It is stylish and confident, but more like the relaxed kid in class who knows everyone is already watching. Instead of turning the film into a non-stop fight extravaganza, the movie focuses more on character development. The film tries to fit the anime’s first season, about four manga volumes, into one two-hour movie, which is a lot. The Wind Breaker live-action adaptation captures the series’ heart and attitude, but rushed character development and uneven fights hold it back. Even so, while the film might fail to match the anime’s action or pacing, it gets that the series is really about Sakura’s journey.
