quote:

After one last tournament and an embarrassing loss in the final round, Michi decides to call it quits on the sport of judo. Between high school social activities and entrance exams, she'll have no time to compete in the martial art she loves most, but putting aside old hobbies is a normal part of growing up. Still, the love of judo lingers—and it comes back full force when she meets her new classmate Towa, the girl who bested Michi in her final match! Towa wants to form a judo club at their school, but she'll need new members to get it up and running. United by their love of judo, they'll throw in their passions into the ring together and score ippon again!

Produced by Pony Canyon and made by Bakken Record. Slow season but I like martial arts so I'm hoping this one's good.

First episode January 9, 2023.

First episode is out, just watched it. The judo animation is pretty good and the rest is pretty standard "girls do x" stuff. Seems like a fun time.

Finally caught episode 1. It rules. The budget isn't gigantic but they gave it love where it needs it. Tag yourself I'm the insufferable kendo evangelist.

episode 9.
its actually pretty well done that that all the stuff the girl is doing to win 3 in a row isn't all rear end pulls, you see her actually learning the stuff or experiencing it done to her in all the past episodes.

liked the parallel that the first team they went against was just like them.

I like how serious the club advisor is about injuries and not wanting kendo girl to compete since she only just started for like 2 months?

Episode 10 has some minor animation errors in terms of the marker lines on the board. (Pics show results of matches so they're spoilered)

It's most obvious in this cut


But you can see it in other cuts too where one of the circles isn't quite smoothed out

This deserves a second cour. It feels like they're just getting started

I'm assuming with two episodes left they're not going to win this match but maybe it'll just end in the middle of the tournament like Birdie Wing or that one Nanaha spin-off.

yeah, (big-ish manga/presumbale end of season spoilers) it's a little sad that the show is going to end on the 'we gave our all but got wiped by a much stronger team, we're gonna work to catch up to them' arc, but not sure what else they could have done with a one-cour adaptation. there's enough source material for another three or four seasons, which... eh, seems unlikely, but a second one would be nice.
