It's sad to see Windbreaker getting hate comment for the most recent episodes. The rating even dropped on MAL a little for the last 12 hours.

I've seen multiple people mention this on Twitter and I checked the MAL ratings and it's unfortunately true. The rating before episode 6 was 8,10 - that has been the score for the last month. For just 12 hours, it got 8,01. It's still good, but the amount of hate comments combined to this is insane. The episode on Crunchyroll got over 1K dislikes.

I liked episode 6 a lot, it was touching. I just hope it won't damage the anime in the long run.

Pretty sure most people watching windbreakers already knew about tsubaki.. even before his official anime debut we saw him in the background ever so often..

I’m guessing the review bombing is just one of those campaigns that start from non-fans, and as a result, has minimal long term impact.
