an interactive booth.
Blue Box unveils additional Japanese voice cast members, a second trailer, and opening and ending theme song artists.
Additional highlights feature popular titles like DAN DA DAN, Dragon Ball DAIMA, and more.
Netflix showcased its exciting lineup of recent and upcoming anime titles at Jump Festa 2025, the largest annual manga and anime fan convention. Held on December 21-22 at the Makuhari Messe convention center near Tokyo, the event was hosted by five Shueisha magazines - Weekly Shonen Jump, Shonen Jump+, V Jump, Jump Square, and Saikyo Jump.
SAKAMOTO DAYS Booth Brings Series to Life
Ordinary meets extraordinary in the new action series SAKAMOTO DAYS. Once the greatest hitman feared by villains and revered by peers, Taro Sakamoto fell in love and retired from his notorious past. Now a plus-sized family man running a mom-and-pop store, he faces relentless assassin attacks to protect his peaceful life.
The Netflix booth at Jump Festa transformed into Sakamoto's world, complete with interactive games and displays that allowed fans to experience the beloved character's everyday life.
Japanese voice actors Tomokazu Sugita (Taro Sakamoto), Nobunaga Shimazaki (Shin Asakura), and Ayane Sakura (Lu Shaotang) took the stage and interacted with the many fans eager for the January 11 premiere, announcing the additional Japanese cast Hiroki Yasumoto (Hyo), Hochu Otsuka (Takamura), and Daisuke Namikawa (X/Slur). The main trailer, which debuted earlier this month, has been generating excitement with its fun blend of the ordinary and the extraordinary. Experience this unique series, only on Netflix.
Blue Box: Uplifting Coming-of-Age Anime Series of Romance, Sports and Youth
Now streaming its first part on Netflix, Blue Box delicately portrays relatable characters who are deeply committed to their sports club activities, capturing the subtle emotions that arise when they fall for someone.
Japanese voice actors Shoya Chiba (Taiki Inomata), Reina Ueda (Chinatsu Kano), Akari Kito (Hina Chono), and Kensho Ono (Shuji Yusa) appeared during the panel, and the series announced that Kana Ichinose will join as Ayame Moriya for the second part. A new key visual was also unveiled, hinting at developments in the second school year. Ayame Moriya, a classmate of Daiki, enters the series as a new character. In the second season, the story will take a major turn, with significant changes in the characters hearts and minds.
The second main trailer also dropped, revealing the artists for the second parts opening and closing songs: Saraba by Macaroni Empitsu and Contrast by TOMOO, respectively. Blue Box quickly captured the hearts of many viewers after its initial release, reaching the Daily TV Series Top 10 in Japan. This uplifting coming-of-age anime series is set to warm everyone's hearts once again.
Anime titles are incredibly popular on Netflix, with over 1 billion views in 2023. Among them is DAN DA DAN, based on the manga by Yukinobu Tatsu. It tells the story of occult battles and youthful escapades involving Momo, a girl who believes in ghosts but not aliens, and Okarun, a boy who believes in aliens but not ghosts. The series has achieved the impressive feat of remaining in Netflixs Global Top 10 (Non-English series) for ten consecutive weeks and counting. Season 2 is set to premiere in July 2025.
Following closely is Dragon Ball DAIMA, with concept, story, and character designs by Akira Toriyama. This series has firmly established itself within the Dragon Ball franchise, remaining in the Global Top 10 (Non-English series) for three straight weeks since its release. Plus, following its theatrical release in 2023, the movie SPY x FAMILY CODE: White based on the manga by Tetsuya Endo started streaming on December 22 in select regions.
Looking ahead, Netflix's upcoming anime lineup promises to thrill audiences worldwide. The first part of Dr.STONE SCIENCE FUTURE, the final season of the Dr.STONE series, streams on January 9 across Asia, including Japan. THE ONE PIECE, a new anime adaptation of ONE PIECE by WIT Studio starting from the East Blue Saga, is coming soon.
