#onwards to spring!! WLW GOLF ANIME MY BELOVED WELCOME HOME

last batch of parting thoughts for winter 2023

high card: fun concept and stellar final episode, but the bulk of the season was a bit of a slog for me personally. it wasn’t bad per se but the team dynamics often didn’t appeal to me and sometimes felt a bit forced/over-manufactured. didn’t help that the focus was mainly on chris and finn throughout the first season and i just... did not... really care too much about them, like i didn’t dislike them but ehhhhhh. the last ep was definitely interesting enough to get s2 on my planning though, WHAT IS UP WITH TILT I WANT TO KNOW HIS STORY HE WAS BARELY IN THE FIRST SEASON BUT HE GOT AN OMANJUU WITH THE MAIN CREW LOL

tvdint s2: EAGERLY AWAITING S3 just like s1 there were some bits that were misses for me but i’d say it’s like an 85% hit 15% miss ratio, which is fantastic for a comedy. the final kotatsu games bit of this season was so so so good, though i think the one that made me laugh the hardest this season was the getting stuck in that fake train station bit (also really enjoyed the misadventures of “tsujita” and his himbo boyfriend that one hunter)

cool doji danshi: well i think it’s obvious how i feel about this one lmao i loved it thoroughly and want it to never end (haven’t actually watched the last ep yet but it’ll be over far too soon!)

this one just feels so special because there are plenty of soothing cbdct series with a similar vibe but typically those are high schoolers (kimi to boku, tanaka-kun, gakuen babysitters, tsuritama to a certain extent) and i enjoy all those (especially kimi to boku) but it’s nice to see a friend group like the cool doji boys, who come from different walks and stages of life

anyway to fill the cool doji void, kimi to boku and rokuhoudou yotsuiro biyori are my top recs for similarly soothing shows (special emphasis on rokuhoudou because it’s the rare cbdct series with a cast of grown men and definitely deserves more love)
