Better than any other garbage posted on here.

explain

It's more worthwhile than anything else you'll ever watch, so yes.

Mangas worth reading. It's the series that made me start reading. The skip between the two seasons was too far.

no way its better than death note

I enjoyed Ippo, but I'd reccomend Ashita no Joe before it.

It's dope

The problem is that the series is too long so it's not really worth reading it after the anime

best sport shounen for me, have watched it 3 times and read the manga twice, only problem is that the manga will never end, one piece is closer to its ending than hajime no ippo

you love every character and every chapter just make you want more

why did they always tease ippo about his dick?

i think thats too old for me

currently mid season 2. its pretty good.
Takamura is too good for this world

is too big,

>That end
What the fuck, who would want to read some shit like that.

you watch ashita no joe if you like 70s aesthetic and the character joe & you watch ippo for the boxing and sport anime tropes

because there are two kinds of people

people that like Scat humor and people whitout a sense of humor

Takamura vs Hawk is the best fight ever. Hell, Hawk is one of the best villains ever.

it's good, but gets repetitive, I wouldn't marathon it.

dude i always though that takamura vs hawk was the best fight until the bison fight god damn

The manga has some better ones. Sawmaura vs. Mashiba is one of my new favorites.

seriously? i watched the 3 seasons and movies in less than a month, got me hooked

I'm an anime only guy. How far are these fights from where S3 left off?

This. i really want MadHouse to continue the anime to watch this fight

the fights takes a lot of manga chapters but with the anime i don't think that much, if they continue the anime the sawamura vs mashiba it is close like 12 episodes but the bison fight not since it is too recent

Couple hundred chapters.

it gets better

that is unironically the #1 anime battle of all time. I get the chills every time I rewatch Takamura vs Hawk.


Watch Ippo OP. Seriously never seen a better fight shounen.

some fights takes like 20 manga chapters but the anime can resume them with 2 or 3 episodes

>bison

Wait, Takamura fights Mike... Bison?

Richard Bison, he uses flickers like a beast
also takamura always fights americans with animals for last name
>Bryan Hawk
>David Eagle
>Richard Fox
>Ricky Mouse
>Ronald Duck
>Peter Rabbit
>Richard Bison

you guys are stupid
Bar fight was best fight

It's the best anime ever made, in my opinion.

easily one of my top 3 shounen anime

Woli though.

he has a larger than average penis.

in their defense, Woli isn't in the anime

That chapter was god tier.

Watch the first season and maybe the second, after this it gets repetitive. Third season is kinda shitty too

Hajime no Ippo is a pretty damn good series overall. The first anime is great and you should at least watch that till completion.

...

Watch the first anime series, 76 episodes (Amazing, I've watched 3 or 4 times) and then watch new challenger. Rising, the third series, aired pretty recently and was terrible, I dropped it before halfway through, so if you like it after the first and new challenger just pick up the manga. As others have said, the manga never ends, I stopped reading at chapter 1000 figuring that was as good as any. Seriously though the first 76 episode series is amazing and might even get you into the sport enough to give it a try yourself.

dude you forgot the movies that are canon and third season wasn't as bad for dropping it but yeah the manga will never end and i don't even see it close to it

> the manga never ends, I stopped reading at chapter 1000 figuring that was as good as any
You have no fucking idea how funny the current arc is.

Ippo needed to train for a while to learn a new Dempsey and to become significantly physically stronger, so there was a massive arc dedicated to him doing nothing but walking around with weights on, bowling, and doing other uninteresting muscle-building activities.
Then, after that, there were multiple *chapters* dedicated to making it 100% clear to the reader that the guy who Ippo was soon to fight stands no chance against Ippo, and he is repeatedly referred to as being "sacrificial fodder" in order for Ippo to display his new Dempsey, in the ring.
That fight is now going into its 3rd round and 10th chapter. Ippo has not yet been able to use the Dempsey. The enemy has managed to keep the now-strengthened Ippo at bay by punching him in the skull, but Ippo remains undeterred!

>Rising, the third series, aired pretty recently and was terrible
Yeah I'd highly recommend reading the manga around the Sawamura arc before watching the third season. Anime misses wayyy too much character development that'd you'd be doing yourself a huge disservice here. Pick it up again for the Kamogawa arc, that one was pretty great.

those 9 pages chapters just killed me everytime
fucking miura got fucked for working under morikawa

They're not even that short anymore. The chapters are just FILLED with talking heads reacting to literally every event that visibly occurs. Even Ippo manages to waste numerous panels by literally reacting to his own actions with internal monologue.

Itigaki made me drop the manga. I can't stand that faggot, he ruins the locker room dynamic and his fights aren't interesting.

Preach, my brother, preach.
