I'm not entirely sure if this is based on the manga or not, but this seems more or less just like a couple episodes of Hajime No Ippo. Same pacing, some of the same music. Usually I find fault in a lot of anime movies, but I have absolutely no complaints here. Hajime No Ippo is a great show, regardless of genre, and nothing has changed here.

If you've enjoyed watching Hajime No Ippo, or you just want to get a sneak peak of what the series will entail, I would say this is a pretty decent representation. Of course you wouldn't understand all of it, ... as this takes place directly after Hajime No Ippo, however I think this is relatively digestible for new viewers!

Wow. An easily digestible boxing anime that actually teaches you about boxing from the basics. Hajime No Ippo or Fighting Spirit is an amazing anime following Ippo on his journey to grow as a boxer. The fights in this show get so intense one episode will just not be enough!
I highly recommend to anybody who likes well thought out combat and fighting involving techniques and strategy. If you are already into boxing before watching Hajime No Ippo, you may find it to be slow or the fights to be underwhelming, but as the show continues on the fights get more and more over the top! ... This QUICKLY became one of my favorite boxing- no, favorite sports- no, favorite overall anime.
