Surprising is how much of an impact that anime has on people. Learning from the scratch, getting driven by determination and will to become stronger. Starting with sparrings, he continues to train day by day to finally get his debut match for a Professional License.

The whole beginning is a trial for Ippo, who has yet to learn everything and most importantly – not to give up. Just like promised, Takamura takes Ippo to the gym, and his journey to become a great boxer begins. When the time comes, he catches whole ten surprising Takamura who was sure he wouldn’t do it.

He’s training hard for day and night trying to figure out how to catch them properly. That’s when Ippo’s will to change and ambition show up. He had one week time to learn to do it and then he was supposed to show the result so Takamura takes him in the gym if he succeeds. Takamura doesn’t have much faith in him though, so he gave him an almost impossible to carry out task, which is catching 10 leaves falling off the tree with one hand. Ippo hit the thing with his whole might, causing a bit of hand damage and surprising everyone around with his strength. In answer to that, Takamura draws a picture of Ippo’s classmate and puts it on the sandbag. When he wakes up, he’s amazed and impressed by the whole training boxers are going through, yet he’s not determined to try himself. Ippo lost conciousness so Takamura takes him to the Boxing Gym. One day, while he was getting beaten up by his classmates, he’s saved by Takamura Mamoru, a professional Boxer. He’s often getting bullied, and because of that his will to change keeps growing stronger.
Makunouchi Ippo is a high school student, who has no ambitions or future plans whatsoever. Comedy and drama parts are what made me like it in the first place. But before I encourage you to it, you should know that there is a lot happening next to the boxing ring also. At this point you should know though, how different is boxing in the anime to the real one. Perhaps the first thought that comes to your mind when you see Ippo above is ‘ Wow, that must be boring’ – That’s what I thought anyway. It’s a bit late review, but I guess I just can’t let that one go, considering that there still are some people who never watched it because it’s sports kind of anime, and truth is – most of them would really love it.
