A fediverse-centered watch party just got underway last week: of the classic bestselling sports comedy series "Yawara! A Fashionable Judo Girl!"

Brief instructions: at 10pm ET (6pm PT) on Mondays, look here: https://live.literalgrill.com/

Long instructions:

proceedings start around 9:40pm ET with a pre-show of "Little Prince Cedie" (apparently an anime adaptation of "Little Lord Fauntleroy"?) Yawara! starts around 10pm ET.
The link https://live.literalgrill.com/ is an owncast stream, which is like the free fediverse version of twitch. It includes a chat interface so you can discuss the stream with others.
edit: see the announcement here for more info: https://livetweety.wordpress.com/
last week we watched the first three episodes so you haven't missed much though if you want you can watch them on youtube: one, two, three.

The story centers around Yawara Inokuma, a seemingly ordinary high school girl, but her grandfather, a living judo legend, has been secretly training her since she was a child so that she can win the gold medal at the Olympic Games. But Yawara has only one desire, to have a normal life.

...

In 1990, the manga won the 35th Shogakukan Manga Award for the general category. Yawara! has over 30 million copies in circulation, making it one of the best-selling manga series of all time.

The anime, produced by Kitty Film with animation by the Madhouse studio, aired on Japanese television contemporary with Kitty's Ranma ½, but achieved higher ratings than Ranma ½, despite the latter series' being more well known outside Japan.
