Mixed Feelings
I just finished watching Dan Doh!! which is a 26-episode sports anime about golf. GOLF. Well...

The series is the typical prodigy story. A boy suddenly realizes he excels in the sport - so much that he is able to beat people who have been doing the same thing for a lot longer than he has. It helps that he has the backing of not one, but two, ex-golf pros. Oh yeah, did I mention that his father was also a secret amateur golfer who has unexpectedly (and still unexplainedly) quit the sport? Like we haven\'t seen that before.

Animation-wise, it was a bit old-fashioned for my taste and there was nothing that spectacular about it. Sound - it was all about the \"sonic booms\" of the drives and the \"clink\" of the ball when it goes into the cup. The only character development is ALL the characters, except for one, turns good from being bad the first time we see them. The whole series is just too... nice.

But Dan Doh!! is still enjoyable and entertaining in its own way. I would have liked to see more of what happened to Dan Doh, his friends, and if he ever went to bigger things in his golf game.
