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

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…
