A Promessa do Golfe

Out of all the anime genres out there, I especially love sports-ones. Though I have to say I didn't expect golf to be included in those sports. However, I thought I might as well give it a shot and it turned out to be great.

The characters are very nicely written. The anime is serious but also a bit goofy at times, which does fit the childish but serious theme of Gawain, the MC. And what I love about this series is it's tempo. It doesn't waste ANY time with its storytelling and generally Gawain's skill in golf progresses at a fast rate which constantly keeps you entertained. The anime also does a good job of keeping the golf-courses entertaining and often introduces wild, innovative and visually beautiful courses that the players have to tackle. This in combination with the good fast-paced storytelling made the golf-games incredibly intense and fun to watch with psychological battles and actual physical struggles. That is incredibly impressive, especially for an anime about golf.

Maybe a bit of a cliché anime since the MC basically has superpowers, but I still enjoyed it a ton. It's a very nice feel-good anime. Would recommend to anyone that likes a good sports-anime. Looking forward to what they will do with s3.

Loved the storyline, humor and action in this series! Definitely looking forward for season 3!

I know golf a little bit and for first timers in the sport, you can actually learn some stuff in here!

I try different animes from time to time and most of them I don't even finish the first episode. Well this anime got me hooked all episodes. I believe that the pace in TV series is changing due to the fact that we all lose interest very fast with social media and Rising Impact is a great example of TV Series evolution.

Sometimes jokes are too stupid that makes them hilarious.

Definitely recommend it! 11/10.

Season 1 was an 8 for me, which means I really enjoyed it. Never knew anything about golf or cared about it at all so that was pretty unexpected.

I was looking forward to season 2 but the first couple of episodes were pretty slow so I was about to give up thinking that in most cases the first season of a show is usually the best anyway, so nothing lost really. But I decided to stick with it and boy did it deliver on the second half. Seriously, I don't know how they managed to keep our interest up for a golf game, and how they made it into such an emotional and brutal fight. It was great to watch.

Which is why now I'm looking forward to season 3, and from what I read in blogs it'll most likely be enough for the remaining chapters of the manga. So hopefully we'll get to see it to the end. But even if we don't, the first two seasons were worth it.

Rising Impact is an anime that dives into the world of golf, a sport often perceived as complex and slow-paced, and attempts to make it more accessible and entertaining for a younger audience. Directed by Toshifumi Kawase and produced by Studio Deen, the series is a mix of sports drama and coming-of-age story, wrapped in vibrant animation and childlike enthusiasm.

Plot Summary The anime follows the journey of young golf prodigy, Gawain Nanaumi, as he navigates the challenges and intricacies of the sport. Gawain's dream is to become a professional golfer, and the series documents his growth from a novice to a formidable competitor. Along the way, he encounters various mentors, rivals, and friends who help shape his journey.

Simplifying Golf One of the standout aspects of Rising Impact is its ability to demystify the sport of golf. Golf, often seen as a sport laden with technical jargon and intricate rules, is presented in a way that is easy to understand and engaging. The anime breaks down the basics of the sport, from swing mechanics to course strategy, in a manner that is both educational and entertaining.

The use of visual aids, such as animated diagrams and slow-motion sequences, helps in illustrating complex concepts. The series also incorporates real-life golfing techniques and strategies, making it a useful introduction for viewers who are new to the sport. By simplifying golf and making it more approachable, Rising Impact succeeds in drawing in an audience that might have otherwise been uninterested in the sport.

Character Dynamics and Childlike Elements While the anime excels in its portrayal of golf, it falters in its character development. The characters, particularly Gawain Nanaumi, often come across as overly simplistic and childlike. This childlike portrayal can be endearing at times but often feels out of place given the sport's mature and disciplined nature.

Gawain Nanaumi's character, for instance, is depicted with a level of naivety and innocence that can be frustratingly unrealistic. His rivals and mentors also lack depth, often fitting into stereotypical roles rather than being fully fleshed-out characters. This lack of complexity in character development detracts from the overall narrative, making it difficult for viewers to fully invest in the characters' journeys.

The anime also tends to resolve conflicts and challenges with an ease that feels unearned. Gawain Nanaumis rapid progression and seemingly effortless victories undermine the hard work and dedication typically required in sports, especially one as demanding as golf. This 'child play' approach to character development and conflict resolution can make the series feel more like a fantasy rather than a realistic sports drama.

Visuals and Animation The animation quality in Rising Impact is commendable. Studio Deen does an excellent job in bringing the golf courses to life, with lush green landscapes and detailed character designs. The action sequences, particularly during intense golfing moments, are well-executed and add excitement to the narrative.

Conclusion Rising Impact is a commendable effort to make golf more accessible and entertaining, particularly for younger audiences. Its educational approach to the sport is its strongest asset, breaking down the complexities of golf in a way that is engaging and easy to understand. However, the series is let down by its simplistic character development and childlike portrayal of its protagonist.

While the anime's charm and educational value make it a worthwhile watch for those interested in golf, viewers looking for a more nuanced and realistic sports drama might find it lacking. In summary, Rising Impact simplifies the sport of golf effectively but stumbles with its overly simplistic and sometimes unrealistic character portrayals.

I was just looking for some anime while I'm high so I don't have a lot of hopes but this is really good and I got hook up to it until I finished the whole session I really enjoy watching it and would recommend it . Now I'm so interested to play golf. Gawain is such a sweetheart character I really love his character and lancelot wow his tsundere makes it more perfect for him. I would give this 10/10 not gonna lie. I'm not into sports anime but this is very comforting and soothing vibes that I'm also amazed for some reason its very healing. Character growth and very knowlegde hahaha. Its actually very unique tbh.
