The writing was almost comical at times, but I'm here for it, I'll check out episode two at least.

Agree, it's like the MC has all this self loathing and wants to be the "baddest of the bad delinquents", but mistakenly winds up in a situation where he's in the middle of "good delinquents" who are beloved by the community!
A protagonist who is psychologically damaged from all the teasing about his non-conformity, and can't take a compliment, yet he remains good at heart.
He has come to this high school of delinquents to fight his way to become top delinquent, but that is old information, and the current gang at the high school is actually protecting the town, or at least this one shopping street, from roving gangs.
Some of the fighting is well animated, with kinetic visual impacts, good foley (sound effect) work, while keeping it at a somewhat realistic level.
Realistically, the guy fighting alone would have been pinned down and beaten to a pulp quickly, but instead the chanbara style fight choreography sending the thugs in one at a time to get beaten.
The name of the high school that our protagonist joins is Furin
Thanks to the students/delinquents protecting them, the locals, have nicknamed them Bofurin, which translates to wind break/shelter belt hence the title of the series "Wind Break"
(also note this where the nickname of the "I Maxxed Out My Defense" comedy anime Bofuri comes from)
A very different take on high school delinquents from last season's Bucchigiri?!?
This looks like it'll be fun!

Done!
Oh! I was a bit confused where the nickname "bofurin" came from, but ended up forgetting to look it up. That's neat, thanks for sharing!
I also just noticed that the MC's name, Haruka Sakura, is two girls names, making him even more ridiculous...
This was really, really good. I'm a bit of a sucker for this kind of tsundere delinquent character, and Sakura's reactions to getting teased for being a good person were absolutely perfect. The fights were a lot of fun, even though the camerawork seemed a bit more ambitious than the animators could handle in places. I'm looking forward to meeting all of our different weirdos.
Very excited about this one. 5/5
The characters apart from mc looks like they are from a "Tokyo Revengers" rip off and I am not really the fan of some of the dialogues (except this one maybe) in this episode but the action looks but promising though.
