I expect this series to be a big gateway for mainstream media and western viewers to gain a greater picture and respect for the art of sumo (as it did me!)
Aside from being a great representative of Sumo, its also a pretty damn good drama too! Aside from a few moments of overacting and cringeworthy gross-out humour, the series takes itself relatively seriously and has some good twists throughout.
Hilariously enough the choreography is also highly realistic and pretty great! The dub suffers from Squidgame-itus, so I'd recommend the sub.
This series was a pleasant surprise and I'd highly recommend it. Both as an entry point for those curious about Sumo, and already existing fans!
