Review of Wind Breaker Season 2
What can I say? I'm just a sucker for a good shonen. We’re back at it again punching our way through another stellar season! S2 brings us deeper into the world of Bofurin, with new enemies, new teams, and more hilariously flustered moments from Sakura hahaha. We're seeing a lot more interactions between Sakura's team members and it's REALLY funny watching them together. The way they act around each other is like a dysfunctional family, but in a good way. Sure they may try to kill one another sometimes, but at the end of the day, they know they’re one unit and need to stick together. There hasbeen some really important character developments not just in the main cast (e.g. Sakuras and company) but also side characters, that has given the story more depth. For a shonen the story is decent so don't expect "Vinland saga" levels of writing here, but if you are reading this you've most likely watch S1, so you know what's up. Side note: Tsubakino may be a femboy but I really come to like him as a character.
As always CloverWorks has done an amazing job with the animation. The fight sequences were really well done, like whoever thought of the choreography needs a raise ASAP!. If I had to say anything bad and this is just me being a CGI hater unless it’s used for comedic effect, is that in the first major fight of the season, a lot of the background characters were purely CGI. It's not a deal breaker but it kinda bugs me.
Overall compared to Season 1, I feel like the action has dialed down just a bit, but fight sequences more than made up for it. Also the ending had me in my toes! Next season is gonna be dope!!!.
