If you liked Hajime no Ippo add

...then you might like One Outs add

Let me start by saying that I couldn't care less about either of the two sports portrayed in these shows; Boxing and Baseball. However, I WILL watch the hell out these two shows about these two sports. Although Ippo is more about working extremely hard to achieve your goals, learning life lessons, and getting punched in the face constantly, while One Outs is like watching a baseball chess match, all while learning obscure rules, strategies, and facts pertaining to baseball. They both have an addictive quality that caused me to sit around on my days off, feverishly watching shows about sports that I find boring. I even started doing pushups, situps, etc. while watching these shows because they have an extremely positive messages and for some reasonthey just inspire me to work harder. I'm not a huge anime fan, by a long stretch (although, my MAL list beg to differ), but I've never had cartoons impact me the way these have. Good shows, both of them. Take a look!

If you liked Hajime no Ippo add

...then you might like Shijou Saikyou no Deshi Kenichi add

It's a lot like Ippo, but to me, it just seems a bit trite and full of fan service. Don't get me wrong, I have had a few lol's out of it (the voice acting makes Kenichi seem super frantic and twitchy, which I find humorous), but I wouldn't suggest it for older adults. It's a very teen oriented (is Shonen the right word???) series. Lots of training, fighting, and boobs.
