This is the continuation from the great boxing anime Hajime no Ippo. I was never really into boxing until I watched the anime, which also proved to be really informative in the sport. I actually learned a lot about the boxing styles from this anime.

Despite the fact that there's a 7-year gap from the original, it's nice to see that the continuation kept the same characters, voice actors (from what I can tell) and action/comedy that made its predecessor so enjoyable.

For those looking for anime with a good storyline and/or you're a fan of boxing in general, you will get a kick out've the series.

Anyone else seen this anime or checking the new series?

Here's a trailer to the OVA that came out in '03:
