| Ring ni Kakero gets a lot unnecessary hate when it doesn't even deserve it. Sure the anime is quite recent, but the manga is older than Hajime no Ippo and DBZ, and the truth is, Ring ni Kakero was the one to start this whole over the top stuff we get in plenty of shounen mangas today. It was successful, and today, it's one of the best selling mangas in Japan of all time. It even had a drink named after one of the characters' special move. Ring ni Kakero is NOT a parody. It's a tribute to Ashita no Joe. Ring ni Kakero is NOT Saint Seiya with boxing. Actually it's the other way round. Saint Seiya is Ring ni Kakero with greek mythology. Ring ni Kakero is older than Saint Seiya. The characters of Ring ni Kakero are stereotypical, but Ring ni Kakero started these stereotypical characters that we see often today in the first place. So really that's not even a decent complaint. In brief, the Ring ni Kakero anime is basically a 70s series with modern animation and not some anime that tries to copy Hajime Ippo's popularity or whatever stupid shit like that. Hope that clears things up. |

| Hajime no Ippo (isn't even sharing the same genre with Ring ni kakero ("super-sport") nor is Ashita no Joe (sport drama) of the same vein. The only common points are that Ippo and Rinkake owe to Joe and that thebbb ki. |
