The review of this on the main page is spot on - Rise Up! is an isekai with its main themes being wrestling and animal love. What it fails to mention is the sheer absurdity with which it tackles all of this. Don't expect any grand and deep stories here. Instead, you get a main character suplexing the princess who summoned him to another world. You get a pack of three-headed hounds being defeated because a masked Japanese wrestler gave the alpha belly scratches. You get the same princess devolving into a masochist because she kept getting her back revealed to the entire kingdom by the main character. It showcases every aspect of wrestling from merchandise to rivalries to training, all because the main character just wants to open a pet shop already and no one understands his love for animals. It's absurd, and I loved every second of it. Go enjoy it already!

Pukeonthestreet6 February 2021Unexpected and hilarious. Something nice to watch during these crazy times. Comedy and cuteness and wrestling and of course attractive people because it's anime.

trcky113 November 2020Pretty straightforward, simple story, but pretty fun with the ridiculous love for animals and beasts. Stays true to its wrestling roots with the fighting moves and spectacle.

noefaz8117 November 2023OH MY GOSH! They go against everyone's expectations. No one understands what the other is saying and misconceptions as well as miscommunication is hilarious. I keep getting surprised cause I'm expecting a poor sexual inuendo joke and they do the opposite and vice versa. The Japanese people are complete perverts but this show is just the basics and funny. I expected it have a romantic aspect but lol wow I'm Cracking up at how dumb these wrestlers and most characters act. It's opposite reaction to everything. I didn't think I would like it as much as I have. Aggressively dumb comedy. Wish there was more and I'm saying this before finishing all the season.

tarasska19 February 2020Do not expect much from this series. There's no characters or story development whatsoever, but this animation is nevertheless enjoyable. It's a cocktail of little bit of everything. You'll find lots of well drawn pro wrestling action, fantasy world premises and characters, animal love, friendship, silliness, healthy dose of non offensive fan service, even some money management suggestions. There's no major antagonist, and minor ones are not evil or scary. If by any chance you've watched How Heavy Are The Dumbbells You Are Lifting? and liked it, you may very well enjoy this one. It's less motivating, but more entertaining. It's the very first series made by ENGI studio (KADOKAWA subdivision) and I think they made a great start.

ceojonathanmontgomery24 March 2023Seriously why are the two humans from earth the biggest idiots in this show? The main character has to be one of the worse main characters in anime I have seen. He is a complete idiot. The show is so stupid it is funny enough to watch. So watch it but not because it has a great story but for the fact it is so stupid it is worth watching. I mean seriously what kind of person is so stupid they are summoned to a new world and immediately suplex the princesses simply for asking you to slay a creature. Then her goes around sniffing animals butts and attacking anyone who bad mouths and animal. Are Japanese people really into animals like this guy is? If so then that is extremely weird. Again the show is stupid but worth watching because it's so stupid. I do love how to wolf girl always after the idiot beats up the main heroes just happens to find a new sword every time. She is essentially stealing from the heroes every time which is funny.

mccoybrian-4565019 June 2022Trust me, if you wanna laugh fr, then watch this stuff......it's good for your health, trust meπππ I even signed up to IMDB for it.
Just realised that a review needs more than 150 characters.
Don't focus too much on the bad rating, which for some reason i dunno why they gave it a 6.....
I'm a guy who prefers quality over quantity and a guy who loves ONLY the best animes.....so try it. -
This anime is just about okay, there are few things I don't like though
1. The hero summoned shows no common sense of how the world he is from functions. He is obsessed with animals like a 5 years old, doesn't want to work or make money. Ironically he was a wrestler from the original world, if that is true then why did he get in to wrestling and even better why could he not live the non-working life in that world?
2. The whole pet shop ordeal sounds like a 5 year old's vision, when he doesn't know how to make his dreams a reality.
The anime is pure silliness, also there is profound panty show in this series like never seen before.
So as you see its a 5 year old's personality as a hero, showing the perverted world every girl's panties. May be this convention is so big in the Japanese world anime. I'm not a fan of this anime theme.
Can you imagine if the western world starts to make anime with man bulges in their pants for every single anime series? We could see Japanese anime writers going insecure really soon if that where true.
Over working office employees comes back home to get some ecstasy and comical relief from this type of anime perhaps, or may be that's what the writer of this anime thinks....who knows. -
ginobeans31 March 2022I found the premise to be stupid, bordering nonsensical. But the writing was smart, witty, and a lot of fun to watch!
Ended up binge watching it. An enjoyable way to kick back, relax, and briefly forget about the outside world, for a little while..
