| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- im just starting too watch this series.. it looks good so far so im going to continue warching it for now |
| yeah it looks nice ^^ |
 |
| Damn, he sure packs a punch. The whole "your mother must smell too" thing was kind of retarded, but otherwise good episode. I wish I hadn't have watched the 2 movies before starting this series. Now I know how it ends. >_> |
| I'm back. |
| I like it. Ippo is a very likable guy. Weird I'm kind of getting Hunter x Hunter vibes from this. |
| first episode was awesome. i wanna finish the first season before season 2 starts airing in january '09 |
| Good first episode. |
| Series has potential... and the main character is likable too... pathetic so far, but likable still xD |
| I'm hooked and in for the ride. |
 |
| Hooked after the first ep. |
 |
| Exellent First Episode! Very Good! |
 |
| he reminds me of Rock Lee for some reason. |
| Excellent first episode, already getting hyped up for boxing already O_O nothing generic about this series whatsoever it's great ^^ |
| the first episode was great. |
 [/url]  |
| Looks promising so far, BUT! THE NOSE T.T It irritates me soooo much. |
| Rewatching this anime, cos it's a brilliant show. :) |
Life is really simple, but we insist on making it complicated.~ |
| Wow, just after watching the first episode I thought "Hey, maybe I should get stronger too." Lets just say it inspired me. Yes, a single episode just inspired me to get into shape. Well, I liked that... I can kind of tell where this is going, and I like it a lot. Excited to continue. |
Sayoreti said: Looks promising so far, BUT! THE NOSE T.T It irritates me soooo much. xD yeahh, first thing i said was "is that the main character? what's wrong with his nose?" but yeah, series has potential. time to get my 'locked in room don't talk to me phase' on |
| i know i'm a bit delayed in watching this.. been hearing a lot of good reviews about this anime.. so i'm very hopeful! ^_^ Takamura seems cool! the first episode was a good start! now lets see how this develops! |
   |
Just finished reading 30 chapters of the manga. I'm not gonna spoil. I just wanted to watch the 1st episode of the anime because I wanted to see how faithful they'd stay to the manga and they did it beautifully.  |
 |
| Before starting this I decided to work out so from now on while I watch Hajime no Ippo I'll be using my kettlebells. Hopefully by the end of the series I'll be in better shape too :) |
| Man, what a great first episode, i wasn't expecting this, i liked the main character, the story seems to be good to, it remembered me YuYu Hakusho a little. |
 |
| Shiiet I cant even do that (catch leaves), must mean I suck at boxing. But anyways, pretty good first episode. It felt so long, I thought it was a 1 hour special or something. xD |
 |
| Having played a lot of motion-control boxing, this anime seems really promising for me! |
 |
| good pilot. the mc is a wimp which usually irritates me but oddly enough i just find him sympathetic and sweet. at first i thought the old art style would put me off but its made up for by a great soundtrack, strong art direction and subtle humour. |
| Finally got the chance to watch this. Well, I have to say the first episode left a good impression. The show looks very promising. |
 |
| Yeah nice remember watching this in my native language now i'll start to watch all of this again so i can catch up for this the third season Fighting spirit rising |
| One episode, and I'm already hooked! I can already see this becoming one of my favorite anime :) |
| Finally started watching this series. Ah, so far so good. I'm not too fond of the mc yet but the concept of boxing sure got me interested. >What does it feel to be strong? Oh I got a feeling he'll find out very soon. |
 |
| Ah. Hajime no Ippo. I've been meaning to watch this series for quite some time. This episode was very good. I think this series has the potential to break my top 5, that opportunity doesn't come along very often. For those wondering, at the time of this post it is: 5. Texhnolyze 4. Mushishi 3. Planetes 2. Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex 2nd GIG 1. Ginga Eiyuu Densetsu Looking forward to the rest of this series. |
| This would be one of the best first episode . |
| Wow, the first episode and I'm already hooked. Like Tyestor said, this has some pretty good potential. Great start to a series. |
| i'm liking it, classic underdog story |
 |
| Wow, nice episode. Really liked it, realized I've been watching so much moe, fanservice & school romcoms lately that this feels like a breath of fresh air. The rest looks promising. |
 |
| Pretty lovely start of this series, while I'm certainly not a fan of Sports anime nor Boxing, with the various of good things I heard about it, I decided to give this a watch so let's see what this anime series will offer me! |
 |
| Good first episode! |
| glad they got the ball rolling fairly quickly. this series is supposed to be greatness. i hope it lives up to all my high standards. |
 |
| Great start,let's see where it goes. |
 |
| Re-watching this show ever since the MayPac fight got me in the mood again. Its a damn good anime. :) |
 |
| Rewatching Hajime no Ippo :) |
I CAN'T TAKE IT ANYMORE! Time to rewatch me some Hajime no Ippo >:D Man, dat OST (especially the ed). Really looking forward to this ride. THEARCANINE151 said: Rewatching Hajime no Ippo :) What a coincidence xD |
 |
| Even by anime standards, these guys have really weird hairstyles |
tqran said: Even by anime standards, these guys have really weird hairstyles I think the noses look weirder lol. Anyways, loving the anime so far! I can see why it almost has a 9. |
