In the end, just like the beginning, it's a goddamn recap.

Why waste 2 episodes over something that only relatively finished like 3 months earlier?

But oh well, Tonbo's anime story ends here, and Season 2 is a vast improvement over the prequel.

Recap. The End. Bye bye Tonbo.

Well, I already stated my opinion about this show in the previous episode.

Recap ep of the season. Disappointing from an anime that I really enjoyed this season.

Why there is a recap to end the season, as well as one at the start and both being a part of the official episode count? No idea. Feel like the season gave me enough content to warrant the season even with two episodes that were wasted. Also, this season was pretty solid in general and I liked it more than the first one, even if it had a bit more of a standard, sports series structure to it.

Ain't no way they started and finished this season with recaps lol, I think that's the first time I've ever come across something like this. @animejas Do you have any other examples?

Anyway, I thought it was OK, I definitely preferred the first seasons writing and character development. 8/10 to a 6/10 for this season.

No idea why they did this, but tbh it was a chilled 24 minutes in a lil between seasons that left me feeling fine.

It's almost as if this episode is actually intend to be the first episode of season 3 but it get canceled so they've to air this at the end of season 2.

A pointless Recap episode seems a pretty shit way to end the season. I do hope we get a third season.

@GakutoDeathGlare Not to my recollection lol. I've seen many shows with seasons that start with recaps, and some that end with recaps but not both together.

I just skimmed through this episode. Not really sure why they put a recap at the end of the season. I'll probably watch it if we happen to get a 3rd season.

Yeah, watched the previous episode and thought it was the last one. Saw that there was another and was like "Cool". Then - a RECAP. WTF. Why bother? There wasn't a reason to give a recap to a series that eneded.

I don't ever remember a series ending with a recap like this. Weird and pointless.

Anyway, ignoring this episode, this series is a hidden gem. Absolutely loved it. I really enjoyed the 1st season, but this 2nd season turned it up a notch. I love the realistic portrayal of golf and Tonbo is such a lovable character. The new girls/rivals introduced were also a nice bonus. I look forward to watching them all duke it out in the future. Assuming we get some continuation of the series. If you understand or are familiar with the nuances of golf, this show really hits the spot. I was impressed and always entertained. I gave it a 8.31

Very strange to end the season with a recap episode, especially when they didn't use it to announce Season 3 either.

A recap for both the first and last episode is insane, but I still really liked this season, so I'm gonna ignore that for now.

I hope there's a third season, but if not, at least it ends with Tonbo winning a tournament.

Well that was... unexpected. I got hyped for another episode, but not for a recap. Weird decision from the producers. I can only explain it in three ways:
1. Season 3/second cour was cancelled but they had this recap finished so they just decided to air it as a final goodbye.
2. Season 3 is in the works and they couldn't fit a recap episode at the beginning for some reason, so they decided to air it now.
3. Someone got drunk and submitted incorrect episode count to the station, and just so they wouldn't lose a slot they put this recap together at the last minute.

1 is my fear, 2 is my hope, 3 is probably what happened though maybe not exactly like that. Maybe they cut a filler episode out or decided to move the final episode to the next season for plot reasons. In any case, it's a bit weird.

Well, I'm glad I wasn't watching this week to week. I once waited a week to find the finale of an anime with 3-minute episodes was a recap. And in that case it wasn't a good series.

I kinda appreciated the recap of the first season because my memory is terrible, but this one didn't add anything other than a bit of Igaiga-Tonbo banter. Still an 8/10 series overall.
