I loved it, because we finally got to see them shoot a fair one.. and not that cheap shyt by Priscilla the first time.

Hell if this was WWE, i marked out when Teresa showed up on some '99 Backlash Stone Cold Steve Austin shyt.

All that scene needed was glass shattering and JR on commentary:

"Faint Smile! :gladbron: The Faint Smile is here! :ooh:The Number 1 Claymore is back! :ohlawd: And she brought a can of whoop ass!:noah: "
That's Teresa's music :damn::damn:
Finished 1st season of Hajime no Ippo, 10/10!!

Great fights, great cast(even the non training/fighting parts was fun), loved the ost, really motivational too.

Ippo vs Sendo title match was just incredible, definitely my favourite fight of the season. When Ippo pulled off the dempsey roll and got the knockdown to start the fight :whoo::ohlawd:
Volg vs Ippo was another great one, Volg had such a cruel end to his story, hopefully he'll be back later in the series. A top 3 character for me despite the little screen time he had. Sendo and Miyata are dope rivals for Ippo too, rooting for all of them. Mashiba the only one of his main rivals I don't really care for.
I liked that Ippo's first loss was in his fight vs Date. I was wondering when and how it would happen, they handled it really well. Can't wait for the stakes to get higher and they shift the focus more towards the world title(i'm assuming)




Chills every time this song started playing, so good :wow:


Few days break before I start the 2nd season.

This another fukking classic.

When Ippo put it all together in that final sequence :lawd::to:

I just thought on this, and this is gonna sound wild.... but Clare is Deku from MHA done right.
Man that is a intresting comparison on the low. They start out surprisingly similar.

-Neither is the typical gutsy shounen main character

-Introduced as untalented stragglers who got the No.1's cosign off of pluck.


-Inspired to action from admiration of the #1




BUUUT thats pretty much where it ends because the execution sends them worlds apart. Claymore is a harsher story. Claire been catching hell and it makes Deku's grind seem light by comparison. Her story was really about cutting a path through complete darkness toward an impossible seeming goal. Just that winter mission alome was impossible odds with an impossible goal and the whole manga is like that. Even by the end she was still a small fry to the Abyssals, the new 1&2 and the world beyond the continent.

Deku is being nutured to meet great expectations but Claire has never had those. Her superiors had been trying to kill her from like the 10th chapter :mjlol: just a different world

A lot of the reasons I shyt on Deku/MHA is because the writing gives Deku amazing shyt constantly and its completely unearned. Deku only bruises up for pushing his limits. Clare is off looking for her limbs after a fight and the guy with her is low key driven insane by watching her take punishment over and over. Its not just a few bad scenes with moms and sad faces. Its some shyt. And you watch that dude live his whole life with that trauma on his chest.

Deku is in a tight spot and he suddenly gets bailed out by the ghosts in his quirk the MOMENT he needs it. Clare? After getting her ass handed to her, she levels up by attaching pieces of her dead superiors to herself then goes out looking for that fade. Clare's 'team' ain't even that good but they aggressively find ways to make plays - and they ain't really ain't even friends, they're survivors with hardships as a common point. They're survivors. Deku.... they keep trying to do the same thing and its just consistently a mess.

I'm on record saying they should've killed All Might instead of having him disgrace himself and the presence he demanded by lingering around like this too.

Done right? Claymore. The blueprint is there. Its why I'm always disappointed with MHA. They steal ideas all the time anyways. Just execute. This shyt is easy.
