A lot of people who don't regularly watch sports-based anime, or have not done in the past often overlook this underdog with beast-like strength.
Hajime no Ippo took me personally by surprise because I am one of many who did overlook it, and I have nothing but regret for doing so. On the exterior, this anime depicts a young man who is pushed around and seeks out boxing as a way to escape his weakness. This being inspring as a set up for a character, with plenty of room for development, it does tend to fall toward being cliche at times, and typically adhering to the

Denpa-teki na Kanojo
(Anime)
add
One of the characters in this out-of-the-ordinary masterpiece describes this anime very well.
For those of you familiar with the term "tsundere", prepare for yet another stereotypical storyline where the spiky hardshelled teen has a difficult love life, learns the meaning of happiness, and solves crimes with his generic emo friend.
