THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE.
----------------------------------------
The whole "Sanshiro Sugata" arc is based on a story by Tsuneo Tomita, though now I really want to watch the Akira Kurosawa adaptation that Wikipedia keeps directing me towards.

The three-episode arc avoids most of the pitfalls of this series - good characters, good plot, halfway decent animation. With a modern animation budget it could even be a historical series in itself. If they toned down the occasionally ridiculous acrobatics.
