Review of Wind Breaker Season 2

Season 2 of Wind Breaker was even better than season 1. Anyone telling you that Wind Breaker is only fights clearly did not understand the story the author is telling. Wind Breaker is so much more than that. The anime puts the emphasis on communication, which is the purpose of the fights; the characters communicate with their fists. And more importantly, Wind Breaker is a story about tolerance, acceptance, finding confidence in yourself and in others, discovering healthy relationships and being open minded. Those were the main messages of season 2. The people who dropped the show and criticized it for the existence of aspecific character definitely are far from the principles of the author, which is extremely sad and highlights bigger problems.

In this season, we have many emotional moments, with character flashbacks and character development. It was sometimes bittersweet to watch, but always done so beautifully. Sakura is also making efforts, and tries to count on others. He learns, and tries to apply those lessons when adversity shows up.

What I also like about this season is that the main trio - Sakura, Suô and Nirei - doesn't only exist as a trio, but also as duos and individuals. The friendship is not centered on Sakura, the main character, which feels refreshing. We get to experience Suô and Nirei's friendship, too. Not everything revolves on the trio.

All in all, this season was amazing and I found it extremely emotional, with beautiful messages. I found the animation to be really good and the fights were dynamic, which was awesome! I'm really looking forward to what's next, Wind Breaker is a real gem.
