I mean, give the show a try it is really good but if you’re turned off I get it. Less if you eliminate the ones that function as sex objects.

there just aren’t really any women period! 40 episodes in and I count count the notable women in the series on one hand. I despise the monster that social justice has become, but this isn’t the case of there being no “strong” women. The second flaw is that there aren’t really any female characters in the series. Even with humor and characterization, so much of the story revolves around boxing that they’ll rapidly grow bored. One is that if the viewer isn’t interested in boxing, there’s just no way they’ll endure. This show isn’t without some notable drawbacks though. Sure the fighters sometimes disappear from the series after a single fight, but that doesn’t stop them from being characterized. Even the first real “villain” of the series is revealed to be an orphan who cares deeply for his sister, and that his brutality and sometimes flagrant fouling in the ring is a result of his desperation to provide for her. Every single boxer on Hajime no Ippo gets a backstory that explains why they are the way they are and it is amazing. What really elevates the show, however, is how much time they devote to characterizing everyone on the show. It has great dialogue and timing to go along with the gags and they often have no build up for some real gut busters. In my humble opinion slapstick is one of the lowest forms of comedy, but Hajime no Ippo gets it right. The final, big point is that Hajime no Ippo has some really good slapstick comedy. Sure there are some super popular ones like Mike Tyson, but other lesser known stars like Thomas “Hitman” Hearns get a shout out too which is great. As bizarre as this may sound, Hajime no Ippo may be one of the best ways to make people interested in boxing in the first place.īonus points because they reference famous boxers when explaining techniques.
It’s not the deepest stuff, but it’s enough to ensure that newbies to boxing will understand what’s going on. Second, there’s actually a decent amount of boxing terminology and knowledge sprinkled in. I don’t want to say it’s anime Rocky because it oversimplifies what is really a great anime, but one could be forgiven for thinking that over the first few episodes.

The fact that Ippo is so determined, almost free from animosity with his child like kindness makes him a really likable protagonist.
There’s so much to love about this anime.įirst, it’s a definite feel good story.

Ippo eventually decides he wants to be a professional boxer and with the helps of friends and his coach, marches towards the top. To improve Ippo’s self esteem as well as teach him self defense, Takamura teaches him to throw a right straight and is amazed at the amount of power he generates as a result of his incredible musculature from working on the fishing boat. During one of many beatings at the hand of a group of bullies, he’s saved by an extraordinarily talented but brash boxer named Takamura Mamoru. Possessing extraordinary good nature and kindness, Ippo has no social life because he must help his mother with their fishing boat business after the death of his father.
The anime follows a shy little high school outcast named Makunouchi Ippo. Naturally, Hajime no Ippo was an anime tailor made for me. I watch every UFC and Bellator, I write weekly MMA articles and my birthday wish is for Gennady Golovkin to knock David Lemieux into the next century. I’m a combat sports nut, no way around it.
