What the heck am I watching?

Warning: Spoilers
The review of this on the main page is spot on - Rise Up! is an isekai with its main themes being wrestling and animal love. What it fails to mention is the sheer absurdity with which it tackles all of this. Don't expect any grand and deep stories here. Instead, you get a main character suplexing the princess who summoned him to another world. You get a pack of three-headed hounds being defeated because a masked Japanese wrestler gave the alpha belly scratches. You get the same princess devolving into a masochist because she kept getting her back revealed to the entire kingdom by the main character. It showcases every aspect of wrestling from merchandise to rivalries to training, all because the main character just wants to open a pet shop already and no one understands his love for animals. It's absurd, and I loved every second of it. Go enjoy it already!
