With a box office flop and almost no lasting buzz, this one could be a tough watch. Keep your phone handy.
Based on critics, audiences, awards, box office and buzz. Details below.Is it for you?
- Who'll love it
- One for anime fans and anyone who loves an underdog. The sport matters, but the people playing it matter more. If you loved The First Slam Dunk or The Hustler, start here.
- The mood
- Funny with heart, romantic.
- The pace
- Lively and easy to follow, at 1 hr. An easy one to fit in on a school night.
- What might put you off
- No age rating on record, so check it first for young kids.
- It's in Japanese, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
- Skip it if you can't get past animation (your loss).
Yawara helps a group of timid grade school kids overcome their fears and compete in a judo competition.
