the beginning after the end book 4
Hajime no Ippo, while following all of the genre's tropes, expands on each of the plot points with great care and gives
this stereotypes a refreshing sense of depth and nuance. One of the many examples is Umezawa, who bullies Ippo throughout the first part of The FIghting, becoming Ippo's best friend as the series goes and arguably his greatest supportes, instead of dissapearing in frustration when realizing his strength, as many characters who share his archetype do. This comes with reflection on his mistakes and the development of his own dreams (becoming a mangaka).
This is just one example of how HNI expands on these archetypes (and the one which spoils the least of the plot) making them into original much more nuanced iterations of these stereotypes.
While not flawless (almost impossible due to it's length), I'd put Hajime No Ippo among the best shounen and spokkon anime without a doubt. Reviewer’s Rating: 9 What did you

Gift Report Aug 20, 2013 NavyCherub Mixed Feelings There are plenty of stories about a young man finding some sort of passion and following it to some sort of logical conclusion, and Hajime no Ippo chooses not to stray from that basic idea very far. Luckily for original creator Morikawa George, not straying far from this premise seems to be the recipe for a successful comic that has lasted more than 1000 chapters week after week since its original Shounen Magazine publishing in 1989. This adaptation by Madhouse and director Nishimura
Satoshi is longer than your usual TV anime run, at 75 episodes, but it doesn't quite cover the incredible length of Nishimura's . original comic.
A group of children live in a facility isolated from the outside world. One day, one of them, a girl named Tokio, receives a message that says "Do you want to go outside of the outside?" Mimihime, another girl who lives in the same facility, has a prediction and tells the upset Tokio that two people will come from the outside to save her, one of whom has the same face as her,
while the director of the school tells her that the outside world is Hell. Meanwhile, a boy named
Maru, who looks just like Tokio, is traveling through this devastated Japan with a girl named Kiruko, in search of Heaven.
