Summary:
Ippo Makunouchi is a very shy high school student who never had the time to make friends because he was always busy helping his mother with the family charter boat fishing business. Because he kept to himself, a group of bullies led by Umezawa got into the habit of picking on him. On one particular day these bullies decided to give him a rather serious beating, but a middle-weight professional boxer who was passing by stopped the bullies and took the injured Ippo to the Kamogawa Gym (鴨川ボクシングジム Kamogawa Bokushingu Jimu?), owned by retired boxer Genji Kamogawa, to treat his wounds. After Ippo awoke to the sounds of boxers training, the boxer who saved him, Mamoru Takamura, tried to cheer Ippo up by letting him vent his frustrations on a sandbag. It was then that they had their first glimpse into Ippo's talent for boxing. After that incident, Ippo started his regular training and began his path in japan's professional boxing.
Thoughts:
This anime is very good at keeping the action flowing, but the fights are pretty much all the same. However, that's to be expected when watching sports anime, so what can I do? I really need to get moving on this one, since there is going to be a new season this spring. I also have to finish fullmetal alchemist for that matter. It won't be to hard, seeing has I have all the box sets.
Aaaaaany-who..... The art is sub-par at best, but then again it's a little older. I just hope the new anime updates its style a bit. The music stinks. I can't make any excuse for the one ed that sounds like the guy is trying to yodel out his butt :/ yuck.
overall, it is a sweet story of success and hard work. I happen to like these types of stories. I think I'll have some hajime no ippo toast<3
