Hajime No Ippo – Rising Episode 13 Impressions
Hajime No Ippo – Rising Episode 13 – A Fist That Picks You Up Both Episodes 12 and 13 were released on the same day and I believe they were shown back to back so you’ll excuse me for ending the last episode’s Anime Impression abruptly but know that it to intensify what is looking like the last episode of Ippo’s fight against Ryuuhei, I’m going to jump right back into it: SL...

Hajime No Ippo – Rising Episode 11 Impressions
Hajime No Ippo – Rising Episode 11 – Fearless Challenger If you’ve been following my Hajime No Ippo – Rising Anime Impressions than you’ll probably recall me describing exactly how I believe the series is structured, for those of you who don’t know what I’m talking about: Hajime No Ippo seems to have three episode types with a rare fourth one thrown in every once in a...
Hajime No Ippo – Rising Episode 10 Impressions
Hajime No Ippo – Rising Episode 10 – The Face Of Determination What a fantastic and suiting name for an episode like this, Episode 10 “The Face of Determination” is the episode that finally kicks off the highly-anticipated bout between Ryuuhei and Ippo, and I couldn’t honestly have created a layout for an episode better than that of this one. Hajime No Ippo has a real knack for c...
Hajime No Ippo – Rising Episode 9 Impressions
Hajime No Ippo – Rising Episode 9 – A Savage Scenario Continue directly from what has been happening in the last few episodes of Hajime No Ippo – Rising the team are still trying to evolve the “Dempsey Roll” into something that can overcome Ryuuhei’s threats and, once again, allow Ippo to defend his title against an opponent that swears he can crush the technique.

Hajime No Ippo – Rising Episode 8 Impressions
Hajime No Ippo – Rising Episode 8 – The Mad Dog and the Red Wolf Hajime No Ippo, as a series, has a certain structure; there are pre-fight episodes, the fight episodes themselves, post-fight episodes and then there may possibly be an entirely humorous episode thrown in just to change things up a little bit. Episode 8 is very much a pre-fight episode wherein which Ippo must now train up the D...
Hajime No Ippo – Rising Episode 7 Impressions
Hajime No Ippo – Rising Episode 7 – Cheese Champion Episode 7 of Hajime No Ippo – Rising was a mixed bag of fun I’d say. This week we returned from Aoki’s big fight and, despite his inevitable loss, he returns to the gym in good spirits and with two followers who were so inspired by his match that they now want to be exactly like him, it is a very humorous and a typical ending to...
Hajime No Ippo – Rising Episode 6 Impressions
Hajime No Ippo – Rising Episode 6 – The Distance Between Me And Glory The episode where it all comes to an end, the fight that is, and I never expected it to go down quite the way it did. We’re met with Aoki’s “Frog Jump” from the last episode just to put it all back in perspective for those viewers who had forgotten how exactly the last episode ended. This episode wa...
Hajime No Ippo – Rising Episode 5 Impressions
Hajime No Ippo – Rising Episode 5 – 100% Fake As far as crazy episodes go, this one would have to be one of the craziest. Episode 5, 100% Fake, begins with the start of the fight between Aoki and Imae which began at the very end of the last episode, I say “begins” because the last episode showed nothing of the fight except for the combatants entering the ring. The way I do these ...
Hajime No Ippo – Rising Episode 4 Impressions
Hajime No Ippo – Rising Episode 4 – The Goddess Of Victory This episode starts off literally exactly where it left off in Episode 3 (click here to see Episode 3 Impressions) with Aoki being stark-naked right after weighing in for the match as his challenger Imae walks into the room to see his full-frontal nudity. It contrasts the two fighters and also does a good job at both lightening the mood an...
Hajime No Ippo – Rising Episode 3 Impressions
Hajime No Ippo – Rising Episode 3 – A Woman’s Battle Ippo’s fight against Shimabukuro is now over and the episode begins with his recovery after the fight in the last episode. For the first five minutes of the episode Ippo is asleep and the audience is introduced/reintroduced to three lovely ladies who all have “a thing” for Ippo and that’s where we get the title of t...
Hajime No Ippo – Rising Episode 1 Impressions
Hajime No Ippo – Rising Episode 1 – Greatest Challenger The Fall/Autumn Anime Season has just started and, for the most part, I’ve been really excited for Hajime No Ippo – Rising, considering I watched the season that came before it during my high-school days you can probably understand that nostalgia plays a big part in me wanting to return to this franchise. Before I go o...
