I watched this on a whim since it appeared on netflix home page and i've allways like japan and its culture.
The audio dubbing is annoying, the characters can be two dimensional, storylines can be transparent and stereotypical. Yet it somehow works. The vivid images, the cinematography, the juxtaposition between violence and tranquility enchants. I loved it.
The series looks on track for a 2nd season, hopefully it will follow more of the other sumo characters we're introduced to. The focus is on the hero, however the back stories of the secondary characters is often more interesting. I would try watching in original Japanese with English subtitles.
