Why I think Wind Breaker missed the point
This review is only about the anime, I haven't read the manga and don't plan too (I'll still watch season 2 tho).
Light spoilers ahead !
__Animation and visuals

This is a strong point of this anime.
The colors are vibrant but tone down when they need to, facial expressions and interactions are…

Delinquents are a pretty common sight in anime. From classic Shounen like *<a href="https://anilist.co/anime/392/Yu-Yu-Hakusho-Ghostfiles/">Yu Yu Hakusho</a>* to more modern series like *<a href="https://anil…

The best way to look at Wind Breaker is as a sort of postmodern delinquent anime. I know that sounds high minded for an otherwise simple show, but Wind Breaker's main goal is to directly interrogate the genre's relationship between strength, violence and self determination. In a romantic sense, the…

__Preface__
Wind Breaker is a modern delinquent anime that I would describe as a hidden gem. My statement may seem exaggerated because an average weeb must be living under a rock if they aren't, at least, aware of its existence. Many viewers compare the anime with TR and hype up the animation, fig…

Let me start by saying I’m not a seasoned anime reviewer. According to Anilist, I’ve watched around 70 anime, and while that’s not a small number, I know there are many out there who’ve seen hundreds more. This is also my very first time writing a review for anything, so apologies if it feels a bit…

Adolescent gang life is shown as violent and chaotic, especially for adolescents in everyday media. These students fight each other and commit crimes for "fun" and to be at "the top," all in the name of the gang's prestige and prestige. But, another part of gang life rarely displayed is relationship…

__What if we took Naruto and added Kaneki's half-hair style? We get Sakura. __
*Yes, you read it correctly. The protagonist is called Sakura.*
Now, jokes aside, for you who haven't ( or don't plan to) watch Naruto, there's this running joke that when opposing sides fight one another, the MC (Narut…

Uma história de delinquentes limpinha.
Foi esse o sentimento que me pegou quando assisti ao primeiro episódio de Wind Breaker. E falo isso não só pelo fato da equipe da Furin ser quem protege aquele distrito, falo de design mesmo.
Esse subgênero dos mangás e animes de ação era marcado pelos person…

Do you ever encounter a story that feels like it was almost written specifically for you? Dumb high school shounen-type humour, plenty of creative and fluidly animated fight scenes, and enough character depth to provoke emotional investment – Wind Breaker really has everything I’m looking for in a s…

~~~ __El shōnen de hostias que no sabías que necesitabas__~~~
En un panorama donde los animes de batallas adolescentes están cortados con el mismo molde (instituto problemático, chicos violentos con traumas y redención a base de puñetazos) *Wind Breaker* llega con la osadía de no reinventar nada, p…

Hm… Nach Tokyo Revengers wurde mir Wind Breaker empfohlen. Ich hab den Anime in einer Youtube-Zusammenstellung gesehen, ein paar Kämpfe, ein bisschen Pathos – sah okay aus. Also auf die Liste gepackt. Zwei Staffeln später sitz ich hier, leicht frustriert und frage mich: War’s das schon?
