--I was not expecting "Wind Breaker" to essentially end on a cliffhanger. Season two can't come soon enough.--
I do love how it was both a cliffhanger and a sort of full circle with the former loner Sakura now leading his team off to battle.
--...I think I might just be an Umemiya fangirl now.--
Umemiya is definitely my second favorite after Sakura.
--I wonder if this could have anything to do with companies drawing things out more to avoid outpacing a show's source manga.--
Possibly. The manga is on chapter 111, but, as is common with action-heavy series, fights that take up pages and pages in the manga are reduced to a few minutes when they start moving. Just 12 episodes moving slowly blew through roughly 39 chapters. Although, I also suspect the show was always intended to have 24 episodes and the break in-between is give the animators time to keep the quality up.
--Unfortunately, the third series you mentioned was not dubbed.--
Sadly, it wasn't dubbed, and I have a sinking suspicion I'll never see it on home video either. *sighs*
