Pretty nice episode. We also got a bunch of new characters. Nirei looks like a fun character as well. Already liking them all. Looks like we also have a fight on our hands next week. Can't wait for more. Sakura is well-received by most in his class, so, that's nice.

I cant say how much I hate Cliffhanger's now I need to wait a week so I can see how it turns out. Anyways this episode kept the humor and vibe of the first episode and introduced a new character, Akihiko is one of the annoying sort, but other than that this episode was pretty good.

The production is solid for it but damn the characters and story have been boring so far, and this episode felt like it took forever as a result of that. I wish the premise and the MC had something more interesting to offer since the start feels too bland and predictable beyond the action bits.
@animejas
me too....

i just don't get it. Why is this supposed to be good? it was mildly hyped but so far 2 episodes in.... it's extremely boring.
MC is so generic i'm already bored with him

what's appealing about Wind Breaker?

i suppose it gets better later but since i'm planning to drop it already i'd like to know with *no spoilers* if possible what's going to happen in the near future

Would’ve liked to get a small fight scene out of that confrontation instead of cutting to everyone on the ground, but still good world building for this episode! Curious to see what happens with the hotheaded guy that charged in.

Ever so slightly better than the first episode.

The comedy was suprisingly decent, especially because the production (inluding some great voice acting!) supported it quite well.

Everything else is still... really bad. I wish they would stop playing it cool and just go all out on the gags. I got a bad feeling they will try to come up with serious plots and I will hate it so much.

And is there some translation issue with Sakura's motto? Because going off of this, Nirei should be his ultimate dummy, trying to stop those thugs in such a pityful manner.

Oh crap, he's in the same class as Zenitsu. But jokes aside, I have two questions. Is their school all-male and why is there a girl in their school uniform in one of the shots? And secondly, if their boys is so cool and GOAT-ed, then why do stupid bandits still appear in the city?
@RobertBobert Video game goon logic. Fearless and dumb. But that's why it's amusing, it's fun to watch mooks get put into the floor.

@RLViola Makes sense, because otherwise we wouldn't have so many reasons for cool fights, lol.

@ZeStark Considering your favorites, it's strange that the prospect of shipping a all-female show interested you more than a fairly high-quality battle shonen.

Good episode. I really like the vibe of the school, reminds me of Beelzebub. But I don't like the Nirei dude, he's annoying, not funny, weak and a crybaby, his sad backstory isn't gonna change a thing.

Bootleg takamichi is even more of a punk with than the real takamichi. I want to see his soul shattered and the light drained from his eyes. Sakura's confliction with his feelings might be interesting to watch. But this show has one more episode to get me invested. Too much baby back cumbaya bullshit in this show already. If your gonna make a show about shit herads fighting then make a show about shit heads fighting.

Very good episode, the old lady took advantage haha
Nirei is the clumsy and weak one but he's funny and knows things so the balance is pretty good.
Welcome to my school guys hahaha all graffiti, full of kids fighting, etc.
They left it quite interesting for the next episode.

PS: I wonder if Sakura is going to lose at some point, it would be interesting to see

I don't know what "prospect of shipping a all female show" is and I don't really understand what you're trying to say either, the show isn't high quality at all in my opinion it's just average street fights

This anime has great style, animation, fights, music. But so far it's also a very basic story with some sense missing out of it. (Like... where the cops at? etc)
Bit of your typical dumbed down Shonen, still enjoyable though. Hopefully there will be more to it.

@ZeStark Well, that's how it was intended, because this is an anime about street fights between delinquents. For a battle shonen like this, it's a pretty well made show. So I was surprised that despite your favorites, you chose Jellyfish over this one.

I don't really like battle shounen the only battle shounen in my favourites is AOT unless you'll count 86 and Freiren as battle shounen but I don't think so and I specifically don't like delinquents shows and also as you can see from my list I haven't watched that many anime I'm more of a TV shows and movies guy, so my tastes aren't set in stone in anime and they vary a lot

@ZeStark Yes, but judging by your favorites, you also clearly prefer action shows. But ok, I'm not going to turn this into a debate about tastes, have a nice day!

@davidyodo24 Takemichi? Lol, good comparison. Although personally, he reminded me more of Zenitsu.

In this episode I felt as if the characters from Tokyo Avengers needed to leave their original anime to be able to participate in Wind Breaker.

the blonde looks a lot like Takemichi, he even started the episode getting beaten up XD

and the last character with black hair reminded me a lot of Baji.

Looks like Mikey and Takemichi switched places in this one and I'm glad they did. Having an MC who's a crybaby was just pure annoyance.

Pretty likeable characters, but not very special. It's still very enjoyable with top tier production.
@SideCharacterKal

Yep all characters seem okay at the moment. I assume blonde guy will be less annoying as the season progresses and he has his own arc.

Suo made me laugh 🤣🤣🤣in episode 2 of Wind Breaker.

Initially, I thought he was going to the mysterious & lone type character, but I love that he is more of a joker and has a wonderful personality.

He is definitely a fan favorite for me. 😁

Ngl, I didn't think it would look this good.

I started reading the manga a while back, but I can't really stick with action packed manga since fights without animation is pretty boring to me, so I haven't really read that far.
I'm also usually not a fan of the shounen genre, because I seldom like the main character, but in Wind Breaker, Sakura is actually likable to me. I love how he starts blushing after getting praised or thanked. He's the embodiment of hard shell soft core with a sprinkle of comedy and the skills to back-up his loud mouth (so far)

I don't expect anything overly deep from it, but for a story that's about smashing each other's faces in while being surrounded by deliquents, it looks entertaining.

Is this even a delinquent anime? I haven't seen a delinquent anime before (unless Akira counts), but these people don't feel like delinquents at all.

All I've seen and heard tells me they're just school kids who are really good at fighting and doles out vigilante justice... If anything, this kind of feels like a superhero story, just without superpowers, like Kick-Ass or something. It's hard to imagine any of them breaking any laws or bullying some weakling from class.

The show does look gorgeous, though. Really like the art style and the quality.

So this is that one annoying weakling encyclopedia guy who won't stop babbling about shit for one second, can I get an option to mute him?

Anyway here we go with the first fight for Sakura in furin and is that Baji? The resemblance is definitely there.

Btw the ed song visual, so the one Kotoha chan knows is a sensei it seems? Please be her brother, please. I need her for Sakura.

Clover works is doing a fantastic job at adapting this show. I really thought the delinquent shows were going down the drain, but this one rose up especially after the nightmare of Bucchigiri last season. I’m really happy we got back to back episodes this week it really felt good. Again keep up the great work!
