As you can tell, I am not Japanese and while I have visited once and I love the food, one can say I am not familiar with the culture at all.
But this popped up in my Netflix feed and I was intrigued. Sumo? interesting, while I used to think of this "sport" as basic, this show changed my mind. It is an enormous amount of hard work, pain... just like any athlete from any sport.

3 things bothered me however:
1. How can one bitter old man still manipulate a sport for personal gain in recent years is still beyond me. I understand there are traditions but this was wayyy over the top.
2. Isn't there anyone willing to go see these guys battle it out in the arena? completely empty stadium made the experience rather stale.
3. Probably one of my most disappointing endings in a show.

The whole story was a 5, execution was a 4 and the ending made it a 0. Total rewatch value? Zero as well. I know it should have had the opposite effect, but this show completely switched me off from liking this sport.
