One of the most underestimated genres within the Anime media is the sporting anime. However Live Sports with Action (and Comedies) Tend to set a much greater focus on the play from the right sport, the animation allows it to be done in equal measure. The best sporting anime made the audience in the characters and their interpersonal stories, their triumphs and failures, their dreams and tragic backsters, while at the same time teaching the audience about the specific sport with stunning stories of athletism and sports sport.

Sports anime can become so popular that it basically introduces the entire generations with sports, such as Captain Tsubasa inspiring generations of footballers like Zinedine Zidane and Andres Iniesta or "Slam Dunk" that makes basketball popular in Japan (and eventually becoming Essentially anime film that everyone should watch).

Then there are some sports anime that manage to be considered among the best TV shows ever - regardless of medium or genre. Such is the case with the boxing anime "Fighting the Spirit", better known as "Hadzim No Ippo", which IMDB users ranked among Top 250 shows so far The number 146 (above the renowned shows such as "Received", "Mindhunter" and "Justified"). Based on manga with the same name from George Merikawa (which lasts since 1989!), Anime -Adaptation from Madhouse Studio came out in 2000 and running for 76 episodes before receiving additional films and new seasons.

There is a reason Michael B. Jordandan was inspired by Hadzim No Ippo when he made "Creed III" its directorial debut: It is one of the best anime of all time.

"Hadjime NO IPPO" is followed by a high school student named Ipo Makunucci, who spends his days or avoiding ruthless thugs or helping his mother lead the work of family fishing. In the end, he decided to take boxing as a way to defend himself from the thugs, and the series follows the exploitation of IPO while training to become a professional and later a champion.

It is easy to see why this is such a popular show, as one of the two biggest boxing anime (the other is the worst and more mature "Tomorrow OEO"), "Hadzim No Ippo" is Quintesential story of shining. Basically Rocky, but in anime form, the story of IPO is one full of ups and downs, with exciting struggles leading to championship titles or breaking defeats. Much of what makes anime (and manga even sea) is unique that it follows the IPO career through a long time span, and we see the slow effect that has fought on his body and how the careers and lives of his friends and rivals have changed over the years.

The boxer's career is very fragile, and the show is constantly exploring the many ways in which one's sleep can end up sharply, as a fighter who has lowered his gym to lose two consecutive fights, leading to insufficient income to take care of his sick mother. IPPO also suffers from fraudulent syndrome, which becomes important for its development and trajectory.

The show is also simply a great boxing story, by getting some of the most exciting fictional boxing matches that have ever been set on the screen.

"Hadzime not Ippo" is not only a great drama of characters, but there are also some amazing sequences in boxing. The type of fluid movements, expressive movements, changes in perspective and impossible angles are simply not something that can be done in live action. Take a move to the signature of Ippo, Roll Dempsey, which is a very realistic boxing move; To be seen, shown by steam arising from the movements of the IPO and accompanied by the sound of a running engine that reinforces the action and simply makes a much, much cool moment every time it happens.

It is this stronger realism that is inherent in anime and makes the sport anime special, because it can make any sport better than it is. Watching the Ippo Punch as an opponent really hard with a hook is exciting, surely, but then to freeze the screen as we enter the heads of the characters and explore their motivations and backsters through retrospectives before returning to action, adds emotion in every struggle. And yet, the show still has realism when it comes to combat techniques, which helps to inform viewers of the real sport and the history behind it.

That's something "haikiu" also doing very well, another sporting anime on the IMDB Top 250 list (number 157). This recent show is Perfect gate in sports animeAnd it is a fantastic combination of stories with character and simply stunning sporting action. Whether you've never seen a second of volleyball, or you're an expert, the show is to appreciate the art and skill included in sports, technicality, physical power, tactics, and even the psychology of playing team sport. After watching a sports anime like "Haiki" or "Hadzime No Ippo", it is almost impossible to see the right thing without wishing to pause and read the competitor's thoughts.
