| It seems that you're incapable of having an intelligent discussion without having to curse. Do point to where I mentioned I watch women wrestling only for sex appeal, go on. It is no secret that women's wrestling is often sexualized but that doesn't mean I don't appreciate their talent. I had watched many women's matches that exceed quality of the men's matches. I myself is a big fan of Lita and Mickie James. However denying that its biggest attraction is sexual appeal is like denying the sun rises from the east. Can you honestly blame people if they watch only for the sex appeal? that's like saying you watch a Bra & Panties match for its wrestling. CybeastGregarX said: But honestly it's just better to just see a match in the ring and see REAL rivalry and not something that is forced and limited. Something Japanese wrestling does perfectly, again something Sekatsuyo does with Sakura and Rio's rivalry being real and not scripted. Bullshit. Shoot wrestling hasn't been around for decades. It has been replaced by MMA. Both NJPW and AJPW are scripted. If you think those rivalries are real, you are either a teen or very gullible. I do admit they are more passionate and "real" compared to WWE. Juri was the one who appeared the FIRST time as Blue Panther but the one who interrupted the 2nd Rio-Sakura and choked Rio was already Elena. Suuure, a training with Misaki and suddenly she's God-like. Suddenly none of Rio's attacks amounted to anything and a few slams and punches from the much lighter Sakura was enough to make a pro like Rio dizzy. CybeastGregarX said: Since they had lots of dancing lessons and such as idols it's also no wonder how they have tough endurance. Did you think that Sakura and Elena only did their somersaults because of wires attached to their bodies? A lot of stamina and agility maybe, that doesn't explain how their bodies were able to take so much punishments and how they suddenly have the arm and leg strength strong enough to knock out someone who bust their ass in the gym everyday and got slammed regularly in the ring by much stronger opponents. |

| I think this show leaned too much towards fan service and should of been a bit more serious, however adding to what MiloticBear said if too much realism was added the show would of been boring so i agree a certain amount of fantasy is needed. My main pessimism towards the show is the extended fan service where all we had was a crotch or breast shot with Sakura screaming it hurts, surely they could of done something better, but also the ridiculous losing streak without Misaki stepping in sooner. In the end all i can give this show a 5 as it wasted too much time on pointless fan service and not spending enough time on actual wrestling. However if you need a show to pass the time or to break up some tension of a more serious show then i guess this show has it's place. |
| Striking from nowhere. Killing with accuracy. This is who I am. |
| Relieved its over. One of the few series I watched this season that felt like a chore to watch. |
 |
Akamitsu said: I'm surprised they had the energy to stand upright, much less do a flawless idol performance right afterward. Seconded! After all the stress Elena put Sakura's knee through, I'm surprised they didn't make her see a doctor before allowing her to dance and do backflips... They should probably both be evaluated for concussions too. |
| Loved it, really hope for there to be another season. |
| What a intense episode to finish up! Man, I didn't know what Sakura-chan would decide as I could see her undecided but hearing Jackal to suggest she do both brought relief to me as it was a great idea! Luckily Sakura-chan accepted that challenge but can she do it? I dunno but she's trying together with Elena will be there with her along the way doing both as well, was great to know. I'm glad Sakura-chan didn't use her devastating knee move on Elena-chan, would of been messed up. Man, too bad this show didn't have a higher budget to make some of those wrestling scenes better drawn but oh well. The cast was great especially my favorite Ayachi and Asumi-chan. Doubt they'll be a season two it really entertained me and I'm glad I stuck up for it when it was being bashed by the local morons. Riptos said: Relieved its over. One of the few series I watched this season that felt like a chore to watch. Did thinking stop? Why would anyone watch a media that was not being enjoyed? Just who is it that you are watching it for to be a chore? Just who are you doing the chore for? Again, did thinking stop for some of these people? |

Iif you don't enjoy it don't force yourself to watch the whole thing and then complain. Completely nonsensical |
| Well this series overall was such a disappointment. There wasn't really much to the characters, wrestling, or even the fan-service; which weren't that much if you count seeing cooch on-screen while women are screaming in pain. But I'd still rather watch all 12 episodes than 2 hours of RAW any day of the week. |
 |
| wasn't as horrible as I expected (still the best sport anime this season); the fight with Rio was actually pretty good 5/10 |
| 7.5/10 for me. Pretty surprised that it turned out to be a nice series though |

The anime mirrors the manga pretty well so if you've seen the eps you can enjoy the raws Yeah i've seen all the episodes. I mostly want to read the manga after where it left off in the anime though. |
| Was pretty disappointing, but I can't say I particularly disliked it. Even with the horrible characters and the silly plot twists, there were some fun moments for me. Will definitely watch season two if it gets made. |
 |
| Well I dunno about you guys, despite how slow and painful the first few episodes were, as it picked up it got quite entertaining. I just wish it didn't only have a mere 12 episodes and went a little further to at least 20. Crossing my fingers for a season 2 with an improved budget. |
DingoEnderZOE2 said: I was expecting 13 at most since that is the usual number of episodes for an anime, along with 24 or 26. But there is a possibility for a season 2, we just don't know when it might or if it will be made. Since usually the ratings of anime on sites like this don't matter, mainly Japanese ones. So depending on how it does in Japan, season 2 might be made.Well I dunno about you guys, despite how slow and painful the first few episodes were, as it picked up it got quite entertaining.

| This was a torture to finish. I dont even know why i picked this up. Omg i hate the main characters and the plot (yes the real plot and not "plot) was non-existent. The fan service wasnt even that good, heck if it was only fan service i wont even mind. Hope i forget this series soon. 5/10 |
| Sakura and Elena still had to dance with their "broken" bodies, and looks like they got used to it... lol Well, that was another victim of prejudices anime series. I really liked it, this episode wasn't the best but still a good one. |
| Well I'm happy about their decision in the end. At the start of this show, watching it was getting really monotonous but after ep.6, the show started to become interesting and even entertaining. I began to look forward to each ep and think about how it would progress. That didn't change right up to the final episode. I've never seen an anime about women's wrestling before, but this was a surprisingly fun effort in the end. Loved the OP, disliked the ED. 6/10 altogether. |
| I'm glad that this anime exists, I found it very enjoyable indeed, especially the last match. And hats off to the voice actors... |
| What's the point of all this? // There's no point. I'm doing it because I can. That's all there is to it. // What will be left behind after this? // Nothing at all. She'll die and I'll burn out. The end. That's all. (Requiem for the Phantom) |
| Let's not fool ourselves, this was a cheap show with half-stupid writing about fake wrestling suddenly being real and also trying to use sex moans and sexy girls as an appeal but in the end i will be more lenient to this than normal because i admit they did a few things decently. First the way they handle winning and losing was smart. They didn't make silly over the top wins, They showed how much you can lose, they didn't exaggerate to stupid degree etc and they didn't try to throw some over-dramatic bullshit with some villainous wrestler etc. You could say that in that aspect the show was better that even well made shows. It really kept it real and decent in that aspect. Also the end was decent and basically predictable or not the last three episodes was probably the best it could be done. So yes this is a cheap-ass show with cute girls moaning like in a hentai but at least it avoided being a complete miserable pile of shit. It may not be something that i will ever think spending my money on but is not something i'll throw in the garbage bin if given to me. |

| I just finished watching this anime in just a day. so enjoyable! I don't know why it has a low rating here in MAL. Anyways i'm also hoping for a season 2. 8/10 |
| Signature removed. Please follow the signature rules, as defined in the Site & Forum Guidelines. |
| I really really really wish i could get a full version of the song that is playing at the end when they are running to the stadium. |
| I really wish I hadn't started this; even the completionist in me could only make it through this steaming pile of awkward moans and repetitive cooch shots by skimming through the last six episodes. 1/10 and super bummed that there isn't a decent women's wrestling anime out there. Oh, and for the record, fanservice services no one if it isn't sexy. |
| Quality Queen. |
| IT'S OVER!!! It was nice to see a fight that was pretty equal. So in the end they both choose to be both a idol and a pro wrestler. Cool I guess. Might read the manga when it's done. |
| wow...I watched the specials first...and IM glad I did...because this show was a HUGE let down...no tits...no camel toe...they didnt even try...whats the point of female wrestling if not all that and a bag of fine fine chips baybeh? pffft....3/10 for this borderline bishoujo blue ball given teaser / non tease show lol |
| I think this show gave me aids. It started with Sakura's 50+ losses in a row. I don't care which sport in which country youre in, that shit would be unacceptable. Especially wrestling. If you lost even 3-5 times in a row, they would've pulled you to do extra training. 10+ times? You would be pulled until you fixed whatever the fuck was broke, and even then you'd end up earning the right to get back in through shitty minor matches. More than 20 losses? Would've been fired, in any sport. Those arenas were empty as shit. No business would let a single person ruin sales to that extent. For a show that prided itself on fanservice, we got super little of that. Maybe like 3 nipple scenes the entire show? I don't count wrestling outfits as fanservice, I don't care what lewd positions they get put in, that's just part of the sport. The screaming was a huge turn off, and completely unnecessary. None of the pros were screaming like babies. Elena was also fucking ridiculous. She was either insanely fucking good, or Sakura is fucking pathetic. It makes no sense that some upstart who's never been a real fight, and barely had any training (she was just taking a beating for the sake of pain for the most part) is all of a sudden able to go toe to toe with someone who's at a caliber to be a world contender. Realistically if she was THAT good she should've won the fight. The only plus side to this show was the fact that they fucked up and drew Elena with Juri's body while she was still masked, so her tits were WAY bigger than normal...so they had to roll with that for the entirety of 11 and 12. She was already well endowed, but not THAT well endowed. Cant complain about bigger tits. That and a few nips were the only actual pluses to this show. I tried. I really tried to give it a chance after how much I hated it. And while it did get slightly more bearable after the Rio rematch, it still fucking sucked. The show tried too hard to be a mix of drama/fighting and fanservice and ended up failing with both. 2/10, hope the specials have more tits. |
| Well, it's a nice anime if you can look past the unwanted fanservice, the many submission moves, the screaming, moaning... and a few broken wrestling rules. Shame we didnt see a tag team match. |
 |
| Not bad I guess. It started a bit slow and a bit boring , but after the first few episodes it got a little better. Didn't like the characters all that much but I have to say that they went into detail with wrestling. Didn't expect that. ˇˇ |
 |
| Anime/manga: Where the MC can live a hard ass double life without no problems. lol First 5 episodes were watchable, but you get tired of Sakura losing and the way she's losing. Episode 6 saved the series and it just got better after that. I give it 7/10. Damn. Elena looked sexy in blue. Why'd she change her outfit. Oh yeah, they said the name of the series. Roll credits. *ding* |

| The Ref was best girl. |
| thanks for the panty shots, +1 point the rest I'll leave for the sadomasochists. 2/10 EDIT: Specials are MUUUCHHH better and enjoyable than the main series ^^ |

| The finale wasn't as terrible as the rest, but it's still the biggest shame of the sports genre and not even the ecchi was able to salve it. In fact, I can't even think of any redeeming quality aside from the "so bad it's kinda intriguing aspect" and the idol performance xD 2,5/10 |
One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron |
| Thank god it's over. I expect some average sports anime with heavy fanservice but instead I got lots of moaning and "ittai" without any good fanservice. The fights were dumb and the characters bland, can't see anything good about this show unfortunately. 1/10 |
