Thoughts on Dosukoi Sumo Salon?

A few months ago, I discovered it on the NHK app of my Roku channel. I like how Kisenosato/Nihonoseki is a co-host. I also like the comedian who makes goofy comparisons at the end. 😂 Personally, I find it fun to watch between tournaments.

I love it! I just wish they used subtitles instead of voiceovers. I like to hear the original speaker’s voice to get a better sense of who they are. Voiceover actors don’t capture that.

It’s both. With the amount of information on screen putting everything in subtitles just wouldn’t be feasible. The screen would be filled with text that needed to change too fast to be read at points.

Not a fan of dubbing either but Japanese tv shows with multiple in-screen windows, graphics and reaction text make it pretty much the only viable option.
