Genki... An anime classic.
I regularly watched the Genki on tv back in the early 90s. It was amazing... The anime started with strong Father and Son bond. Genki and his Father were trying to survive under the harsh circumtances of the concuret jungle. The Father was a pro. light weight boxer and Genki wanted to become a light weight boxer when he grew up as well and he was a very promising talent at his early age. Father and Son would run for miles together every morning as an excersise.
Then, the tragedy stroke, Because of mal nutrution, Genki's Father was having hard time execising and fighting... Genki and his father were very poor. One of his box matches, he was against the famous Cyclon Seki, a name, that would get stuck in my child mind as i watched the anime... Cyclon Seki fight was too harsh, Genki's father lost the fight... and he was in terrible condition. Genki and him together went to a emusement park afterwards, they were sitting on a bench... Genki was telling something to his father while eating ice cream and then... Genki's father's hand fell biside him and he was gone... I still get teary eyed remembering...
Cyclon Seki... Genki sweared to beat Cyclon Seki on that day. And worked for it with his everything to achive that goal for the rest of his life.
Genki grew up and became an amature light weight boxer, high school student. He was coming for Cyclon Seki... Genki would be The Champion. He was very talented... Nothing mattered but to get Cyclon Seki.
...Cyclon Seki... Unfortunatly even if i added the Genki anime as completed, ( i add my childhood animes all as completed... They are incredibly hard to find or sometimes watch again...lol) Genki never aired until the end in my country unfortunaly... I couldn't find the anime on the internet. I can only imagine the Cyclon Seki fight...
