| Summary: |
Makunouchi Ippo has been bullied his entire life. Constantly running errands and being beaten up by his classmates, Ippo has always dreamed of changing himself, but never has the passion to act upon it. One day, in the midst of yet another bullying, Ippo is saved by Takamura Mamoru, who happens to be a boxer. Ippo faints from his injuries and is brought to Takamura boxing gym to recover. As he regains consciousness, he is awed and amazed at his new surroundings in the gym, though lacks confidence to attempt anything. Takamura places a photo of Ippo’s classmate on a punching bag and forces him to punch it. It is only then that Ippo feels something stir inside him and eventually asks Takamura to train him in boxing. Thinking that Ippo does not have what it takes, Takamura gives him a task deemed impossible and gives him a one week time limit. With a sudden desire to get stronger, for himself and his hard working mother, Ippo trains relentlessly to accomplish the task within the time limit. Thus Ippo’s journey to the top of the boxing world begins. |

watching this anime is simply a blast. very well developed characters that are relatable and lovable. the story too is very well written and handled, it never drags, never the nonsense filler that many other anime have. and every time you finish an episode, you are craving to keep watching. tone-wise, the show can range from intense, action-packed to literally laugh out loud hilarious. the music too is good and the animation is always top notch. most of all, i was never even a fan of boxing and expected to hate this show going in cold. however soon i realized that you dont even need to be a fan of boxing to enjoy this. it really is more about the characters' struggles and how they work hard to overcome impossible challenges. many a times, their accomplishment or failures can bring tears to the viewers eyes...
you know what? i'll stop praising. just check it out, whether you're a boxing fan or not, it is my personal guarantee that you will enjoy this anime.
just one thing to look out for though. i usually dont have any problem with dubs but this one's really REALLY sucks. besides english dub ippo everyone voice acts like some cheap 70s chinese kung fu movie dub. just stick to the subbed version for this series.
