The release date for Wind Breaker Season 2 is set for April 2025. A new key visual and teaser were released on Sunday as part of the announcement. The new season was originally announced back in June of this year after the Season 1 finale. Check out the teaser and key visual below:
Studio CloverWorks animated the first season with Toshifumi Akai as the director and Hiroshi Seko (Chainsaw Man) in charge of the series composition. Taishi Kawakami (Akebi’s Sailor Uniform) worked as the chief animation director and character designer while Ryo Takahashi (Arifureta) composed the music.
Wind Breaker received rather fair ratings on anime-scoring websites. On our own Spring 2024 rankings, it was voted the Best New Anime, placing only behind Date a Live V overall. The series placed 16th for the season on MyAnimeList with a score of 7.79, falling just short of CloverWorks’ other anime series airing at the same time, Black Butler Public School Arc (7.97). Over on Anilist, Wind Breaker ranked a little higher, placing 14th with an average score of 77%.
The series garnered some praise on social throughout the season due to its stellar display of hand-to-hand combat animation throughout the season and wonderful visual storytelling. The series even has a stacked voice cast that includes some of the following voice actors and actresses that many anime fans know very well:
- Haruka Sakura – Yuuma Uchida (Megumi – Jujutsu Kaisen)
- Hajime Umemiya – Yuuichi Nakamura (Gojo – Jujutsu Kaisen)
- Hayato Suo – Shimazaki Nobunaga (Shinichi – Parasyte)
- Ren Kaji – Nobuhiko Okamoto (Bakugo – My Hero Academia)
- Akihiko Nirei – Shoya Chiba (Shin – 86 Eighty-Six)
- Kotoha Tachibana – Ikumi Hasegawa (Lena – 86 Eighty-Six)
- Choji Tomiyama – Toya Kikunosuke (Denji – Chainsaw Man)
- Toma Hiragi – Ryota Suzuki (Ryusui – Dr. Stone)
Crunchyroll is streaming Wind Breaker with English subtitles and describes the story as:
Welcome to Furin High School, an institution infamous for its population of brawny brutes who solve every conflict with a show of strength. Some of the students even formed a group, Bofurin, which protects the town. Haruka Sakura, a first-year student who moved in from out of town, is only interested in one thing: fighting his way to the top.
The release date for Wind Breaker Season 2 is April 2025.
