8. Sekai de Ichiban Tsuyoku Naritai! (my new idol pro-wrestling guilty pleasure xD)still I think the same after watching ep.1 xD as expected it's 'more fanservice than sport' (kinda like the jousting harem, Walkure Romanze) but it's been a while since i saw a new female prowrestling anime... I never finished the 2 seasons of Fighting Beauty Wulong because most episodes werent subbed properly, but i guess i didn't miss much so maybe this'll be an exception; Ex: droplist candidate - PS 5/10

IMO watching this anime for most part is just an excuse to hear the well-known female seiyuu moaning

indeed though at times they're so loud that i have to turn down its volume xD what hooked me to try it, was Fumihiko Tachiki (in PV) yelling "agony! Agony!! AGONY!!! The Most Agonizing Anime Ever"... after watching the first 2 episodes looks like it'll be not the case but i imagined his hilarious narration from Kaiji, level E or Gintama making these female pro-wrestler matches into an epic guilty pleasure of mine

LOL

I wasn't paying attention during this last episode, and by the time they had gotten to somewhere around the 10th throw, my wife comes running into the room saying, "WHAT are you watching?!?!?"

The moment she saw the side jiggle, and pinning scenes in the first pro match, she looks at me and says, "Your choice in anime has just lost all credibility with me Mister!"

Could had been worse, if you were just innocently watching random video on youtube, and by chance landed on one of those troll videos with aniki's (Billy Herrington's) wrestling series...

I dropped this one after episode 3.

For 2 simple reason's.

1: No wrestling school/gym ever will not give you proper training if you lose 50 times in a row with the same move.

2: QUOTE Since all contact between the wrestlers must cease if any part of the body is touching, or underneath, the ropes, many wrestlers will attempt to break submission holds by deliberately grabbing the bottom ropes. This is called a rope break, and it is one of the most common ways to break a submission hold. Most holds leave an arm or leg free, so that the person can tap out if he wants. Instead, he uses these free limbs to either grab one of the ring ropes (the bottom one is the most common, as it is nearest the wrestlers, though other ropes sometimes are used for standing holds) or drape his foot across, or underneath one. Once this has been accomplished, and the accomplishment is witnessed by the referee, the referee will demand that the offending wrestler break the hold, and start counting to five if the wrestler does not. If the referee reaches the count of five, and the wrestler still does not break the hold, he is disqualified. .

Even while you clearly see her touching the rope a few times. The rule is completely ignored in the anime.

Other things are that she became from a person who endured the harsh beginners training and 100 throws of hell to a complete i cant do anything but cry pussy. Even her match against rio she could do more and that is before her training. And after watching the end of episode 3 i can pretty much see where this anime is headed.

^ by "i can pretty much see where this anime is headed" do you mean that Sakura will have a winning streak, after Misaki's training in ep.4 to escape the Boston crab from now on? is the series so predictable? :/ ...sarcasm aside i expected it wouldnt turn as realistic as it apparents to be but, comparing other sport anime i have seen lately is more believable (and ecchi ¬¬) than lets say Inazuma eleven or wulong

I'm really trying to give this a chance but all that is happening in the main screaming for 15 minutes of an episode. I can't believe someone thought that would be entertaining

I can't believe someone thought that would be entertainingi guess thats what the PV announcer means by 'most agonizing anime ever' but at least, 65 losses in a row wasn't predictable now that Sakura isn't losing by a same move since ep.5 -.-... still this is the first series I ever watched where the protagonist is beaten so many times which is a fresh change, I bet finally she'll win her rematch against Rio next week or else the plot will never advance

''sigh'' ep.7 started to get better than the previous episodes with Jackal Toujo's return to Japan, challenging her kouhai the national champion Misaki and other pro-wrestling rookies... but it had to be predictable that protagonist Sakura will fight against the world champ :/ I mean come on, why she chose someone who won once but lost 65 straight bouts instead of that 'mysterious masked girl'?'
