Honestly, Run with the Wind is the total pakacage...interesting, unique/relatable characters that we see develop over the course of the anime, beautiful/powerful/emotional OSTs, fluid animations and so much more. I wish more people would give it a chance.

"Why does no one watch this show." My same exact reaction after finishing it with my face wet with tears. This is literally one of my favorites and I get sad whenever I recommend it to others and they end up skipping it because it's "boring". 😩 Run with the wind is a masterpiece that everyone needs to give a chance. I hope more people get more interested in watching it through your awesome reactions!

It's remarkable how many of my favorite scenes in the show were all loaded into those last 5 episodes. Whole show built up to one race and boy did it deliver.

These reactions have been the highlight of my weeks, it has been such an incredible journey, I am glad you guys enjoyed it so much

This was genuinely one of the best reactions I've ever watched. The way you guys were both stressed the heck out but also excited made /me/ emotional as heck in return, even though I've watched the finale a bunch of times, and it was such a nice, satisfying experience. The number of "so good"s in this video alone kept cracking me up :"D Really didn't expect to enjoy this so much. Kazetsuyo and Haikyuu are fairly different in their setup but they do have somewhat similar vibes (very similar in how well both stories are executed), and eventually, I'd say from ~S4, Haikyuu starts getting into the more mature territories kind of like Kazetsuyo does but in its own unique way. Seeing your reaction to this, can't wait for you guys to experience Haikyuu's finale as well (wish the format was more worthy of the story but oh well...). Once again, thank you so much for watching this show! It's a crime against nature just how underrated it is. P.S.: the team Haiji is set to coach is a corporate one (実業団), so I'm assuming it's tied to some kind of a company.

My brother was Hakone runner. He was elite runner . But he injured during the game and withdrew. I was shocked by the news on live broadcasting. Truly, Hakone is very tough. Haiji and everyone good job.

THIS SHOW IS JUST THE BEST!!!!!!!!!! I am so happy that you guys love the show so much, I loveeeeeeee it so much too😭😭😭😭😭 About Haiji destroying his feet, I think it totally resonable and that makes me tear. Because Hakone Ekiden is just something he dreams for and running with all his beloved teammates. I remember Haiji cries(showing his trembling hands) two time, one time when Prince passing the goal and one time for Shindo running with fever. I think that bond and their determination is what Haiji thinks of running, so he will never stay back although he knows he may not be able to run again. I think it worth it, I mean this is a real dream and this time is his last chance for the race.(There are some documentary for Hakone Ekiden, I know it better when I watch it. It's really great and moved to watch so maybe you can watch it too!) And Haiji really makes us see the TOP!!! There are so many things to say, about Yuki and his family(EVERYTIME MAKES ME BURST OUT CRYING), about Nikochan senpai's love toward running, about King being so realated to everyone watching the show, and about Kakeru's growth, seeing his change from episode one and now as a totally strong person. This show is just beyond incredible. Of course, Kakeru saying"You are the answer."to Haiji just makes me burst out crying. For all the episodes they're seeking to reach the answer, Kakeru sees Haiji as the answer . Haiji builds himself up one piece after one piece and becomes strong. HE IS THE ANSWER FOR THIS SHOW. I really love that this show simply telling us that running is not about fast or about win. It's about "strong",and we will keep running and running.(Just like life...The things this show want to show the audience are just so awesome!) Love when Haiji's confession saying he really is frustrated during the time he broke his leg, feeling everone's betraying him, showing that his mental is really not as strong as we see during the whole show. However, running comes back to him in a much more beautiful form,with all the people fighting struggling and running together. He is thinking that he is being blessed,not cursed. Could anything be more wholesome than this? And I love the ending so much too, they're forever family, running and seeking their answer. Everybody is still on the road. Agree to Lindsey, I really didn't know how they're going to make the race when watching it but it's just turn out to be perfectly. There are no surprising scenes actually, but all these are just satisfying. I HATE people who don't watch this show too HAHA!!! Last, looking forward to the discussion! Really love the reactions PS, Haiji is coaching adults team I think, the team with company.

“Hey, do you like running?” ❤️ I said it on your Patreon on the full length last month and I will said again here … the Hakone Ekiden arc in RWTW (18-23) is one of the best arcs in anime. This whole show deserves all the praise it does get and OH BOY does it deserve soo much more! Forever will be in my top 2 and honestly can we all agree that Haiji is one of the best characters in anime? Let alone sports anime? Your journey through Run with the Wind was wonderful to watch. This is honestly why reaction channels should exist and you two are definitely one of the good ones. Watching people engage with a piece of art\media authentically for the first time and fall in love with it is a wonderful experience. Thank you again for giving this show a chance and I’m looking forward to your deeper discussion!

For Kakeru, being in love with running and being in love with Haiji are the exact same thing, because to Kakeru, Haiji is the meaning of running.

Also I love the final line of the show. "Hey! You like running?" Obviously a callback to Haiji's first words to Kakeru, but also I think it's one to the audience. I feel like a lot of people grew an appreciation for running from this show, so it's a great question to ask the audience.

Yuki's part is probably my favorite, it's the one I cry the most with

It was so nice rewatching this show with you guys 😭😭 I'm glad I'm not the only one who got so emotional 😅

What a beautiful journey. It was an absolutely blessings seeing you both fall in love with the show. Thank you so much for those reaction, it was great rewatching the show with you all!!

Run with the Wind is such a great show. I never heard of this until i saw u guys reacting to it and before i watch your reactions, I binge watched the show. It was totally worth it and I totally loved your end discussions and your genuine reactions. It is thanks to u guys that i was able to stumble upon such hidden gem.

Chihayafuru is similar. Its kind of a sports anime except its a card game but the same themes apply when it comes to dreams, talent and competition

Thank you two for see this show, it's really make me soo happy to see people loving soo much the show like I love.

A CRIMINALLY underrated anime

this must be the 20th time i rewatch the last 2 episodes (or the show in general) and i sob my eyes out every single time without fail. i'm not exaggerating when i say this is the best show i've ever watched in my entire life (anime or not), i even got a tattoo inspired by it and every time i look at it i'm reminded how much i truly love this show. and how much i love haiji kiyose god dammit!!! i'm so glad you guys enjoyed it this much and like you said everybody should watch it cause it's a shame more people aren't talking about it!!

i recommend chihayafuru. its sort of a card game but actually more like a physical sport and is considered a sports anime(dont worry about needing to learn the rules. its very simplistic and described well). sorta hard to explain until you actually watch it. but it also has a focus on characters. their growth and relationships like this show does. it has great writing and makes you want to root for the team that are all competing at various skill levels. i quarantee if you give it a couple episodes you will get hooked. i personally like it a little more than haikyuu but a little less than this

If u loved this show, I’m pretty sure u will also enjoy March comes in like a lion. It also depicts each characters stories and struggles so well and the animation is amazing.

50:11 Haiji's dad is listening to radio and gripping the stopwatch so hard like exactly the same as Haiji when Kakeru slowed down for Prince in episode 10. Darn that is so powerful.

Weirdly enough, I love the feeling of running in the winter. I always do half marathons every year, and there's one in December and one in August. And while there is snow everywhere, and the temperature is like -15c / 5f. The air is so crisp when it's cold. Anyways, Yuki had my favorite part, he's such a good character. Even though he's sarcastic and was against it at first, he's actually very perceptive of the other boys. He's always first to notice when something is up with them (you notice this a lot on rewatches). He's a good boy.

"Why does nobody watch this show!" 4 real! Thank you for reacting to it! Such an unknown gem. I search youtube periodically to see if someone reacts to it and im glad I found yours!

Everytime I watch these episodes I feel so nervous even though I know how it ends. It was such a fun ride to rewatch this with you two. I could recommend Chihayafuru. A sports anime about Karuta, a japanese card game. It currently has 3 seasons and the manga ended this year, and they could fit these rest into 2 more seasons. The manga also made Karuta become popular among the younger crowd again, which is just amazing.

"Hey do you like running?" Makes me so happy, that's the first sentence Haiji says to Kakeru in Episode 1

Not gonna lie, I broke down when I saw his dad with the earbuds in, listening to the race.

Thank you for reacting to Run with the Wind. This is my favorite anime of all time. The character building is so strong and everyone is so real. Whenever I need motivation I rewatch it and everytime it hits me in all the feels. I don't know how many times I've watched it at this point and I loved watching your reactions. Now I feel like I need to watch it again!

This show is so great. Similarly, I found RWTW earlier this year after watching Haikyuu and RWTW really made an impact on me. I’ve been running since last year to get in shape, and this show is so motivating for me to keep going and trying. Perhaps someday I’ll be able to complete a long-distance race. I enjoyed rewatching the show with you guys and it makes me so happy that you love it, too. It was a great ride! Impactful storytelling, great soundtrack, and animation. I cannot say enough about how awesome of a show this is.

experiencing this again with you guys is such a great feeling. What an amazing journey, im so happy you reacted to it ❤️ this show definitely deserves to get hyped

I have watched it three times. I’m so glad you guys did the reaction for it, so happy with this.

I simply love Kaze Ga, for me is the best sports anime, and i think is a blasphemy been so unkown If I could recomend sports shows that are so incredible like it i would recomend Ballroom Youkosou, Tsurune and Chihayafuru, any of them Im certain that u wouldnt regret watching

love to see you guys do a tier list video of the shows you've watched on the channel. also then maybe more people will realise what they are missing out on when you rank this show highly lol

I fucking love this show. I can't begin to describe how much love i have for it. Thank you for reacting to it. Love you guys.

literally one of the best sports anime if not the best by far, so underrated

You are the reason i learned about and now love this show

bro, my tears can't stop (again)...

日本でも有名なタイトルではないので、再生数は伸びなかったでしょうけど この最もと言っていいほど過小評価されているアニメを選んで下さって感謝します

16:49 🤣omg that moment you thought King died had me dyin'

I'm so happy you loved Haikyuu and Run With the Wind so much ! There are not enough people who enjoys these shows who, to me, are truly amazing !

59:43 is an actual mood I've really enjoyed watching you react to this series - it's such a gem~ It really made me relive watching it for the first time.

日本の視聴者です。リアクションお疲れ様でした。 Hikaru no go ヒカルの碁は昔のアニメですが、とても面白いです。 囲碁（日本の遊び）が分からなくても大丈夫です。 機会があればご覧ください。

Love this show, & was happy to see that they loved it, too & got just as emotional watching these last eps. When they started their reactions, I was surprised to learn that it's considered "underrated", 'cause it's poplular enough in my vicinity (with the novel receiving an award & made into live action movie, stage shows, & animated show). Great if their reactions caused more people to check it out. Others have already mentioned some of my other fav sports genre shows, but I, too would recommend "Tsurune" (though sn 2 is coming out Jan '23, so it might be better to do it then) & "Ballroom E Youkoso" (I also like Chihayafuru, but not sure about calling it a "sports" show). If you're up for a much longer series, "Dia No Ace" & "Kuroko No Basuke" are also good. For much lighter, shorter shows, "Bakuten!!" & "Yuuri On Ice" is OK as well.

I wish Netflix still had Run with the Wind

Run with the Wind is one of my favorite since I can relate since as I'm a runner myself. You can also try to watch Yowamushi Pedal. Its like Run with the wind with slightly more comedy and its covers about Cycling. You will also enjoy this.

One of my top favorite Anime.

WANT EVERY ONE WATCH THIS SHOW TOO!!!!!

run with the wind my favorite 22 episodes anime ever!

I believe Haji coaches long distance running teams sponsored by big companies or teams composed of company's employees. I recall reading a manga title about a bunch of joes from a company formed a running team many years ago. My memory is vague on that because I am not made for long distance running. (6'4 and 250 pounds)

I wish there were a season 2🫡

Let's recommended to everyone

I'm looking forward to your discussion of Run With The Wind.

lol im glad you 2 liked the show so much, as an ex runner myself i definitely held this show close o my heart and gave it 10 out of 10. iv you want some other sports animes that are just as good or better. id say watch kurkos basketball and hajime no ipp. also ahiro no sora isn't to bad, its not as good but its very underrated and under the radar kind of like how this show is. also a bit of a more realist basketball anime then kurko

To replace a wholesome sports anime with another wholesome sports anime I would recommend either Tsurune or Welcome to the Ballroom

top tier reaction!!

You guys should definitely check out Ping Pong the Animation as the next sports show, whenever that may be.

I love this show so much!

best ending anime--> "run with the wind" and "86"~

Great show

This is pure Joy

WHY IS THIS SHOW SO GOOD????

Great reaction

I recommend Chihayafuru before, and also Ping Pong.

Thank you!

this show is amazing

This anime is a masterpiece, my favorite from sports, very well done. You need to react more sports anime, many masterpieces to watch.

Run With The Wind is an excellent anime. It's well written, it's well drawn, and well animated. It's so relatable and real. Maybe that's why so few people actually watched it. It's too real. Just based on popularity of anime genres there is a clear trend towards the "unreal"; Think about Isekai, or Shonen, or Super Power, or Supernatural, or Harem genres for example. They are probably the most popular out there, and yet they all are far from reality. It's fantasy. Run With The Wind is just too real for most people (and perhaps a bit slow in terms of pace), so it's not popular because of it. Maybe people want to forget reality for a second when they watch anime, and just get lost in a fantasy world. That could be one explanation. Maybe that's why the majority of viewers gravitate to certain genres. Realism is just too painful, or too much of a reminder of real world problems? I'm just assuming here. However, those of us who finished Run With The Wind know damn well how great it is. It's a hidden gem. So even though it is almost an unknown anime, I still consider it high quality. It's a solid 9/10 in my book. I'm well aware that it's a difficult recommendation to random anime viewers - since they all prefer the mainstream genres as I alluded to before - but that doesn't take away from it's quality. Run With The Wind is what it is, a 9/10 (perhaps even a 10/10, it's so unique). Very good by an objective standard: Story telling, character development, variety of characters, relate-ability, world building, scenery, it's captivating, drawing style is modern, animation is fluid, sound is good, and it's motivating (which most anime simply aren't). Honestly, it's not lacking much. It's very good.

Thank you

If u guys loved this then u should react to blue lock it's amazing as well 💙

I recommend you guys to watch Chihayafuru

ima start running after watching this anime

This anime is so good 10/10

Slam Dunk... manga is pure gold but anime is... yeah, so I recommend Chihayafuru. It's also freakin good.

pls react to welcome to the ballroom its so good also

It’s 2 minutes difference , 13 hours and xx minutes

このアニメは最高よ

Please do welcome to the ballroom (ballroom ee youkoso)

her smile T.T

You should probably watch hajime no ippo

Why had a Gundam video in this playlist? I think you need to react Gundam IBO, it's don't need to watch nothing before. 👀

If you want to watch a sports anime that brings you so much joy and laughter but also very relatable and sad stuf, I really recommend SK8 The Infinity, it's a skating anime but DEFINITELY WATCH THE DUB it's so funny

pls react to blue lock 😭
