Synopsis

Trying to move on in his life, former professional golfer Kazuyoshi Igarashi arrives at Hinoshima Island for a job at its development center. Expecting the island to be a very rural area with nothing much to offer, Kazuyoshi cannot hide his amazement when he discovers a complete golf course made by the island's inhabitants. Using the seaside terrain to their advantage, the people there have adopted golfing as their hobby.

To add to his surprise, Kazuyoshi meets a young girl named Tonbo Ooi, who has been playing golf using only a 3-iron—a notoriously difficult-to-use club. As the former pro gets more involved with Tonbo and witnesses her seemingly impossible shots, he begins to see golf in a whole new light, rediscovering how fun the sport can actually be.

The story is really great. Thoroughly enjoyable. It's refreshing to see a sports anime spend so much time in getting to the starting line, giving plenty of breathing space to get to know Tonbo and what makes her tick.

The animation,though weak in places, puts all its money into the golf shots, courses and aerials: which pays off massively.

I'm dyslexic so only watch dubs, so I can only give my opinion on that and have no idea if it's a stylistic choice carried over from the sub, but sometimes the voice acting seems very wooden. *However* it's easy to ignore and doesn't destroy the ...

This show made me want to play some golf. Something that other golf shows like Birdie Wing failed to do. And I think it mainly has to do with the fact that Tonbo's a show that's highly grounded in reality, focusing on character development while also not forgetting to apply actual concepts in golf to the show.

Tonbo! is more of a slice of life and coming of age show than a show about competitive golf when it comes to the first season. While golf is always on the horizon, a common theme in the show, and is what brings people together, you can tell that ...

Mixed Feelings
Tonbo! - Conventional meets unconventional to spark inspiration for fledglings. But is it enough to satiate the watch?

In every given season, there's always a few shows that stand out for their peculiarities, and that's especially true in the Spring 2024 season, where there's a chunk of variety for just about anyone. But one genre in particular that always gets mixed receptions is the sports genre. Sport-centric shows can be easy to tell their story and character growth for the fundamental long-term change, but their drama can also make or break the series in its direction. Enter mangaka Ken Kawasaki with Oi! Tonbo, a series that ...
