Birdie Wing: Golf Girls' Story Season 2 Spoiler-Filled Review [Part 2]

Continued from part 1

Although there, sadly, wasn't a kiss between Eve and Aoi, the series was filled with gay subtext. While some may call it yuri-bait, it is more charitable to describe it as yuri subtext. In any case, the show was a fun ride. It wrapped up far too quickly, with many time jumps. Despite this, the ending of the series makes clear that the game between Aoi and Eve continues forever. There is the implication that they won't be apart and may even play again.

The ending could have been stronger, but I don't detest it. There is enough space and possible storyline, especially during the two aforementioned time skips, that a third season or even an OVA could expand upon. Such a season, or OVA, could focus on Eve and Aoi, or the growing closeness between the two caddies, Amane and Ichina, shown in the final episode. There is fan support for another season, or OVA. It remains to be seen if executives think the same.

There are other praiseworthy elements of Birdie Wing. The music complements the action. It accompanies the strong, flowing animation. The two highly skilled series composers, Kōtarō Nakagawa and Hironori Anazawa, make the series that much better. The former composed music for Gosick and Chivalry of a Failed Knight, while the latter did music for Scarlet Nexus.

Birdie Wing is nothing like any currently airing series produced by Bandai Namco Pictures, or those by Sunrise. Such series are supernatural action, mecha, or military science fiction. Bandai Namco Pictures is known for Gintama, Brave Beats, and Aikatsu!. Another division of the same company, Sunrise (also called Bandai Namco Filmworks Inc.), is recognized for other series. This includes Mobile Suit Gundam: The Witch from Mercury, Love Live! Superstar!!, Love Live! Sunshine!!, Love Live! School Idol Project, Love Live! Nijigasaki High School Idol Club, Tiger & Bunny, Dirty Pair, and Cowboy Bebop.

The series director, Takayuki Inagaki, worked on Fuuka, KanColle, Kokoro Library, Princess Tutu, and R.O.D. the TV. Yōsuke Kuroda, main writer for Birdie Wing, worked on Kokoro Library as well. He served as a head writer for Valkyrie Drive: Mermaid and Madlax.

The voice cast are just as seasoned and have often voiced queer characters. Akari Kito, who voices Eve, voiced magical girl Momo Chiyoda in The Demon Girl Next Door, Kanata Konoe in Love Live! Nijigasaki High School Idol Club, Touko Usagihara in Akebi's Sailor Uniform, and Sakura Adachi in Adachi and Shimamura. Asami Seto, voice of Aoi, previously voiced Yoshino Takatsuki in Wandering Son, Charlotte Scherzen in Valkyrie Drive: Mermaid, Fena Houtman in Fena: Pirate Princess, and Nene Saionji in Yuri Is My Job!

Seto is scheduled to voice Yori Asanagi in Whisper Me a Love Song in January 2024. M.A.O. (voice of Kaoruko Iijima) will voice Kohaku in Yohane the Parhelion: Sunshine in the Mirror. The latter is a Love Live! Sunshine!! spinoff which recently premiered on Crunchyroll. The voice actor of Amane (Ami Koshimizu) voiced Yang Xiao Long in RWBY: Ice Queendom, Elda in Otaku Elf, Maria in Management of a Novice Alchemist, and Sailor Jupiter in Sailor Moon Crystal. All these characters are directly or indirectly queer.

Akira Sekine, voice of Lily, previously voiced Sora/Cure Sky in Soaring Sky! Pretty Cure and Princess Charlotte in Princess Principal. Saki Fujita, who voices Ichina, previously lent her voice to school president Mitsuki Sonoda in Sakura Trick. Sonoda had a huge crush on Haruka Takayama. Other voice actors are known for their roles in Maria Watches Over Us, Yurikuma Arashi, D4DJ, Akebi's Sailor Uniform, YuruYuri, Strawberry Panic!, and Sweet Blue Flowers.

Birdie Wing will likely not be continued. Similar themes were likely added to the video game associated with the series. The connection to Madlax, since it is in the same universe, will remain a topic of ongoing fan speculation. I will always remember this anime fondly. It may be some time before another anime can shoot me right through, as Eve says to her opponents, like this one.

All 25 episodes of Birdie Wing: Golf Girls' Story can be streamed on Crunchyroll. The second season can also be purchased on Prime Video or on the Microsoft Store.

Hokkaido Rensa Satsujin: Ohotsuku ni Kiyu – Tsuioku no Ryuuhyou / Namida no Nipopo Ningyou launches September 12 in Japan

From Gematsu

Hokkaido Rensa Satsujin: Ohotsuku ni Kiyu – Tsuioku no Ryuuhyou / Namida no Nipopo Ningyou will launch for Switch and PC via Steam on September 12 in Japan, developer G-MODE Corporation announced. It will support English, Japanese, Traditional Chinese, and Simplified Chinese language options. The Switch physical edition will cost 8,800 yen.

Here is an overview of the game, via G-MODE Corporation:

About

Hokkaido Rensa Satsujin: Ohotsuku ni Kiyu is a detective adventure game released for PC by LOGiN SOFT in 1984, then for Famicom in 1987. It is considered to be the third game in the “Yuji Horii Mystery Trilogy” following The Portopia Serial Murder Case and Karuizawa Yuukai Annai. A game never fully remade in the past, as well as one that regularly appears on lists of “most wanted adventure game remakes,” this is a faithful remake of the Famicom version upgraded for the modern era.

Story

When the Nipopo doll cries, another dead body appears… One morning, the corpse of a man appears in the waters of Tokyo Bay. The unidentifiable body is of a man estimated around 40 years old. The incident then moves to Hokkaido. To Kushiro, Abashiri, Shiretoko, Monbetsu… The second and third incidents are a chain of murders centered in eastern Hokkaido.

Sound: Satoshi Kadokura (Southern All Stars and more, Mobile Suit Gundam F91 and more, Metal Max series, Tenkuu no Restaurant, etc.)

Includes A Brand-New Story Supervised by Yuji Horii

Following the events of the Ohotsuku incident in 1987 (when the Famicom version is set), comes an all-new story set in 2024 and supervised by Yuji Horii. Unravel the mysteries of the Ohotsuku murders!

Fully-Voiced Story

Voice-overs by Asami Seto, Hiroki Gotou, Lynn, Shoko Nakagawa, Fairouz Ai, Kyouko Hikami, Yuuko Miyamura, and more.

Theme Song Sung by Shoko Nakagawa

The theme song “Ryuuhyou ni Kiyu Kirari” is written by Yuji Horii, composed by Hyadain, and sung by Shoko Nakagawa. This is also the first time Yuji Horii has written lyrics for a theme song.

Original Game Included with Physical Edition

The physical edition is a multi-application-supported cartridge, which includes both the remake and the original Hokkaido Rensa Satsujin: Ohotsuku ni Kiyu.

First-Print Bonus

First-print copies of the game will feature an art book in the style of the legendary PC magazine LOGiN, through which Hokkaido Rensa Satsujin: Ohotsuku ni Kiyu was born, including design documents you can only see in the book, new articles by legendary writers, a comment from Yuji Horii, a new BASIC’N story comic, and Hokkaido Rensa Satsujin: Ohotsuku ni Kiyu-related articles.

mikakodayo:  Sera Myu🌙 Last night, Nakagawa Shoko, who I’ve loved since I was in middle school, came to see Sera Myu! The fact that she was able to come... and wrote such nice things... my heart is screaming...! Thank you so much! After the show when I was still wrapped up in excitement, we took a picture doing Sailor Moon & Pluto poses! stm_o_:  My Reconquista co-stars, Mayu, who played Kunzite, and Koro, who played Nephrite, came to see the show!!!✨✨ Pandemic 3( ✌︎'ω')✌︎ It still is kind of rare, that Sera Myu co-stars are able to come see the show... it feels like having your parents come on parents day! lol That’s how much I love this family🌟 stm_o_:  We have two shows today! I’m receiving all of the presents and letters from you guys♪ Thank you so much for your love-filled gifts🎁💓 They’re all my treasures🌟 stm_o_:  The day is almost over, but apparently today, 9/14, is “Cosmos Day.”🌸 The meaning of the cosmos flower is different depending on the color, but mainly it means “a maiden’s devotion,” “harmony,” and “modesty.” White cosmos symbolize “purity, elegance, beauty.” Black cosmos symbolize “unwavering feelings.” There are are lots of different meanings. They all are very fitting for Sailor Cosmos. Today I really strongly wanted to become like Cosmos. 🌟 The picture is with my precious princess. Airi.💓 cocobell0105:   Because we’re friends off stage, I ended up smiling 👿🔥 I’m becoming too soft. cocobell0105:  This face is too soft too. 👿🔥 Nyanko is super cute and super funny, she hits all of Galaxia’s weak spots... jurijuri_pon:  My precious partner Seiren and I will be waiting for you at tonight’s 6pm show⭐ jurijuri_pon:  In the AiiA Theater Lobby with Shuu👀 mikamikamika417: Thank you very much for coming to today’s two shows!🌙✨ During the mini live show I saw people with both orange and purple penlights and others with orange lights held high, it made me very happy😊🌟 The photo is with Michiru~!  [TN: There was previous discussion on Mikako’s twitter about what color light people should use for Pluto. It seems by process of elimination the only color left on the official penlight was orange?? So she said she would look for orange or purple/burgundy.] 

mirai0913_as:  Thank you for coming to the 7th day of shows 🌙💞🙇 The other day the former Saturn, Karin, came to see the show😊 I was super nervous, but when I saw her she said “You got to do a lot, it was cool!” and that made me really happy.😢 When we took a photo, I was so happy that I started crying😭 I’ll take the baton with great responsibility!💜

A dirigere il progetto troviamo Takayuki Inagaki (Chio’s School Road, NouCome), mentre la sceneggiatura è supervisionata da Yousuke Kuroda (My Hero Academia, 2.43: Seiin High School Boys Volleyball Team).

Le musiche sono composte da Kotaro Nakagawa (Code Geass) e Hironori Anazawa (Scarlet Nexus). La sigla testa della serie, invece, sarà ad opera di Kohmi Hirose, l’artista alla quale dobbiamo “Groovy!”, la prima storica sigla di coda di “Cardcaptor Sakura”.

Seiyuu Speak Out - KyoAni Arson

This is originally from r/anime This was crossposted to the seiyuu Reddit by u/Pyr1t3_Radio

The blast occurred at the No. 1 studio of Kyoto Animation in the western Japan city of Kyoto at around 10:30 a.m., company officials said.  Toll at time of termination of rescue efforts is 33 dead, 36 injured. There were 73 people in that building.

Ogura Yui's planned Line Live for tonight has been cancelled out of respect for the victims.

Tomorrow's Aikatsu! 5th Anniversary special programme (with Tomita Miyu) has also been cancelled.

Deep respect to Ao-chan for voicing out her honest opinion.

触れません。正直思う事沢山あります。でも誰かと共感して「悲しかったね」って終わりたくないんです。私の中で考えて、怒って、悲しんで、祈るべきことです。ここはそういう事を共有するべき場ではない。どんな人がどんな関係性で見ているか、わからないから。バカみたいに、楽しい事だけ、あえて。

I will not touch on this. Honestly, there are many things I want to say. But I don't want it to end with simply empathising with someone else's "how sad." This is something I must ponder upon, feel mad about, be saddened, and pray about on my own. This place isn't a platform for me to share those feelings. That's because I don't know what kind of relationships the people looking at this may have with the incident. I want to be like an idiot, sharing only fun things, intentionally.

It looks like it's because many people were asking her to address it and were semi-criticizing her for tweeting about having fun at Osaka when there's this whole fuss about KyoAni a few hours back (source).

She added later on here:

なおこれは、今呟いていらっしゃる方を否定する内容ではありません。私自身がわたしの中で気持ちの整理もつかないまま、公の場でコメントできないなって思ったんです。

Nevertheless, this does not mean that I am denying the people who are tweeting about it now. I merely felt that I should not be commenting on a public platform when I still have not properly collected my feelings myself.

__________________________________________________

Also to add on to the list, Kaji Yuki also tweeted a short message regarding the incident a few hours ago:

ただ、ただ、祈る。

I'll simply, simply pray (alt. I'll keep on, keep on praying)

I find this a little difficult to translate precisely, but I believe it conveys the meaning that though it may be out of our hands, and we cannot do more than "simply" praying, we must keep on doing so, if that's the only thing we can do.

He appeared on a live stream of a non-anime/seiyuu related program slightly before that, and his tweet from then seemed to be a little indicative of the incident as well:

自分にやれること、やるべきことを、精一杯やります。

The things I can, and must do, I’ll do them within the best of my abilities.

Rough translation of some other tweets as listed in this thread:

@Ayana_Take (Taketatsu Ayana)

I agree with Ao-chan that too many words on the internet may not be needed, but I hope that all the prayers will reach them #PrayForKyoani 🙏

Those are both well-written and thoughtful, and it would probably be for the best to read them on Reddit since I can’t transfer the whole translation and original here without the size and such being downgraded.
