Umemiya's Style

Back with another one..

Once again the TL;DR kind of?: I'm still easily impressed, damn Choji was real f'ed up in his head, the way they portrayed everything inside choji's heart and mind was amazing, hopefully we'll get to see sparring matches between Shishitoren and Bofurin or maybe them teaming up against other gangs later.

The first thing I want to say is how taken aback I was by how good the OSTs were, again. Especially when Choji was reconciling with Togame.

I also like how Sugishita immediately understood what Umemiya was trying to do and just shut Sakura up haha

The shots they used this episode looked really good too. I liked the one of Choji right before the opening so much! It really showed how broken he was.

After episode eight I already empathized a lot with Togame's situation. However, this episode made it very clear how he has been trying to keep the wreckages of Choji's actions together so their group wouldn't fall apart. I was glad to see how Choji recognised how Togame had taken that burden on him for such a long time.

I didn't know the history was so deep in the Lion's Head gang. Choji was messed up but I'm glad he realized his mistake in the end.

The way they portrayed Choji's darkness and loneliness was cinema. The way Togame got closure was so emotional.

I didn't know Wind Breaker would be deep and metaphorical. I just though it would have cool fights but it's so much more than fighting. I'm heavily invested and will be continuing on with the next arc.

The animation is so smooth. Fantastic choreography. The fighting sequences are long and not cut frequently which it makes it more gripping.

So glad Season 2 is coming in April, I'll finally catch up and watch Season 2.
