#1 anime for oxygen lovers like myself.

It has to top Ashita no Joe first

Joe was utter shit, nobody would remember it if it didnt kill off some main characters

Slam dunk

ippo is terrible and not even remotely anything like an actual boxing match

prince of tennis is more popular and has always been

Yeah that's just like your opinion, man.
Ippo doesnt really do anything new and Joe takes a more somber tone when it is necessary where Ippo stays pretty upbeat throughout. You need lows for good shonen not just highs.

it has already been topped

Not with that lineage

>the only way a sports manga is good is if it's grounded in realism
you always forget how many retards browse this board

It's jumped shark long time ago, so like every other popular spokon is better.
>muh oxygen
>muh challenger mentality even with belt
>muh brain damage

If it was like actual boxing they would be hugging constantly.

Its an anime, you need to see it in motion.

I just hope they release a new anime season this year since it’s the 30th anniversary of the series

The first animated series was the only one worth getting into, some fights later on are worth it but Ippo becomes such a waste of oxygen after he gets the title.

not really

Ashita no joe = Kino
Hajime no Ippo = flick

I think Kengan Asura already topped it

Ashita no Joe is better and so is Slam Dunk. Hajime No Ippo is just MUH OXYGEN

Ashita no Joe = ascends anime
Hajime no Ippo = kino for an anime

>Prince of Tennis
>Ashita no Joe
>Megalo Box
>Slam Dunk
There's 4 for you, especially Prince of Tennis, arguably the greatest sports manga ever made. Ippo should have never been made.

>Diamond no Ace
Just about any sports show
