Netflix's 2026 anime slate moves from gentle supernatural drama to sports romance, JoJo spectacle, and Baki brutality, making the lineup broader than a single franchise bet.

Anime Studio Profile
TMS Entertainment is the anime studio behind SAKAMOTO DAYS, turning Yuto Suzuki's retired-hitman comedy into action built around family life, deadpan timing, and assassin chaos. Its current appeal comes from making domestic peace and sudden violence share the same frame.
Anime Studio Profile
TMS Entertainment matters right now because of SAKAMOTO DAYS, a series with a deceptively tricky balance. The premise is funny on its face: Taro Sakamoto, once a legendary hitman, now wants a peaceful life with his family and a small shop. The problem is that every assassin around him still remembers the old version. That setup needs animation that can switch quickly between domestic quiet and sudden violence. A SAKAMOTO DAYS scene can be a family routine, a visual gag, a tense fight, or all three stacked together. TMS Entertainment's role is not just to make the manga move; it has to preserve the joke that Sakamoto can look ordinary while remaining terrifyingly capable. The studio's official materials frame SAKAMOTO DAYS around that collision between the ordinary and the extraordinary. It gives action fans clean choreography and assassin-world stakes, but the emotional hook stays grounded in a man trying to protect the life he chose after walking away from violence. The animation has to keep that contradiction readable: the comedy cannot flatten the danger, and the danger cannot erase the warmth. SAKAMOTO DAYS is the practical next step for anyone curious about TMS Entertainment's current work: a modern action-comedy where timing, weight, and character expression matter as much as the fights themselves. It also shows why a studio credit can matter to viewers, since the same scene may need to land as a gag, a threat, and a character beat.
