I don't think spoiler tags are even necessary for this show. It knows what it wants to be and does so in the most transparent way possible. What is there to spoil? The story? Pffftt HAHAHAHA

Kazama wasn't being hypocritical. Her assertion was that wrestlers were superior at wrestling, and that no mere idol with their training could compete in Kazama's venue. She never said that she herself could do anything an idol could do. Only that idols had no business challenging her to a fight. That said, professional dancers go through a lot of stamina, agility, and strength training and any prominent star would be much better than an average person to take on martial arts training if they were so inclined. It would be more a mental challenge than a physical one -- professional fighters in their arena could do a newcomer in without breaking a sweat. As was amply demonstrated in the anime. The real puzzle is why someone didn't put a stop the the Sakura fight in the first place. The promoters must have realized what was going to happen, and such a one sided outcome certainly wasn't going to help their ticket sales except for that one match. As it worked out it was the right move after all because Sakura called for a rematch as a pro, which Kazama accepted. The promoters couldn't have known that would happen, but that is exactly the kind of situation they would script to build up to a big show-down with lots of ticket sales. That pro-wrestling shop will end up owing Sweet Diva big time. Final thought: those crotch shots. I feel like I need to go wash my face. |

I really do hope the fanservice gets cranked up even more as we go along.
Don't care how bad the story is or how repetitive the scenes are... the art is pretty darn good. And I would totally rewatch it dubbed if some top tier English voice actresses have some fun with it. |

That being the case, my I respectfully suggest that next time you watch the show, you refrain from slobbering your monitor quite so enthusiastically? 
Here's an actual photo of HaruhiToy enjoying Wanna be's sublime thematic charms: 
- photo credit goes to the recently banned Rhyono One thing I forgot to mention about things I liked was that I felt that the "villainess" actually had a legitimate viewpoint. The girls were being somewhat dismissive about wrestling so I kinda get where she was coming from. I also like the fact that she didn't actually cause any physical damage. I was worried the plot was going to be that she'd break Sakura's leg or something and as a result Sakura would have no choice but to retire from being idol. I'm a lot happier that it was Sakura's own choice to ask for a rematch and that being idol was still an option if she wanted it to be. |

What the hell did I just watch? Tits, ass and crotch shots coupled with screaming and crying. Oh yeah and then there was some wrestling as well.
Anyway, so after her crippling defeat and being utterly humiliated, she decides to go pro. I can't see this ending well at all, but I doubt that I'll be around to see how it turns out to be honest if the show keeps focusing on how much pain poor Sakura is in whilst combining it with as many shots of her crotch and tits as is humanly possible. |

If you think about it, the show is not all that different to Free.

Wait, what? In what way? You mean from a fanservice point of view or the story in the sense that someone is inspired to become the best after suffering a (crippling) defeat?

Sports anime that have a large focus on fanservice shots? Or the defeat thing being a major drive, although she was slightly less douchie so far compared to Rin.
We just need some yuri moments. But where are we going to find that in a wrestling anime which has girls grab each other. |

Putting aside Variable Geo and Ring-Out: Professional Lesring, which were actual hentai series, I can't think of very many wrestling series with real yuri in them. Wow. What untapped potential.
If they were concerned with playing it safe they could just do a show where a male wrestler gets genderswapped and is forced to go to the women's circuit. |

I wouldn't say that exactly. It would be closer if WBTSITW only ever had brief scenes of "woah hot girls in tight wrestling outfits" and not going all the way to zooming in on a girl's very defined crotch, and of course the breast grabbing shower scenes and excessive hentai moaning. |

Training sequences were fairly bonerific. Although why Sakura was running in a track suit instead of bikini is beyond me.
GO, SAKURA, GO!!! |

We can always count on you in times like these to get to the high level essence. Actually I think they are doing a good job presenting how hard a road Sakura has taken. Definitely a good move to have spoiler[her not win her first match.] What seems to be a bit confusing is it seems her coach Ryo is being harder on Sakura than she would be the other girls. The extras spend a lot of their screen time amazed at how much punishment Sakura is taking. And on top of that they had her cleaning toilets? What's up with that? Aside from the torture side of it I thought it might be interesting if they showed someone teaching actual wrestling moves. That's what made Kenichi Mightiest Disciple so good is they actually present some martial arts. Here it is all just sweat and strain. That's going to hurt the rating of the anime and it is hard to see how Sakura is ever going to improve. |

that wasn't nearly as uncomfortable as the first episode was.
what I want to know is, just how many members of Sweet Diva are there. That stage has dozens of girls but we only ever see 5 |
