Date lost wtf >_<!

I’m a total Hajime noob, but I keep hearing about how good it is. I recently downloaded a full series (I don’t know which exactly) I know there’s a few series, right? Well, the one I got is about 70-ish episodes, I haven’t sat down to watch it yet.

Someone tell me what makes Hajime awesome, the pluses and negatives, etc! I wanna be excited about watching it. For reference, Punch-Out is one of my fav game series of all times, is Hajime similar to what Punch-Out would be, if it was adapted into an anime?

there is only the old series with 76 episodes, one movie (champions road) and an ova (mashiba vs kimura). (watch it in that order btw)

the new series (hni: new challanger) has just started.

well, what makes hni so special? it’s the rocky underdog story that people can relate to. ippo that starts boxing and rises to the top with hard work. the anime has practically no filler, it is fast paced, the action is top notch, the humor will make you rofl all day, the music will pump you up and there is always the big drama and emotions. it has an realistic setting so you won’t see the overexaggerations like in prince of tennis for example. the characters are so well developed that you will have sometimes trouble to root for someone particular because of their distinctive personalities…well, i could go on and on but i’d say watch for yourself! you won’t regret it.

lol prince of tennis exaggerations are so good

Didn`t Mashiba vs. Kimura happen BEFORE Champion Road, though?

In the manga, that is.

yes, in the manga it takes place before but in the anime champions road is first.

Christ you people better start putting spoilers. Ty for ruining about takamura Darkstalker.

About him beating up a bear? I think spoiler statute of limitations wears off a few years after the initial 75+ eps of Fighting Spirit ended…

lol so true.

yall cant bitch about shit u coulda read for about 4 years now.

Yes I can, I started reading the manga but stopped halfway when I found out the anime is coming. So out of consideration people should put on spoiler tags. I know damn well it’s not just me who’s checking this thread and didn’t fully read the manga.

You’re welcome. Though I did put spoiler tags. You’re blind.

And if you say what I said without the tags is a spoiler, without the context I really doubt you’d even know what I was even talking about (unless you, I dunno, **opened the spoiler tag **that I put there)

No I didn’t open the spoiler tag, and yes talking about what you said without the tags.

Then you probably won’t get what I meant.

Don’t worry about it. It’s a potentially misleading statement (which is why I opted to expose it for all to see). It’s more meant to be for those that already know what happened.

EDIT: I don’t mean that I’m unapologetic to your concerns. If you feel that I spoiled your experience of HNI with that statement I apologise. I’m just saying that the sentence I put out is so vague that I believe it contains no spoilers in and of itself.

Uhm…no. There are tons of people who haven’t read the Naruto Manga but just watch the anime, we shouldnt have to put spoiler tags everytime someone talks about the manga.

Sorry you got spoiled but get over it.

Spoiler

Stop being such a fucking bitch.

… seriously. You can’t expect people in the HNI thread to not talk about things that happened in the manga and the anime forever ago. Actually, i have no idea if it was covered in the anime or skipped, but either way you need to have thicker skin. What he said was more of a joke than anything else - it’s hardly related to the actual advancement of the story, so give it a rest.

lol at being negged for spittin truth. GO READ THE MANGA BITCHASSNESS. The spoiler rule only effects things like 3 days after its initial run in ur area. I’m pretty sure…4 years is ok to start talking about shit.

Wait wait wait!

Don’t Look!

Sephiroth kills Aeris and Darth Vader is Luke’s father!
