Keijo: Anime Girls in Swimsuits Smashing into each other with their Breasts, Butts, and Faces what's more to love? Seriously, that's about it for the plot of this simpleton Tsundere Anime with Ecchi themes.
Although, I have to say that I did stay all the way until the end and it was because of more than just fan service.
Keijo does a great job with both comedy and character development, and boy are these Anime girls developed. Ahem.
Keijo had only one season, it's probably for the best.

The Plot
Keijo is about a Sumo type sports game played by college age girls that is televised and popular in this Anime universe. The object of the game is an intense battle to knock the opponent off of a platform and into the water without using your hands or feet.
There are no super powers but this one girl appears and is able to knock out opponents with a swift untraceable butt strike to the jaw. It gets a little stupid to be honest, butt... sorry... but it's still entertaining enough to watch the whole way through.
Character development and introduction of characters is done well, and we see some good pacing. The Main Character reminds me of a female version of Hinata from Haikyu in that see wants to be the best and will do anything to get there, but also lacks the skill at first.
The MC has natural talent, but quickly realizes that in order to play in the big leagues she is going to have to put in some serious work and use quick judgement.
Some Naruto like themes are used, where the main character is able to foresee an incoming butt attack and stop it with her face in just episode one. She also does a silly attack by gripping with her boobs and throwing. It's pretty punch drunk dumb comedy with fan service, I'll admit that I hate myself for liking it.
The Characters
Nozomi Kaminashi.
The Main Character who wants to be the Olympic champion and win the most money to fix her life. She has a background in gymnastics so she has some cool moves that help her get a thigh up, sorry leg up, on the competition.
Sayaka Miyata.
A former Judo Champion and fan favorite, the news crews are all over her with attention and she is also beautiful. She happens to be the best friend of the main character, Nozomi. Her parents dislike leaving Judo for this new sport, but she proves to have the greatest speed and hip throws.
Kazane Aoba
A Hiroshima native is someone who was born and raised in the city. She keeps a low profile until the final hip toss endurance test due to her shame about her accent.

Furthermore, she is a strategist who used her allies' unique abilities in the East West War as the situation demanded. As a source of knowledge, she loves reading Keijo Magazine.

Toyoguchi Non
An wannabe socialite from a small town. She is able to resurrect her village since it is devoid of humans. Because of her super-soft buttocks and breasts, she can absorb and reflect hits. She still has a lot of stumbling to do. It doesn't end there; if she's not paying attention, she'll wear Miyata's bra and underpants, as well as her entrance dress backwards. Nozomi misunderstands her because she, like Kazane, has an unusual accent.

Her buttocks radiate a dog-like aura and appear to hone in on their intended target with amazing precision, as if on cue.
