Also, it seems like they will call it "Fighting Spirit" with
"Hajime no Ippo" as second title and logos in the show itself unchanged. IMHO, I've no problem with this -- It's understandable they would choose a bit more marketable name for a series this long. |

Snoopycool is translating the manga but they are only up to volume 20 or so and the anime stopped aound volume 30. (I believe the manga currently has over 60 volumes) It might be a good idea to read the manga from the start, as I've heard there are some changes and things that were in the manga but that were skipped in the anime. |

The coolest thing they skipped in the anime was Ippo sparring with the Welterweight before his championship fight with Sendou... seeing a featherweight KO the 4th seeded welter in one round was something I wished was in the anime...

My youngest brother looks exactly like Ippo. I got into the manga when I first saw it in Japan. I saw it had like 60+ volumes. But I didn't know if it was still going (is it?). Then I got the game when I got into the anime when I came back from Japan. Very interesting series. Takamura reminds me a lot of Onizuka from GTO. Makes weird faces and likes to use moves that are not taught in their style of fighting. I wonder how they would do in a fight
Anyway, I wanna know more about the last boss in Victorious Boxers, Sawamura in Ippos part. |
