Episode 1
Geez, how did I miss writing about the premiere last week? Anyway, I like this. Sports anime is not my favourite genre but so far this one isn't coming across as super sporty despite the fact that golf is obviously a prominent part of the story. I like the genki Tonbo and her dynamic with Igarashi. And just like a Salad Bowl of Eccentrics, this title is avoiding the "sweet & sour" dynamic of a sweet girl paired with a grumpy old man who treats her gruffly. Her grandfather clearly isn't sold on Igarashi, though, no doubt sensing there is something troubled about the man. Anyway, looking forward to the next episode that I guess drops sometime tonight on Amazon. Kinda surprised that Amazon is back in the new anime show business. They seemed to stop running new anime a number of years ago. |
