SynopsisYawara! is a sports anime laced with comedic and romance elements. It starts off with Yawara Inokuma, a high school girl who is most interested in doing the things that your average Japanese high school girl does. However, she has been trained in Judo for years by her grandfather, Jigorou (A former Japan Judo Champion), who has much grander plans in store for her as a Judo superstar. He manipulates matters so that Yawara ends up having to perform in matches and tournaments. His final plan is for Yawara to "Win the Gold Medal in the Olympics and be awarded the Nation Medal of Honor".

Yawara was the first sports anime I watched...well, it was the first I started watching anyways.
The romantic relationships and such weren't too great, but the personality of the main charaters (Yawara espically) were pretty good. The judo fights were excelet as well.
Being from the past, it didn't really have the most visually appealing art, and the sound wasn't too good enough, though.
What I have watched was very enjoyable to watch...but then the unthinkable happened...it was regrettably dropped by the subbers :( I wish I could've seen how it ends, but oh well I suppose, maybe some day it will be in my dvd collection...

Both series have the same comedic feeling, although Yawara tend to be more serious.
