| Yeah that was a great final arc. I didn't care for the Takamura arc really at all because it was obvious he was gonna win as the Japanese Mary Sue of boxing, but Ippo's big match was pretty good. |
| Thought Rising was a big step down from the previous seasons. Too much focus on unfunny crude comedy, characterization for the various opponents mostly skipped over, bad direction in some of the fights with several moments of noticeably poor continuity from one cut to the next - it really felt like the show wasn't given the level of care it deserved. The last 8 or so episodes managed to partially salvage things, with Takamura's big fight having some real tension, and the post-war arc was of course great, but I can't ignore that I was underwhelmed and even bored for the majority of the season. |
| THIS LAST EPISODE HIT SO HARD. the music, the animation, the drama, the fight, everything was spot on. a really good note to end it on. great season yet again 9/10. i guess this is where my 126 episode hajime no ippo anime journey ends. it has truly been amazing. an experience i won't forget. easily my third favorite anime now. really wish there was a season 4 tho. hopeful it'll happen one day and praying. guess i just gotta pick up the manga now which apparently has over 1400 chapters. more peak, here i come. THANK YOU HAJIME NO IPPO. |

| And there it goes, one of the best anime from the 2000s and 2010s. Wished I watched it sooner. Would wait for another anime season, but since it´s been almost a decade since this season aired, I´m going straight to the manga. |

| Great season overall. Skipped these last few eps though cause it was predictable and I don’t really care. Probs 8/10 overall (could’ve been a 9). Is that the end of the anime forever š I hope not This show really grew on me. Became a part of my daily life! I’ll miss the epic fight scenes and incredible comedy XD |
 |
| Man I really loved the old man’s backstory |
 |
| time for the manga! |
| To beat an opponent with body blows only is truly an incredible achievement and a very great flashback fight as a closure for this season. I sure wished we get to see ippo fight at least Miayata this season but I guess that just doesn’t meant to start at this stage of a story. The real big shame is that its 2024 already and none is bothering to continue this, guess its another show suffering same curse as No Game No Life, 3 Gatsu no Lion, Kaiji, etc.. |
