Movies and TV Shows I have saved in my Media Library and why these are worthy of rewatches!
Run with the Wind
This anime is truly a wonderful story about determination and overcoming odds to find one's self and meaning in the world. Running is the catalyst bringing these characters to attempt something that has never been attempted. All these characters are not top athletes and their struggles are real.
When I was in middle school, running was pretty much my muse. I was good at it. Really good in fact the P.E. teacher begged me to join the track and field. Sadly, I was bound by self-doubt and to be honest, the burden of carrying my school to victory during track meets was just too much for me. I loved running cause it brought me freedom. I didn’t want to be bound by rules and expectations that would weigh me down. So, when I saw this animation show I was moved. It literally had what I was struggling with when I was in middle school all scripted nicely into a story I can personally connect with.
So, if you are interested in checking this out see this trailer below and see if it resonates with you too: Please Note there is an English Dub version of this show.
Thanks for reading and dropping by my friends!
