I told myself I’d watch an episode of Run With the Wind before going to bed

But I’ve watched three, and my adrenaline is so high that I’m somehow even less tired than I started.......

Kakeru throwing away the record time he’s been obsessed with in order to encourage Prince, I’m SOFT

TW eating disorders

I also appreciate a sports anime touching on eating disorders in athletes??

The way society celebrates athletes who push themselves to the edge, and the thin line btwn healthy (quitting smoking) and dangerous (not eating) ways to do so was rlly well handled!

I’m so distracted by Kakeru pouring soy sauce and mayonnaise on his curry...... my beautiful sweet stupid son.........

Also, Ucchi (Tsukki from Haikyuu) playing a earnest, refreshing, wholesome boy (Shindo)

And Miyu Irino (Suga from Haikyuu) playing a prickly nerd who does not want to participate but is forced to anyway (Prince)

is REALLY throwing me off lol

As a person who is also juuust barely holding it together—I feel you, Shindo

It’s 1 am, but Kakeru waiting until Haiji whispers “Go” to stop holding back and speed up his pace, ultimately tying for 3rd place in the qualifier race of 500+ runners.......... Thank you, Kazetsuyo, I’m fed

“Musa, once this is over, let’s go see the snow... It really snows in my hometown.”

“I’ll imagine us having a snowball fight while I run.”

THIS IS SOFT, AND I’M SOFT

This is weird to articulate, but I appreciate that the exhaustion in Kazetsuyo is ugly?? Like the entirety of Shindo’s leg is difficult to watch; Prince breathes so hard you can barely hear Haiji; Nico-chan-senpai throws up after he finishes; Yuki’s shoes are full of blood

Platonic things to remark to a teammate after you get off the phone with your team captain

I said earlier that Kazetsuyo makes exhaustion ugly (and Haiji’s injured leg uncontrollably spasming as he collapses WAS upsetting)

But I think the animators were like “ok everyone but Haiji can make ugly exertion faces, Haiji MUST ALWAYS BE CUTE”

Platonically viewing your teammate as a being made of light

And platonically describing each other as “That’s my dream right there. It’s taken shape, and it’s running” and “The answer is you. It’s you.”

It’s been so long since I finished an anime, what do I do with all my Kazetsuyo feelings!!!!!
