Watch Sumo Do, Sumo Don't (2022– ) User Reviews

An Enjoyable Romp Into The Intriguing Sport of Sumo

[tabuno · 8/10 · 23 December 2022]

A ten-episode series about a college-level Japanese sumo club, headlined by Rikka Ihara as Honoka Oba who plays a fascinating character as an introverted girl almost entirely focused on sumo. This is an entertaining, culturally, and educationally intriguing series providing insight into a mysterious Japanese sport mostly unknown in America. There is a great balance of humor and drama that is never overstated and provides an illuminating insight into the goodness of the Japanese character. With a relatively low-key but consistently captivating storyline, Sumo Do, Sumo Don't offers up a pleasant easy-to-watch (with subtitles) enjoyable experience worth seeing.

Awesome series

Man, I really enjoyed this series. A reboot of a 1992 movie of the same name (and including some of the same actors), it's about the trials and tribulations of a down-and-out university sumo club. It's about sumo, but it's also about friendship, perseverance, finding your place in the world, coming of age, and sportsmanship. It's laugh out loud funny, and it's really moving. You'll fall in love with the main characters, and probably their opponents, too (they're no cartoon villains). You'll definitely fall in love with Japanese culture. Perfectly cast and brilliantly acted. Hoping to see a second season.
