Matrixiole Simple and well acted, it has tension enough to knot the stomach.

2freensel I saw this movie before reading any reviews, and I thought it was very funny. I was very surprised to see the overwhelmingly negative reviews this film received from critics.

HottWwjdIam There is just so much movie here. For some it may be too much. But in the same secretly sarcastic way most telemarketers say the phrase, the title of this one is particularly apt.

filippaberry84 I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

heetsoyantar Spoiler for those who haven't watched it:If you are into fighting or boxing this anime you must see and also if you like comedy too.This anime has been made for you.I always get hyped when I see the matches it is always so great to watch this anime.I watch it again and again get hyped,laugh too much because of Takamura especially he is one of the most funny character in that anime You will know it when you watch the whole anime and it hasn't been completed yet and it is very long it has chapters like above 1009 or something.Ippo also has someone she likes and in the last chapters they were just going to kiss but they stopped because Kim's brother came.I will say it again if you are into comedy and action and adventures this anime is made for you.Ippo also challenges Miyata but Miyata refuses because fate doesn't want that to happen.This mango is one of the longest,funniest and one of the most adventurous manage that I have read in a while. :-)

Vilzey At first, i didn't like ANIME at all, i thought it's just for child's, but when i saw 3 first episodes of this "hajime no ippo" i knew this is the right ANIME *serie?* for me. I just simply loved it, how he trained himself + the hilarious humor the funny faces and beating up his opponents, effects were world class and when i for first time saw the famous "dempsey roll", no kidding: my hair was all electronic & stuff, we talked about this on school, with friends & stuff, if you like boxing: you will love this one! it's the best Anime i've ever seen, no kidding, beating up enemies + humor = PERFECT10 out of 10 !

superpogimax Hajime No Ippo (Knockout in Philippines and Fighting Spirit here in the US)is a must for all sports fans. Heck, I recommend this series to anyone. If you like sports (especially boxing), you will love the authenticity in which the animators present the boxing concepts and realism, not to mention the gradual development of the protagonist, Ippo Makunouchi. In addition,all the other characters are well-developed, so well-developed that you might even cheer for the guy Ippo is fighting. If you just like animé in general, this series has superior animation. You could feel the punches grinding on the boxer's bodies. If you are a newcomer, fear not. This series is one of the funniest animés ever. This is an overall superior animé. If you never watched animé in your life, or just looking for a good series to watch, this is it.
