  • It was the best episode from the drama perspective.
  • Incidentally, 'tonbo' means 'dragonfly'. The scene of flying dragonflies rhymed with Kuta-san's line.
  • The shadow effect in the sunset was not realistic. But it's ok for the cheap art style of the show.
  • Though some details were detracted from the source material, the direction was smooth.

Kuta's reason for Tonbo's golf not being suitable for the competitive world, he has a course that can testify to his word.

A test course that tests the putting skills of the golfer, Igarashi is relegated to mowing the green, to his rather specific standards of spick-and-span maintenance, and that adds to the complexity of the putting skills. Everything from the course nature to the golfer, Kuta has made it into a way to perfect the challenge.

Still, Tonbo is as ever unpredictable as she can come, and Kuta only gets more surprised at her abilities. This being her gateway to the outside world, while Kuta came from there, Tonbo is quite the opposite to venture to new heights. Coming back to Hino Island from Akureki Island, and Tonbo with her clubs, is ready to go out and experience the world.

For now, its resting on Hino Island, for the prep.

Man I'm loving this series... Although the cgi sometimes is wacky, like what in the world is that 180+ degree break lmfao

@Mystyc_Cheez The combination of mid-level 2D and 3D animation gives the anime a 2015 style, which suits its chill ambiance. I kind of like it."

She finally has a putter! She's ready for some competitive golf.

I hope this show isn't about to end, because I feel like I could watch a hundred more episodes of Tonbo's golf journey. The dramatic moments hit so well every time.
If it does end, I may end up having to struggle my way through the Japanese of the original manga.

going to new places and trying different things is usually a lot of fun

she collected her 4th badge... i mean club lol
i like how the others are always surprised by what she does

well, it's decided, she will leave the island after finishing this school year

episode 11, usually next would be the last episode, but for this we still have no idea how many episodes, let's hope there's at least 24 then :D
favorite "new girls" from summer <3 ... click sig for older seasons and more possible picks (rip all the other choices)

I can't believe at 11 episodes in that they still don't have the episode count for this series posted on its webpage. It's one thing before a series airs or right toward the beginning, but at this late in the game? You'd think it'd be known and updated by now.

Amazing character growth, you love to see it! Looks like we're getting a 1 year time skip to where Tonbo is ready to leave the island for high school, and a new adventurer. I'm curious if Tonbo will commute to school everyday which seems to take up a lot of time or moving to the city all together.

She's a damn monster, making her comparable to Eve and Aoi from Birdie Wing. And you need to remember that Tonbo hasn't trained as hard as Eve or Aoi so she could even be deadlier when she put everything into golf.

I just can't wait her story when she's grown up, no RAW of the manga so far so I can't even take a peek.

One of the most underrated anime out there, sadly the animation quality is suffering though.

When tonbo meeting new person and getting new skill/insight, she will also get a new golfstick
Maybe before the competition, she will meet atleast 12 or 14 person to complete her golfstick set

What's up with the subs for this episode on Prime? They're total garbage.
They read like they were either done by MTL or by someone who barely understands English.
Multiple times Tonbo gets referred to as he/him which is typical MTL stupidity.
But then there are lines like "But she's doesn't come down" which sounds like a non-English speaker making a grammatical mistake. MTL usually at least understands grammar.
Near the end, when Tonbo visits her parents' grave, "I'm glad, is it Uncle Gon or Aunt Setsu?" is just straight-up unintelligible.

Tonbo definitely grew up as a person with this travel, not to mention that she improved as golf too, but now it seems like she finally decided to leave the island...

Man, such a great journey, seeing her with four clubs makes me happy.
