| Saint Seiya Omega will be completing its 2-year broadcasting run this Spring, when it will be replaced by the TV adaptation of manga Notari Matsutaro. Saint Seiya Omega will complete with the Omega Awakening arc at 97 episodes. Although a number of movies and OVAs were released between, this series broadcast in 2012 as the first Saint Seiya TV anime since the original anime which aired 23 years prior. Notari Matsutaro began serialization in Big Comic magazine 41 years ago in August 1973 and completed in March 1998. The sumo manga was created by mangaka Testuya Chiba, who is most known for his series Ashita no Joe. The manga previously received a 10-episode OVA series adaptation with the same title in November 1990. The new TV adaptation will be titled Abarenbou Kishi!! Matsutarou (Roughneck Sumo Wrestler!! Matsutarou) and will premiere on April 5th. Synopsis The story follows Matsutarou Sakaguchi, a giant roughneck man with strength far beyond ordinary people. He never uttered words like "work hard," "strive," and "dream" like the typical shounen manga protagonist. However, he is stronger than anyone and peerless in sumo wrestling. His greatest weakness is his own carefree personality. He grows into a full-fledged sumo wrestler.

| Indeed, this looks pretty good. If the quality is anything like Joe this should be more than a worthy replacement. |
| Steel Ball Run anime when? |
| So that will stop crying for a lot of guys. Sad for me. :( |
 |
| Guess that means I can marathon Saint Seiya Omega later this year too :O |
 |
| Oh? I thought they would at least make second season as long as the first one. I need to catch up then. I won't watch Notari Matsutaro, not my cup of tea. |
| Sumo? Tetsuya Chiba? Oh lordie. I don't know if I can handle this. |

| Heard that Ashita no Joe is pretty good (will watch that some time later) and this is from the same author, and it's sumo, hmm, I'll watch and see how it turns out. |

| Saint Seiya Omega was a terrible reboot, Im so glad its finally ending. I'm actually currently watching Joe so I'm really looking forward to this. |

| Now this is great. Ashita no Joe is almost completely subbed and Ashita no Joe 2 just recently got finished being subbed and now we get THIS. 2014 is a great year for anime fans. I will surely watch Notari Matsutaro. About Seint Seiya Omega, it looks really fun but I still have a lot to catch up on with that franchise. At least I'll be able to marathon it in the future. |
| Good news. Omega sucks. |
 |
| Even though I hate the sports genre in general and I'm most likely not going to watch this anime but there's something that I've noticed which makes me really happy. It's the attention that some older manga series are getting in 2014! so far they've announced adaptation for Ping Pong, Parasyte, This series and even an oldie like sailor moon.. this is absolutely fantastic! I do love modern anime but unfortunately some great old manga started and finished without getting the attention they deserve.. and hearing about all these adaptations gives me great hope considering some other old manga that might just get a chance in the future.. |
| Saint Seiya Omega has been the "so bad, it's good" long runner for me in the past 2 years. I'm glad that once Omega over, theres' other long runner candidate to replace it and by Ashita no Joe's mangaka to boot, which means more grounded, down to earth approach to sport genre (since awful lot of sport anime nowadays make their characters look like superhuman and such) and high emphasize on morals, something that i'll definitely be enjoying |
| i might give this a shot, never watched anything with sumo in it |
Immahnoob said: Jizzy, I know you have no idea how to argue for shit, tokiyashiro said: Jizzy as you would call yourself because youre a dick The most butthurt award goes to you And clearly you havent watched that many shows thats why you cant determine if a show is unique or not Or maybe you're just a child who likes common stuffs where hero saves the day and guys gets all the girls. Sad taste you have there kid you came up to me in the first place making you look more like a kid who got slapped without me even knowing it and start crying about it to me |
| Sumo wrestling anime, very original, but one issue, I doubt most kids in Japan today have even heard much less watched the original OVA series or read the manga (I could be wrong), both are pretty dated, I think this is more suited for a 11-2 AM slot where there's a viewing fanbase unless this has a recap episode or a remake (which it seems to be more of a remake). |
 |
| GL To Toei hopefully they adapt it well! |
| This looks awesome. Sports (and not one of the usual ones either) and seinen = I wanna watch. I hope it gets subs though. |
| I probably regret this post by now. |
| Oooh, sumo wrestling? Interesting, I'll definitely watch. |
| More sports anime? Hell yeah. |
| I'm not a fan of sumo but I will keep an open mind and as for seiya thank god it's ending it was such a disappointment. |
| Studio: Toei Animation Might as well drop it now before they make him beat the champion in the first season, get a job, lose some weight and become handsome. |
 |
| Considering that it's from the creator of Ashita no Joe, this might end up great. Of course, Ashita no Joe had Dezaki, but I won't lose hope! This will be a great replacement for me once Kill la Kill ends. |

| difficult to believe that the spin off lasted for almost 100 episodes, i complained about it all the time but i kinda enjoyed it NOW BRING LOST CANVAS 3 |
