In spite of my busy schedule I& #39;m gladly making time for Run with the Wind! I& #39;m excited for this one since I& #39;ve heard only good things.
Thoughts on this thread. Spoilers abound!

I& #39;ve already watched most of episode 1 so this is just me refreshing my memory for a bit.
Safe bet these two are gonna be the best of friends???

I keep on pausing so I can answer work emails lol it& #39;s gonna take a looong while before I finish
He& #39;s the devil I love it hahahaha
But you& #39;re stick thin wtf?
The butterfly.... is faster than him.... I& #39;m concerned
Ugh I want to watch more but I have to prepare exams. Taking a break here, will continue later!
That& #39;s not good, Oji.

I signed up for another one of those anime that will make your heart ache, haven& #39;t I?
What& #39;s your problem, you ronald mcdonald looking asshole
Just say you& #39;re in love with Kurahara and go
Oji spitting even in that ridiculous pose.

I understand King& #39;s worries tbh, pretty ideals won& #39;t pay the bills. But... I feel like I can survive anyway if I have friends who& #39;d have my back. Haiji isn& #39;t wrong either. :/
I have to get back to work. Will continue later!

Crushing hard on Haiji ngl. Kinda worried something bad will happen to him. I hope it& #39;s not that kind of show.
https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="😭" title="Laut schreiendes Gesicht" aria-label="Emoji: Laut schreiendes Gesicht">
This is only the beginning for him. He& #39;s gonna get faster. Haiji knew this run wasn& #39;t only for the newbies, but for Kakeru to gain perspective. He needed him to experience how harsh reality can get, as well.
My heart aches for these two; they obviously have conflicting ideas on how it means to run, likely from their own painful experiences. Ugh. This anime is so good.

WAIT HAIJI NO
NOOOO WHY DO YOU DO THIS TO MY EMOTIONS
Should I keep watching or take a break here... I really want to know what happens next I& #39;m worried about Haiji but I have an early start tomorrow.

I guess one more episode won& #39;t hurt
The perfect duo doesn& #39;t exi--
A really good episode. Seeing Ouji improve at running and Kakeru& #39;s character development bring me immense joy. (When he slowed down to cheer Ouji on??? I love them sm.) I think this is a good time to pause for a bit. Let me bask in this warmth.
Will continue watching later.

Oh, they& #39;re cheering... HAPPY CRIES
If there& #39;s one thing I& #39;ve learned in all my watching anime is that this guy is likely not evil even though ominous sounds play when they show him lol
NEW OPENING!
Aww they& #39;re all smiling
This is so hype hnnng go Aotake!
And the way they only need look at each other to understand? I swear their relationship as a team is one of if not the best I& #39;ve seen in sports anime

I didn& #39;t even notice my hands are clamped together tightly in prayer this whole scene
I know it& #39;s not all sunshine and rainbows so I& #39;m preparing myself for the inevitable gut-wrench of an episode #/trustissues
I would probably go on jogs if I live somewhere with this view....
Hahahaha who am I kidding, I already live in a scenic place and I& #39;m still too lazy to do that.

I& #39;m so sick of these Tokyo U wannabes especially Ronald Mcdonald ugh redemption arc when???
I understand that they& #39;re the other source of conflict though so they& #39;re necessary on a narrative standpoint. Some characters you just love to hate
I understand, ok? It& #39;s just he hasn& #39;t seen Kakeru& #39;s efforts to better himself. He only knows the old Kakeru. If they& #39;d only talk it out.
He& #39;s still an immature jerkwad, though.
(This guy likes to run too... run his mouth that is.)

OOF Haiji& #39;s a savage and I love it.
Wait.... is this the guy he punched at the beginning of the episode? So he punched the coach... DESERVED

Lmfao exemplary pieces of modern art. Where can I get one? Please tell me these are official RWTW merch
Getting water splashed on your face while running looks fun
I live for minor characters getting those little scenes that hint at a depth that will go unexplored on-screen, bec they& #39;re not the focus of the story, but breathes life into them. We believe then that they feel and they exist and they grow into the best versions of themselves
"It& #39;s because we& #39;re viewing it together. I doubt we& #39;d feel this way if we view it alone." Damn, I miss meeting up with friends
I believe in you, Ouji. Faito!

I really like Musa. He& #39;s caring and insightful.
I& #39;m fcking crying rn. Fck
Are we going to watch another episode even if it& #39;s almost 4? You betcha we will
I& #39;m just kidding, as much as I hate it, I still need to sleep since I have work. </3

They& #39;ve really grown to be good friends, haven& #39;t they? They can be honest with and depend on each other now.
I want Haiji to pep talk me into getting my shit together
Gosh, I& #39;m so nervous for them.
I& #39;m so nervous, my hands are also shaking!
(Hello? I want what they have. Can I???)
(Why did this remind me of L washing Light& #39;s feet? Brains are weird.)

Wow ok cliffhanger I hope Haiji& #39;s ok
Fckcfrickfrcck this is going to affect him later I JUST KNOW IT. I JUST KNOW IT. I JUST KNOW IT. PRAY FOR HAIJI
Go, Kakeru!!!
Oh my dear lord I knew it.

Wow , the music. You can really feel the sacrifices all of these athletes have made to qualify. It& #39;s inspiring.
I am so proud of Aotake!
(But Ouji, next time, don& #39;t swallow your puke.....)

Hahaha love how Yuki is so into this now
Don& #39;t talk to me. I& #39;m crying. I& #39;m sobbing. I& #39;m a collection of tears pretending to be a human being
Alright, one more episode before I go to bed.
The twins are just about to waste all the time and effort they spent on practicing. I get how they& #39;re feeling, but wish they& #39;d get their acts together soon and find some purpose other than "getting girls".
(Not competing because of the possibility of loss--sounds like me tho.)

Does this clown really have nothing better to do? It& #39;s already episode 17 and he& #39;s still running his potty mouth like a dumbass. Just move on already
Aotake& #39;s running is not about competing with others or trying to win. If anything it& #39;s probably about overcoming yourself. I can& #39;t wait for them to arrive at an answer.
We can& #39;t rely on the path that others have taken in their search for meaning; we must make our own.

I really hope Haiji is alright. My thoughts are running wild: what if he doesn& #39;t get to finish Hakone? Or worse, he gets to, but it& #39;d be his last bec of the injury and he won& #39;t be able to run anymore for the rest of his life???

Not ready for pain.

I CAN& #39;T BELIEVE IT& #39;S ONLY EP 18 SO MANY THINGS CAN STILL HAPPEN and who was the sick person?
Oh no, Shindo... I bet he& #39;s been holding the stress in. T_T That Ronald Mcdonald guy jinxed them uggghhh
Yes, you are. I& #39;m so proud of you. Go, Ouji!
Why is Shindo raising death flags I can& #39;t even
I& #39;m not even that much of a fan of sports anime/manga but I recognize these names and silhouettes (especially charas from the ones I watched/read: Hanamichi, Ippo, Hinata, Sena, and Ryoma). RWTW is aware of its genre and so is written as both a homage and a subversion to it.
https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="❤️" title="Rotes Herz" aria-label="Emoji: Rotes Herz">
When they include these monologues while they& #39;re running, still telling a story and adding depth to characters, it really drives home that they& #39;re not running to compete (in the traditional sense). It& #39;s almost meditative.
I don& #39;t want to stop watching yet but at the rate I& #39;m going I don& #39;t think I can make it to the last episode (it& #39;s past 3 AM). I& #39;ll watch the last 4 episodes later so I can pay more attention! I have a feeling it& #39;s going to be intense.
Can& #39;t wait!
Can& #39;t wait!
Aww, Shindo& #39;s family!
My heart aches for him. Please he& #39;s so sweet, give him this

I want Haiji to take care of me, every time I hear his voice I feel reassured.
Yuki& #39;s internal monologue is wrecking me. This kind of honesty from him is hitting so hard.
https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="😭" title="Laut schreiendes Gesicht" aria-label="Emoji: Laut schreiendes Gesicht">
Omg his family went to see him. UGH IT& #39;S MAKING ME CRY AGAIN
FUCK DON& #39;T MAKE THAT FACE
Everyone& #39;s favorite is back
oh am I smelling depth from him? hooo
All I want is a rival like Fujioka is that so hard to ask
Every single one of their internal monologues hits hard and I& #39;m living for it
This is it! This is exactly it! I& #39;ve been thinking about the philosophy behind Run with the Wind and I& #39;m convinced it& #39;s a good anime to watch if you want to understand existentialism.
This music is so hype
LAST EPISODE!!!!
23 episodes is a weird number, wouldn& #39;t it normally be 24? Someone please tell me if I& #39;m missing something
So this isn& #39;t important but both Haiji and Ouji are literature majors. My course in college was literature too sksk
Whenever Haiji talks about Kakeru, I really feel like I am understanding love and longing a little better, no joke.
My heart is so full.

HE BROKE THE SECTION RECORD
Haiji is on painkillers I& #39;m so scared
haha I had to pause for a bit since the tears are obscuring my vision hahaha what a clown
YOU CAN DO IT HAIJI
I& #39;ll be right back just gonna dwell in these feelings and sob for abit
"The wind is blowing and we defy it by running, believing the answer we seek lies ahead. [...] What is living? It& #39;s all beyond the wind. Hope resides within our hearts. Look, the road is right before your eyes. So we run again today. We& #39;ll run to the edges of the earth."
This anime was an incredible, uplifting experience. I wish I had the words to express how good it made me feel. Aotake& #39;s journey encapsulated a lot of things we go through; their story is universal. What does it mean to run? To be together with others? To find meaning? To live?
Also, sometimes, I hate myself. https://twitter.com/kayrantine/status/1319380826140758016?s=20">https://twitter.com/kayrantin...
