A great series to watch. It is the type of series that you can leave in the background. It can be slow at times but the slowness has an essence of life to it. It is the type of show you watch and admire its pace and relish it. I would recommend it, however, it is quite difficult to finish it in one sitting as the pacing can be quite slow but if you get through it, it is one of the anime people fondly remember and think of each character and their developments.

The memes and little references in the show are very funny, ... well-timed, and quite prominent. They make the show a lot more enjoyable for those who have watched other anime or shows. For people of cultures, it is an absolute must-watch.

All in all, I would definitely recommend this show to everyone but it requires a specific type of patience and mood to watch it, just watch it when that feeling and mood arrives.

"Joe, Hanamichi, Ippo and Sakamichi. Sango Jugo, Hinata and Yawara. Sena, Goro, Tsubasa, Ryoma. They're all tough but of course they are. They don't want to be shown kindness. I like protagonists, but I also like the people who lead them." - Akane Kashiwazaki AKA Prince

Kaze wa Tsuyoku Fuiteiru is a show about running a prestigious relay cross country college race run in Japan every winter. The main characters are a roughly put together team of college students, many of which have never run in their life. They all have different personalities, different backstories which define them so clearly. Prince, who I mentioned ... earlier is one of my favourite characters among others, he is a character who is the most unfit and gets dragged in as the 10th man. Despite this, he runs for the team.

This show is a masterpiece in every way and each episode being a golden nugget. The show does not have a romantic aspect, but that is what makes it special. It makes the bond between the characters running together extremely strong. From setting delicate undertones, it is clear that this story is written by a woman. Unlike other shounen shows, it touches deep feelings inside characters which cannot be seen. Beware, this show is an emotional rollercoaster, it is quite deep. I love this but others may not.

I would definitely recommend everyone to watch this show, if you love shounen or not it is for everyone and is a story about perseverance and friendship.
