All the extreme shyt to me is what made it great :russ:


If it was just boring SOL them playing Bball..... I probably would hate it


But the fukkery the dramatic over the top shyt:mjlol:

That damn near was the Jojo of basketball all they was missing was Stands:russ:

Kurosuke was more like GOH for basketball, but with a simpler story.

Its main selling point (like GOH) was all the extremely unbelievable shyt they'd pull off in games. That's pretty much why I enjoyed both series so much. I knew what they excelled at and just appreciated it for what it was. I knew I wasn't going to get the realism of Ippo or the drama of Slam Dunk. What I got was nikkas playing basketball with super powers and it delivered.

Hinomaru Sumo is prolly the most recent sports anime that is closest to Ippo in regards to great animation, cool characters, realism, and drama. It came out around 2018 and hardly anybody talks about it, but its definitely a top 10 sports anime. The pacing is great and you look forward to every episode. Plus the action is good without going all super powered up. That show is super slept on.

Parents is a difference between Ippo and Kuroko. Makes the characters feel more genuine when you can see who raised them, be proud when they've found their passion in life.

facts

Kuroko barely had any adults/parents and was just super focused on balling. Whereas Ippo literally took you into the world of boxing and showed all its layers and people that were effected by knowing someone that seriously trained as a fighter.

GOH,,, I can dig that

and I agree Ippo was a good show..... I just can’t put it over Kuroko


Like I can’t recall one ep of Ippo that was better than 111-11:mjlol::mjlol::mjlol:


That ep alone can go toe to to with most other anime shows & genres :wow:


That ep was like when Gohan went SS2 vs Cell, Naruto snapping & giving Pain that work, Speedwagon getting murked, so on and so on:wow:

Kurosuke No Baske is a top 5 sports anime and I loved that shyt, but I can't place it over Ippo and I love basketball too. (not as much as boxing tho)

shyt was too unrealistic. nikkas were playing ball like it was NBA Jams from back in the day. nikkas shooting lights out from anywhere on the court. Super powered passes and moves. The drama wasn't even that deep because it mostly consisted of nikkas just trying to find ways to get better. Ahiru No Sora kills it in the drama department and was way more realistic. Its just that its animation cant hang with Kurosuke or Slam Dunk.

Slam Dunk makes a better case cuz it had drama, showed the technical aspects of basketball, animation was good (not Kurosuke level, but better then Ahiru No Sora) an overall was just more balanced an realistic. Its just an older series, so some might not check it out, but its truly a masterpiece.

even then Hajime was just way more inspirational. That shyt would hit you in the feels and you'd be like :mjcry:

Akashi was my favorite character from Kurosuke tho. :ohlawd:
I loved how they broke down the zone too. That's prolly the best explanation of it that you'll ever get in team sports. They did that perfectly.




I got Hajime on my watchlist. I can tell its gonna be goat.so I'm keeping it for later along with Ashyta no Joe.

I love realistic sports anime(slam dunk , Initial D) and also unrealistic sport anime equally. idk unrealistic sports anime is extremely fun to watch and hype like Kuroko no basket and Prince of Tennis. :lolbron:

it gets over the top sometimes and you're sitting there

yeah, that's the shyt that separates Kuroko from Ippo.

first enemy in Kuroko is shooting threes from half court.

as an INTRODUCTION.

I'll admit it keeps you :gladbron::gladbron::gladbron::gladbron:

but the first bad guy in Ippo had e looking at Hitman Hearns vids,. shyt is like a gateway drug,


This gets me all the time like :whoo:

LOL he's already in shooting form before catching the ball.

Mannnnnn, I think it was the beginning of the second series that showed how much Ippo took after his dad. I was all fukked up on episode ONE man :mjcry:

Ippo found a way to make every single fight a spectacle and every fighter a threat. Not a lot of shows can pull that off. Even the warm up fights had you sweating. And when one of the team pulls off a win :banderas::lawd: you end up hitting the gym the next day believing that every rep is gonna count :wow:

Those dudes were a$$holes :mjlol:
