Get Ready to Tee Off with Sorairo Utility: Golfer Edition!
If you thought animations about golf were a total swing and a miss, think again! HIDIVE is streaming the latest anime about everyone’s second favorite sport starting January 3. So, prepare for a birdie-packed binge!
Key Points:
- Sorairo Utility is set to premiere on January 3, and it’s based on a golf-themed original anime special.
- The series will bring back the original cast from the earlier special, and we’re hoping they remember how to play golf, or at least how to swing a club.
- Directed by Kengo Saitō, who hopefully isn’t just putting; he’ll also design the characters!
- The opening song ‘Be the hero! feat. Airi Suzuki’ promises to be a real ‘hit’, as it includes a duet from a singer whose parents are pro golfers. No pressure, right?
- Plot centers around Minami Aoba, who seeks to avoid being a total background character in life by discovering her own special golf skills. Nothing like a little identity crisis with a side of fairway!
- Streaming will expand beyond Japan with various platforms picking it up, because why keep this golf fun exclusive?
Why Do We Care?
Golf in anime? It’s a thing, and apparently more popular than we thought! Who needs to hit the greens in real life when you can watch animated characters figure it out first? Tee-rific!
