Am I the only one who thinks the animation is wasted on such a poor title? I think the animation is fantastic, but the story and characters are so disarmingly banal, so much so that they're annoying and boring. I'm wondering why this title was lucky enough to receive such an anime, while much better titles are left with mediocre anime.

This is the same ragebaiting you pulled a couple of months ago with Solo Leveling. I really hope people don’t fall for your bait again this time.

Istg you are not going to encourage proper discussion in the next 24 hours, so congratulations on getting your first bait x πŸ‘πŸ‘

@gobbyyy Demon Slayer has become a worldwide phenomenon that has broken record after record... I wouldn't say that animation is wasted on Demon Slayer given its success. Wind Breaker, on the other hand? Everyone forgot about it during season 2, lmao.

@dazedcowcow62 Kudos to you for proving me right, since your only point is accusing me of being a decoy because you can't deny that Wind Breaker is mid as Solo leveling, lmao...

@Leon888 "Demon Slayer has become a worldwide phenomenon that has broken record after record... I wouldn't say the animation is wasted on demon slayer given it's success"

So Demon Slayer is an exception because its got high viewership but Solo Leveling is mid. Yet Solo Leveling had a high viewership. Make it, make sense.

You know it, I know it, and everybody knows Demon Slayer's story isn't innovative that gets carried by ufotable's unlimted budget. Hell one of the criticisms from infinity castle was the backstories were dragged out and every villain has to have a somber backstory. Which I personally don't mind since I know exactly what I'm getting with demon slayer's story. But the animation is always top notch.

If you don’t like the story then don’t watch. Windbreaker getting another season is no different from yet another Isekai getting yet another season. If it’s not for you, don’t partake. The only complaints I ever hear about season two is because “everyone” got in their feelings about the character Tsubakino, and honestly great. If that’s the character that ruins the show for you, please do leave the fandom. The whole message to windbreaker is calling out a lot of problem norms in society that just foster division and exclusion. The anime is just the manga brought to life on the screen.

Wind Breaker can't be taken seriously since Furin High has no teachers but banal characters and story? lol, no.

Wind Breaker excels in character development, dynamics, writing, and it has a good story. the story is born from Sakura's journey from who he was in the beginning to who he is currently and as it goes on. dude, the story is emotionally deep and touching. you can't be saying this if you watched s2 especially after seeing Tsubakino's arc. (this is coming from a manga reader since early 2023).

Perhaps a show focused on young delinquents healing from their respective traumas/emotional distress via comraderie simply isn't for you, but nothing is wasted for those of us who love these kinds of stories.

With how popular the series is, I expect a s3, and I'm incredibly excited for it. The next big arc is both really good and a huge one for the growth of many characters.

Your perspective is misguided. Every anime deserves quality animation — that should be the standard across the industry. Instead of criticizing Windbreaker for receiving good animation, direct that energy toward the shows that didn’t. Constructive criticism like that actually drives improvement.

Yeah. Whatever potential they had in season 1 went down the drain in season 2. Aside from them trying to help rescue that guy from that one gang, it just feels like everything else is forced. Especially them giving the backstory to that one guy who crossdresses. Literally felt forced as heck and not natural at all, partially because he was never much of a relevant character before this and all of a sudden, boom. Meanwhile we don't really have many back stories on the characters that have had most of the screentime from the beginning.

@Liental This proves that they are right to produce Demon Slayer with that quality. Wind Breaker, on the other hand, is a failure that only a few people watch, it didn't deserve such good animation at all, lmao

@ivydaemons I have every right to complain if I see a shoddy product with such undeserved attention to detail in the technical department...
Besides, are we really highlighting social issues when you can find the same thing in a thousand other anime that are far better? People don't know what to do anymore to defend their favorite Mid anime.

Also, what kind of character writing? They're all extremely flat characters, which are good because, yes, there's no psychological depth, no real growth, and no moral conflict. The only thing they have is the fact that in the end, the good guys either defeat the bad guys or become friends, Fairy Tail-style...

@amentet If the writing is terrible, can you blame us? I'd write you a story like that, and you'd still think it was good because anyone could write it, even a 10-year-old... Do you really want to see a show where the characters try to improve and heal from their traumas? Check out Vinland Saga.

That's the point: YOU don't see any reason. That's your opinion, and that's all. It doesn't matter and will not change anything 🀷‍♀️
I do also think that Sword of a demon hunter deserves a better animation and a second season (or some other shows desreve a continuation instead of others...) - no one cares. It's only my opinion.

@Leon888 I saw you reply before you changed it. It doesn't prove your point, it just means you have double standards. You let demon slayer pass but solo leveling is mid. You're not consistent in your logic, your just cherry picking an anime you didn't like that you would've rather seen the animation in the animes you watched.

It doesn't matter at the end of the day you don't get to decide how animation studios choose what manga series their going to work on. Sounding very entitled.

But hey if you would like it, you can open up your own studio. Get the licenses and creators of series to work with you to focus on animes that you like. Other than waste time yapping about what you think deserves this or that. Cloverwork did good work on what they worked. End of story, move on. You are in the right to criticize bad work done by studios. But you don't get to to decide what get's worked on.
