Wind Breaker Episode 6 Discussion

I don't know if you guys feel the same, but I feel like the choreography was kind of lacking, I was seriously hoping JJK's level of choreography and serious action sequences. I guess JJK just pushed a standard that even Wind Breaker seems to struggle with.

This is practically a delinquents version of Bocchi the Rock in terms of the quality of the adaptation of the original work. I'll really regret it if they don't try to adapt the entire manga or at least make more seasons of the anime. Because while it's normal for battle shonen, especially ones about delinquents, to have cool, brilliantly animated fights, the fights in this anime are some of the coolest animated martial arts scenes I've seen. It's really getting me more and more interested, even though it's essentially just a straight-up action story about street fights.

@Grim1952 This show has already been accused of being too simple outside of its fights, so let it at least have some plot lmao.

@pansz Lol, when I compared the adaptation of this work to the Bocchi adaptation, I didn't think people would also call animating drawn content an "improvement" in the same way.

@RobertBobert haha, I like when the studio really adapts the anime, it doesn't just copy from the manga/light novel, and today we see a lot of studios that simply copy, then when a different one comes along that really does a good job, it's cool to see to see

@RobertBobert my problem is how it's told, let the fists talk.
For example, the story in Tekken 8 is pure garbage BUT the final fight is a masterpiece on how to use martial arts as a story telling device.

@Grim1952 So, if I understand you correctly, you think that in a show with such a deliberately simple plot, it should focus as much as possible on the action so that people think less about it?

@RobertBobert you didn't understand me at all. Action scenes can tell a complete story without words.
Since you ignored the Tekken part I'll assume you haven't played it. The final fight is Jin, the mc, vs Kazuya, his father, and throughout the fight Jin goes through 3 different movesets to show his character development through the series, his own style, his father's which he had abandoned to oppose his heritage, and his mother's which he had abandoned to seek power.
That's the kind of storytelling I want.

@Grim1952 I completely understand what you mean about storytelling through action. What I don't understand is your desire to simplify even more an already fairly simple plot. This will obviously make the show more difficult for people who already constantly complain that these anime rely too much on visuals rather than a classic plot. While I agree, many of them simply don't understand how the different types of stories work.

@RobertBobert but it's an action anime, what's the point in trying to appeal to people that dont want action?

@pansz That's not the point, but the fact is that if you call the animation of a picture an "improvement", then any anime is an improvement on the original.

@RobertBobert I don't think they all are, I'm just saying, that if the anime just copies the manga, the same scenes and the same frames, if I want to see that, I simply open the manga chapter in color and put some music behind it, but "adapting" a manga to an anime, you have to change some things to fit into the anime, know the soundtrack team and the track itself, know when the OP and ED will come in, if there's no extra scene, it's just a copy of the manga, why am I going to watch the anime if I've already read the manga? that's my point

Great episode, I really liked it. The fight was good although in my opinion not as good or hype as the others but still good. Only problem with it is the backstory and that's just because it's very dumb. Like why would a guy just go edgy mode and join the "dark side" after being told to not follow the guy he idolizes. Just makes no sense whatsoever. The writer definitely should've come up with a better idea than this. But it was still a good episode although probably my least favorite out of all these episodes just cause of the backstory.

Can we not just enjoy the show without tearing down TR
