Ooi! Tonbo – 02
As my friend in the film biz says, "you can't copyright an idea, only the execution of an idea".
First Impressions – Ooi! Tonbo 2nd Season
And they'll be brief ones, I can tell you that.
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

Ooi! Tonbo – 03

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.
First Impressions – Ooi! Tonbo
Nothing feels better than belting your drive a mile straight down the middle off the first tee.
