Move over Executioner, Birdie Wing: Golf Girls' Story is my anime of the season.

I remember putting this at the bottom of my lists earlier in the season. It was good early on, I just had no faith that it would go anywhere. Birdie Wing kept on reaching new heights, though. I thought some of the mafia golf craziness would be the high point but it just got better and better no matter what it was doing. Eve and Aoi are both fun characters and their dynamic is the best. Anime insanity has improved many other sports with special moves and unreasonable abilities, and that kind of stuff translates to golf well. It's stereotyped as the most boring sport, but I've seen videos where pros skip the ball across a lake onto a hill where it then rolls just perfectly for a hole-in-one. Golf lends itself well to insane feats of skill, and fiction can cut out all the fluff and only show those exciting shots. Add magical named abilities onto that, plus the mafia for some reason, and you get Birdie Wing. It's great, and I can't wait for season two.
