Comment on Sumo community tournament relaunch!

If anyone’s interested in sumo but doesn’t know where to start, I recently watched Shiko Funjatta! (Sumo Do, Sumo Don’t!) and really enjoyed it. It’s a lighthearted show about the struggle of keeping a very old college sumo club running in the modern era. Serves as a very cool intro to the sport, but it also has great drama and an excellent cast.

I love that series! I’ve watched it twice!
Did you know there was an earlier movie with the same name that’s a prequel to that? It’s kind of hard to find, but there’s a video on youtube of a couple drunk Texas sumotori watching that movie. (it takes them 5 minutes to figure out how to run the movie lel). The video was copyright-stricken in the US and Canada, but you can still see it if you’re in another country or have a VPN: youtu.be/Aij5PTNHdvY?t=290

Yes! I haven’t watched the movie, but apparently a few of the older cast members on the show were also in the movie. I’ll definitely check it out!
