I hold any work that can force emotion in extremely high regard;
The camaraderie, empathy and resolve we hope for in Leon (a protagonist that in society would be disregarded and ignored).
The sheer horror from the inability to comprehend non existential thoughts/beings and the ultimate influence and motive in The Shining.
Hajime no ippo manages to force emotion in almost every genre. I cried with laughter, I gritted my teeth with painful restraint, I shared their friendship, I accepted loss, I celebrated wins.
The best part about all of this is you can share these emotions with near most all of the characters introduced.
Most of all this taught me to respect and appreciate a sport I previously thought was barbaric.
The soundtrack is incredible and the art style and direction is bursting with passion and empathy, you can feel every punch and relate to the hard work and drive that goes into every fight and training regime.
Absolutely incredible anime that I cannot recommend enough (also nearly every boxer has a real life counterpart to some degree).
