Do you like breasts? Of course you do, you wouldn't be watching anime if you didn't. Do you like wrestling? Doesn't matter, have some more breasts.

Sekai De Ichiban Tsuyoku Naritai (Sekatsuyo for short) is a story about breasts. Sentient breasts with butts attached for panty shots. Two pairs of terrific titties stop by to watch other bodacious boobies bounce around in a wrestling ring. One pair of breasts gets rankled and gives a dropkick to another pair, setting off a string of wacky adventures in the world of foxy wrestling.

Sakura, the main character, has her personality summed up entirely in the show's title (spoiler: she ...

Ecchi shows these days are a dime a dozen, and when it comes to a studio known for such works as Samurai Girls and Queen's Blade, people don't get their hopes high for a tight narrative and endearing characters. Shows very clearly labeled as ecchi and marketed as softcore porn for blu-ray buyers from the outset are practically guaranteed to get negative reviews and low scores across the board for their entire duration.

Most deserve it. But not all of them do.

Here we have Wanna Be the Strongest in the World, aka Sekai de Ichiban Tsuyoku Naritai, a show with a title so generic it would ...

“This is more than just a simple match; this is real drama and real excitement! I dare say it’s the finest form of entertainment in the entire world” – Mariko “Jackal” Toujou, in regards to the final fight in the series.

Dear Mariko, fuck off. Matter of fact, to everyone that was a part of the creation of this show, fuck off! This kind of shit is the reason why the general public sees anime as either for children or as some kind of sick animated porn, that probably includes tentacles. The latter is mainly due to the use of ecchi within anime shows. For those ...

Sekai de Ichiban Tsuyoku Naritai (or SekaTsuyo for short) is another inspiring sports show, but cleverly disguised as a trashy ecchi show about girls getting close and personal. This season has seen several of these, like the new season of Hajime no Ippo or Yowamushi Pedal which gives the viewer anime's take on competitive cycling.

The story's focus is largely on the main character, Hagiwara Sakura and the challenges facing her each episode. Most of the time it flows smoothly but the pacing of the actual fights range from okay to poor. The fights don't offer much in the way of surprises and feel too staged ...

This is an ecchi show. You are forewarned if you don't like to see boobs bouncing. Proceed at your own risk.

Now, if ecchi doesn't bother you, and you like stories with character developments, you might just find this story a surprise sleeper waiting to be discovered.

The premise of the story actually has a lot more in common with titles like Slam Dunk, Haikyuu, etc (it is about sports after all) than with what we generally think of as ecchi. Sakura, our protagonist, decides to join pro wrestling on a whim after her profession - idol - and friend were abused/ridiculed by a pro wrestler.

As ...

ITAI! ITAI! ITAI!!!!!! Ok, enough of Sakura's "ITAI" monologue. So, leave it to them Japanese when they wanna come out something usual and exaggerate it..in be it in Manga or Anime....Ok so I haven't read the manga, and I probably won't...except skim over the fanservice. Co'z frankly that what I've been doing since this anime was shown. Frankly, this anime can be compared to one of those mix wrestling porn videos, where it involves FBB's doing some choreographed wrestling and choking of the guys, also this anime is somewhat of a crush video as well since we do see the main character Sakura getting crush ...

(This has been adapted from my reddit thread)

Every medium has its highs and its lows. That is, most things contain good, bad, and everything in between. This can be applied to things such as, say, pop-star idols and wrestling. But what happens when you combine the worst of both of those worlds? What you get is an astonishing piece of work. Wanna Be The Worst Anime In -- oh, sorry. Wanna Be The Strongest In The World! is this combination, and it is the worst piece of entertainment my eyes have ever witnessed.

Everything about this was terrible. The story could have had a chance, but it didn't.
The art/artstyle is plain and boring All of the characters look the same, same bodies, same faces, given obvious changes like hair, or eye colour.
The sound was mediocre at best, the voice acting was dreadful. I was asking myself why I didn't drop it after episode 3. Episode 4 felt like driving a screwdriver through my ears and into my skull. If I wanted to listen to painful moans I'd watch some terrible porn, which would still be better than this. In acting, story, characters, and enjoyment.
Overall, it's a dreadful watch ...

The synopsis of this anime involves an Idol who wants to start pro wrestling due to an insult from a professional wrestler. The idol accepts the challenge and is brutally defeated, only then swearing to defeat this fighter by becoming a professional wrestler.

This Idol then takes on the rigorous training for several months and finally makes her debut fight which either wins or loses im not sure, but then proceeds to lose over 50 consecutive fights by the same exact hold. The boston crab which gives us plenty of fanservice and moaning for several episodes.

Considering you are a professional wrestler you ...

Not bad,not bad at all.

Wanna be the Strongest in the World! or Sekai de Ichiban Tsuyoku Naritai! is a Japanese manga by ESE and Kiyohito Natsuki. The story follows Sakura Hagiwara, a pop idol and member of an idol group known as Sweet Diva that impulsively decides to turn into a pro-wrestler in order to avenge another fellow Sweet Diva member who got a beating from a female wrestler.

For an anime with a shallow and exploitable premise it does a respectable job with it's storytelling. An idol becoming a female wrestler seems like a project that can be incompetently executed or just vulgar fanservice bait ...

The first thing I would like to say is that while one of this show's genres is ecchi, it has much more than just that to offer. Don't get me wrong- this show delivers on the ecchi and there is plenty of it to enjoy. That being said I feel this show stands out as a masterpiece even if you don't like ecchi. Let me explain why I feel that way...

This show at its core is a story about passionate people who fight through pain and hardships to do what they love. This is a story of overcoming all the odds and chasing dreams. ...

What exactly do I think about Sekai de Ichiban Tsuyoku Naritai?

Well, to be frank, I was going to drop the series after just watching the 1st episode. It was nothing special and the only thing that stood out was the sexy girls with all the fan servicing. That was the only reason I continued onto the series to see their stuff bouncing while they were fighting.

I really started to hate the protagonist with all his giving up. It is very rare where you see the protagonist giving up all the time in an anime.

That sucked a lot but the fan service...wow!!! Until episode ...

OK, you might think that this show is all about oppais, well, you are wrong, cause, it is all about panty shots... The camera, the art direction, is all about to take the best panty shot on the screen, it have breasts? Yep, but, it almost doesn't count, cause there's some minors breast shots on the bathroom...
Ok, now you ask, why the heck am i speaking only about the fanservice... Cause there's no story, a atletic idol wanna be the best wrestler in the world.. oO omg... That's so bad, as bad as some twists in the story, but, the characters at least they are ...

I have mixed feeling about this anime. It was both hilariously bad, but also very endearing and exciting.

Story 9/10

First, let me just point the good parts about this anime's story.

Despite being super ecchi, this anime is a good underdog story and sports anime, in general. Especially in the final episode, I found myself really cheering for Sakura and shouting "you can do it" at my screen. Also, I'm not a fan of pro-wrestling in real life, but it does seem like the creators did some research into the sport and the fights are well choreographed with moves like the Boston crab hold, the ...

Preliminary (5/12 eps)
This anime is bad. It's as if this anime was written by a horny 12-year-old boy who was a fan of ECW and anime. Not only that's but he still believes that wrestling is real, yet he has no idea how wrestling actually works, and he loves anime girls. So he writes a terrible manga, and it spawns an equally terrible anime. I don't know what "professional wrestling" this anime is depicting but it isn't one that has existed outside of the failed WWF/E's "Brawl For All" shoot wrestling event. And even that disaster was better than whatever wrestling this anime is depicting. Hell, not ...

It's bad.
Let's keep things simple, other people have already left thesis length reviews if you want something that in depth.

Should you watch this anime? Probably not. Only under some very niche circumstances would I recommend it.

Are you looking for a sports anime with cute girls? There are way better options out there with better storytelling and pacing. Are you looking for an ecchi anime? Let's be honest, with a cover and tags/rating like that 99% of you reading this will be. There are TONS of better ecchi anime out there. The pacing and storytelling in this series is absolutely mediocre. Yes it has boobs and ...

Preliminary (3/12 eps)
easily one of the worst anime i've ever seen - even though the ecchi content might appeal to some, it's not that great unfortunately, and with everything else lacking in a significant capacity it ends up being a really rough watch. the premise starts with an idol who's trying to stand up for one of her groupmates in a scuffle with a pro wrestler, which turns out to be a display of extreme overconfidence, and the rest of the series progresses to show her suffering humiliating defeats (though i can't speak for the end since i had to drop it due to the staggeringly poor ...
