I would agree that the fighting scenes are not particularly memorable, which is a significant complaint for a fighting anime. I do like the characters and the story so far, however. Especially Megumi (perhaps becuase I studied Judo, too) although Lan is growing on me, too.
I am looking forward to the rest of the show.
I'm curious if anyone else watching the show is familiar with the older series
Yawara! A Fashionable Judo Girl? It seems obvious that the creators of
Wulong were "inspired" by that classic anime (both include a reluctant young female MA prodigy, pushed on by her grandfather and followed by a young sports reporter and his photographer partner). Lots of elements are
different, too, but the similarities just seem too close to be coincidence.
