I nonetheless have not seen an official affirmation, however based on a Japanese Twitter account, it seems prefer it Ewe! Tonbo There can be two cut up programs, the second of which can be broadcast within the fall. Since there may be photographic proof and it appears fairly unlikely that anybody would pretend that for this sequence, I am guessing that is in all probability true. That is high-quality, besides that if summer time is trying kinda meh, it is a good suggestion to have fairly just a few spring leftovers. We nonetheless have just a few (HeroAca, Karasu wa Aruji o ErabanaiAnd The fable) however I’d have rapidly put this present in with that group.
As for this week’s episode – which we now should name the penultimate of the season – I’ve to say that for me it was the weakest of the whole run. Not dangerous in any respect, however one thing simply did not really feel proper. If I have been to guess, I’d say that the anime skipped loads of manga materials right here to maneuver the story ahead, though I do not know if that is the case or not. The move was much less pure than regular, and there have been just a few moments the place issues appeared fairly rushed. And who cares about Bunpei and Youko anyway?
In fact, that does not imply there weren’t some very nice issues right here. I favored the thought of having island youngsters write an essay earlier than their final summer time, even when it was a pretext for somewhat abstract montage. It is humorous that Tonbo is “Class 3-1”, due to course she actually is is Class 3-1. In that essay (which is historically open to everybody to learn, a really poignant concept given the decline of rural life in Japan) she makes it clear that she is the island life, bodily, if not mentally. And to me, it is the correct determination, contemplating every little thing she can be giving up by staying. And it isn’t like she will by no means return if she desires to. Dusty is correct: she must see extra of the world after which make an knowledgeable determination in regards to the life she desires to reside.
From there it will get somewhat awkward for me. The issue of what sort of life Tonbo will lead actually presents nice sensible achievements. Of all these concerned, Igaiga is after all by far one of the best certified to advise on how Tonbo will proceed her golf profession. And he is completely proper: typical golf instruction might be an actual conflict right here. Particularly in a rustic as obsessive about orthodoxy as Japan, golf is a sport obsessive about systematic schooling. However Tonbo is modeled after Seve Ballesteros, who realized to play the sport by hitting golf balls on the seashores of Cantabria in northern Spain, and had solely his brothers’ hand-me-down 3-iron to observe with. His genius was the creativity he realized by that self-study, and he managed to maintain it from being coached out of him.
I am undecided if there was extra rationalization about Igaiga’s plan within the manga, but it surely’s extraordinarily obscure right here (perhaps it is going to be defined subsequent week). He goes to the home of somebody named Kumamoto Udo (or somebody named Udo in Kumamoto). There he begs the couple to take Tonbo beneath their care. He additionally asks for forgiveness for previous transgressions. Does this should do particularly along with his golf scandal, or with the dissolution of his household? Is that this man a golf teacher, or are he and his spouse meant to be Tonbo’s foster dad and mom? TBH I do not know at this level.
Again at Hinoshima, we bounce ahead to March, the time of commencement. And now that we have now accomplished highschool commencement in Japan, the thought of a single-student college may be very enticing. Tonbo jumps off the stage along with her diploma and does the boys from the first college a favor (their reverse reactions are telling). And Tonbo appears to have had a little bit of a progress spurt – she’s taller and appears extra mature, other than the unfastened hair. Wataru has determined to admit after which suggest – we do not usually see Tonbo surprised, however here’s a uncommon exception. And we be taught why Youko went to that clinic in Kagoshima. Will she and Bunpei get collectively regardless of this? All indicators level to sure.
Once more, this all appeared to occur in a short time. Perhaps that is simply how the manga is, I do not know. Nonetheless, there’s some heavy lifting to be completed for subsequent week’s episode because the season finale, little question about that. I do not know why I anticipated Igaiga to go along with Tonbo when she left and handle her as her guardian and coach – I imply, in idea he has nothing tying him to the island besides her – however that does not appear to be the case are. on the playing cards for now. What sort of second season awaits us then – is not he a part of that? That will be fairly a shock – a lot in order that I believe one other pair of golf sneakers is but to drop.
