| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Cool, Reina showed up this episode and her personalty is exactly what I had expected. The type of tough girl that you shouldn't get on her bad side. The sumo wrestling part is pretty intense as usual. Hinomaru once again is proving himself although his opponent so far isn't too impressive. Felt pretty similar to the first episode. I'm still curious to see how far they'll develop Hinomaru but there's no doubt he has a lot of potential with his abilities. |
 |
| The hype from the fights is still there and also seeing the sumo rituals is really nice. |
| This new dude that showed up at the end has me curious as hell to find out who he is and what his role is gonna be But other than that, Hino continues to be very likable (Especially in matches) and the matches themselves haven't lost their appeal either so I think that I'm definitely sticking with this The other club members left good impressions on me too so that's another plus, however I was wondering for the longest why the Student Council President was such a hater and yet little did I know, it's because she's the little sister of the delinquent leader xD I'm gonna look forward to seeing her interact with Hino lol |
| yup i am going to enjoy this for sure, at first i was not too sure since i do not really know much about sumo but as a combat sport i knew i'd have an interest. |

| i gotta say, i thought it would be pretty generic after episode 1. but this episode got me hooked |
 |
| I'm really loving this anime (AOTS for me) I need to start watching more sports anime only one I've seen so far is Megalo Box |
| poop |
| Nice episode, they can now focus on future matches. Really curious how they'll develop themselves. |
 |
| I'm really enjoying this so far! The fights are intense, the whole concept of Sumo wrestling is really fun! I look forward to the future episodes! And that Ginger Bitch better step back, forgot her name but she seems like bad news. ;p |
| I loved the contrast shown between sumo and wrestling in this episode. The cast seems likable, its entertaining and I like the direction so far. Overall, this show definitely looks good to watch the entire time. |
| I still not convinced that a MMA fighter would lose to Sumo dude. I mean, the Sumo guy would have to weight 10x more to not even fall a little once. I guess Hinomaru must really be at a god tier. |
| This was such a good episode. So much hype! |
| I'M LOVING THIS SHOW, THE HYPE IS REAL Seeing men go at it in combat is so fucking badass. Can't wait till next episode!!!! |
 |
| Pacing seems abit fast compared to the manga. The slaps were pretty nicely animated tho |
| Love that so far none of the people who fought Ushio were sore losers. |
| REJECT ANIMU - EMBRACE TOKU |
| Kirihito is already here uh. If they aren't going to skip tournaments (doesn't really seem like it, wouldn't really make sense at least for the first one) I really don't see the point of introducing him now. Introducing him later like in the manga would be the most natural. |
 |
| Oh boy, we've got a good sports anime on our hands |
 |
| I knew nothing about sumo going in and this has convinced me it's awesome. I can feel the unrealistic aspects at points, but for the sake of hype I can deal with it, this is awesome |
| You have shit taste, and then I have taste so shit it makes your taste look good |
| Fucking love this show, the OST, the characters and foremost that it embodies the spirit of sport shounen so damn well. Super hooked. |

| They needed 3 more members, and they got them pretty damn quickly. I'm really liking this show so far, and I'm sure future matches will be as awesome as the one in this episode. |
| People on MAL refuse to actually enjoy watching anime. Your taste in anime isn't a personality trait. |
| That match was pretty cool! I even drop a sweat by just see them. Hahahahaha, feeding the cat while imagining Ushio's face was hilarious xD |
| THAT WHOLE GANG IS HERE, LET'S GO !!!!! This is looking like AOTY, |
| Nice episode although I was expecting that girl with glasses from the previous ep. to appear. But well, at least we got introduced to Reina. I wonder what her problem with Sumo is... The fight itself was good and I liked the way Ushio talked about how important the spirit is for a Sumo wrestler. It was really interesting to hear. It really seems as a kind of ritual for him. And now, they're an official club. That was pretty fast if I'm honest but it's ok. That way, they can focus on entering in tournaments. |

| Chihiro is one interesting character but Ushio is a colossal to be reckon with. I'm glad Yuma joined the Sumo club he also seems interesting, and as for this this Kirihito guy I hope he will be interesting also. I anoint this one too as one of my favorites to watch this season, after Slime, Kaze, goblin slayer, Jojo, spyce and Karakuri circus. I'm really looking forward to the next episode. |

| Well, I was already sold last episode and this only confirms it. Great followup, expecting great things now. The sumo vs wrestling match was super intense, had me hooked. Took a liking to both the wrestling guy and it looks like Yuma seems to be a good enough guy at heart even though he was a jerk last episode. Pretty typical but I'm sold. xD Reina is a cutie, I knew she had to be related to Yuma in some way cause of the way she was acting. Kirihito is probably gonna be their manager/coach I guess? Looking forward to more next week. |

| Did Gonzo get an upgrade on the team or what? the quality of animation still remains in high tier. |
ButtSlapper said: Did Gonzo get an upgrade on the team or what? the quality of animation still remains in high tier. My thoughts exactly! I was thinking that this might be the best we've seen from them in quite a while. Also, cats are assholes 😎 |
| I'm no Weeaboo I'm Katsura |
| Man, never thought I would enjoy a rikishi anime so much |
| lol |
| This keeps on strong, the 2nd episode was just as good, if not better than the first episode! The shonen fighting is very exiting. The main character has a very annoying voice tho |
| HENTAI IS ART |
| This ep is much better compared to the first one in terms of the art and animation. I hope they're just doing things out of order and not skipping the introduction of Kusanagi and Munechika and the first mayor fight of the manga that is Hinomaru vs Munechika. Also in the manga Kirihito appears after a pretty important plot development so idk how they're gonna handle that now. But overall this ep was pretty solid, made me excited for the next one. |
 |
| They skipped the entire first tournament and all of Yuumas actual character development and then shoehorned in a random introduction that happens after chapter 30. It looks great but I'm incredibly disappointed, those early chapters really gave more weight to the introduction of everyone else, the growth of characters and their insecurities. This is a sports series and as such it's largely about character development, some fights are skipped in the manga because the fights serve as reflections of their personal growth and internal conflicts. I really hope they don't rush this through as solely a fighting anime because while the fights are INSANE it's about the people. |
| Really liked so far, the prota, it's too funny. |
| I was never interested in sumo and even looked down on it. But this anime is great so far. |
| I don't usually do sports anime but I am loving this. Likeable characters and alot of fun! Have a feeling it'll one of my faves of the season |
| Can I offer you an egg is this trying time? |
| So I see they've rushed to introduce everyone, and more of the story will probably be streamlined too. Guess they have to if they want to get to that point with only 24 eps. Don't like this change up, but I guess I can live with it. |
 |
| Oh man I cannot wait for the tournaments to start and for the shounen battle hype to be at 110% That shit is going to be insaaaaaane |
| “I love heroes, but I don't want to be one. Do you even know what a hero is!? For example, you have some meat. Pirates will feast on the meat, but the hero will distribute it among the people! I want to eat the meat!” - Monkey D. Luffy |
| The ED is so awesome. |
| I don't know why but that was fucking hype |
 |
| Disappointed about skipping stuff especially yuuma development but it's good otherwise. |
 |
| Alright! another great episode! that was quick! they immediately have a total of 5 members! looks like the one student who said that he'll take them to the national is a cool dude huh! 5/5. |
 |
| The hype is so real here. The intensity in the fights is amazing. |
| The opening theme always gets me excited! Looks like they finally got the 5 member team that they wanted. Also, who's this glasses guy? Is he going to be their manager or something? |
 |
| To sum up the show, it's about manly men doing manly things very manly. |
 |
| This is other feelgood series apart from Kishuku Gakkou no Juliet and Tensei shittara Slime Datta Ken. Lots of great feelgood series for this season. Many of them remind me of series from my childhood. This kind of reminds me of History's Strongest Disciple Kenichi and many other similar series. MC is a thicc boi and Ozeki is an even thicc-er boi. We love thicc bois. The characters aren't too special, some of them look generic but the story is fun and I love these silly testosterone-rifed series with lots of funny moments. Yuuma is such a tsundere, wanting to join the sumo club plus he's in love with that fat pussy and feeds it everyday with kitty snacks. |
| 臭い- |
| The second episode was the typical episode, without surprises when appears new characters and the "bad" is transformed in "good"!! Well, the most important is how to evolve!!! |
| Dont know why .. but i think this is one of the most underated shows this season ! I really like it !! |
 |
| I see Luck is still interested in fights as always |
| An admin's dickhead Soul banned me from MAL t('v't) |
| Even though the characters feel generic the story is pretty interesting and the fights are fun to watch Looks like dem thicc bois have all the club members they need to join a tournament against other thicc bois |
