Kaze ga tsuyoku fuiteiru is an anime that talks about passionate 4th year college student kiyose haiji who's dream is to run in the Japanese marathon ' hakone ekiden ' and the now- homeless 1st year college student kurahara kakeru who lost everything in a mahjong game, which led him to steal from convenience story, the worker noticed him shoplifting and ran after him, but that pointless kakeru was too fast, meanwhile haiji who was leaving the public bath encountered a fleeing kakeru and was fascinated by his running and recruited him to live with him and the other eight
...
guys in the dorms. later on they all realised they were tricked my the mischievous haiji, " when you moved in, you automatically were signed as a member of Kansei U's track and field club and we're going to run in hakone ekiden's marathon!"
I realized by the time that I grew fond of sports anime. I started Kazetsuyo in Fall 2018 but unfortunately had it on hold for a while. It took me two years to watch it. The guilt of delaying this masterpiece crept to my soul the entire time.
When I finally started it. I felt like the wind hitting my face strongly! I had the urge to start running too. I found it astonishing to get a sports anime that talks about running, it motivated me to run again, to achieve my goals, and to work harder. You aren't alone on this road. You can do it! The story was mostly new, never seen an anime with this topic, so it doubled the enjoyment.
The art style attracted my attention. It seemed so beautiful to the eyes. The colors were warm. The was so relaxing and aesthetically pleasing.
The background sounds and OSTs are something else. The intros and outros made it even better. The OSTs made me so goddamn emotional; ugly crying. Hayashi Yuki makes the best osts, he's incredibly talented with the notes and melodies he chooses
The characters were extraordinary, each one of them had their own unique personalities and style. Each character proved itself strongly. Character development for each one of them was remarkable. Characters had their own struggles but they overcame it and made it to their goal. They were surprisingly realistic and human for an anime, each one had a realistic troublesome struggles, yet they still made it through it without relying on others or showing any marks of it.
Overall, this anime was such an enjoyment to me, I had fun watching each episode of it. I got emotionally wrecked there, but it never failed to entertain me or to teach me morals. Although I wanted to know more about it, but it's just me selfishly speaking due the amount of love i own for this anime, but the ending was pretty wholesome and fulfilling.
and now " hey do you like running? "
