Hajime No Ippo

>>148994939

I actually really wanted to get into boxing when I was younger. I never had the courage to actually sign up though. I always thought I was too small and I'd just be a punching bag for a bunch of guys that wouldn't give a shit about me. After a friend exposed me to this anime I suddenly had a bout of courage and actually joined a boxing gym. Now of course I wasn't anything like Ippo but I tried my god damn best to keep that fighting spirit up. Over and over again I failed but not once did I give up. Fast forward a few years and I'm still not the best but now I can actually win fights and the people at the gym are now my friends, hell, family almost. I'm thankful this anime exists just because it gave me that little push to peruse something I thought was completely ridiculous for someone with my body shape at the time.

>Has this show had a lasting impact on any of you?
No, I'm not 12 so this mediocrity had absolutely no impact on me.

Is boxing anything like the anime? Probably not.

It made me want to never kiss my girlfriend and never accomplish anything, fading into obscurity from brain damage because my coach is a retard.

tfw still no sports like photography show but two cycling anime airing at the same time. When will my hobby get some love?

>>148994939
Probably what's made me enjoy sports anime a lot more

Then I read the manga and realised I was being cucked by Itafag

I mean, the thought process is strikingly similar, those oh shit moments when you realize you fuck up or when someone just won't go down, they did a pretty good job I'd say with what the characters think when something happens in a fight.

hahahhahahaha it really is a mystery how Ippo didn't suffer any sort of brain trauma from getting repeatedly bludgeoned. Anime magic I guess

>>148996763
Probably because not enough attention on it, I can see it happening though.

It's going to be revealed in chapter 1500 or 2000 that he's punch drunk, they're already trying to give signs of it

>>148994939
I watch this show to motivate me to work out

What are some other great "get off your ass and hit the gym" anime?

>>148997070
Anything involving fighting spirit, hell I'd say Gurren Lagann motivated the shit out of me.

>>148997070
Try "Danberu nan kiro moteru?"

It convinced me to go running more. That's about it.
