If you are after a comedy that actually makes you laugh out loud, Rising Impact is available in Australia on Netflix, and in the US on Netflix right now. Across 2 seasons, the show has had time to find its rhythm and keep it. Its 9/10 TMDB score, built from 40 ratings, reflects a title that consistently delivers. Misaki Kuno is the obvious draw, but the whole ensemble earns its laughs. Put it on tonight on Netflix and see for yourself.

Rising Impact arrived without much fanfare and built its audience the hard way — through word of mouth. The jokes in Rising Impact land because the characters underneath them are worth caring about. When a third-grader's natural gift for golf is accidentally discovered by a pro player, the boy embarks on a journey to be the world's best golfer. Misaki Kuno and Yumiri Hanamori lead a cast that never overplays a joke. Across 2 seasons from 2024, it never lost the thread that made it worth starting. The real test of any comedy is whether it is still funny once you know all the jokes, and Rising Impact holds up on rewatch in a way that separates it from one-off curiosities. It sustains a level of quality that very few manage to hold onto all the way through.

Rising Impact is the kind of thing you put on in the background and end up fully watching. The tonal similarities to Captain Tsubasa are real, though Rising Impact carves out its own identity quickly. Short enough to finish in a weekend, substantial enough to feel satisfying. Misaki Kuno anchors an ensemble with real chemistry. Genuinely funny, consistently, across the whole run.

Rising Impact wrapped up in 2024 — and 2 seasons are available to watch from start to finish.
