All right. Let's pitch a harem series aimed at 10-16 year old Japanese boys to feel.


I see a point in here. But I fail to see how that point is in any way related to your assertion that ANN reviewers don't like fanservice unless it's for women.

Not going to lie, this is the main reason I'm going to check the show out despite my indifference to the sport. Girls in golf outfits are cute. The blonde especially rocking the short shorts.

I usually roll my eyes at out-of-place fanservice (like, stuff like Keijo gets a free pass because it's unabashedly doing boobs and butts appeal), but weird dominatrix-esque lady on the left aside, I think most of these outfits are just genuinely cute. Eve's I think is just going hard on an old-school Yankee feel--like they are really trying to sell that this lady is a brute-force-style American-with-a-capital-A golfer (I assume, at least, going by her blonde hair and name) in contrast with the more "refined" skirt-wearing golfers and at least one pants-wearing female golfer on the right.

I got a really big laugh at the cast list when I noticed that Tohru Furuya is playing a character named Reiya Amuro! I'm also amused that Shuichi Ikeda is also playing a character in this series, Leo Millafoden. I wonder if these two characters are going to be rivals in this series.

Professional golfers wear "skorts," a pair of shorts with an attached skirt. Most of those skirts these days are pretty short, but the design of the outfit makes them not revealing.

I have some friends who belong to The Country Club in Brookline, Massachusetts, home to a number of US Opens and the 1988 Ryder Cup. (Open will be there again this year.) Apparently the outfits worn by most LPGA professionals on tour would not be acceptable garb at TCC.

I'm a golf fan and played a lot this summer(I'm not good but I enjoy it). All I thought of while watching this was yelling "Bubba long!"

Least we forget Hideki Matsuyama is the defending Masters champion.
