First Impressions – Ooi! Tonbo
Nothing feels better than belting your drive a mile straight down the middle off the first tee.
Ooi! Tonbo 2nd Season – 02
This was excellent on all fronts, and irresistible in the same way the first season almost always was.
Ooi! Tonbo – 13 (Season Finale)
If you'd told me a couple of years ago three straight LiA posts would be golf anime I'd have said you were crazy.
Ooi! Tonbo – 07
Tsubura could take something from Tonbo's approach to the sport and, if she cared about improving, Tonbo could take something from hers.
Ooi! Tonbo – 03
Here we are, in a season full of bubble series, and Ooi Tonbo is the first non-sequel I'm confirming.
Ooi! Tonbo – 04
As I suspected after last week's episode, it looks as if the duty of the prodigy is going to be a major theme of Ooi! Tonbo going forward.
Ooi! Tonbo – 02
As my friend in the film biz says, "you can't copyright an idea, only the execution of an idea".
Ooi! Tonbo – 09
As a golf fan, this is kind of fantasy material.
Ooi! Tonbo – 08
At this point I'm pretty much resigned that Ooi! Tonbo is mostly going to be an LiA echo chamber.
Ooi! Tonbo – 06
Having unleashed these two against each other, Igaiga can't possibly control what happens.
Ooi! Tonbo – 10
If there was such a thing as golf porn, that was it.
Ooi! Tonbo – 12
If I were to guess I might say that the anime skipped over a bunch of manga material here in order to advance the narrative.
Ooi! Tonbo – 11
The last three episodes have been pure fanservice for golf lovers like me.
Ooi! Tonbo – 05
This is developing into something of a battle of both wits and wills between Igaiga and Tonbo.
Ooi! Tonbo: Life is like golf
You're always trying to put it in the hole.
