hey, i'm taking mental notes on what Keijoh does that QB and Ikkitousen did worse. If it continues to hit all the right notes, you just might see a smaller essay on the topic after all is said and done. So the weirdness factor is a non-issue here  .

Keijo!!!!!!!! strikes the right balance between comedy and fanservice and even if remove all that it is still a good sports anime where the characters grow during classes, and during tournaments.
The name of the special attacks are just hilarious. Still im surprised as how well it is been received outside the expected fan-base. The only point i didn't liked was they removed the first part of the manga story. Maybe some parts will appear as flashbacks. |

The power to undress girls is an ancient harem mc art. |

Kotaku is a freaking joke, and their staunch disapproval is the reason I decided I needed to watch this show in the first place. And for someone who normally rolls their eyes at fanservice fests, this stuff is pretty darn entertaining. |

For those who got confused about Ujibe appearing at the end of the first episode, this episode was kind of like a flashback until we got to that part, which is a little weird and out of place but it's not as if the thick part in Keijo was its plot...I love these jokes.
And as far as we know, Nozomi has been building such harem. Miyata best girl. Talking about Miyata, it's really funny to me that she has the same last name as Miyata Ichirou, Ippo's rival in the boxing manga and anime Hajime no Ippo. Probably this episode was the least inspired of the two, with very lackluster ideas in storyboarding except for the part the mock race part, and there are cases in which even the fanservice was better in the manga. |

Funny considering that spoiler[Miyata's next opponent makes use of a phenomenal that happens quite often in the boxing sport] |

During all the content the anime skipped you'll get to know that spoiler[the MC has background in gymnastics, and she even ditched an offer for athletics college to do something else..which eventually became keijo. Her partner/friend did the same with judo.] Most of the players seem to have a background in some kind of sport. So why wouldn't they look the part? |

I'm not really convinced being more muscular would be an advantage. Wrestlers are muscular because there is grappling involved. Someone mentioned weight classes, but I'm not sure that is entirely applicable here. We're talking about young japanese girls so you aren't going to see the big deviation in weight you see in say boxing. There is also the nature of the sport. The platform is not only unstable, but small and wet. A more muscular girl could put more power into those butt attacks, but by their nature they basically have all the girls weight behind them already which should be plenty to cause a loss of balance on slick, unstable footing with a good hit. Yeah the fat teacher just took one this episode, but that isn't super realistic seeing as how she didn't even brace herself (not that the show is suppose to be super realistic, but we're talking about their body types not being realistic so...). Makes sense to me that balance and mobility are generally better assets. |

The small platform is only one of the multiple platforms in Keijo . You have multiple platforms connected by bridges, and alsospoiler[ ropes, jungle gym, airplanes side by side, even a sinking Japanese castle.]Depending of the body type and sports background you will have vantage in some platforms and disadvantage on others. That's why strategy and knowledge in dealing with any kind of platform or adversary is so important. If there were only 1 or 2 types of platform, Keijo would become too repetitive from a audience point of view. Its the unknown of what platform comes next and how the athletes will deal with it, that makes Keijo so interesting. |

This is the most fun anime of the season for me after Jojo, and I'm enjoying every minute of it. Who knew a show about swimming pool butt-sumo would be this engaging, and give Haikyuu a run for its money in terms of hot-blooded shonen-ness.

It sounds like you misunderstood me slightly, but in the process you wrote a rather good reply to the one I replied to. "wouldn't" was italicized to emphasize that word, Iow, I was saying, why wouldn't most of them be slender and whatnot considering most of them have a background in sports. Especially when you consider that most of the sports they've been doing (gymnastics, judo, etc) seem to be those that won't neccessarily build alot of visible muscles, but where weight management etc also is part of the package for different reasons, such as mobility, weight classes, etc. The MC even has a background in spoiler[gymnastics]..which would be a fair reason to look like a gymnast. |

I'm suspecting there is no male-Keijo due to the risk of accidental ballbusting

So it's sumo...only you only use your boobs and butt, and compete over a pool, and somehow this didn't end up in the same basket of failed sports as Slamball and X-Arm.
I have so many questions. Are there weight classes? Age limits? What's a legal target? Dammit this makes Quidditch look simple. |

Honestly I only watched the first ep because I just needed to see how exactly the sport worked with its rule and I found myself agreeing and watching more. It was actually pretty humorous and despite being fanservice, it didn't feel over the top fanservice (at least, not anymore than Free! really). That and both the white-haired and pink-haired girls seemed interesting to me. |
