kumoryu 97 Posted May 11 Every year, when I see this topic, my eyes read it as "Video Nasties" I am of course a devoted fan! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I genuinely interested. It took me right back to my early 20s, and the end Mary Whitehouse's pointless moral crusade. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kintamayama 45,974 Posted May 12 (edited) In case anyone wants to watch the lower ranks live, a really excellent channel on Twitch. The guy there is very knowledgeable and very easy on the ears. Excellent commentary. Midnight Sumo. Look for it-worth the search. After hours, constant replays of the day. Edited May 12 by Kintamayama 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Heather82Cs 3 Posted May 13 Is there a particular reason behind the choice of the blast from the past bits, or for just being included overall? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Heather82Cs 3 Posted May 14 9 hours ago, Kintamayama said: I try to show the best bouts of the day. Why? Sorry, not sure I explained myself properly. I am referring to the very old bouts, the ones that are not from the current basho. (Including Kusano even though he's in juryo doesn't require an explanation :) ) I see fights from like 2015 and I am missing whether there's a connection between those and the current day ones. Like, was that old fight a carbon copy of the one we had just witnessed? Or is it something like "on this very day 10 years ago, this happened"? Or are they just cool bouts chosen randomly? (Also for clarity, this is just a newbie's curiousity.) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pitinosato 123 Posted May 14 If I got it right, Kintamayama always takes Bouts which are exactly 10 years ago Yesterday for example Bouts of Day 3 of the May Basho 2015 Pitinosato 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Suwihuto 142 Posted May 14 How long are videos staying up? My current assessment is "not very long"! Are the copyright strikes happening too quickly now? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
