I kinda wanna pick up Birdie Wing again, but I really didn't like the mafia stuff, and it looks like it is coming back next season

But the mafia had a shapeshifting underground golf course and a snake woman with disorienting pheromones and a lady with a prosthetic arm that exploded when she made a shot too hard and they blew up a politician's car with a bazooka and... I liked the mafia parts of Birdie Wing lol

On another note, Birdie Wing inspired me to rewatch Scorching Ping Pong Girls last night. They aren't all that similar other than a few tropes related to sports anime, but it was the closest thing I could think of. SPPG was still pretty good. I like Koyori a lot for always feeling the doki doki when she plays, and it goes all-out with magical ping pong skills. The problem I have with it, and one I'm glad Birdie Wing avoided, is that SPPG only has one season. It's still introducing rival characters in the last few episodes, and the final episode ends with a montage of all the interesting teams I never got to see. It's a good anime but depressing that it never really went anywhere.
