Despite it's age, Hajime No Ippo holds up to this day, because the story is legit gripping, and the fight scene animation is legit Ahead of it's time.
-
This whole match must be one of the greatest fights in anime history, the original show delivers so many emotions, the ending of the first season is just so perfect. If you ever experienced either season one HnI or the manga, you've been through one of the most powerful journeys that the spokon genre will ever deliver.
-
I love when anime movies re-animate iconic scenes from the series with an even higher quality. Could feel the strenght behind every single punch thrown here
-
The animation in this recreation of the Ippo vs Sendo Second Fight is God tier.
-
Liver Blow - Feint to Gazelle Punch - Dempsey Roll as a glorious Finisher is still the badass scene of this fight
-
I'm 33 now and I still get chills when the shocking lemon song comes on during this.
-
I can’t even count anymore how many times I’ve watched this fight but it still makes my hair stand every time. Hajime no Ippo is and will always be the best sports anime ever objectively.
-
The way that dudes chest shudder when he knows hes witnessing greatness is something ive never seen respresented in anime before. Its a feeling ive had many times but never really noticed. Maybe im the only one, but i felt that.
-
This scene is a master class in animation. The sound design is perfect, the timing and choreography are godlike, and the directing gives me the CHILLS EVERY TIME.
-
For real Sendo vs Ippo second match is for me one of the best animated fight I've ever seen in 15 years of watching anime
-
This anime is one of the best sport anime ever
-
The sounds design in this show is absolutely amazing, at 2:27 after the feint you hear his left "unsheath" and slice clean thru sendos guard to nail him 👌 pure gol
-
jesus,after all these years, i'm still getting goosebumps from a 5min clip. god damn this show is a masterpiece
-
Sendo is a better rival than miyata
-
Hajime no Ippo is still a cornerstone for passion, discipline, and perseverance . The pursuit and determination is palpable. It stands the test of time as a story.
-
I remember the first time i watch this arc especially the lollapalooza episode. cried my ass out when ippo has been called a the new national champion. Still reading its manga and still hoping for anime adaptation of it. Such a great anime.
-
When you hear them jet engines you know shits about to go down
-
This is probably the best fight in Ippo and you can't deny it because of how well it was executed and animated.
-
I love Takamuras smile as ippo is crowned the champ. Smile of an older brother proud of his little bro growing up and becoming great. So wholesome.
