Hajime no Ippo Episode 44

good sports anime damn so caught up forgot to eat

Definitely best sports anime ever

I think it's up there but you can't rule out eye shield 21

so because i watched this before i keep expecting ippo to do some moves that he doesn't know yet. so frustrating.

i would say #1ippo #2 major # es21

when did he learn the mike tyson move

Awesome...He exploited his opponent's perfection against himself >_<
Ippo!!! You're getting stronger man !! KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK !!

I'd say it's one of the best. I rank Major with this one. For some reason, I think PoT, Ookiku Furikabutte, Capeta and Giant Killing has the same level with them as well. (That's just my opinion, though.)
ES21, for me, is just a LITTLE BIT lower than these powerhouses.
I liked Eyeshield 21 too, and I also got addicted to it, but I was disappointed when they dragged the last match for about 15(?) episodes--and worst, after that, they ENDED it, dammit. T_T

wow, he won. how suprising... : /

you guys also forgot to mention whistle! but totally understand cuz there are just an amazingly wide selection of super awesomeness sports manga/anime its hard to name them just off the top of your head.

best sports anime is still SLAM DUNK...
