It's so gloriously over the top and stupid. While being wildly entertaining.
This is what makes an entertaining sports anime. Taking things way beyond any reasonable sense while pretending that it is perfectly normal in-universe. Vipere cheats as much as possible, sexually harasses her opponents...but honors the deal when she loses and drives Eve around for the rest of the day. |

Whatever Yousuke Kuroda smoked when he wrote this anime, I want one. Not because the show is a disaster but how all the bonkers things in it actually work to make a show about golf feels epic & engaging.
My only disappointment in this episode is the fact that Vipere doesn't have snake-like shooting technique .

I haven't seen a sports anime this ridiculous (in a good way) since Keijo. Anime really can make any sport interesting, no matter how boring it is in real life. Curling anime when?
And it wouldn't be complete without lesbians. Eve pretty much confessed her undying love for Aoi by declaring there is only one name engraved in her heart and she needs no other after Vipère told her she was going to make her her slave in both mind and body using sex. VR golf next episode, the sky isn't the limit, there are no limits. I wonder how Eve is going to get in touch with her and patch things up.

Yep. I compared Vipère with Deep Niobe for a reason. She has fragrance-based trick like Niobe. The difference being, Niobe's fragrance is used to kill so you don't even get the chance to figure out his attack in individual fight before it's too late and you're already dying. Meanwhile, Vipère only uses her fragrance technique to screw her opponent's concentration but it's still hard to fully comprehend what she's doing even if you see her unzipping. Kudos to Eve for figuring out that it has something to do with Vipère's smell/odor/perfume and hold her breath.

Also, I believe Vipère used different kind of fragrance around her belly-button for her technique which could be more subdued.

Well that was just a TINY cliff hanger!
Good episode. I am enjoying the interaction between our two main girls. And its very true that pizza has a very short life expectancy in the presence of children!

That was not quite as crazy as I expected. I thought there'd at least be a course in space with Mobile Suits fighting in the background.
Rose probably has history with Aoi's mother, and is using Eve as a means to get back at her. I guess it's time for her and Eve to overthrow the mafia boss.

It's disappointing that we don't really see Eve & Aoi play in VR. But I guess this VR venture is worth it coz we get to see Eve wears cat ears & tail while Aoi's costume is all about wings.
But this is more like a plot-focused episode with everything that's going on with Aoi's mom & Rose and then the cliffhanger of the pub being gone.

Even though Eve is associated with the mafia, Rose is actually protecting her from Golf Balalaika, who surprising or not, was more than willing to immediately put Eve into prostitution if she lost the hustles.
I guess it isn't all smiles on Aoi's end either. She's being coddled and protected when she doesn't really need it. The preview was as interesting as the cliffhanger itself. I'm a little interested in how all the Japanese high school players seem to fit in. There's a lot more of them than I expected, and they seem to consider themselves a challenger to Aoi when not only her handlers, but Aoi herself doesn't really regard them as anything special. |
