Personal Thoughts: Eventhough real boxing is quite a boring program for me, but it's completely different in this anime, as the characters; like Ippo, are learning hard to archive his aim, which is the national championship; Takamura, are suffering from straving in order to get himself in the middle weight championship match.

Critics & Comments: There are currently 2 seasons of the anime.
- First season of the anime - "Hajime no Ippo" A.K.A "Fighting Spirit"
- Second season of the anime - "Hajime no Ippo - New Challenger"

Recommendation: Recommend for teenagers, as it contains bloody violence, bad language, nudity.

Status: 2nd Season Finished

Personal Rating: 4 / 5
