This is my favorite Anime. It has a very good plot.
You don't see all kinds of fantasy/Sci-Fi stuff going on in this series. What you do see is the life of a young teenaged girl who is struggling with her grandfather's desire for her to be an Olympic Judo Champion, while she wants to only be a teenaged girl.
The Characters in this series are very good and the story keeps you hanging on for more. Yawara is very loveable, too.
One thing to note that when this show was airing in Japan, it aired during the same timeslot as Ranma 1/2 and beat it in ratings.
GREAT SERIES
