Synopsis

Former ace runner of Sendai Josei High School, Kakeru Kurahara is chased away from a convenience store for shoplifting. Shaking off his pursuer, he runs into Haiji Kiyose, another student from his university. Haiji is impressed by Kakeru's agility and persuades him to live in Chikusei-sou, the run-down apartment where Haiji resides along with eight other students. Having lost his entire apartment deposit at a mahjong parlor, Kakeru accepts the offer reluctantly.

However, Haiji reveals a secret during Kakeru's welcoming party: the apartment is actually the dormitory of the Kansei University Track Club. He unveils his ultimate goal of participating in the Hakone Ekiden—one of the most prominent university marathon relay races in Japan. Unfortunately, all the residents apart from Haiji and Kakeru are complete running novices. Worse still, none of the inhabitants are even remotely interested in being involved with Haiji's ridiculous plan! With only months before the deadline, will the fourth-year student be able to convince them otherwise and realize his elusive dream of running in the Hakone Ekiden?

Well, first of all I'm not going to talk about plot of the anime cuz you can just read other reviews and figure it out by yourself, and I don't see a good reason for why I need to thoroughly describe you the plot of this anime because the main point of my review is to tell you WHY I consider this anime as a good one.
As you can see that the main genre of this anime is SPORT, so technically it's a Sport Anime, and from that point of view I can say that this is one of the best sport anime. But ...

Mixed Feelings
While I feel certain respect for the anime, I thought it meaningful to express why I was not satisfied with it.

What I really like here is the idea to build the plot around older, more experienced and laid-back characters. The dynamic created by that really allowed the creators to produce a more contemplative and intelligent ambient. Also, most of the characters are actually interesting, different from one another and likable. What's more, the story itself manages to convey the ideas without too much further explanation.

Consequently, it is extremely disappointig to see how much unnecessary explanation, annoying immaturity and emotional turmoil is "artificially" added to the ...

Anyone who has ever run knows that it sucks. Why waterboarding is a thing when treadmills exist is a complete mystery to me. I guess even the KGB had its limit on how fucked up their torture methods were. Anyhoo, Kaze ga Tsuyoku Fuiteiru -- Run with the Wind -- is a story about people who are literally the epitome of masochism and, as weird as it may sound, actually enjoy running. I was expecting a psychological series going in depth with this pain = pleasure thing, but turns out our series relies on fujobaiting instead.

It should be warned already on the title page ...
