Joe, a teenage orphan in the slums of the Doya streets, meets Danpei, a homeless, alcoholic ex-boxing coach. Danpei, seeing Joe's boxing talent, decides to train him. When Joe is sent to a terrible juvenile home for petty crimes, he meets Rikiishi who becomes his boxing rival. Danpei arrives at the home to help Joe to train in order to defeat Rikiishi. When Joe decides to seriously pursue boxing, Danpei cannot get a coaching license because of his reputation as a drunk.
w00t good looks ak
in a time where most of the new anime is "meh" u drop a classic (which i can only seem to find in raw japanese...i need to learn the language ASAP) thanks again!
U R Most welcome, thx 4 asking CLAEZ i'm doing just fine, hope things are fine with u 2, sorry Joe's fans 4 the lateness on d uploadn ,I was extremely busy ;-)
is this anywhere close to hajime no ippo? i like ippo alot, the fighting n comedy r both awesome but i dunno about this, should i even bother starting?
This is a very good and inspiring anime... it meant a lot when it was first created, so don't insult it! Besides, Shippuden has no charar development whatsoever. New moves, new hair, same immature brat.
man... for some reason.. i cant stand watching this show with this old drawing.. >.< im on ep 30 and.. just annoyed me with the drawing.. and plus the story line not so good
Worth a watch if you have any respect for depth in characters and like things with out princesses and stupid cartoon high school girls in short skirts. If you are not 10 and grew up in a time when it was more about making an animated show that compares w
foreignkidjason, look it up on anime news network, this series originally ran from 04/01/1970 until 09/29/1971 and hajime no ippo was aired 10/03/2000 until 03/27/2002. That is 30 yrs.........jackass
for the hajime no ippo fans out there.
- the illustrator of ippo was a huge fan of this show
- many situatons and characters were taken directly from this show
