At last - a golf anime!
|
I don't know why, but this gives me an "old school" vibe.
|
|
That was my favorite premiere of the season so far. Very fun and charming, and pretty golf accurate.
|
I like the girl. Full of energy and enthusiasm. Such a shame there's no one her age group on the island but at least there are other kids to play with. Now that "Igaiga" has arrived, we can watch her grow up and develop her golf game under a former pro. This ain't no Birdie Wing Golf Girl Story but it's a wholesome anime in the same kind of space (girls sports). Will follow for sure.
|
I'm guessing that everyone calling the golf pro "Igaiga" is some kind of pun in Japanese. Can anyone elaborate on it?
|
If it is I've never heard it. I assumed it was just playing off his name being hard for Ooi toi pronounce.
|
You think this is an ad about the country, golf, or the cute girl, but it's an anti-ad for kanji because even they can't read their own fellows names.
But yeah, Barakamon golf. |
Not that I expected anybody to be talking about this show, but it's really good.
|
Tonbo being 15 is the biggest twist of the season, she looks and acts like she's 12 or something.

Probably because Tonbo lives on the island her entire life so she acts younger compared to those who lives in the city.
Yes overall very old school vibe, you will probably see anime in the 90s with similar premises - captain tsubasa starts with similar premises - Roberto being down and see the talent of Tsubasa is the start of the Captain Tsubasa. Obviously the focus of Oi Tonbo is different. It becomes a breathe of fresh air after all the recent ones who twist and turn for the sake of having twist and turns. |
Producer of this anime talks a bit on why he created this anime. Perhaps unsurprisingly he's a massive golf fan.
|
I figured this would be a passion project of sorts, considering the age of the source.
