It would be hard to find an anime that is so ignored in the English-speaking world. Oi dragonfly. There are too many strikes… It’s a sports anime to begin with, so it’s tough. It’s golf (surprise, this comic is published in a golf magazine). There are no superpowers or “Hunger Games” rip-offs. There are no handsome boys, and the heroine is a cute girl, but there are no sexual depictions. It’s not really surprising that none of the major streamers picked this up. Even if it were brought up, it would probably have been largely ignored.
But here we are, in a season full of bubble series. Oi dragonfly This is the first non-sequel work that I’m aware of. If the standards were different, it would be the kind of show I would just watch – these posts would hardly be read. But sometimes you just have to do something for yourself, especially if you have hours on end like I do. Of course it’s more fun to write about your favorite shows on your blog. Very occasionally, a series I pick up for my own gratification actually ends up building a local following here. Kick off to the galaxy.This is different GeK – That series was great on another level – but it’s still one of the most entertaining installments of the season so far.
The geeky golf stuff here is really fun for me, but I’m starting to unravel a little bit of the Igaiga story as well. He’s starting to let his guard down a bit, like the professional way of mowing a course’s greens (which is much more complicated than a non-golfer might imagine). Tombo also brags to the others about how good a golfer he is, and when they inevitably all play a round, he realizes he might as well do a little punching bag, and if he doesn’t Their suspicions will be aroused. He does so (takes his fingers off the club mid-drive), but Tombo isn’t fooled for a second.
It’s understandable that the moth becomes increasingly fascinated by this wild child who performs miracles with a golf ball purely on instinct. Her grip, the plane of her swing, the face of the club – she’s always tweaking something to compensate for that she only has one club. However, there are only so many things you can do with She3 Iron, and so many things you can’t do. For example, aim straight for the pin with a short approach over a bunker from a sand-filled divot. He longs to see her hit a wedge. This is the club where true golfers can use their magic. But Dragonfly has no interest at all since seeing him perform that approach from a divot.
Igaiga’s final strategy was to replace the battered three grip with a new one and attach the old grip to a 58-degree wedge, a smart (if slightly presumptuous) strategy. But there’s more to this story. The wedge he uses belonged to his son Rintaro (Yu Hatanaka). Igaiga wasn’t exactly the father of the year, let’s just say that. I thought it was a problem on the course (probably the yips) that forced him into exile, but it seems that the problem on the course had seeped into his personal life, and that was his real reason. Maybe he ran away. It seems like he certainly ruined his son’s love for the game and he definitely seems to regret it.
I’m a bit conflicted about what’s going on after that reveal. On the other hand, it’s great to see the bond between the dragonfly and the mussel grow stronger and each gain something from it. Tombo rekindles her love for Igaiga’s own golf, and in fact, he says she was the first “friend” he made on the course (which is actually pretty sad). On the other hand, it shouldn’t be a replacement or proxy for fixing things with Rintaro, who is really being wronged here. I want Igaiga to remember that and know where his true responsibility lies.
All of the tricky things that the mussel shows the dragonfly with its wedges are evidence of his newfound playfulness. And while she’s clearly fascinated by it all, here’s how to unravel his madness. This two-ball trick of hers is a real teaching tool, but again she finds a way to overcome this challenge in Tomboy style, not in a book. It’s true that golf has a huge number of rules and theories regarding technique. But she doesn’t have to do that. Still, she refuses to accept her idea that Tombo will become a professional and she returns to her obsession of never leaving Hinoshima. Why should she try to become a professional golfer and get rich when she has no way to spend the money anyway?
Actually, it reminds me of a current baseball manga. diamond steel (diamond days) – and this topic is featured in the “My Taste is Better Than Yours” episode that covers it. If someone is a genius at something, does that mean they are obligated to perform at that level? Is it wrong for Tombo to “waste” his talent by knocking balls around his tiny home course when he has the potential to compete at the highest level? What is happiness for her as she is?These are not easy questions to answer, but I think this is one of the themes she Oi dragonfly We ask you to consider it.
