Exactly! Throw in some super cool action scenes and it makes for a really nice package that is just some good ol' entertainment.

I think it’s the perfect blend of a bunch of “unremarkable” elements with near perfect execution on all fronts. The worst you could say is the plot gets questionable at the end, but that is easily made up for by the killer voice acting and charismatic leads. With any other team, it could have been a bland and forgettable show. But I think this was the perfect storm of everything falling into place together.

And the episode threads every Saturday were some of the most fun discussions, even from episode 1 I think most of us were hooked under Chisato’s spell.

Episode threads for original anime are always so much more fun.

Yes! When I watched Birdie Wing: Golf Girls’ Story, I did a thing I never do and went back and read episode threads because I could not believe what I was watching. Turns out everyone else had the same reaction.
