I was in a book store and noticed the manga was something like 16 volumes long. A fucking tennis comic. wtf.
Well since i finally got a DVD player that reads Divx i started watching through this again, ( I started off again around ep 51).
Its definitely one of the better sports anime out there, all the characters are really fleshed out and the action (read: Tennis) sequences are just as good. Although i don't even like real tennis but i did start watching some real tennis after getting into this, i'm pretty sure most of the stuff they do is impossible so its not an ultra realistic take on tennis but its definitely enjoyable everyone should check out the first ep atleast.

It happens.
Hajime no Ippo is the greatest Anime of all time (okay, one of the greatest). Because of this, I've always wondered how other sports manga/animes measured up. There's just something awesome about translating sports to an over-exaggerated anime setting.
