hey, do you like running? | Run with the Wind

Sports anime is one of my favourite genres, so I could not finish the Run with the Wind anime and not make a blog entry about how special and heart-warming it was! Since I couldn’t stop missing Haikyuu!, it felt so great to find another inspiring story and watch new characters embark on their very own journey <3

‎ ‎ ‏‏‎ ‎

Plot

Rwtw is about a group of university students who begin to train in order to participate in the Hakone Ekiden, a famous university race between Tokyo and Hakone held in January. To enter the race, the twenty competing teams must have either 1) been among the top 10 teams in the previous Hakone Ekiden, 2) had good team results in a qualifier preceding the actual Hakone Ekiden.

At the core of the plot of rwtw lies the fact that most of the members of the team did not actually want to run in the Hakone Ekiden, but were tricked to do so by Haiji, one of the main protagonists, who had them sign a lease agreement in which they - unknowingly - agreed to be part of the track field team of Kansei University when they moved into the house in which Haiji lives. Haiji is the heart and soul of the anime, he is the one who tricked everyone into joining the team, designed their training schedule, cooked their meals, and acted as a mentor and reliable figure for his friends and team-mates. He also recruited the other main protagonist, Kakeru Kurahara, who is a first-year with impressive running abilities but a reserved and rather cold and short-tempered personality.

‏‏‎ ‎

Characters

We also progressively get to discover the rest of the team - the energetic twins, Jota and Joji; the kind and reliable good student, Shindo; the caring and hard-working exchange-student, Musa; the nonathletic manga-enjoyer, Prince; the calculating and at first very reluctant to join the team law student, Yuki; the nicotine-addict who wants to do better, Nico-senpai; the trivia fan, King. Some of them take longer to warm up to running than others, but their personal growth is so empowering to witness, especially since it’s really easy to relate to the characters and their struggles! It’s also really refreshing to watch university and not high school students, which makes them all the more relatable for an older audience. It’s also really heart-warming to see how all of them went from room-mates to team-mates and then real friends, especially since some of the characters’ bonds became even tighter throughout the journey.

Like for many sports anime, friendship is at the heart of rwtw, which is why it’s so easy to get invested in the story because we come to feel as though these characters have become our friends too! Just like Hana, the high school student who helps them out, we root for them from the sidelines - I found myself smiling and cheering for them so many times as the series progressed. And friendship doesn’t stop past the track field either, there are so many great scenes of bonding and camaraderie throughout the anime, be it during training or a heartfelt conversation between the characters. In that respect, Prince and Kakeru’s friendship is one of my absolute favourite in the series, episode 10 being the turning point for me - from then on, I was really invested in the story and could not wait to keep watching <3

‏‏‎ ‎

The meaning of running

Throughout the series, the characters often ask themselves what it means to run - even, and mostly, Haiji, who is the one who started all this, and whose passion for running keeps chasing after the unanswered question of what it truly means to run. After spending so much time training and working hard, the question of “what is it all for?” inevitably arises, especially since the team truly started from scratch and each character put a lot of effort into improving. Pursuing goals and not knowing exactly where you’re going, questioning winning and speed, assessing your abilities, finding motivation, are all tackled from the different perspectives of all the characters, be it from central characters such as Kakeru or Haiji, or at first glance secondary characters like Nico-chan or King. And although most of these questions remain without a definite and verbalised answer, watching all of these characters grow and overcome their own struggles has us get to the bottom of what it means to run. Running is not about winning or being the fastest, nor is it about getting first place or breaking records. Running is about the team-mates who are waiting for you at the finish line, it’s about setting goals for yourself and doing your best to achieve them, it’s about recognizing your weakness and still pushing forward, it’s about friends helping each other out.

Run with the Wind has us understand the meaning of running when we look at the outstanding personal growth of the characters and everything they achieved together. Although in the Hakone Ekiden each character runs their section separately, they are never really alone - we always see the rest of the team encouraging their running friend and doing their best to carry on their effort in the next section. Rwtw is all about bonding and team-spirit, which is why it so profundly captures the essence of sports. (/!\ SPOILER ALERT) To use King’s words, Haiji’s dream became their dream, and as Kakeru so simply and powerfully says - “the answer is you”.

‏‏‎ ‎

Kakeru (/!\ SPOILER ALERT)

And finally, I wanted to dedicate a section to Kakeru, who became so dear to me. I expected Kakeru to resemble Kageyama from Haikyuu! - which he did, and I loved it <3 I have nothing against character tropes because I think that what matters most is how these tropes evolve into a character that feels authentic as we follow them on their journey, and this is exactly what happened with Kakeru. He went from cold and reluctant to run with this team to such a supportive friend, and seeing him open up more and let go of the past was so moving.

Kakeru is not a relatable character in the sense that he struggles particularly hard to achieve his goals - when we meet him, he already is a fast runner and undoubtedly the team’s strongest member. However, Kakeru has his very own character development centered around letting go of past mistakes and embracing the future. Not only does Kakeru grow to believe in the goal that Haiji set for them, but his mentality changes completely. He starts to pay attention to his team-mates, he helps them improve and becomes not only a model for them, but a real friend. Among them, Kakeru is accepted for who he truly is, without judgment, and he is sincerely believed in. Kakeru smiling more and showing more emotion by the second half of the story was so lovely to witness and he became so endearing as the story progressed. Haiji passing the sash to him is peak symbolism - Kakeru played his part in keeping their dream alive <3

‏‏‎ ‎In the end, rwtw reminded me of hq by the depth of the bonds between the characters, the attention to their growth, and the questions it puts forward. Although we can only lament that the 23 episodes of the series don’t leave as much room as in hq to explore the characters’ pasts and motivation, the time we spend alongside them has us truly grow attached to them and invested in their journey.

“The mountains of Ekiden are? The steepest in the world!”

how do you feel about the watcher campaign announcement? 👀

HIIIIIII SLUGFISH!!!!!! I'm so so SO EXCITED!! I've always wanted nightcat to get a campaign and I'm so happy they're finally getting one!!

I'm most excited about the environment it's set in :) I hope its going to be completely removed from the local group we know. I want NEW perspectives and places and lore. I wanna know more about other parts of the planet; it's biodiversity and ancient cultures.

One thing that's really intriguing me is the new regions they teased. Notably a tundra and a desert, two biomes that are characterized by their lack of rainfall on our planet. Plus how both can co-exist and be traversable by a slugcat within it's lifetime. I'm so excited for the lore and gameplay around it!! And all the new creatures!!! I really hope nightcat/The Watcher is just a normal slugcat or doesn't have crazy powers. I want an authentic rain world survivor-adjacent experience again--as much as I love the characters and gameplay of dp. They've also heavily implied that they're gonna mix up a lot of the dynamics of the ecosystem so I'm :)))) I love speculative biology yay

Also SUPER exciting that the entire original Videocult team is working on it!! I couldn't be more giddy!!! I am terribly, AWFULLY, particular about accurate lore integration so I am a bit worried about how easy it could be mess up the lore due to how complex it all already is, but I'm gonna save my fear and judgement for the final product lol. I'm sure they're gonna do great :)

Very curious about the rot themes as well... I highly doubt the rot is from pebbles. I will be very disappointed if it is. I also hope they integrate it in a clever way and it isn't just rot for rot's sake.

I've seen some people, especially on twitter, fearmonger about it being bad.. So strange to me... We know absolutely nothing we've just gotten a teaser and some screenshots. calm down everyone let them cook this might be amazing. Have some whimsy.

Overall very happy obviously lol. A bit cautious but I have very high hopes.

PRE-ORDERS ARE NOW OPEN! Pre-order the Weight of Summer, a 260-page Run with the Wind fancomic, here before 8/31: https://rwtwfancomic.bigcartel.com.

SYNOPSIS: Haiji Kiyose has just moved in with his boyfriend, but every day, he wakes up alone. Kakeru is busy training not for races, like he has been for so much of the time Haiji has known him, but a new job as a physical therapist.

As Haiji watches Kakeru moves past one life they shared—a life that Haiji thought he had moved past, too—Haiji must face the question: What if life is really about learning to stand still?
