Wind Breaker

From an early age, Haruka Sakura was made an outcast due to his unconventional appearance and lack of social skills. However, the rough treatment turned him into a proficient fighter, which is now the only thing he prides himself on. Starting at Furin High School, where it is rumored that strength is valued over academics, Sakura has only one goal—taking the top spot.

Involved in a street brawl the day before his enrollment, Sakura happens to meet a group of his future schoolmates. Instead of the usual rejection, they fight alongside him, demonstrating that what the school actually cares about is protecting the town of Makochi from any harm—hence why the students call themselves "Bofurin." Surprised by the and appreciation of the townspeople, Sakura has a hard time accepting their goodwill.

Though unfamiliar with kindness being shown to him, Sakura must learn to push past his discomfort when Bofurin is pitted against formidable enemies. After experiencing the feeling of acceptance, he finds himself fighting for the sake of others for the first time.

this is imo the better version of Tokyo Revengers. great battles are only the cherry on the cake; the best thing about this show is the character writing. i just fell in love with Sakura from ep. 1 because i can relate to his introverted character, the Furin School and its , Umemiya and the captains, and the of Sakura's class. the first season started great with the whole tournament-style battle against the neighbouring team, but season 2 dived deeper into the character development of Sakura and introduced new of Furin and fleshed out their characters. if you only here for fighting and ... delinquents, this is not the anime for you. It's about the characters and emotions, and this is exactly what makes this show so great. fell in love with Sakura and this show and watch s2 every week until this day. completely underated will consider reading the manga.

Mixed Feelings

Felt like they explained the characters inner turmoil too much. It was very much a "tell not show" game when it should be the other way around. Like, Kotoha and especially Umeme basically only made appearances to explicitly explain Sakura's inner feelings to us and to him. Like mansplaining to the audience. Too much explicit magic of friendship talk up in here.

Anyways, I think it was a nice breath of fresh air to see "delinquents" portrayed in this way where no one actually hates them. And the fact that Sakura was liked right from the get-go. I still think he looks like a ... Gacha life character OC but oh well he's a sweetie. Anyways, this anime is lowkey boring and cliche. But it's a good anime to watch while you're working out.

Not Recommended

I’ve been regularly watching anime since 2016 and this is single-handedly the worst industry plant anime I’ve laid my eyes upon. First of all, this show is a disgrace to delinquent genre, there is NOT a single delinquent character in this show and I’m not even joking. Are you kidding me? How come I don’t see anyone mentioning this obvious mistake when criticizing this show? Anime fans really turn their brains off as soon as they see a show with good animation I guess

Story [0/10]: In the first episode we are told that mc, Sakura Haruka (probably the worst mc name I’ve seen in years) ... has been bullied his whole life for having two toned hair and heterochromia. Honestly who gives a fuck if his hair is black and white? What a lame ass context but still I’d try to act like this is a decent way to get us sympathize with edgy lone wolf behavior of the mc if his bullies didn’t look like failed clone experiments. There are some cliche anime tropes I hate and this is definitely one of them. If the author wants us to take “got bullied for their looks” trope seriously then don’t make the character look like a gacha game twink at least! Mc literally looks better than every single individual in this anime but apparently the author is scared to lose fujoshi money so he didn’t even try to make mc’s appearance fit to the description we hear from his bullies in the first episode. Worse thing is almost every guy from his new high school has weirder hair than him. Does that mean he moved to a different town because his hometown didn’t have any pink or blue haired guys in it which caused him to be an outcast? Lol
Mc got bullied for being pretty and you’re telling me to act like this is the best delinquent anime made in the last decade…? Nah
Anyways about the rest of the story-
What story? There’s no story in this anime so I’ll just summarize you what happens for the rest of the season:
They fight in a flashy animation with the dumbest choreography known to mankind then the fight gets cut by corny and horribly written backstory of side characters we’ve only known for 20 minutes then that bad guy starts losing the fight and suddenly turns into a good guy because the beating he took made him his true ambitions… Congratulations they’re all friends now!

Characters [0/10]: I give all of the characters zero point because any random delinquent from a slice of life anime looks more menacing than manlet twinks of wind breaker.
Mc gets zero point from me because of his pathetic background writing alone and his bitchy tsundere behaviors ruin the every scene he’s in. So unless you’re a hardcore tsundere fan I don’t see a point in watching a show with the mc as annoying as mosquitos in summer nights. Even the most unbearable tsunderes tone down after a while but this guy just keeps making the same blushing face like a hentai character every time someone interacts with him throughout the whole season. He’s a painfully one dimensional character, you can tell he was made for fujoshi girls to glaze him on Tiktok edits and man child weebs to self insert themselves into this edgy high schooler as he gets treated like a Y/N by every other individual in the story. Also there is an actual plagiarism problem in this anime, which are the two characters that look 100% identical with Takemichi and Baji from Tokyo revengers. Pathetic
Not to mention the obvious haikyuu rip-off designs of the shishitoren . Basically this show is full of stolen characters.

Consistency [0/10]: In the first episode mc gets jumped by bunch of thugs, one of them scratches his ankle and he gets immobilized because of that small ahh injury.
In episode 7, same character sakura gets his head slammed into the floor several times, bleeds the heck out and walks off the stage as if nothing happened after winning the fight. So— is this show tryna be realistic or not? Idc about logic or realistic stuff normally but this show looked like it was leaning towards realistic route in first 3 episodes then completely became sakuga shitshow without any logic afterwards. There are excessive tone gaps between similar situations in different episodes which are impossible for anyone with a functional brain to ignore.

Soundtracks [5/10]: Opening and ending songs are okay, not worth adding to my playlist though. Crazy part is they made a different insert song for every single fight to distract the viewers from terribly written dialogues during these fights.

Overall score: 0

I wouldn’t recommend this show to anyone above the age of 12
