Tiger Mask W (TV)

Genres: tournament
Themes: sports, wrestling

Plot Summary: Naoto Azuma is 21 years old and formerly a trainee of the Jipang Pro Wrestling team, until the wrestling team Global Wrestling Monopoly (GWM) destroyed their dojo. His friend Takuma Fujii's father was gravely injured as a result. Together, Naoto and Takuma take up the mantles of "Tiger Mask" and "Tiger the Dark" to defeat "The Tiger's Hole," which manipulates GWM. Naoto vows to destroy the group while Takuma joins The Tiger Hole to dismantle it from within.

Episode 1:

As a wrestling fan, I'm pretty satisfied with the show so far.

It didn't waste much time with the fast pacing and getting straight to the action especially in the ring. Plus, we got a good amount of moves shown. Characters seems interesting so far and this actually felt like watching a classic action movie. Hopefully we'll learn more about the characters as they may have a complex history.

Even Miss X seems to be an interesting character Wink

The animation felt very Ashita No Joe-esque at times. which was a nice touch.

So this is like a world where the story in wrestling is the real deal and is as serious?

Twisted Evil The bara yaoi is going to get serious. The opening already showed a ton of "interesting" angles and "techniques."

Ahhhhhhh, that was a nice, bracing shot of testosterone. If the cast of Tiger Mask W wrestled against the cast of Wanna Be the Strongest in the World, I wonder which side would win? Anyway, this looks like it will be a great cheesy, campy dose of fun each week. I'm in.
