Not gonna lie Iam enjoying this anime, unfortunately this good story needs more better animations.
One of good story but doesn't get treated very well, kinda shame thinking of the salary & economies in there wasn't big different compared to 2000s.
Company nowadays are more greedy when talking about money, instead of making improvement they are more backwards.
Take a look on how damn good animation back in the days (yeah I know a lot of them are overworked & underpaid) compared nowadays with all of these technology & ai can be used for the industry but still underperformed.
At first I don't really get it if this gonna be good or not but episode by episode i really enjoy watching but not that much.
I'd love how they make world most boring sports into something adrenaline rush sports, lm…

This might honestly be one of the worst sports anime I've ever seen. The characters are absolutely insufferable. Who are we supposed to be rooting for here when the MC is a shallow nasty person. She has golf super powers from the first episode so no buildup whatsoever. What is the even the plot? She wants to prove her golf swing is better than other random golfers? The whole thing is so ridiculous I don't know how anyone could take it seriously. If you want a really good golfing story then watch Rising Impact. If you want a good sports betting anime then watch One Outs.

The idea of a golf anime, for some, may be hard to comprehend. Golf is not the most riveting sport in the world (I actually quite enjoy it, and even I admit it is not the most exciting). That said, what better place is there than anime, where any and everything can be taken up to 11, to make such a non-riveting sport into a wacky, fun story all about it? Enter Birdie Wing.
As the synopsis suggests, the intertwining of the arcs of the two MCs, Aoi and Eve, is the focal point of this story. The contrast of their prefaces is hardly original between Aoi, the renowned child prodigy, and Eve, the disgruntled vet who fought her way to the top. As it is with most facets of this anime, the golf motif makes such elements feel quite original. What makes this duo, and many others like it, so endeari…

A teenage girl involved with some questionable acquaintances is a wonder with a golf club, so much so that she makes her rent payment through playing courses for professionals as a proxy, and through private bets where the stakes are high. Her perspective and ambitions are challenged and changed completely when she meets another junior golfer her age, who is also an aspiring professional.
Birdie Wing has everything and the kitchen sink, from shady organizations that engage in life-and-death gambling, to rainbow-colored and specially-named golf club swings that make them seem like some kind of ultimate attack, to corporate ambition and greed. It dangles the prospect of the main character building a meaningful relationship with her foil in front of the viewer like a carrot, while also juggl…

Birdie Wing is a surprisingly engaging show about the world's most boring sport; golf.
I'm surprised how engaged I got with all the matches and genuinely cheering for Eve and hoping she could get out of her bad circumstances with her family. The stakes of them losing their only home gave what could easily feel like repetitive golf matches the necessary tension. With the addition of her beginning to reach higher and care for her craft Eve was given plenty to work with as a character. Gave her some good depth.
The characters definitely are the highlight of this show. They're all very charming with unique, eye catching designs. Golf clothes are typically stereotypically ugly in things so it was fun to see the actual types of designs that professional golfers would wear. Well, for the ones w…

It's an anime about cute girls playing golf... and then shit gets real. There's a mafia war going on with golfing as the central gambling element in fights for turf, characters do ridiculous shots to psych each other out, a boss literally creates an underground arena where the course can be morphed into nearly any arrangement by long trucks with terrain on top, and that's just the first couple of episodes. It's absurd, and I kinda love it.
This joins a small set of shows that don’t have any transcendent moments, but are so much fun and so consistently so that I can’t help but enjoy them. There wasn’t much in here that I didn’t like, and though it still feels like we don’t have a good grasp of how these characters got to be as fired up as they are, they certainly do enough to ensnare me. I…

Birdie Wing Golf Girls’ Story makes the impossible possible. It made me enjoy my least favorite sport, and it has everything I could ever want from an excellent sports-romance hybrid anime.
High-stakes tournaments? Check.
Lesbian romance? Check.
Badass heroine? Check!
Hilariously campy tone? Check.
Catchy soundtrack? Check.
Mafia conflict? Check?
Clever writing? Check!
Golf sakuga? BLUE BULLET! I’ve never seen anyone take golf as seriously as these girls, which makes it so amusing. Eve, also known as “Rainbow Bullet,” is a teenage golfing prodigy who plays in high-stakes competitions against the best-of-the-best. She becomes entangled in the underground world of bidding on golf to provide for her found family. In these over-the-top competitions, losing is not an option. The story has no e…

Birdie Wing is a mediocre show that attempts to straddle the line between romance and action/comedy and fails to excel at either, petering out somewhere around the halfway point of the season.
The two main characters – Eve, an underworld golfer that makes money on shady bets, and Aoi, a high-society optimist who’s simply better than any of her peers – meet through coincidental circumstances through mutual love of the game and then proceed to fail to develop their characters any further in any way. They’re already at “full power,” as it is, having their perfect shots that easily win them every golf game they're in, and have no way to grow even when occasional opportunities present themselves. An intentional lack of knowledge about the courses they play, opponents they're up against, or eve…

This is rough in almost every way possible.
The characters are basically static and tossed in random events where they can continue to be broken records in the most asinine scenarios.
Some people praise it for the "yuri". But holy damn the other girl isn't even present in 90% of the anime. It's just not even a factor.
Nothing in the show is here for accuracy nor consistency. 20 yards between balls? Like 3 feet at best if you just look at the distance of the balls.
There's basically zero stakes even when the show is trying to tell you how high the stakes are. Everything is just done in the most trope way they could manage. The end result is a dull experience where you can pretty much guess the "twists" before they even happen.
The entire anime is just Eve yelling out colors anime style…

Birdie Wing actually surprised me for how much better I thought it was going to be, so it's kind of sad that it still scores this low. Despite being an anime original, it’s actually well-structured and paced unlike many anime originals (talking to you Carole and Tuesday).
The story is actually pretty fun as long as you suspend your disbelief. I mean, women’s golf matches in illegal mafia betting matches with millions of dollars on the line. I totally thought this plot point would be eventually forgotten in favor of development of later story arcs, but this show actually manages to make the plot points about the mafia relevant, and wraps it up in a meaningful manner before continuing on with the story. It reminds me of one-outs or Kengan Ashura, which is very good. However, at the same tim…

Watching Birdie Wing: Golf girls Story after having just watched a lot of Gundam entries was a treat to see. Despite it’s about golf, it feels like a mecha series. It feels as if they are more trying to fight in mobile suits rather with golf clubs. There all sorts of cameos such as Turn A Gundam and Victory Gundam Gunplas did one of the characters is into, the characters can read each others minds like Newtypes, their golfing styles and strikes get ridiculously portrayed as exaggerated powers, both Amuro and Char’s voice actors are in this, and one of their protagonists is a fiery woman that resembles Tomino’s protagonists, especially Kamille.
The rivalry between Eve and Aoi reminded me many times about Joe and Rikiishi from Ashita no Joe. Eve is a underground golfer who gambles high stak…

Based on the title and the key art, I assumed this would be a typical high school sports anime, perhaps one with tea parties and cake. I was wrong. I was so, so wrong.
I like to think that this show's genesis started with a production committee telling an animation studio that they wanted a story about crazy golf, but the writer had never heard of crazy golf. So instead of ramps and miniature windmills we find ourselves in a world where the criminal underground makes decisions based on the outcome of high stakes golf matches. Since Birdie Wing has no interest in subtlety, these matches take place literally underground. Golfers shout the names of their special golfing moves. There is psychological golf warfare. There's a nymphomaniac snake woman with fangs and questionable personal hygiene…

One of the issues while assessing the quality of an anime is that it is always assumed that the people behind the project are trying to deliver a product that is intended to be, at least, entertaining and profficient. The problem of Birdie Wing is that behind the shock factors and subversive absurdities there is an extremely bland progression, with endless tensionless episodes, awfully forced comedic gags, and an uninteresting artistic direction, defined by stiff characters gestures and an awful artificial green color that my eyes cannot but cringe to. The reality is that the anime is obviously not trying at all on those aspects, and it will subsequently enter the category of “Too bad that it could be good” type of shows that some people are obsessed about, for better or worse. To elaborat…

I don't write reviews very often around here, but this time I felt the need to because this was MY FAVOURITE SHOW OF THIS SEASON.
If I had to give the main reason why I would recommend this series it is because EVE IS AMAZNG MAIN CHARACTER.
She doesn't fit into the stereotype of "cute girl" so common these days, but rather she is a character worthy of admiration, full of courage, and who has the necessary guts to face any challenge that comes her way.
Personally, I have always found attractive the characters with dominant characteristics, which generate great influence on the rest of the accompanying cast, making the work interesting by following in their footsteps.
Regarding the sporting aspect, golf works as a device for developing personal interactions. It is not an account of life di…

Birdie Wing is my vote for the most surprising anime of the season. This is an original property not based on a manga, VN, LN, etc. The script writer of Excel Saga just decided one day that he wanted to make a women's golf anime in which professional women's golf is heavily tied to the mafia. The mafia places bets on the golfers in order to settle disputes and the golfers compete in a massive underground lair based on the NERV GeoFront from Evangelion. This anime is fucking insane. You never know exactly what you're going to get from script writer Yosuke Kuroda. Sometimes his batshit insanity actually manages to work splendidly, as is the case with Excel Saga, Trigun, and Hellsing Ultimate. Unfortunately, he's also penned some duds like Goblin Slayer, Jungle de Ikou, and Valkyrie Drive Mer…

This show is good enough that it got me to round up my lesbian friends and play mini-golf. That’s the short review, but I can go long as well.
You should know going into this that I despise real golf and everything it stands for. But lucky for me, Birdie Wing is not a show that respects its sport. In the very first episode, our main character declares “I don’t play golf. I hit a ball with a stick for money.” She's so stupid. This *show* is so stupid, the kind of stupid you get out of 2000's anime and can't help but adore. It's also the most fun I've had out of a seasonal in years.
Birdie Wing’s production details have been a hilarious mystery to unravel. Original sports anime are quite rare, so I was baffled as to how this show even got made until I started digging further. Bandai-Namco…

SPOILER-FREE!
Golf and I get along like oil and water – we simply do not mix. I’ve gone to the driving range several times, spent some days out at the links (both voluntarily and when I’d rather not), and have even tried watching the Master’s on television. Even after all these years, actually playing the sport itself just bounces off me like rubber. I can see why it has the appeal that it does, but I think it’s fair to say that I’ve given golf more than my own fair share of time and chances. There comes a point where you must shake your head and admit that something’s not worth pursuing as a hobby or activity any longer. It’s a shame, but that’s sometimes the way things go.
BIRDIE WING: Golf Girls’ Story was therefore a show that I was taking a major chance on. There was, however, reason…

Goddammit Sunrise (You're still Sunrise to me, BN Pictures). After what seems like eons being trapped in the Gundam and Love Live salt mines, finally do they come up with another wacky original. I thought, man, it's just Golf, quite possibly the most boring sport in the whole world, how could they pull it off. And boy oh boy how glad I was to be proven wrong.
First off, the gritty noir faux-European setting one would associate more with Bee Train than Sunrise didn't clue you in, then the fact that half the series takes place in Nafrece would let you know all you need to know. This show, like Bee Train's "Girl With Guns" trilogy, is written by none other than Kuroda Yousuke, although with a lot less angst (think somewhere in between Valkyrie Drive and Madlax).
And wouldn't you know it, o…

If there’s anything that can make golf enjoyable, it’s anime. Cute girls, over the top golfing scenes and great character interactions make Birdie Wing a fun watch for even the biggest of golf haters.
Admittedly, coming into this season when I saw the promo art for Birdie Wing, I was not sold on it. Yea there were cute girls and some nice art, but who the hell wants to watch golf, right? Boy was I wrong. Like 99 percent of seasonals, I tuned into Birdie Wing and from the very first episode I knew we had something special brewing here. The epic and tense golfing matches, the drama, the stakes, the waifus, etc. It was all just everything you need in a sports anime. I instantly fell in love with Eve as an MC and she quickly became one of my picks for waifu of the YEAR, not just season. She a…

A golf show? About the story of complete opposite spectrums of stories of golf girls? Not to mention that the strokes will result in birdies and soaring on wings like eagles? Hell yeah, sign me up because I'm about to experience some wack-shit plot that doesn't take itself seriously, yet is self-aware enough to try to be at the very least fun! Okay okay, in all honesty, Birdie Wing: Golf Girls' Story is a fine lil' show that is a fairly niche original show that does have a fair few surprise elements if you actually take the time to appreciate what it's trying to exhibit in its entirety.
The way that Birdie Wing tells its unorthodox-yet-unequivocal story of golf girls is IMO, nothing short of decent, but thanks to veteran scriptwriter and series composer Yousuke Kuroda, has some ingenious…
