i think it is a start to a good series. Nothing too out of the many shounen manga we see. But no every single story has to be complicated to be condsiderd good. I think the 1st episode showed us what we can expect from the series. good fights, good animation. Let's see if the series swims or sinks.

Well I am not familiar with the delinquent genre but this seems pretty dumb xD

Still the art and animation look good and I'll give it a try, see where it goes from here.

It was fair. The production overall was mid compared to what its going for.

No really exceptional parts of the fight sequences.

Solid Cloverworks signature background and scenery tho. Especially the animated foreground separation ones.

But... That just made the fights look even worse by consequence. On top of one of the fights skipping all action.

To just transverse into the dialogue. It's mid. Mid overall.

I enjoyed it so much, I ended up picking up the manga.
From what I read so far, I don't expect the plot to be mind blowing (it really isn't nor does it claim to be lol), so long the fighting scenes are animated well - I'd be more than satisfied.
That aside, I really like Sakura as a character, design and personality, can't wait to see more of him in action.



Thank you to Treeky_ for the forum set~

story bland, but i love the fight scene . MC suffers PTSD thought discrimination due to his hair and eye color, became a delinquent, lowest of the low, battle maniac, who seek strong enemy to fight with. He refused help from people, cuz he think all people gonna judge him by his irregular appearance, thats why he choose to be alone. I think this story revolve to his character development, how he gotta conquer his fear towards socialization, and together with his gang, they will conquer the towns slums and become the top1 delinquents

So hyped for next episode. First episode was much better than I expected. I mean I figured with cloverworks handling it the production would be top, but when I heard it wasn't "the" windbreaker (the Manhwa) my expectations went down a bit. Definitely can get behind a good delinquent anime.

Plot-wise pretty decent start, I'd say. The action is looking crisp tho. So, that's good. Sakura is a tsundere. LOL. And, Tachibana is beautiful. Hopefully, we get to see more of her. Furin guys are cool as well. Nice.

The TRUE Bucchigiri!? delinquent "Tokyo Revengers" story has come in the form of mangaka Satoru Nii's Wind Breaker, NOT the Korean manhwa. Heralded by none other than CloverWorks, alongside in-house director Toshifumi Akai of Fate/Grand Order: Babylonia fame.

Natori's OP song debut (especially the visuals) and Young Kee's ED is great.


The panda-haired Haruka Sakura is quite the delinquent of Furin High School, saving Kotoha Tachibana who's a waitress at a cafe, despite him being a foreigner who's out of town, and someone who wants to take the top spot at the infamous delinquent school. But Kotoha knows the outset of the town in general, which faces delinquents from time to time, which Haruka is not prepared to face.

Haruka encountering a group of gangsters, and within his sense of finding himself as a certified fighter, CloverWorks bringing in the sakuga with the fluent rotoscoping fights, it's great to see. But it soon becomes clear that Haruka can't survive on his own, and this where Matsumoto Kajiyanagi comes in as a fellow Furin student, alongside his band of Hiragi friends Matsumoto, Kaji and Yanagida, who protect the town with their school's badge on it: Bofurin - the Wind Breaker, the delinquent gang of guardians helping out the folk for good. This to Haruka is foreign, since he has always been alone, and the town's remodeling of his life will prove vital as he becomes a hero for the good.

The tale of a shunned boy, who's worth lies in violence, he who will become the hero of the town, Haruka will have his life changed from the inside out.

Now THIS is how you do a delinquent story, not the way that Bucchigiri!? does.

This guy is spitting facts
This was one of the better first episodes I’ve ever seen in anime. Kept thinking I knew where the plot was going and proved wrong each of those times.

Nothing but manly fist fights. Young man learning what it means to be a "man" and that's more then enough. helps that the animation is so smooth during the fights without a hint of CGI (from what I can tell, but if its used goes to show they use it well)

Not bad not good. Was hoping for some stone cold assholes in this show. Tokyo revengers had some crybaby bullshit in it. This anime looks like it might go down that same road.

Definitely enjoyed how they set the scene for this series. This one will be a hard one to wait weekly, haha.
I’d say it has better potential than Tokyo Revengers.
Looking forward to watching this series and fingers crossed on some character development with the side characters. That would be awesome.

Ohh, a strong woman, let's go!

He is a tsundere?! Fantastic.

Hmm, I liked it but I don't like the 1 vs whole group and he was doing so good, also the fact that the whole town is kidna reliant on high schoolers seems weird.

Ending song is kinda nice.

Without a doubt my favorite of the season, there was a lot of action in the first episode and Sakura captivated me right away.

I'm digging the shows premise. The safety of this town depending entirely on the protection of the Bofurin youths makes for some great stakes! Those fight scenes were pretty good too!

I checked the newest releases of dubbed anime and I found this. The description seems cool and I was excited to see a series that was purely focused on Haruka Sakura’s path to the top… but things took a change very quickly.

He met Kotoha Tachibana (reminds me of Hinata and Naoto Tachibana from Tokyo Revengers) and through that interaction, we learn that he isn’t just this blood thirsty beast who itches to fight the strong (which in this brief description, that reminds me of Goku). He quickly shows his dominance and beats up on some gang that wants to sexually harass Kotoha, and then this group comes back with an entire army.

Haruka handles them until one of them pulls a knife and slashes his ankle (I’m guessing injuring a tendon, but I’m not an anatomy expert) and that’s when the introduction of Bofurin, the Wind Breakers occurs.

Now Haruka has a bigger purpose in his life since he’s in the town of Furin, to protect the residents.

I’m excited to see how this series evolves and it inspires me to create something just as epic!

Delinquents and their gap moes have always been a guilty pleasure of mine, but recent delinquent animes haven't really been sending their best. The first episode seems promising! A town protected by its highschool delinquents and a tsundere MC shunned by the world for being different. Fight scenes were great too, looking forward to the next episode!

The fight was incredible. I'm impressed that he was able to keep up with so many opponents. The dude who brought all of those guys to help him is the definition of a pathetic coward.

Also, how do hell is he able to jump the damn high lol?

I was initially disappointed cause I thought they'd adapt the Manhwa. This episode alone though, is already way more enjoyable than the WB Manhwa, mostly bcz of CloverWork's production skills. Hope the story stops containing gang rape threats though.
