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.

Hajime no Ippo is an awesome anime for anyone. I'm not a big sports fan myself but I was talked into watching it and fell in love at the first episode. The main character Ippo is one of those kids that just touches the hearts of everyone. The secondary characters are in-depth and lacking in nothing. The film didn't have much money at first and it kind of shows in the animation but as it moved along the artwork got better and better (think Dragonball). The action is awe inspiring and the locker-room humor had me rolling.
This is a must see anime for everybody. I'm not even a boxing fan but I still found myself standing up from my chair and shouting "GO IPPO!!!"

So make sure to watch this one......Then go watch the sequel!!!!
