Let me first start off by saying not all Chinese anime are bad. But this was one of them.

When I read the synopsis, I was expecting a somewhat overpowered MC who was just trying to be low key but what you get is something a little different. AND when they said "cultivation," I was actually expecting to see some cultivation stuff like in Doulu Dalu, Tales of Demons and Gods, or even Reikenzen but nada!

Although they did have 1 scene that could be said to be related to cultivation but it was barely there one moment and gone the next never to be touched ... upon again.

The story was a bit bland but I did laugh a few times here and there. The characters seem very meh in my opinion. I wasn't really attached to any of them although I can say I hated the main female lead cause she just annoys me.

This anime had soooo much potential to be amazing but sadly, it wasn't realized.

This anime should [honestly] get more views.

The first thing I would like to say is that although this is a sports anime, it is different from the usual sports anime that we typically see. Most sports anime will have a common theme so they tend to be redundant but Hinomaruzumou is the first anime (that I know of) dealing with sumo as the theme.

I guess you could say the only thing Hinomaruzumou has in common with other sports anime is that the main lead, Hinomaru, wants to be the best and is aiming for the top.

The art might not be super attractive to some but ... don't let that fool you from the actual plot. I wasn't expecting much when I started watching it, because honestly, I thought it was going to be boring because it was about sumo, but I was sucked in immediately after only a few minutes.

The character designs aren't flawless but they are likable. I like the easy camaraderie they all have with each other.

To anyone who is on the fence about watching Hinomaruzumou, I'd say it wouldn't hurt to give it a try.
