Run with the Wind

Depending on what kind of person you are, you may consider the first few episodes to be slow or you may be immediately sucked in. I was the former and I'm so glad I continued watching this because it was so worth it. I read that this is the same studio that animates Haikyuu (another favourite of mine) and the animation in this is so wonderful, but the stories are vastly different.

Run With The Wind is slower-paced which means not as action-packed as Haikyuu but it's also more emotional for having only 23 episodes. I enjoyed immensely the character development and growth of all 10 of them and the progression of their friendships. I loved the diverse characters and I really appreciate the inclusion of Musa and the way they highlighted the racism he faced as a foreigner in Japan. I honestly didn't want this to end so I cried during the last episode, but to be fair, the final few episodes were really emotional to me because I had grown rather fond of the characters.

Its a muct watch solely becuz of its animation,for any anime fan this series must be in their list,it have a really good story to go along with it

I started watching this anime even before Haikyuu, but the comparison comes across because this anime shows how mature Haikyuu is becoming to me with the seasons passing by, so for all of those who likes anime and are into Sports topics like this, there's nothing new to say that the drama and overcomes about the struggles to achieve something that seems to be further ahead or even impossible in the current wave of life is nothing more that a challenge to be beaten and the story grows so perfectly with every character that is not just the story of one, is the story of a team with a disposable leader, and don't misunderstand me, I'm telling this because everyone is taking his part with such maturity that even if one falls, as little as he is doing, the rest will show up to help him out and still working to surpass any difficulty that is currently in front of them.

In other words, is not just a sport anime, the spectator doesn't even has to have an inclination to sport or anime. This talks about a beautiful phase as the College is, and is related to the jobs, the family issues, the relationships and the commitments to reach the goal about any important topic in the life of any one. May be I'm exaggerating, but may be not, just watch this, is short, is amazing, the music of Yuki Hayashi doesn't have any leak or weak in his purpose. One of the best animes I watched so far.

I was skeptical of this show because I figured I didn't want to watch a bunch of guys running when they would probably follow the typical sports anime tropes where they win after monologuing about hard work and the like. Essentially, I didn't think there would be any suspense or point to it. Interestingly, I now believe that running actually adds a lot to the anime that other sports maybe couldn't. Largely an individual, mental sport - running allows everyone to compete against themselves. If winning is your goal then you run to win, if mental fortitude is what you want you run to build that up, if you want to be fit, if you want to gain a hard work ethic, if you want to prove you can do something hard, if you want to build your resume or beat addiction or meet friends - running can do that for you. Running allows each member of the team to face their own issues while also working as a group to conquer a larger goal which really allows this show to shine. Hard work genuinely and believably pays off in this anime while the team also comes together as close friends. Also, this show is hilarious - especially the first few episodes had me laughing out load. I also appreciated how realistic each character was. They had their own unique goals and wit and charm. This anime is definitely worth your time. The animation and soundtrack are well put together - which is to be expected from the studio that brought the world Haikyuu and Psycho Pass. It's a quality, well paced plot with characters that you want to root for while they develop and change. Please give it a watch.

This anime left me with a special feeling when i completed the first season. The OST and visual are very nice. Netflix has done a great job by adding this title to their shows. The first three episodes are kinda different comparing to the remaining episodes as i felt like the main race started from episode 4, so please be patient till that. It's Yuki Hayashi who has composed the background scores and he's famous for his previous works with My hero academia and Haikyuu. The anime was produced by Production IG, the same company which produced Haikyuu and Psycho Pass. They're so good in creating sport animes. I'm unable to compare this anime with Haikyuu. I feel both anime has something unique which I'm unable to describe it through words.
