Hajime no Ippo: New Challenger
Synopsis:
Ippo continues his career as a professional boxer, trying to live up to his role as the Japanese champion. Now that a new generation looks up to him as both a role model and a target - even though he's still a little green behind the ears himself - Ippo must develop his skills both inside and outside the ring. Can the kind Ippo ruthlessly crush his challengers and be a man his younger peers can look up to? And ultimately, can he take his skills to the level where he can follow in Date Eiji's footsteps and aim for the international title? Pro boxing is a difficult sport; Ippo and his friends - even the mighty Kimura, must survive in a competetive world where all others must fall in order for one to rise to the top...

add recNew Challenger is for boxing what Initial D is for car racing. After watching either anime, you will most likely feel like putting on gloves; To fight, or to drive. They are both inspirational, comical, and feature supremely skilled main characters in the chase for greatness.
Major Season 1
Honda Goro is a little boy who is obsessed with baseball. As a child, he watches his father, a professional baseball player, be removed from the Blue Oceans’ main team due to a shoulder injury that left him unable to pitch again. However, since his son looks up to him more than anyone else in the world of baseball, Goro's father decides that he can't quit just yet (as pitching is not the only way to be able to play baseball!). With his father's shining example, Goro decides to never give up as well, working his way into the Japanese Little League as a force to be reckoned with!

add recIt's a hard hitting, spine tingling, emotion rattling anime. It starts off a little slow but once he hits teen years it just explodes. I stalled during his early years but once he hit his teens I could not stop watching this anime. Simply amazing. What Hajime no Ippo did for boxing this anime did for baseball.
