How would the DVHS boys react to their hair growing ridiculously long in their sleep?

Been a long time since we've had DVHS asks!

Fumito Abe:

…

He hated that he had to deal with it.

He didn’t like having his hair that long and unkempt.

Nozomu Aoyama:

Nobody would believe him if he told them.

Especially not if he told his followers.

It would make a really crazy story, though.

Hidekazu Fujimoto:

He would stay in his room until he was able to fix it.

Maybe Hamasaki would help him with that?

He didn’t want anyone else to find out.

Kazuhiko Ikeda:

He almost didn’t notice, since his hair was already long.

When he did, he just decided to cut it quickly.

He already cut his own hair, anyway.

Yasu Kadoshima:

Kind of a look, but not his style.

He would ask Rikimaru for help cutting it after.

It was weird that the dye in his hair didn’t grow out with his length, though.

Hayao Maeda:

No way was he stepping out of his room like that.

He looked ridiculous!

And Yoshida would for sure hold that over him.

Takeshi Matsumoto:

He liked it, but it would get too in the way of his work.

He didn’t even want to think about how that happened.

There had to be some kind of magic or something at play.

Ikuo Nakamura:

Honestly? He kind of liked it.

Or at least, a bit shorter.

He’d been meaning to try long hair sometime, anyway.

Do you have the trial room layout? I assume Camila has the protagonist spot. This Monokuma seems…more chill, somehow. “Plus, the podiums are bolted into the ground. It'd be a pain to move them any time one of you twerps kicked it." Aww, no Scrum Debate? Perhaps the weapon was a wall? Or the door! Which is why it was closed. Oshiro being ominous. (If she’s the Chapter 3 killer though…) I would pay to see a fist fight between Aoyama and Yoshida. They would both fight dirty. Did Abe, too, listen to Kyoko’s explanation about locked rooms? I know Fusion said V3 ties into this somehow… The culprit could probably easily have taken a bobby pin out from someone’s hair. Or pocket. *clapping emojis* girlf…riends… Are they trying to break the kids out? Is that…the mastermind? …no, I don’t think so. Is it Abe / the traitor? Is it the same people that hijacked the intercom? (I am so set on Abe being the traitor, huh? I blame Iris.) …Why Matsumoto, though? Especially considering he’s stronger than she is. Also! I read some little bits of the BTHB (the non spoilery ones), and my conclusion is that I now ship Ikeda and Saito, and I want more Camila and Abe friendship. (This was not from the BTHB, I just think it.)

Why "Birdie Wing: Golf Girls' Story" Is a Must-See Anime

Eve is an underground golfer who competes to support street orphans, using her skills to destroy the spirits of her opponents. One day she meets her match, a Japanese girl who is just as skilled as her... and the match is on!

Reprinted from The Geekiary, my History Hermann WordPress blog, and Wayback Machine. This was the thirty-seventh article I wrote for The Geekiary. This post was originally published on May 14, 2022.

Birdie Wing: Golf Girls' Story is sports anime directed by Takayuki Inagaki. It centers on Eve, a girl who golfs illegally to raise money for three orphans, in a European county, Nafres, and the rich Japanese girl who matches her skill and determination to a tee.

As a warning, this recommendation discusses spoilers for the first six episodes of Birdie Wing: Golf Girls' Story.

Eve and her friend Lily outside of their residence in the slums

Birdie Wing: Golf Girls' Story is much more than a common sports anime story. The latter is very popular. Some consider it an "outstanding" subgenre within shonen. Fans cheer for specific teams and become entranced in the plays of their favorite characters.

Eve (voiced by Kito Akari) is a scrappy, spunky teenager. She often works alongside her friend and caddy, Lily Lipmann (voiced by Akira Sekine). Eve uses her masterful golf skills to earn money through underground golf games. She strives to ensure that she, Lily, Klein Clara (voiced by Kinoshita Sayaka), Lily's sister, and Klein's three adopted children can continue living in their hovel in the slums.

This all changes when she meets Aoi Tenwa (voiced by Asami Seto). Aoi is a Japanese girl who likes playing golf for pleasure rather than for money. She is immediately impressed by Eve's golf drives and challenges her to a game. Their talents collide. Eve, nicknamed the "Rainbow Bullet", uses her skills to face off against Aoi, learning the pleasure behind golf itself.

Mafia bosses Catherine, Rose Alleon, and Nicholas, have dynamic personalities. The same is the case for Aoi's caddy and adviser, Amane Shoijo and Rose's right-hand woman, Anri. Aoi's mother, and CEO of Tenwashi Group, has a strong personality as well. The famous underground golfer, Vipère, also known as the "Grim Reaper", and junior golf champion Helene Robert leave a lasting impression.

The series also features characters such as Eve's former golf "master", Leo Millafoden, wanna-be professional caddy at Raijin Girls' Academy, Ichina Saotome, Raijin Girls' Academy adviser Reiya Amuro, and hard-working golfer at Raijin Girls' Academy, Kinue Jinguji. Skilled voice actors such as Shuichi Ikeda, Saki Fujita, Toru Furuya, and Nakahara Mai voiced these characters.

Also appearing in the series is golf ace Mizuho Himekawa, a golfer who works with Mizuho at Nadanan Sports Girls' Academy, Kaede Oikawa, a high-ranked golfer at Kaoran Girls' High School, Kaoruko Iijima, Kaoruko's golfing pair, Kuyou Iseshiba, a skilled golfer at Raijin Girls' Academy, Haruka Misono, an injured golfer named Chris Christie and Aoi's father, Kazuhiko Hodaka. Yukari Tamura, Yuu Kobayashi, M ・ A ・ O, Satomi Arai, and Kiyoko Yonekura voice these characters.

The series theme song, composed and written by Kohmi Hirose, and arranged by Suketo Makusu, is full of energy. It makes you excited about watching each episode. Hirose, on the show's official website, said that she arranged the song with "raw strings" and that she sang it with all her heart, hoping to give "more momentum" to the series.

Unlike other anime, diversity is central to Birdie Wing: Golf Girls' Story. In fact, a scene in the theme song hints that a Black female golfer, whose character has not been introduced yet, will appear in a future episode.

That is unique because anime and Black characters have a "sketchy past". Even with some amazing Black characters in the past, Black characters are "a little under-represented" in anime.

Although their names and voices are not yet known, Klein reveals, in the show's sixth episode, that her three adopted children, orphans who she took in, will be deported if she, Lily, and Eve are evicted from their home. The complexions of these cute orphans are shades of light to darker brown, implying they could be from countries in Asia, Africa, and elsewhere.

Even though the orphans seem to bond more with Lily, than with Eve, they don't ignore Eve. In fact, in one episode, Eve misses her match with Aoi, due to a late-night match with Vipère (voiced by Kaori Nazuka), a golfer contracted by Mafia boss Nicholas.

The orphans approach her in a childlike way, getting her out of her funk and pushing her to not wallow in her sorrow. This leads her to begin a virtual reality golf game later in the episode.

At the end of the fifth episode, and a major plot point in the sixth episode, is the issue of "urban renewal" and corrupt politicians. The former indicates racial injustices which are part and parcel of the system.

The neighborhood where Eve and her friends live is hinted to be a "dangerous" place, with shootings, corruption, and a presumed thriving black market. Even so, this is portrayed as a cold, hard reality, as part of a system imposed upon them.

There is more than political bribes, assassinations, and a Mafia-backed "redevelopment" plan in Birdie Wing: Golf Girls' Story. This show's off-the-wall logic and over-the-top melodrama come to the fore with the scheduled demolition of Eve's home. It is the opening salvo of gentrification, necessitating evictions and the destruction of residences. In their place will be a casino and the "necessary" accouterments.

There is debate on whether gentrification is a "process of change" creating conflict between new arrivals to a neighborhood and long-time residents or a process in which an influx of middle-class or wealthy people stream into a poor area of a city, rebuilding and renovating businesses and houses, often displacing the poorer residents. In any case, if the development plan is successful, the slum will be turned, over time, into an "upper-middle-class playground".

Although some episodes of City of Ghosts, an all-aged animated series, talk about gentrification in San Francisco, this anime is different. It smacks you in the face with its focus on inequality, immigration, deportation, and political corruption. This anime makes clear that some, like Mafia bosses, will do anything to get what they want, rigging and manipulating the political system for their benefit.

With Birdie Wing: Golf Girls' Story, you can't ignore, look away, or push off these themes as something that only exists in a fantasy world. They are something that the characters have to confront. After all, Eve's determination to face Aoi in another match resulted in Catherine (voiced by Umeka Shoji) using underhanded methods to get her into the U15 Women's World Championship.

This led Eve to unknowingly trigger the Mafia-backed slum redevelopment plan. The area, including the hovel where she, Lily, Klein, and Klein's three adopted children, is being demolished, along with other illegal shops, as part of a racially tinged "urban renewal" plan.

This makes her feel guilty and furious with herself, and with Rose (voiced by Toa Yukinari). After training with Vipère, who has become her friend-of-sorts, she sides against Catherine and Rose. She plays on behalf of another Mafia boss, Nicholas, and against Rose, her former mentor.

Future episodes of the series, with a possible 12-episode order, will shine a light on this subject. It is a topic that I've never seen any other anime focus on. It is something that Western animation would shy away from, wanting to be "kid-friendly" and appeal to network executives.

Aoi and Eve together in a virtual reality golf game both in costumes

The official site of Birdie Wing: Golf Girls' Story declaresthat this is the "first original anime series" which focuses on women's golf. Whether that is the case or not, girls' love, i.e. yuri, is a central component in the story. In fact, Briana Lawrence's article for The Mary Sue, entitled "There’s No Heterosexual Explanation for the Golf Girl Anime" inspired me to start watching this series in the first place!

Whether or not Eve or Aoi are a canon romantic couple, there are clear yuri vibes. This manifests itself in their interactions with one another. Both are excited to face each other in golf games and care about each other on some level.

From the get-go, Aoi is impressed with Eve's golf style, after she sees Helene (voiced by Minami Takahashi) walk away in defeat, complete with "Blue Bullet[s]" and other magical girl-esque golf drives. Eve is amazed at Aoi's developed golf skills. All the while, Amane (voiced by Ami Koshimizu) repeatedly fails in attempts to make Aoi "forget" Eve.

Aoi's mother (voiced by Yuko Kaida) even investigates Eve after Aoi gushes about her when returning to Japan. After it is clear that "Eve Aleon", her "official" name during the U15 Women's World Championship, is not real, she determines her to not be a threat.

She declares that since Eve is an underground golfer with ties to the Mafia, working for a crime syndicate obsessed with golf, she is not a "threat". While this going on, Eve, dressed as a catgirl, meets Aoi in a virtual reality golf game frequented by Japanese players. After Eve apologizes for missing an early morning golf game with Aoi, both play a round of virtual golf together.

Steve Jones, writing for Anime News Network, states that like any other sports anime, the rivalry Eve and Aoi have is romantic, as much as "anything else". This would be the case even if the series implies they are half-sisters like Cassandra and Rapunzel in Tangled.

Jones argued, in another review, that Eve dismisses Vipére's flirtation, declaring that Aoi's name is "already inscribed in her heart". He rightly described this as an example of a "real disaster lesbian hours". He adds that even if these romantic tropes are only a device to add more layers to the story, it "doesn't make it any less gay." I can't agree more!

The series has been received positively by fans on Twitter and elsewhere. Some have shipped Eve and Vipére, noted beautiful female characters, and said the show is amazing, and a masterpiece.

The Eve and Vipére ship has some basis in the show. Both train together for the upcoming match between Eve and her former mentor, Rose. The game, taking place in the next scheduled episode, will decide the fate of her home at a special golf course owned and operated by Catherine, a shrewd Mafia boss.

Birdie Wing: Golf Girls' Story is more than "golf yuri" as Jones describes it. Rather the series is energetic, gleefully weird, and almost makes golf something that is cool and fun to watch, even if the sport itself is boring (in my opinion).

Accounts focusing on yuri anime news and anime fans have flocked to the show. Some have stated that the show has a lot of "girl bosses" and is "lesbians playing golf with mafia and explosions". Others love Eve as a character and declared that the anime is full of "hot ladies."

The three yet-to-be-named orphans of Klein are immigrants and will be deported if they are evicted from their home in the slums

You could recognize, as Jones did, that the series takes place in the Madlax cinematic universe. This could imply that the fan servicey yuri drama, Valkyrie Drive: Mermaid, and this series, are in the same universe. He argues that the writing of Yousuke Koruda has a lot to the ridiculousness of this anime, making it feel, as Jones put it "so special and stupefying."

All in all, there is no doubt that this anime is much more mature than Western animations, like The Owl House or The Ghost and Molly McGee. It has explosions, death, violence, blood, and all the rest, almost akin to Helluva Boss at some points. Even so, the orphans add a degree of cuteness to the series making you invested in the characters.

In fact, in the sixth episode of Birdie Wing: Golf Girls' Story, Eve revealed that she has no memories of her past beyond a few years ago. She tells Vipére that she had some sort of special golf abilities, implying that she is a golf supersoldier. This could be hinting that she is a long-forgotten half-sister of Aoi. In any case, human experimentation will likely be a future theme.

Episodes in the rest of this season, and a possible second season, may tackle Eve's often-overconfidence, determination to do anything to beat her friends, and reckless golf playing. Such passionate playing got her involved in some shady dealings. It also resulted in her becoming a walking advertisement for certain products, as she was at the U15 Women's World Championship.

There may be more rigged games too. After all, during the golf tournament, Anri (voiced by Omikawa Chiaki), at the direction of Rose, pointed a laser in Aoi's eye so she would miss the shot. In another episode, Vipère used a poisonous scent to throw Eve off her game. It remains to be seen if Eve escapes the web of Mafia control.

I'm not a big sports person myself and dislike the whole sports culture. Previous sports anime I've watched, like Kandagawa Jet Girls and Tamayomi, were only mildly interesting. Birdie Wing: Golf Girls' Story is different. I liked it a lot better than I thought I would.

Eve might travel to Japan, meet Aoi, and challenge her to a game. She might continue underground golf games and intense training with Vipére. Her shady, underground dealings may pull in her friends. Again, golf matches will continue to "solve" disputes. Although Eve has put Aoi in the back of her mind as she fights to save her home, they will cross paths again in the future.

Those who work on this series are a talented bunch. The show's director, Takayuki Inagaki, worked on Rosario + Vampire and Chio's School Road. Kuroda, the show's writer, wrote for Valkyrie Drive: Mermaid, Mobile Suit Gundam 00, and My Hero Academia. A professional golf coach named Toru Inoue and the Global Golf Media Group worked with the show's staff to make sure it accurately portrays golf games.

If Birdie Wing: Golf Girls' Story ever gets a dub, Black voice actors may voice some of the orphans and the Black female golfer. This would add to the growing roster of Black voice actors for anime dubs.

The series is currently streaming on Crunchyroll. The next episode, entitled "Aoi-colored Bullet", will air on May 17.

Go watch this anime!

I know Fusion decided to do Bandori (DVHS edition) a while back, so could we have a followup? PJSK: DVHS! Four-person units plus a Vocaloid for each, featuring "you shouldn't technically be here" this time. - II

...I definitely didn't spend twenty minutes looking for this post

Dawn to Dusk:

Oshiro (leader), Matsumoto, Ikeda, and Saito

They focus a lot on composition more than anything else, and a lot of their music is said to be best played at night. That’s usually when they have the most time to work on it, too. They don’t really fit in any one genre, though, dipping their toes into everything.

Rin and Len would be their Vocaloids since I think it’d be a funny contrast between them arguing and Oshiro and Saito arguing.

Worldwide:

Ishikawa (leader), Nakamura, Yoshida, and Maeda

This group would probably focus on multilingual songs of all kinds, blending together different styles. Ishikawa of course knows lots of languages, Nakamura knows a bit of other languages, Yoshida’s just fun, and Maeda knows Russian!

Luka is their Vocaloid, since she’s known for being bilingual. I also think she would contribute to their chaos nicely.

Blossoming:

Hamasaki (leader), Fujimoto, Yasu, and Sasaki

They’re kind of like a traditional band like Leo/need, though a lot of their music is more calming. Fujimoto’s great with writing meaningful lyrics, though he doesn’t actually play with the rest of them. Hamasaki plays guitar, Yasu’s on percussion, and Sasaki’s on keyboard. All three of them trade off vocals.

Meiko is their Vocaloid, I think mostly because I associate these four with being more mature/older sibling-figures, kind of like how I think about Meiko.

On Your Feet:

Ueda (leader), Rikimaru, Abe, and Aoyama

They’re slightly more pop-focused, kind of in the realm of dance music. It’s surprising that Abe and Aoyama are part of the group in that regard, but the four of them work incredibly well together (barring some small bickering here and there). 

Kaito is their Vocaloid, and I think he’d cycle between being a sort of mediator and contributing to their excellent vibes, haha.

Bonus round! How would the DVHS blackeneds react to being out through their victim’s execution?

heck yeah!! executions courtesy of @nozomuaoyama back in the day :)

dvhs spoilers, obvi <3

Kirika Rikimaru:

All that wood was nothing like how she imagined herself dying.

She really, really regretted everything.

That was just the proverbial nail in the coffin.

Hayao Maeda:

It was too cold in the ice rink, even with the fire.

He hated it all.

But the outside might’ve been even worse.

Kazuhiko Ikeda:

Of course he had the combination of the two musicians.

There were so many chains, so many sounds…

It was overwhelming at the best of it.

Kagami Saito:

Nothing about the execution felt right- though would it if it were her own?

She was still partially out of it from the trial.

The water and the stars…she hated it all.

Hanayo Sasaki:

Knowing that she was going through Yasu’s would-be execution made it all the more excruciating.

She was there of her own accord, and she knew it.

Laying there with the knife in her back, something felt almost deserved.

[mythgirlimagines]

If the DVHS cast were YouTubers, what kind of channels would they have?

I haven't really thought of this before! Makes me want to write something for this, though

Abe Fumito: Homework help/short video essays on historical topics, sometimes collabs with Ishikawa

Aoyama Nozomu: Clickbait-y content, but his channel is still insanely popular

Fujimoto Hidekazu: Doesn't make any content himself but is often in Hamasaki's videos

Hamasaki Utako: Music covers and guitar tutorials

Ikeda Kazuhiko: ASMR

Ishikawa Camila: Language learning videos and travel recaps, sometimes collabs with Nakamura and Abe

Kadoshima Yasu: Video diaries, some let's plays

Maeda Hayao: Prank videos, track videos, exercise how-tos, challenges, sometimes collabs with Ueda and Yoshida

Matsumoto Takeshi: Woodwork videos

Nakamura Ikuo: Classic influencer content, including popular challenges and makeup tutorials

Oshiro Amaya: Astrology and tarot content, collabs with the rest of the class sometimes

Rikimaru Kirika: Get ready with me and storytime content mostly, hair tutorials, sometimes collabs with Nakamura

Saito Kagami: Art videos (posted under a screen name, doesn't show her face)

Sasaki Hanayo: Some video diaries, JSL learning videos, gardening how-tos, sometimes collabs with Yasu

Ueda Miyuki: Figure skating videos and vlogs, exercise and skill how-tos, sometimes collabs with Maeda

Yoshida Etsuko: Anything she wants, but especially videos of her and the Chaos Squad goofing off and of her at skate parks

[mythgirlimagines]

How would the characters alive for DVHS chapter 3 react to someone offering to cook them rats? (Also, who would be the one offering?) don't ask me why i thought of this

I have a limit of 8 characters so I used these eight ^_^ Monokuma would definitely offer lol

Slight spoilers!

Hidekazu Fujimoto:

Well, it kind of worked.

By getting rid of the rest of his appetite.

Maybe he’d be able to hold on longer, then?

Utako Hamasaki:

She was shocked that anyone would ever offer that.

Even if it were a good deal, there had to be a catch.

It was no deal at all.

Kazuhiko Ikeda:

Yeah, right. That was such a great offer.

No, there was going to be something else to get them out of the motive.

He was sure of it.

Yasu Kadoshima:

The mere thought of it was disgusting.

She would never eat a rat!

It made her sick to her stomach.

Amaya Oshiro:

For just one second, she considered it.

But only because she was really, really hungry!

She actually loved rats as animals, she didn’t want to eat them.

Kagami Saito:

In response, she merely glared.

That would never come to fruition.

The motive would end soon enough.

Hanayo Sasaki:

Absolutely not!

Just thinking about it made her angry.

She would still try to find some other way to help.

Etsuko Yoshida:

Yeah, that was definitely some kind of joke.

She wasn’t that desperate yet.

She was pretty sure there weren’t even rats in the school.
