Well, some lucky squirrel dodged a knuckle sandwich.

Dragging out Sakura's winless streak to six eppies was just way too long, imo. I stuck with the show, but it left a bad taste in my mouth. I'll finish it, but there is absolutely no way I'll ever re-watch. I think if anyone even mentions the word crab I'll break out in hives.

The only parts I'm going to rewatch are the censored scenes, because there's definitely no chance of this getting a dub.

I should be taking notes of episode numbers and times... hmmm...

I know that I'm really late on this since I haven't been looking at this thread at all, but here you go Blood-

I haven't seen really all that much censoring in this stream -- not like High School DxD or something like that. The story itself is pretty weak so I don't have much motivation to buy the media.

Speaking of ecchi stuff, I find it odd that nobody -- either in the story or the audience here -- takes much issue with Sakura's rather risqué wrestling outfit. She's basically naked from the clavicles to the pubic area and it stretches (pun) the imagination that all those submission holds haven't popped her oppai into full view. Wouldn't it be a scandal if a real life idol wore something like that?

Oh, no doubt there were protests, but the anime's decision to broadcast 56 hours of Boston Crab footage didn't leave time to show them.

I haven't watched it yet(heard of it), but I'm a big wrestling fan. Is there any big promos(or promos) at all in this show so far? All I've heard about this show is that the main character only does the Boston Crab, which is lame, since the move is like 50 years old or something. What next? A crossbody? A running splash? This sounds lame, but I MIGHT check it out due to my wrestling love.

no, she gets put into Boston Crabs endlessly. do yourself a favor and avoid this unless crotch shots and Ayana Taketatsu moaning erotically in pain is a turn on

Episode 7:

It looks like they are trying o make story out of it and I'm glad to see that this anime is one of those that improve during the season. They've dialed back on the fan service which is a good sign. They even served up a pretty good "eeeeeeeh!!?" moment at the end there.

How Typical: Business is one cancellation away from bankruptcy at all times. Great management there.

Pro Tip: When your teammate is injured, run around the ring to see where she fell and stand at least six feet away at all times. Watch her writhe.

Second Pro Tip: When reaching for the rope, make sure your hand hovers over it for at least 5 seconds before grabbing it. You must give your opponent the chance to drag you away. It is only fair.

Toning down the already mediocre fanservice made the show worse. I want boobs flopping all over the place!

I'm not sure what to think of this little development. Sakura is most likely going to go through more hellish training, and we'll end up getting even more Boston Crabs and nothing but Ayana Taketatsu training to be a hentai voice actress.

So were there any promos in this episode? Were there any good moves in this? If it's just Boston Crabs and people with no charisma/mic skills and moaning from the girl who did K-On, then I don't know what to say.

I don't get what you mean by promos, but there were various moves performed in this recent episode. I dont follow wrestling so I'm relying on the announcer in the show, and she pointed out some lariats, and a figure-four. there's a lot of kicking going on as well

@getchman Promos are where they(the wrestlers) give a talk about something relating to them in front of a crowd. E.G CM Punk is considered one of the best talkers in WWE, due to his charisma and how he delivers his promos, not to mention the subject matters at hand.

Has that happened in this show? It's good that more moves are happening rather than some shitty submission from the 1900s. The figure four is nearly 100 years old too, so it's sad they keep on doing moves from the early 20th century, rather than newer moves like the Shinning Wizard or the Burning Hammer.
