Overview: Ani x Para World explores the exciting world of para-sports through short films by Japan's top animators. Our sixth episode turns the spotlight on visually impaired judo. Popular manga creator Kawai Katsutoshi conducted extensive research while writing the story, meeting with athletes and even trying the sport for himself. The result is a stirring tale of a girl who loses her eyesight but finds hope in judo. In the studio, we talk to a visually impaired husband-and-wife judoka team about preparing for the Paralympics.
