The series is ecchi, which makes most viewers' eyebrows rise before end of the first epissode. So series contains a lot of titties and panty shots. But its is also much more. The characters are likable and the comedy works. Many times I found myself chuckling out loud at some joke or absurd event. The women are also beautiful and although the ecchi is offered too much sometimes, most of the time it is nice to watch. Series also does not require much brain work and is easy to put on after a hard day at work. 7-8/10 among ecchi anime.

This show is one of those titles that's actually frustrating to watch.
First of all, let me preface this by saying, I don't accept "it's just an ecchi, temper your expectations" because there's plenty of series in the genre that are competent or even really good. Genre is no excuse for phoning it in on the effort.
My biggest gripe with this show is that for a show that makes pro wrestling the main focus, it does a piss poor job portraying anything even resembling the sport aside from the fact that they're in a ring.
The ref is constantly slacking on their duty for no reason whatsoever, counting bad, not calling rope breaks, not stopping interference, etc. If someone attacked with a sword, and the ref sees, should be a DQ, not a "you have 5 seconds to stop breaking the rules but you ca…

It's bad.
Let's keep things simple, other people have already left thesis length reviews if you want something that in depth.
Should you watch this anime? Probably not. Only under some very niche circumstances would I recommend it.
Are you looking for a sports anime with cute girls? There are way better options out there with better storytelling and pacing. Are you looking for an ecchi anime? Let's be honest, with a cover and tags/rating like that 99% of you reading this will be. There are TONS of better ecchi anime out there. The pacing and storytelling in this series is absolutely mediocre. Yes it has boobs and butts galore, and two or three incredibly brief nip shots, but it's just not worth having to watch through this for that.
So what's my main issue with this series? As you may h…

I have mixed feeling about this anime. It was both hilariously bad, but also very endearing and exciting.
Story 9/10
First, let me just point the good parts about this anime's story.
Despite being super ecchi, this anime is a good underdog story and sports anime, in general. Especially in the final episode, I found myself really cheering for Sakura and shouting "you can do it" at my screen. Also, I'm not a fan of pro-wrestling in real life, but it does seem like the creators did some research into the sport and the fights are well choreographed with moves like the Boston crab hold, the spider hold, and the flying moon press.
Now, let me point out the reasons why I found this anime hilariously stupid.
So the premise is Sakura is a member of an idol group called Sweet Diva, but afte…

“This is more than just a simple match; this is real drama and real excitement! I dare say it’s the finest form of entertainment in the entire world” – Mariko “Jackal” Toujou, in regards to the final fight in the series.
Dear Mariko, fuck off. Matter of fact, to everyone that was a part of the creation of this show, fuck off! This kind of shit is the reason why the general public sees anime as either for children or as some kind of sick animated porn, that probably includes tentacles. The latter is mainly due to the use of ecchi within anime shows. For those of you who don't know, ecchi is a genre in anime where playfully sexual actions are present within a show. I personally don’t see ecchi as completely bad, as I have seen shows that have successfully integrated fan-service and lewd act…

OK, you might think that this show is all about oppais, well, you are wrong, cause, it is all about panty shots... The camera, the art direction, is all about to take the best panty shot on the screen, it have breasts? Yep, but, it almost doesn't count, cause there's some minors breast shots on the bathroom...
Ok, now you ask, why the heck am i speaking only about the fanservice... Cause there's no story, a atletic idol wanna be the best wrestler in the world.. oO omg... That's so bad, as bad as some twists in the story, but, the characters at least they are all charismatic, if you get past the story, stupid character decisions, lame fanservice, you have a shot on enjoying this show.
But, we have some good things about it too, the main character is driven, a very strong female, as the fig…

The first thing I would like to say is that while one of this show's genres is ecchi, it has much more than just that to offer. Don't get me wrong- this show delivers on the ecchi and there is plenty of it to enjoy. That being said I feel this show stands out as a masterpiece even if you don't like ecchi. Let me explain why I feel that way...
Story: 10
This show at its core is a story about passionate people who fight through pain and hardships to do what they love. This is a story of overcoming all the odds and chasing dreams. Pro wrestlers in real life experience many hardships and the story pulls no punches on those realities. You get to see their struggles in and outside the ring and the story makes you really feel for the cast. This makes the matches extremely exciting beyond a techni…

This is an ecchi show. You are forewarned if you don't like to see boobs bouncing. Proceed at your own risk.
Now, if ecchi doesn't bother you, and you like stories with character developments, you might just find this story a surprise sleeper waiting to be discovered.
The premise of the story actually has a lot more in common with titles like Slam Dunk, Haikyuu, etc (it is about sports after all) than with what we generally think of as ecchi. Sakura, our protagonist, decides to join pro wrestling on a whim after her profession - idol - and friend were abused/ridiculed by a pro wrestler.
As fake as pro wrestling may seem, it takes incredible talent and hard work to perform, and our protagonists was quickly abused of her naive notions. Her perseverance to take on the obstacles is the jou…

Every medium has its highs and its lows. That is, most things contain good, bad, and everything in between. This can be applied to things such as, say, pop-star idols and wrestling. But what happens when you combine the worst of both of those worlds? What you get is an astonishing piece of work. Wanna Be The Worst Anime In -- oh, sorry. Wanna Be The Strongest In The World! is this combination, and it is the worst piece of entertainment my eyes have ever witnessed.
STORY
Strongest stars Sakura, a "Sweet Diva" idol who joins the pro wrestling scene in order to protect and avenge the honor of her fellow dancers and singers.
Tagged as "ecchi," it should come as no surprise that the show focuses quite a bit on the fan-service. The show depicts t…

The synopsis of this anime involves an Idol who wants to start pro wrestling due to an insult from a professional wrestler. The idol accepts the challenge and is brutally defeated, only then swearing to defeat this fighter by becoming a professional wrestler.
This Idol then takes on the rigorous training for several months and finally makes her debut fight which either wins or loses im not sure, but then proceeds to lose over 50 consecutive fights by the same exact hold. The boston crab which gives us plenty of fanservice and moaning for several episodes.
Considering you are a professional wrestler you can probably only take 2 matches a week or even 3 at the max. Losing those matches over and over again makes me wonder what the fuck was our Main Character doing for half a year. Losing…

Ecchi shows these days are a dime a dozen, and when it comes to a studio known for such works as Samurai Girls and Queen's Blade, people don't get their hopes high for a tight narrative and endearing characters. Shows very clearly labeled as ecchi and marketed as softcore porn for blu-ray buyers from the outset are practically guaranteed to get negative reviews and low scores across the board for their entire duration.
Most deserve it. But not all of them do.
Here we have Wanna Be the Strongest in the World, aka Sekai de Ichiban Tsuyoku Naritai, a show with a title so generic it would make shounen magazines cry, but with a rather unexpected execution. Yep, that's right: I'm here to say that this show is actually...kind of good.
Speaking of shounen magazines and manga, the story of this…

What exactly do I think about Sekai de Ichiban Tsuyoku Naritai?
Well, to be frank, I was going to drop the series after just watching the 1st episode. It was nothing special and the only thing that stood out was the sexy girls with all the fan servicing. That was the only reason I continued onto the series to see their stuff bouncing while they were fighting.
I really started to hate the protagonist with all his giving up. It is very rare where you see the protagonist giving up all the time in an anime.
That sucked a lot but the fan service...wow!!! Until episode 5, the series would be rated between 5 and 6 by me. But guess what? Episode 6 changed that. This fight was awesome and now I see some potential and the fan service is already there to double it up.
We have seen many anime w…

ITAI! ITAI! ITAI!!!!!! Ok, enough of Sakura's "ITAI" monologue. So, leave it to them Japanese when they wanna come out something usual and exaggerate it..in be it in Manga or Anime....Ok so I haven't read the manga, and I probably won't...except skim over the fanservice. Co'z frankly that what I've been doing since this anime was shown. Frankly, this anime can be compared to one of those mix wrestling porn videos, where it involves FBB's doing some choreographed wrestling and choking of the guys, also this anime is somewhat of a crush video as well since we do see the main character Sakura getting crush a lot and that is basically what this anime is. Tbh, watching WWE Divas is more exciting than this crush anime, however I can't deny that this anime has a musical element in it since it fea…

Do you like breasts? Of course you do, you wouldn't be watching anime if you didn't. Do you like wrestling? Doesn't matter, have some more breasts.
Sekai De Ichiban Tsuyoku Naritai (Sekatsuyo for short) is a story about breasts. Sentient breasts with butts attached for panty shots. Two pairs of terrific titties stop by to watch other bodacious boobies bounce around in a wrestling ring. One pair of breasts gets rankled and gives a dropkick to another pair, setting off a string of wacky adventures in the world of foxy wrestling.
Sakura, the main character, has her personality summed up entirely in the show's title (spoiler: she wants to be the strongest in the world). The others have about as much depth as they do cleavage. There's the mean one, the wise one, the spunky one, the rival, the…

Not bad,not bad at all.
Wanna be the Strongest in the World! or Sekai de Ichiban Tsuyoku Naritai! is a Japanese manga by ESE and Kiyohito Natsuki. The story follows Sakura Hagiwara, a pop idol and member of an idol group known as Sweet Diva that impulsively decides to turn into a pro-wrestler in order to avenge another fellow Sweet Diva member who got a beating from a female wrestler.
For an anime with a shallow and exploitable premise it does a respectable job with it's storytelling. An idol becoming a female wrestler seems like a project that can be incompetently executed or just vulgar fanservice bait but it turns out rather well. In the span of 12 episodes this series is straightfoward, evenly paced and reaches a nice conclusion. It has all the fundamentals you'd find in any other go…

Sekai de Ichiban Tsuyoku Naritai (or SekaTsuyo for short) is another inspiring sports show, but cleverly disguised as a trashy ecchi show about girls getting close and personal. This season has seen several of these, like the new season of Hajime no Ippo or Yowamushi Pedal which gives the viewer anime's take on competitive cycling.
The story's focus is largely on the main character, Hagiwara Sakura and the challenges facing her each episode. Most of the time it flows smoothly but the pacing of the actual fights range from okay to poor. The fights don't offer much in the way of surprises and feel too staged and forced, especially when the patterns start to repeat and you begin to notice that the fighters seem to take turns beating on each other. The choreography itself is decent, the moves…

Everything about this was terrible. The story could have had a chance, but it didn't.
The art/artstyle is plain and boring All of the characters look the same, same bodies, same faces, given obvious changes like hair, or eye colour.
The sound was mediocre at best, the voice acting was dreadful. I was asking myself why I didn't drop it after episode 3. Episode 4 felt like driving a screwdriver through my ears and into my skull. If I wanted to listen to painful moans I'd watch some terrible porn, which would still be better than this. In acting, story, characters, and enjoyment.
Overall, it's a dreadful watch with nothing going for it, except large tits and fanservice. Which can be fine and all, but that's all this tries to have going for it, which doesn't cut it. 2/10, the soundtrack was ge…
