When season 1 initially came out, I actually dropped the show after just a single episode, because I wasn’t particularly impressed by the animation, premise or characters, nor was I into golf. But after I decided to give it another shot, none of those things mattered anymore. I was left in awe with a big smile on my face after Eve’s final shot against Aoi in the second episode while the main theme was playing, and just like Ichina, I was enthralled by Eve’s golf. This was the moment that hooked me, and season 1 went on to become my favorite anime of 2022.
Then season
...
2 came along, and while I had high expectations, I didn’t think it could manage to reach the same heights as season 1 did for me.
I was very wrong.
The new season starts right where it ended off last year and immediately gave us an amazing match in the first episode. From this point onward, it just keeps throwing new twists and turns at us at a fast, but surprisingly digestible pace. It never felt like they were going too fast or taking it too slow. All I could think about however was how much I was enjoying watching this show. I genuinely don’t remember the last time I had this much fun consuming any type of media. I find it hard to put it into words exactly, but something about this show just has this magical ability to keep you invested at all times, giving you goosebumps along the way, combined with some of the most cathartic, satisfying yet simple moments anime has to offer. It does not matter if you’re not into golf, nor does it matter if you’re not into sports in general. Birdie Wing season 2 will always manage to find new ways to keep the audience engaged and at the edge of their seats. At this, it absolutely excels, going above and beyond what season 1 managed to do.
I am going to spare you the details of my opinions about the common buzzwords such as story and animation that most reviewers talk about. I feel like they would do a much better job than me at talking about those topics. But if you have watched season 1 and enjoyed it, or if you’re completely new to Birdie Wing and are just looking for something new to watch, I highly urge you to try out the second and first season respectively. This really is just something that is best experienced firsthand.
