Synopsis

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 support 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.

I tried watching Wind Breaker three times because the first two times I just wasn't in the mood for the vibe, but the third time I was ready for it and I devoured it in only a few days. The characters are interesting and engaging. We've seen similar premises but in the right mood, it's fun. There's a brutality to the story that runs both physical and emotional that really gives it strength, and I think that's what I was having trouble with the first two times I watched it. It wasn't bad, you just have to be in the right frame of mind for ...

Mixed Feelings
Wind Breaker is an anime similar to Tokyo Revengers but with better animation. It follows a boy who enrolls in a school that looks like it's full of delinquents, but in reality, it isn’t—the students actually help their community. The protagonist aims to reach the highest rank in the school.

Impressions:
The anime has good animation quality, a solid soundtrack, and well-drawn visuals. However, in terms of the plot, I feel it needs a lot of improvement. Many characters are clichés and lack development, which makes sense considering the anime still has a low episode count. At times, it becomes repetitive and even boring. I don’t really ...

(Spanish review below).

I didn't like it.

I was prepared to like 'Wind Breaker', but it didn't. I started the anime thinking it was going to be about gangs and honor and fights and all that. But... I discovered an anime about winning fights with the power of friendship and knowing and accepting yourself. There's nothing wrong with that, but in this case it feels childish and incoherent.

I have no problem with stereotypical characters, but in the case of 'Wind Breaker', they offer nothing more than the stereotype. I don't like any of the characters, I don't care about any of them.

As the plot progressed, I started ...
