Let's class this thread up with some badass music.
So anyway, after watching the first season (with subs by Saizen) for one week I'm 23 episodes in and I love it despite having zero interest in boxing. Joe was a dick at first but now that he has gotten more serious he is starting to grow on me. The character development he got during the battle with Aoyama was great. Rikiishi is my favorite character. He feels like a likable rival character and a worthy opponent.
! What season does Rikiishi die in, anyway?
Also I'm unsure what to think of Nishi. His sudden change of character felt… well, sudden. I realize that he was scared straight by the Juvenile prison off-screen, but I dunno… It's a bit hard to buy it all.
