To anyone who liked Kenichi I suggest checking out Fighting Spirit (also known as Hajime no Ippo).
Very similar but it's about boxing.
I LOVE both Kenichi and Fighting Spirit.
Kenichi is better in some ways, Fighting Spirit is better in some ways.
And the manga for both are still ongoing!!!
Unfortunately to who interested in owning Fighting Spirit on DVD it's now out of print but rightstuf still sells most of the singles (there's 15 volumes in total; 5 episodes per disc) and the TV special "Champion Road".
The singles not sold at rightstuf you'll have to find elsewhere like amazon or ebay.
If FUNi did get them i think there will need to be at least 4 or 5 OVA's before they picked them up.
I think there's only 2 episodes planned though, since they're bundled with limited edition volumes of the manga.
Any more episodes would be part of a brand new season. Sales for these OVAs will probably determine if there's any interest to make a new anime season (money to be made).
