Review of Fighting Spirit: Champion Road

I'm not entirely sure if this is based on the manga or not, but this seems more or less just like a couple episodes of Hajime No Ippo. Same pacing, some of the same music. Usually I find fault in a lot of anime movies, but I have absolutely no complaints here. Hajime No Ippo is a great show, regardless of genre, and nothing has changed here. If you've enjoyed watching Hajime No Ippo, or you just want to get a sneak peak of what the series will entail, I would say this is a pretty decent representation. Of course you wouldn't understand all of it,as this takes place directly after Hajime No Ippo, however I think this is relatively digestible for new viewers!
