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.

The villagers harvested all the wheat in four days, yet they constructed tunnels and ditches in less than two. A little girl fires a gun larger than her entire body, but the gun has no recoil. Moreover, a warrior amputates her own hand to attach another. The flashbacks are merely sorrowful tales of how the Mother-world ruined their lives. The prince declares that fighting for the villages has inspired him to reclaim his throne and fight for his people. Instead of returning home, he charges into the battlefield, brandishing hatchets, miraculously unharmed by lasers or explosions, his tan muscles seemingly invulnerable. Meanwhile, all the lasers miss the villagers, yet they manage to strike every armored soldier. The strongest villager is the one who perishes. Rebels arrive at the conclusion to claim all the glory. Despite the admiral's superhuman strength, he fails to subdue Kora. Of course, Kora cuts her hair in a pointless 'girl boss' moment. Lastly, the Anthony Hopkins robot was impressive. Regrettably, the film is the epitome of messiness, disharmony, and predictability.
