This is a Japanese animated TV series about a girl, named Yawara Inokuma, who has been raised since birth to be a Judo champion. This is probably the only TV series in existence that is about Judo.

There is an American company named Animeigo that is looking into purchasing the rights to translate this series into English and distribute it in the United States. A fan-driven petition drive has been ongoing to help persuade Animeigo to go ahead with the project. The web page for the petition is at:

Check it out. If it looks like something you'd want to see released in the U.S., please sign the petition. I've seen a few episodes and I like it myself.
