Summary:
It is a divine ritual, a martial art, a combat sport—it's sumo!! A "small" new student, Ushio Hinomaru, appears before the weak little sumo club of Oodachi High School! The words "big" and "heavy" are the rules to this sport, which does not fit this newbie any inch, but this guy goes and does what...?! Ushio and the small sumo club climbs its way to the top! The goal is Hinoshita Kaisan! (a title for the highest rank in professional sumo, equivalent of Yokozuna) A fired up high school sumo tale—no retakes allowed!! *Hinoshita Kaisan - A title for the highest rank in professional sumo, equivalent of Yokozuna.

My gripe with the show is its poor and somewhat inconsistent animation as well as uninteresting side characters on Hinomaru's team, The opposing rivals are very interesting on the other hand.
Definitely give it a whirl if you're a anisports fanatic, it'll prolly be time well spent. (show less)
