Hajime no Ippo

[kane_magus]

After hearing Woolie and Pat talking about it, on more than one occasion (most recently here, with Woolie and his wife), I started watching Hajime no Ippo. I'm only seven episodes in so far (out of 75 in the first season alone, with each being around 20 minutes long or so, not counting OP and ED and such), and there have only been two real fights so far (with the second, four round match lasting a full episode and a half). I may have more to say about it later, after I've seen it all, including the following seasons and the OAVs/movies, but for now I have to say, without spoiling anything, it is absolutely as good as they said it was, at least so far.
