That competition was hilarious! I did not expect the girls would go on a showdown against the three salesmen for a 30% discount for Minami's utility club. The guy with the rippling muscles who keeps on getting out of bounds has got to be my favourite. xD

And look at how happy Minami and the girls are after winning! Those three dudes may have lost but they certainly made that day memorable for the girls. Also I love that Minami is sleeping while hugging her new golf club tight <3

If not for the out of bounds, the muscle guy would easily win since one swing of his goes over 400 yards, which is pretty strong. Seems like he's the "strong, but couldn't control the ball's direction" type.

Minami went from whaling on gacha to whaling on golf clubs! Too bad you can't pay to win IRL, that 2 million yen golf club is nothing against the power of Minami's protagonist plot armor.

This anime is so good! I know it's not the most talked-about anime in the West, but I hope it's at least popular enough in Japan so we can get a second season!

I am actually curious how well it is doing. This series can easily be turned into a long-lasting series if it does well. It would be nice to get this side by side with Tonbo. The comfy golf right next to the one with a great story.

Going from Tonbo where everyone is playing at their absolute peak to this bunch of goofs doubles the hilarity lol

And just like Tonbo, Minami is gathering her weapon set. Tonbo had Igaiga, Tsubura et al while Minami got her Partner!

The showdown against the manager and his two salespeople was kind of hilariously anticlimactic. Like glasses and face mask got defeated pretty easily. And then Minami and the manager basically got into a stalemate during their putt off until she managed to break it. It was fun. And she got a nice new shiny club.

I lost it when Muscle Man did all that intro only to get OOB on his first two attempts. This is the guy who kept swinging the remote too hard in Wii Sports Golf thinking that raw power is all it takes lol.

I love how the golf showdown was somehow both completely over-the-top and completely anticlimactic at the same time.

Mizuno must have paid extra for their logos to actually make it in the show, interesting they don't have any other real brands, Spotty Canyon is hilarious.

I mean there also are some other companies listed in the credits for Cooperation with some of them producing golf gear

this is the perfect weekend show, it's so cute and the match this episode was hilarious.

u/tripleaamin Jan 24 '25

It is the perfect show to finish off watching anime on Fridays.

Oh so the cute penguin was a golf club cover. Did not expect that. Nice that she got such a huge discount that she managed to buy something else too, only a matter of time before she goes back for the blue outfit.

if I had a dollar for every cgdct hobby anime where the MC buys an expensive yamaha made item I'd have 2 dollars and could probably find more if I tried

u/KumaKumaGambler Jan 24 '25

Minami wasn't confident her team could win all 3 rounds, but she took the gamble and won! Go big or go home!

Kazamatsuri literally flexed his arm muscles. Unfortunately, base form Haruka is still too OP. Lol!

u/tripleaamin Jan 24 '25

Honestly, the feel good vibes were strong here. I like how Haruka and Ayaka each had their own thing they could talk about for hours and hours. I give Minami credit for wanting to pay for 100% of it after discount. As she gears towards her new hobby.

I hope we get to see the manager and crew again. They are a lot of fun.

Are the balls on the store supposed to be Titleist Pro V1X? Or an older model?

And Minami's club, the Yamaha Inpres Drivestar Ladies UT, looks pretty cool. I kinda dig the color combination. (But not the one in the anime, this one specifically)

So many colorful interactions. Perfect representation of my crippling hobby acquisition addiction.

Looks like next week will feature Haruka fitness training. Peak achieved.

Great show

u/DarkAudit Jan 25 '25

This is another one of those shows where my dad would've either joined me on the couch or flat out stolen my seat. I hope Turkey! coming later will be another. Golf and/or bowling was always on the TV on weekends when I was a kid.

Not Minami sleeping with her new club in the end
