Coming some time in 2025. The finale for the first season just aired today. Check out the Crunchyroll article for additional information. Synopsis for the first season from AniList:

Where the average scores are the lowest, but the fights are the strongest. Furin High School is renowned as a super school of delinquents. Haruka Sakura, a first-year student, came from outside the city to fight to the top. However, Furin High School has become a group that protects the town called the “Chime of the Wind Breaker” – Bofurin. The heroic legend of high school delinquent Sakura begins here!

Haven't seen it yet, is it good? What is it about? (the description isn't really helpful for me)

I am liking WBK.

As @wjs018@ani.social says, it's a fight-of-the-week show, but at the same time it's a parody of the delinquent fight-to-the-top genre, where despite his best efforts, the MC gains social stature and rises in the school's very socially respectable delinquent hierarchy. i.e. he's rising in the delinquent hierarchy like he set out to at the beginning, but not in the way that he expected nor wanted to.

It has some nice animation too. The figure animation in the fights is quite good, with action scenes seemingly rotoscoped from kung fu movies, parkour clips, with even 1 or 2 sakuga moments.

And the fighting has less bullshit "My dick is bigger than yours! No, my dick is bigger than yours!, No wait, my dick is bigger than yours!" magic shit like JJK or Naruto. Sure, the "good delinquents" are tougher than anything alive and can take punches that should demolish small houses.

The writing is also decent. Unlike the recent failed delinquent fighting comedy "Bucchigiri?!?" the MC is cool to watch and has a relatable journey as he learns real lessons about leadership and what it really means to be "top delinquent"

Ok sounds interesting, will try out.

I haven't watched it, but have seen it described as a delinquent fighting anime in broad strokes. The clips I have seen have shown some great animated fight sequences, and it is one of the shows I missed this season that I am planning on trying to catch up on for the future.

Paging @zabadoh@ani.social as they have been the one showing up in each of the discussion threads for the show.
