tazzyboyishere 04/22/18 6:55:42 PM #368:	35. Hajime no Ippo (2000) Ange (1/4) Ippo is a classic tale about a bullied high schooler who is saved by a professional boxer, thus deciding to pursue a career as a boxer. While the premise is simple, it's a pretty epic tale, with an anime spanning over 100 episodes and a manga spanning over 1000 chapters. It also happens to be consistently great, with some really well-done fights. Ippo isn't that deep. In fact, it's one of the most shallow shounens out there. It's extremely formulaic, and stays that way for it's entire run. It makes no effort to create behind the scenes drama, or to develop any of it's characters beyond whom they are initially. What it excels at is in it's pacing. Even with the formulaic writing, there's rarely a dull moment. While Ippo rarely loses, the fights are a ton of fun to watch unfold It's not exactly realistic, but you get a lot of cool scenes on display. It might be for the best that Madhouse seems done adapting this. I don't know how far it got through the manga, but I can't imagine it's even halfway through where it's last chapter currently marks. There's only so much you can do with this style of writing, and since each new season of Ippo became less interesting than the previous, I can safely say it'd get dull if it lasted much longer. But hey, as is, it's great stuff! --- http://i.imgur.com/l7xxLh1.jpg PSN/Steam - RoboQuote ; NNID - TazzyMan <cite>tazzyboyishere posted [p:900120746] in Tazzy Rank...
