YMMV / Birdie Wing

Go To

  • Awesome Music: Venus Line is a fittingly upbeat opening that perfectly embodies Eve and Aoi's friendly rivalry.
  • Epileptic Trees:
    • When anime material said that the setting is in Nafrece, many viewers began to run theories that the anime could be in the same universe as Madlax.
    • Nafrece is also the country of origin of Lady Lady from Valkyrie Drive: Mermaid, another anime that Kuroda wrote for.
  • Fan Nickname:
    • "Lesbian Golf Mafia" or "Golf Gundam" for the show as a whole.
    • "Golf Char" for Leo, since he's a Char Clone, and has Char's voice.
  • Just Here for Godzilla: Mecha/Gundam fans started to watch this because it has Tōru Furuya and Shūichi Ikeda, the voices of Amuro Ray and Char Aznable of Gundam.
  • Memetic Mutation:
    • "Penis Line" for the opening song, partly out of irony for a yuri show, and partly for the salaciousness. It comes about because Japanese doesn't have a "v" phonome.
    • "I'll kill you, in golf." note 
  • Narm Charm: Birdie Wing is a story where golfers get into underground blood sports with transforming courses, stuck in land conflicts between mafias, have techniques where they go Calling Your Attacks with complete seriousness, compare them to firearms, and gain reputations equivalent to Wuxia warriors. By all accounts it should just be at most So Bad, It's Good, but the series relishes so much in its exaggeration while still managing to have some likable characters and actual drama that audiences mostly just laugh with the series, rather than at it, even when its heroine says things like "I'll kill you with my golf!" .
