Tsurune 2 Episode 13 -Full Anchor

Posted on April 2, 2023March 30, 2023 by Irina

I can say it officially now. Season 2 of Tsurune was exponentially better than season 1. At least for me. The rating is a little better but only by 4 or 5 points. But I thought it was a full letter grade better. If ever you had any doubt that reading anime is useless, I…

Tsurune 2 Episode 12 -Small Victories

Posted on March 26, 2023March 25, 2023 by Irina

I had to look it up after the end of the episode but there is one more left this season. This episode really felt like a finale to me. And a good one at that. It gave me all the emotional closure I needed and even a few of the good old competition jitters. I…

Tsurune 2 Episode 11 -Round 1

Posted on March 19, 2023March 16, 2023 by Irina

Nationals have finally started and all the teams made it to the tournament. Well, probably not ALL the teams but all the teams we care about, right? I actually had a great week of anime. All the shows I watched had great episodes, Tsurune included. But I noticed that I took way more screencaps of…

Tsurune 2 Episode 10 -Uncle

Posted on March 12, 2023March 12, 2023 by Irina

Out of all the episodes of Tsurune’s second season, I would say that this one most closely resembled the first season. And by that, I mean that it was mostly drama and personal strife with very little actual archery going on. There was a moment early in the episode but that’s about it. It’s not…

Tsurune 2 Episode 9 -Coach

Posted on March 4, 2023March 2, 2023 by Irina

Man, they sure are going all out in developing the Tsujimine team. I am not complaining…at least not yet. It’s going to be very difficult to root for any one school at nationals though. I wonder if they’ll do that cop-out that Sports! anime sometimes resort to and have a completely different school we’ve never…

Tsurune 2 Episode 8 -Practice Match

Posted on February 25, 2023February 25, 2023 by Irina

We are 8 episodes into the second season of Tsurune so I feel like I can say this pretty confidently now, I really like this season. As in I think it’s considerably better than the first. But I can see it also be a little alienating. Season 1 was a little like KyoAni’s other big…

Tsurune 2 Episode 7 -Teamwork

Posted on February 18, 2023February 17, 2023 by Irina

I have to say, I’m really enjoying this second season of Tsurune. That wonderful episode last week has now been followed up by an equally lighthearted and joyful episode this week. What do you expect when you put Ryouhei at the center of an episode, of course, it’s going to be happy-go-lucky. His unexpected budding…

Tsurune 2 Episode 6 -Be Careful What You Wished For

Posted on February 11, 2023February 11, 2023 by Irina

As soon as the girls mentioned entering a Kyoudo competition themselves as a three-person team, I got very excited. Tsurune is a fairly rare Sports anime in that not only are there female characters with talking parts who aren’t managers and/or potential love interests but actual competitors with their own arcs. Nevertheless, the girls’ characterization…

Tsurune 2 Episode 5 -Clean Release

Posted on February 4, 2023February 2, 2023 by Irina

I went through a lot of emotions watching this episode of Tsurune. I guess the guys did as well but my set of emotions was completely different. For the first half, I thought that they might be going back to a much more drama-focused series and I was a bit worried. But everything got solved…

Tsurune 2 Episode 4 -Beautiful

Posted on January 28, 2023January 27, 2023 by Irina

Last season when Minato had to take a step back from Kyoudo, it was always this big drama. He does get banned from using bows a lot… I figured we would be for another really emotional run of Minato pinning for archery. But now, everyone else is treating it like it’s really no big deal…

Tsurune 2 Episode 3 -Shamen uchiokoshi

Posted on January 21, 2023January 21, 2023 by Irina

Archery looks like fun, doesn’t it? Not necessarily competitions. That seems a bit too stressful for my tastes. Especially when your performance can let your entire team down. But just shooting at a target looks like tons of fun. I’ve done it a few times in my life and always enjoyed it. I can totally…

Aoashi – Back to Basics

Posted on January 20, 2023January 6, 2023 by Irina

Do you know the expression Big Fish in a Small Bowl? It means that a person is considered particularly talented in some way but is also compared to a very small group of other people making it easier to stand out. Ashito Aoi is a big fish in a small bowl. He’s the star of…

Tsurune 2 Episode 2 – Rivals!

Posted on January 14, 2023January 11, 2023 by Irina

An odd thing happens when I watch Tsurune. I simultaneously think to myself, what a calm, quiet little show. It sure is breezy for a Sports anime but then before I know it, the closing credits are rolling over the image. Where did the time go? How did it fly by when almost nothing happened?…

Tsurune 2 Episode 1 – Sports!

Posted on January 8, 2023January 5, 2023 by Irina

I actually reviewed the first season of Tsurune a little over 4 years ago when it aired. I was, and am, a big fan of Sports anime and one about archery seemed particularly attractive to me in concept. I ended up liking the show quite a bit. I had forgotten just how beautiful it can…
