The appeal and evaluation of season 1 of "BIRDIE WING -Golf Girls' Story-" "BIRDIE WING -Golf Girls' Story-" is an original anime series produced by BN Pictures that aired on TV Tokyo from April 6 to June 29, 2022. This work is a story about female golfers with a golf theme, depicting the meeting and growth of two talented girls, Eve and Aoi. Below, we will explain in detail the appeal and evaluation of this work. Story and Characters The story is set in the fictional European country of Nafres. Eve, who makes a living by gambling on golf, and Aoi, the daughter of a large company and an elite golfer, meet and the story unfolds as they clash over their talents and passions. Eve is a strong-willed golfer nicknamed "Rainbow Bullet," while Aoi is a pure golf enthusiast known as "the innocent tyrant." The contrast between the two women adds to the appeal of the story. The acting of the cast, including Kito Akari as Eve and Seto Asami as Aoi, was excellent, and the individuality of the characters was well expressed. In particular, Eve's strong-willed personality and Aoi's innocence were portrayed realistically by the voice actors' performances. In addition, the supporting characters around the two, such as Shinjo Amane and Lily Lipman, are also charming and play an important role in adding excitement to the story. Golf depiction The biggest feature of this work is the depiction of golf. It is rare to depict the sport of golf in an anime, and this is the first work in the world to have a female golfer as the main character. Under the direction of director Inagaki Takayuki and series composer Kuroda Yosuke, not only the technical aspects of golf are depicted realistically, but also the psychological and strategic aspects. Don't miss the beautiful visuals by Misawa Shin, who was in charge of the golf course design and concept art. In addition, professional coach Toru Inoue supervised the production, and his expert knowledge of golf is reflected in the detailed depictions of shot trajectories, swing form, and more, making this a particularly enjoyable read for golf fans. Music and theme song Music is also an important element in enhancing the appeal of this work. The powerful voice of Hirose Kohmi, who sings the opening theme "Venus Line," adds excitement to the passionate golf battle between Eve and Aoi. Additionally, the gentle voice of Tsukiyomi Mi, who sings the ending theme "Yodaka," enhances the story's moving scenes. The insert songs "HONEY DAYS (GONE TOO SOON)" and "Take a chance" also match the atmosphere of the story.
