I'm a girl and I really like hajime no ippo. I think it's hilarious. I think the animation kinda sucks though. When I first started watching it I thought it was from the early 90's because of the animation. Then when I looked it up on google I found out it was aired in 2000?(not sure on the year) That was a BIG surprise for me.

I've just finished this, and I thought it was really good. It's really funny in places, and yet full of great action. Ippo is a very endearing character, even though he isn't 'cute'.

This is one of the greatest series ever made, and that's no lie. After watching the first few episodes, I fell in love with it and it is now in my top 10, maybe even 5 fav. anime series of all time.

Even if you don't like boxing, it is still a great story. I'd love to get my hands on the japanese comics and get them translated. I even have the game which I play religilously.

Maybe I am partial to the story because I used to fight too, but it is really realistic. When I first it, I thought to myself "Wow, whoever wrote this really must've known about boxing". The way the coach tells Ippo how to throw punches and instructs him in techniques, etc. is actually quite true. The training methods their gym uses are also very effective. I have stolen a few of them myself.

Above all, the emotions Ippo goes thru made me remember how great it was too step into the ring, and rekindled my interset in fighting once again. Hopefully I will be able to get back into the ring in the next 6 months. I can honestly say that when I fought, I went thru many of the same emotions Ippo did. I just felt the story because I could really relate to Ippo.

It's a superb story that lets you experience the world of boxing in a realistic way, while at the same time having enough of a story to keep even those who detest boxing interested. I showed it to my mom, and even she likes it. No one I have showed it to thought it sucked. Definetly check it out.

I haven't been able to find any translations, but I was able to locate a vendor that carried all current 64 volumes of manga, at around $6 a volume : http://www.archonia.com/

Hope that's useful!

This is for all you other Ippo fans out there ;)

ippo's THE best sports anime, even if u don't like them. I didn't like them either...till i watched the first eipisode. After the first episode, i got hooked and finished the series within a week or so. Everyone that i lent this anime to became hooked like i did too
