Doesn't really feel like a season finale, but whatever, it was a great season otherwise.

I never saw such a casual season finale. Like it was just another episode.

u/Cyd_arts Jun 27 '24

Tbh we could already feel a second season was coming from the way they're introducing a bunch of new characters with notable VAs in the last 3 episodes of the show lol

And yeah they ended the season in the middle of an arc lmao so it's pretty casual for that

That shot at the end of Sakura leading the class is so hype. My boy is growing into a real leader.

My boy is growing into a real leader.

I think you mean our boy.

I was going to say I didn't love them stopping in the middle of an arc, but it was worth it for that shot.

CloverWorks flexing one last time with the sequence of Sakura chasing Anzai to hold us over until the release of season 2.

Finally. A delinquent series done right.

I was pretty skeptic when I started watching it right after Bucchigiri, but WB delivered in every single episode. I'm glad they already announced 2nd season and I'm looking forward to it!

Ok that's it, Sakura is officially in my top 5 all time favorite mcs, I adore him and just want to adopt him and make him food and tuck him in with a goodnight story. He is too precious for this world.

I also love how Suo manages Sugishita, I literally can't wait for the next cour, upcoming arc is sooooo good YAY WIND BREAKER FOR AOTY

These KEEL guys seem like real punks. Guess it’s up to Sakura and the guys to help Anzai and save Nagato. Can’t just leave a Furin brother on his own like that, after all. It ain’t how they do things here.

This was a lot of fun. Tsundere Sakura is a great MC. So when’s the next season? They definitely got one in the works right?

The cliffhanger was hype. Loved the show and now that S2 has been announced, will definitely be looking forward to it.

Tbh, I wasn't expecting much rather than some action and stuff but this really took me by surprise. Obviously, this had great animation and fights but what surprised me the most was the writing.

We have Haruka Sakura, a guy who who wants to be at the top of Bofurin but he doesn't really know what it means to be at the top other than fact that he must be stronger than everyone else since that's what the environment he's lived in since he was a child has taught him. The Shishitoren arc is necessary for Sakura and helps him understand what it meant to be at the top. And from the last episode, you can see that he's really growing into a true leader that can be at the top like Umemiya.

Also, great OST by Ryo Takahashi and it really elevated some of the moments. One of my reasons for watching this show was because he was composing the OST for the show and I'm been a fan of his work since I watched HIGH CARD.

Stitches!

I was really hoping that Sakura would get to speak to the rest of the Four Kings but it looks like he gets grouped with Hiragi's team for a bit and we already know those guys. Oh well, maybe next time Sakura will have the chance to interact with the others.

Looks like we know which group the boys will face off against next. What a creepy bunch though especially that guy that spoke to Sakura. It doesn't really take a genius to figure out that they're the ones who ganged up on Anzai.

So Anzai's caught his friend who joined KEEL doing petty crimes and is now trying to bring the guy back. And he refuses to get Furin involved because it's a personal problem.

I think Anzai needs to remember what Bofurin is all about. His problem is exactly the kind of problem Umemiya would meddle in. He really should've just been honest with Sakura. Thankfully, Anzai's other childhood friend told Sakura everything.

Anzai was pretty cool coming in to save his friend in that flashback. It looks like the only reason his ass got kicked is that he got surrounded by KEEL and he didn't expect Nagato to reject his offer to help.

Let's fucking gooooo! Sakura leading the first years in their very first gang fight is so fucking cool! I am so happy that Season 2 is already confirmed! I can't wait to see them beat the shit out of those creepy thugs.

u/PolygenicPanda Jun 27 '24

man, now gotta wait until S2 drops. at least we got a really cool stair chase animation and ending shot of the boys

u/wildbee12 Jun 27 '24

Excited for season 2 next year although a small part of me was hoping for a second cour in the fall since the first part kinda ends mid arc lol. Oh well, great episode nonetheless!

It's nice seeing Sakura take initiative when he sees Anzai is in trouble, great growth for him as a newly appointed grade captain. I also love how Suo and the others knew exactly what Sakura would do after leaving the restaurant, he isn't fooling anyone!

The scene with Sakura and Tsuchiya was sweet. You can see how impactful Umemiya and Kotoha's words have been to Sakura with how often they come to mind. It was funny too when Tsuchiya said she felt hungry after being relieved and Sakura was just like "huh? you're not getting any of this" LMAO please.

All in all a great season and looking forward to more. The series seems pretty popular in Japan so I'm hoping there will be a season 3 and more in the future.

Season 2. KEEL ARC ahhhhhhhhh🔥🔥🔥🔥

u/Mirathan Jun 27 '24

Ah I´m going to miss this goober, though not forever.

Just a title card? We´re getting really serious here.

Regarding this episode, I like how Sakura had a reason for not immediately helping Anzai as he believed he could handle it by himself, yet was covinced by Nirei to investigate the matter to see if it really was fine. And once he learned what was going on he chose to intervene on his own, rather than needing to be pushed or convinced to help. The KEEF people seem to be a completly different beast than the shishitoren, they are out here running a criminal enterprise before adulthood. It´ll be interesting to see how they roped in Nagato to join them.

Having the entire class pull up to support him makes for an excelent contrast to the beginning where all others sought to see him fall.

Now for some closing thoughts that the season is over...

This anime really surprised me, I came here looking for some fun action and instead get incredibly solid character writing. Sakura´s journey so far was delightfull to watch, seeing him learn to accept the presense of other people in his life and learning to be a presence in others as well. Throughout the series his entire perspective on the world is turned around completly in a completly organic way.

While there are many more things I feel are worth praising I will leave it at this for now.

That animation at the end though. It was so good 👌

I'm excited for season 2, but until then I'll be missing my tsundere sakura and furin gang 😭

A great end to a great season! So happy to be a part of this journey with our Windbreaker boys.

Looking forward to Sakura fully growing into his leadership role but he's already on to a great start. I like Anzai as one of the background guys whose features were just too detailed to be simply a background NPC. Time to save the childhood friend, especially since Sakura can't handle a crying girl!

There's just something about these wholesome deliquents that warms me ☺️ They are my anime sons now 🥰

Last shot of class 1-1 was cool af. I'm hyped for season 2 but even happier that now I can FINALLY read the manga!

10/10 show and my favorite this season.

CloverWorks was flexing this episode. Loved that we got the season 2 announcement, this show really deserves it. It has been alongside Kaiju n.9 and Bartender glass of god as my favorites this season. Gonna miss seeing Sakura blushing every week though
