I'll be honest.
I thought this anime would be like Tokyo Revengers, with its delinquent theme. But where Tokyo Revengers lost me on the first episode, Wind Breaker had me reading the manga up to the latest chapters. So when I finally watched it, I was not disappointed.
This was a very faithful adaptation to the source material.
The voice castings for the characters are truly amazing, as most of them happened to be some of my all-time favourite voice actors.
The opening is spectacular! I have it on my playlist as Natori did not disappoint with his music.
The visuals are what you would expect from CloverWorks. The backgrounds are pretty neat, the character close-ups look amazing and the fight scenes look nice.
However, this does have some issues with characters and dialogue here and there, I've grown fond of the show.
While heavily flawed, Sakura is a great character as he learns more about something with every experience and fight.
In my opinion, this anime is about the power of friendship done right. You cannot rely on your strength alone in a brawl, or life in general.
