Wind Breaker Season 2

Ever since Haruka Sakura joined Furin High School, where its students call themselves Bofurin and protect the town of Makochi, he has gained new friends despite his initial skepticism. Now starting to learn how to fight alongside his classmates and slowly growing out of his solitary past, Sakura has become the grade captain of the first-years.

Sakura's skills are put to the test when he and his classmates are faced with KEEL—a delinquent group known for its ruthless violence and coercion. While KEEL seems to be another rowdy group at first glance, their sudden appearance and strength in numbers might just be hiding a greater evil behind it. With all the odds against the Bofurin members, Sakura must accept that recognizing his shortcomings and receiving help from his upperclassmen will be necessary to preserve the peace in Makochi.

I was skeptical about WindBreaker at first, but as someone who's current on the manga, I can say, my goodness, this manga and especially the story are good. Haruka as the MC is not only perfect for this story, but fits perfectly into the WindBreakers district. His growth into the leadership role, despite a lot of obstacles and constantly having to confront his past, is simply fantastic. Every moment when he seems happy or even laughs for a moment is a moment of joy for me, especially for someone who has just as much trouble making friends and is often alone. He is supported by ... fantastic characters like Umemiya, Kotoha, Nirei, Suo, Kaji, etc., who always help him back if he suffers a setback, give him help and advice, and stand by him. You can also really see how the world grows after each arc. Satoru Nii's vision for the characters and the world becomes more and more apparent. What I can't praise enough is the first arc after the anime, where everything from seasons 1 and 2 comes together and culminates in a damn strong antagonist in Endo, who embodies the other side of Haruka and thinks like one. The film has good fights, not just physical but also psychological, and characters you can not only empathize with, but identify with.

Mixed Feelings

Wind Breaker season 2 certainly didn’t do itself any favors by starting halfway through a story arc, but once it got over that hump, it was back to business as usual, for better or worse. Sakura learning how to get over his extreme self-reliance and how to let himself be supported by his friends and comrades was genuinely very touching, helped along by some great symbolic imagery and color design, and the overall messaging about unity, community outreach, and acceptance were just as solid as last season, with a huge shoutout to Tsubaki and their depiction of gender nonconformity. Put all that together and, shockingly, ... you have a textbook depiction of a functional anarchist society.
The problem, however, lies in it being so precisely a "textbook" depiction of a functional anarchist society. Very often its messaging is extremely on the nose, even by anime standards, to the point where it comes off less as a compelling story and more as an ethics lecture, which ends up dulling its overall effect. Despite this, the narrative itself was strong enough to carry me through to the end, as were the many fight scenes scattered throughout this season. This is a delinquent anime after all, and while some cuts felt like they lacked the necessary weight, the big impacts were more than enough to have me shouting guttural grunts at my TV. Most of the other visual aspects are just as solid as last season, be it the crisp and distinctive character designs or the deceptively engrossing color palette that makes some of the best use of gray tones I’ve seen as of late. While I’m not quite as hot on it now as I was in season 1, I’m still having a hell of a fun time and hope that there are more seasons yet to come.

Honestly this is one of the worst 2nd seasons to a somewhat decent anime, I've ever seen. This anime literally got nowhere. Tsubaki is one of the worst characters to be introduced. I skipped all of Tsubaki's dialogue because it was just so cringe. I also completely skipped the episode with the old man and Tsubaki. They started with a decent first season and literally ruined it. Over the top emotional junk, dialogue that was probably written by someone in grade school..... I can only hope the next season will be better, but they'll probably screw that up as well.
