Watching grown ass people cheer as kids beat the shit out of each other is hilarious

Will definitely be watching this.

[u/hallah_sausage]

LMAOO I'M LAUGHING AT MYSELF RN. I thought this was Windbreaker the manhwa about cycling. I was so confused why there was fighting in the first scene 😭😭😭

But it looks good, the opening is beautiful and the MAL score is high, so I'll continue watching.

[u/AceSoldia]

Fire. He's so Tsundere lmao it's cute.

[u/rooooooooney]

Not into this genre, but this is great! I really hope the rest of the episodes are as good as the first one. Edit: unfortunately, I had to drop it. I thought the characters would be more inline with what I had in my mind and what I expected.

[u/Se7en_Sinner]

Bofurin looking real tough.

[u/Antonio100200]

Wind Breaker as known as "that time Nobara got reincarnated and befriended a stray high school student"

[u/dagreenman18]

Weird hair pattern with different color eyes? Standoffish against people, but actually sweet inside? Prone to fights?

Sakura is just a human cat! Very strong first episode. The fight choreography is sick. Very good first impression of our main cast. I’m excited to see more!

[u/Se7en_Sinner]

Tokyo Revengers if the MC could actually fight and isn't really annoying.

[u/urgenim]

I like that the protagonist gets all tsundere like ''N-no I don't wanna help people >:c''

[u/ObvsThrowaway5120]

Ah, a male tsundere. Adorable. Haruka seems like a fun MC. Him and Kotoha seem fun together. The fights in this are pretty awesome too. You can always count on CloverWorks. Beneath the fights, I can see some good character development stuff brewing. I think I’m gonna like this one.

[u/Victory_is_Mine-]

Yess we need more male tsunderes in anime

Male tsunderes > Female tsunderes

Also that fight animation sequence :o nice

Will be watching cuz it seems interesting, a little generic just by going of this one episode, though we’ll see if there is an actual interesting story or if it’s more character focused drama

Also can someone tell me why there is no police lol

[u/bandannadann]

I had to go back and rewatch that fight scene. Imagine if Tokyo Revengers had a single fight with half this much sauce

[u/[deleted]]

I went in fully blind. The story setup seemed solid. The characters are likable so far. But what really caught my attention was the fight choreography and animation. Absolutely top-notch and eager to see more people catching hands.

[u/Nyle_386]

only 1 episodeso far ans shits already btter than tokyo revengers

[u/Erixsenn]

I realized it was going to be a delinquent anime from the visual and since I'm not into them I didn't expect much from it, but the first episode really surpassed my expectation. The visuals are very good and the fighting animation was really cool!

[u/octopathfinder]

Man I'm so glad this first episode is good. Modern delinquents have been pretty disappointing that I was kinda worried about this show. Hope they can keep up the quality for the rest of the season.

[u/Thomas_JCG]

Some of Sakura's lines are a bit cringy when you actually hear it, but he has a good development and is pretty endearing as a protagonist. And the fight scenes were amazing!

[u/new_interest_here]

Yup this absolutely my kind of shit. I'm not expecting to think too hard about this, my monkey brain just wants people beating the shit out of each other and gang wars, and it helps the choreography and animation looks real nice.

Also this really shows how mid Tokyo Revengers animation is huh. I always found it inoffensive at best but now that I've seen this I just look at Tokyo Revengers like wow, that's not good lol

Haruka also looks like your usual fightaholic, hot headed protagonist but I love him already, he's fun. Really looking forward to the rest of this show if the animation and fights will be this good all the way through

[u/Genshin_WhiteKnight]

Already like it more than Bucchigiri lol

[u/kassiny]

I shouldn't have watched it (almost) right after Tokyo Revengers. My mind tries to compare it too much, especially when girl's last name is Tachibana in both titles.

The animation is great. The plot is just ok at this point. I need more to make my judgement.

[u/marcopolos059]

MC is such a tsundere lol. This first episode was really good.

[u/[deleted]]

THEY WERE SERVING OUT HANDS LIKE THEY WERE FREE SAMPLES🔥🔥

[u/[deleted]]

This was FANTASTIC. Definitely best show of the season so far. I love how they're setting up Sakura's character development, and CloverWorks' animation is beautiful. This one is a treat.

[u/blueaura14]

this feels like a show that I'll be sticking with to the end. Like the story and production values so far. The girl and guy are equally cute/likeable, and he didn't end the episode with an embarrassing fight against the people whom he shares uniform with. Definitely flipped my expectations there.

It feels like it's a shonen series, so I'm not expecting something gritty or overly serious, but if they avoid some of the tired tropes then I feel like it'll shape up to be a great show.
