If this is not HALF as gay as Birdies Wing, then I don't want it.

Nice, I had already lost hope for a TV serie, i felt like it was a waste for it to be a standalone -15 minutes special.

Needs to be at least half as crazy and 75% as gay I'd say or they're wasting their time.

Meh. The special was the epitome of a boilerplate CGDCT series. That won't cut it compared to most Kirara shows; let alone Birdie Wing.

So this is the third golf anime airing this year, correct? The dam finally burst.

All these golf series and yet I still can't get a curling anime. Sad

Hold strong! That’ll be right after we get a batch of badminton anime.

Birdie Wing has it already.

Golf has too huge auditory in Japan - to the point that only ice skating, tennis and baseball can beat it.

I can only hope this is going to be Birdie Wing without males and het BS. Those two fatal mistakes ruined Birdie Wing as well as the likes of Two Car, Pride of Orange, Little Witch Academia, and soon Highspeed Etoile. I feel that Sorairo Utility has the potential to sell well without making those mistakes.[/quote ]

Wow what a schizo

Wow, you can't even quote right.

The OVA was not really much going for it, but I'm still glad they're making more of it regardless. But comparing it to Birdie Wing is unfair, as the latter is certainly not a slice-of-life series, so both are for a different audience.

Based on the lackluster short I'd call this Bogey Wing.

Having watched the OVA and being partial to CGDCT/SOL/iyashikei I will give this at least the 3 episode trial. Whether it will be worthwhile or not will really depends on the script writing, since the interactions between the main characters make or break this genre.

No yuri please (not that I object to yuri, but it takes a show from iyashikei to drama).

Maybe it will even make golf interesting (the way Slow Loop made fishing interesting).
