This really wasn't that good. /a/ overrated the fuck out of this.
What part did you not like?
Only normalfag like it, therefore a hated it
>>288191033ippo was way better
Someone could create the greatest work of all time and there would still be retards like OP
People shitting on op but he has a point
it's almost 60 years old now. i respect it for being one of the OG mangas.it's harder to come up with something original than it is to use someone else's existing work as inspiration and refine it.
Ok
>>288191033Its one of those series where people remember the highlight reel. Rikishi's fight is S-tier and the ending is legendary. Whats in between is whatever.
>>288191262What point? Saying "I don't like this" is not a point.
>>288191315what a shit opinion
>>288191033The build up really made me believe he was gonna at least get something out of it.../spoiler
>>288191033I agree. This manga romanticized getting beat up really bad which contributed to several Jap boxer dying in the ring.
>>288192767>Wait until he learns what Araiguma Rascal did to Japan
>>288191033ok OP whats your Greatest of All Time anime then?
>>288191033It is actually that good.
>>288192767i seriously doubt this. there was like one notable death of a japanese boxer in the last 60 years until the recent years. and those guys would've been inspired by ippo if anything.
>>288193120Joe dying is universally known in Japan. They love it because it evokes the "samurai spirit" of dying in battle. In reality it is pure stupidity because it hurts the image of the sport and mentally fucks up the opponent that killed a boxer. Meanwhile in the west, the most popular boxing meme is Tony from Rocky 3 crying "Throw the goddamn towel!!!" Because believe it or not the west cares more about the athletes well being than in the east.

>>288191033I'm afraid it was good. Maybe you're just not a big enough boy to enjoy it yet.>>288193993I'm pretty sure I've heard something about the author saying he doesn't die.
>>288191033It is good but it certainly is overrated. Its golden cow status on this board is mostly undeserved. There were manga in the sixties with much more complex narratives and it's not even the most well drawn series of its time.
>>288191033>>288191159>>288191315>>288192767kill yourselves faggots, it's amazing>>288194183like what?
