Hajime no Ippo

    Love HnI. Is one of the shows that gets me pumped to work out.

    Ippo, as well as other series that constantly praise it (e.g. Bakuman), has really made me want to read or watch Ashita no Joe. Unfortunately, it's basically available nowhere. I believe the chronic health hazards are thematic touched upon a bit more in it.
    Saizen has subbed AnJ up to episode 17, but it has taken them 3 years to get that far. So I wouldn't recommend picking it up unless you have the patients to wait for months between releases.

    Does anyone know where I can *ahem* get a hold of the first season of the anime? I got New Challenger, but that's the second season, and I'd prefer to start at the beginning.

    Are you asking us to provide you with links to illegal pirated material?

    BakaBT is generally a good source.

    Go to google.com. Search for

    site:bakabt.com hajime no ippo

    That's the secrets of getting anime torrents.

    Thanks all for the information. I was just asking for "research" purposes.

    oh yeah, for that book you're writing:

    I Didn't Pirate Hajime no Ippo, but if I did, this is how I'd have done it by jabrams007

    Have you been talking to my publicist? ;)

    Nobody on this forum needs to lie about pirating.

    Why in this show does every opener and closer suck, but then you get used to them?
  • MrRobotoMrRoboto

    How does that suck?

    I actually like the first one better, and even that one had to grow on me.

    I'm three episodes in. This is AWESOME.

    I'd like to read the manga, but it's 80 over 90 volumes long and still going.

    @WuB do like chaosof99 was saying and watch what's out and pick up from ~400. That's almost half of the manga...ish.
  • WindUpBirdWindUpBird
    Oh, that sounds better.
  • RuffasRuffas
    HnI's one of the few things I'd rather watch than read (like Initial D; there's no eurobeat in the manga and that's just wrong).

    Also, car racing is boring as shit in comic form.

    I was also overwhelmed when I first started: "I'm I really going to read 850 chapters" or however many it was then? But I read plenty of other long things, and it's basically like reading two or three other long series put together. The volume of a series isn't really a strike against a series, if the quality holds up. And for HnI it does pretty well.

    But yeah, if you watch the anime, you can forget about the first 399 chapters. Just pick up at 400 and you'll be ready to go. Anime sticks very close to the manga, so there won't be anything you'll miss out on.
  • AprecheApreche
    So 400 is the exact chapter to start on after watching every anime series?
  • chaosof99chaosof99
    Indeed.
  • RuffasRuffas
    Oh shits! They totally pulled an Ashita no Joe (with less death) in episode 34.
  • AprecheApreche
    I just saw, I can't believe, I don't even.
  • RuffasRuffas
    Episode 42 has the best bargle noise ever.
  • RuffasRuffas
    That title match! Goddamn!
  • AprecheApreche
    Finished series 1.

    That was quick. 12 days for 76 episodes?
  • KevDeluxeKevDeluxe
    Anyone else pissed nothing is happening in the latest chapters?

    Anything is possible with Fighting Spirit.
