Air Master needs a full-on remake, a story with a solid ending. Heck, they could just make movies that take off from the end of the show. I finally watched this trailer, and I'm wondering if it's going to be more about boobs or "fighting spirit." |

It's hard to say how seriously they're going to take the "wrestling" part of this series, but the clip isn't quite as pointless as it seems at first glance.
Sakura is not "pinned" (which has a very specific meaning in wrestling) but is rather trapped in a submission hold called a Boston crab. (Wikipedia trivia: "In Japan, it is commonly used as a hold to defeat young and inexperienced wrestlers; the ability to overcome the hold is considered a sign of growth.") Through the clip, Sakura's dragging herself (and her opponent on top of her) towards the ropes; if she can grab the ropes, by rule her opponent will be forced to break the hold. I was expecting her narration to be a voiceover, though. I cracked up when she actually stopped in the middle of her escape attempt and talked to the camera. |

So we got the formula, 15 minutes of talking heads, 8 minutes of moaning and 1 minute of "hey, I know I can do it". well, I suppose someone will watch this and maybe it will be well done (atm it is anyone guess if the animation will be better than that of the preview), but it is not my cup of tea and I suspect it will not be the next Attack on Titan. |

I don't think anyone expects that of even high profile series. |

I agree that female pro wrestling in Japan is better than it is here in North America, but I disagree with the technical aspect. Kurt Angle, AJ Styles, Samoa Joe, Austin Aries, Jeff Jarrett are great technical wrestlers in TNA alone. Then there's CM Punk, Daniel Bryan, Chris Jericho, Natalya, Antonio Cesaro, Alberto Del Rio, who are great technical wrestlers as well from WWE. BTW, do NOT fool all pro wrestling promotions in North America for WWE and to a lesser extent TNA. The indies treat wrestling as a sport. Also, as JP wrestling has greatly influenced US/Canadian wrestling, the same applies vice versa. Also, all professional wrestling is entertainment. It's just that in Japan they try to make it look more legit, but it's wrong to say the Japanese take wrestling more seriously than North Americans. I'd say it's the reverse, actually. |

Well, there are high expectations since is the first anime adaptation from a series in Comic Earth Star magazine that is not 6 minutes long and they have hired some well known seiyuus, director and character designer. Worst case scenario this crash and burns and there will be no anime with any kind athletic females for several years. "best" case scenario this is a moderate hit and there will be another moan-fest anime within the year. This is a lose-lose situation unless you are part of the specific demographic (i.e. I have watched quite a bit of animes with lolis in them even tough lolis are definetively not one of my fetishes) this show is aimed towards. |

So I reluctantly clicked on the YouTube link, and got this:
Well, I guess that tells me everything I needed to know... |

I guess submission holds now count as sexual content

Well, it's female professional wrestling. What else do you expect? It's an accurate, albeit slightly exaggerated, portrayal of the event--yes they do use the costumes, the same moves, and groan and scream in the real life version too. I don't think you extrapolate this to other types of shows or sports in general. |

Let's be brutally clear, I do not mind larger than life cleavage, fancy costumes, flashy moves, groans and screams, I grew up watching movies in TV with El Santo and Blue Demon. But when they say "most fainting-in-agony female professional wrestling anime ever" and after looking at the preview, we can no doubt expect an all you can eat moan-fest buffet, this is all about hearing in stereo how a female feels pain with as much detail as the voice actress can deliver and that is why I will not see the series, albeit I do not wish it to fail miserably since that would cripple the possibility of another (and hopefully better) anime series with athletic females. |

Lets just say you are putting way more weight on this than is deserved. Also I can basically guarantee it will do mediocre. |
