Check-out Station: Wanna Be The Strongest in the World

If there is a higher being watching over me, then I ask them not to let me watch something this crappy again.  It feels like my guardian angel is a heavy drinker and tonight was $1 pitcher night at the pub.  I am forsaken.  This show is forsaken.  And anyone who planned and produced this series needs divine punishment.

Wanna Be The Strongest ep10: b*tch you coming home!

Sakura just can’t stop being a target, or the center of attention. Her upcoming match with Blue Panther catching all the highlights in the Japanese wrestling world (of women). The reporters are in such a fevered pitch, that they don’t even care to ask about Moe’s debut match against her mentor. They may have been missing out on a great story though, because Moe has shown that she has a lot of talent. How will she fair in her rookie debut?

Wanna Be The Strongest ep9: her first wrestling fan

Even after an action packed episode from the week before, the show is already quickly moving on, as a talented new supporting character joins the cast. Her name is Moe Fukuoka, a talented and athletic high school student who is a champion in competitive karate. Her debut almost mirrors Sakura’s in that her uninitiated, amateur hijinks in the ring are met with scorn by the other wrestlers, especially the gym bully, Rio. The difference this time around though, is that Moe is already well prepared to take care of herself, as she flattens poor Rio with one good kick when challenged. It’s starting to look like an all out rumble is about to start between her and and a few of the Berserk wrestlers before the gym’s president shows up and sees what’s going on.

Wanna Be The Strongest ep8: the art of spotting, selling and entertaining the f*ck out of your audience!

I’m impressed. Someone in this show actually knows how to sell! They know the value of entertainment in the profession of professional wrestling. And through Jackal we got a glimpse of what this shows might be capable of. Also – BUTTS! And lots of them!

Wanna Be The Strongest ep7: Gold Jackal, Blue Panther

Welp! I’m back watching this show. Believe me, if Golden Time or even Valvrave were available at the time of this post, I’d watch and talk about them instead. But someone needs to watch this show, it may as well be me. Plus, with the previous episode’s focus on action, I feel like I may be able to squeeze a little entertainment value out of this show yet. Oh who am I kidding?! This will be 22 minutes of crap!

Wanna Be The Strongest ep5 & 6: the crabs return, in force!

Never thought I’d end up writing this many words about this show.  Hell, I should throw a party just for surviving six episodes of bad wrestling and crotch shots.

Wanna Be the Strongest ep4: how to get rid of crabs

Have we finally passed this barrier, crossed this hurdle, ascended to another plane? How we finally defeated the Boston Crab?! Oh sweet merciful Jehovah! The series can move onward! Someone give me a cigar and whiskey, the pain may just be over!

Wanna Be the Strongest ep3: the next person I see in a Boston Crab is getting lit on fire

Well this is a pitiful state of affairs. This show is bad, I don’t know how much I can bear if its main character just plain sucks, too. The “eternal lead” Sakura is just awash in fail and quit as she gets tapped out of all of her matches since turning pro. It’s utterly ridiculous how she just gets taken out over and over again with the same strategy. A strategy that of course allows us to see her crotch stretched out in front of us. Geez! What lazy cinematography, even when the show thinks its winning it’s losing.

Wanna Be The Strongest ep2: a sweet pickle!

Aniblogging gods, please forgive me! It seems that I must make a decision. And that decision is to episodically blog Wanna Be The Strongest. It was not a decision I came to lightly, but apparently what this show provides, the internet somehow needs more of. And that thing is – boobies. Boobies, butts and crotch shots. I do this not for myself, but for all who come after me… and for my page views.

Check-in Station: Wanna Be the Strongest in the World ep1 (oh no! Not the Shame Hold! The humanity!)

I came into this with low expectations, so I wasn’t disappointed by this bland fanservicey show. I came. I saw crotch. I moved on.
