ABARENBOU RIKISHI!! MATSUTAROU

A series released within the mid-2010s, Abarenbou Rikishi follows a young man named Matsutarou Sakaguchi. after we meet him, he’s lazier and causing problems than he's your typical sports series protagonist. He’s not particularly good at much, except being strong...and sumo wrestling. This series isn’t anything like what people are normally accustomed to, and therefore the protagonist can even be a turn-off, but the art style and watching the character’s journey can still draw some people in.

9/10

I WANNA BE THE STRONGEST IN THE WORLD

This series is literally a couple of young ladies who starts out as an idol that becomes a wrestler. But unlike what people would expect from most series like this, the most character doesn’t quickly rise through the ranks, beating people with ease. No, the most character constantly loses, even after getting experience. This series is incredibly hated it or adore it though, as there’s much fanservice and therefore the voice acting...well, just watch with the sound down.

8/10

KEIJO

Keijo is that the most anime thing ever. It involves women battling on floating platforms above the water, trying to knock each other off with their butts. Now if this looks like an excuse to throw the maximum amount of fanservice as possible...it quite is.

But the show also plays this idea super-straight. The competitions play out like several other sports series, building drama and having fighting styles that give each fighter their own edge.  Looking past the fanservice, many wrestling and action fans could find plenty to enjoy with this series.

This series follows Hinomaru Ushio, a young person who wants to be a professional wrestler...but he’s under the burden limit.  With him being unable to quickly gain weight, his best and the only shot is becoming the highschool Yokozuna, the strongest grappler in highschool. But since he also has got to build up his school’s sumo club from scratch, he’s got even more work to try to than he might need thought.
