About One Pound Gospel

One Pound Gospel (１ポンドの福音) arrives as a comedy anime by Studio Gallop (1988), and the premise is easy to summarize. What the story covers: Hatanaka Kosaku, a hopeful boxer, has a mean KO punch. Unfortunately, his dietary willpower is weak, and he regularly eats greasy hamburgers right before a bout.

Soon after, as a result, he has to compete in higher weight classes and as soon as he takes an abdominal punch, he vomits, which causes him to lose the match in shame. As he tries to grapple with his weak will, he meets Sister Angela, a novitiate at a local convent. While Sister Angela strives to help Hatanaka in his endeavor, he seems to make her training to be a nun more difficult.

In a comedy series like this, timing, character chemistry and running gags decide whether it lands. Voice work is led by Tooru Furuya as Kosaku Hatanaka and Hiromi Tsuru as Sister Angela. If you count yourself among viewers who want something light between heavier series, put it on your list. At 1 episodes in total, it is easy to plan a viewing schedule.
