    A stroll down memory lane

    I'm trying to remember some anime from my childhood:

    - First there was one about a boxer. I remember he wanted to be the champ and killed some guy in the arena and couldn't hit anyone in the head because of it for a while

    - The other one was about 3 guys who travelled from the future to stop some event.
    I think they were staying in the home of a chick they first met in the present.
    The main guys was able to transform into some sort of mecha/bio weapon.
    I think his friends could transform too but they were only lvl 1 and he was lvl 3 or something like that

    Anyone care to help me with this one?

    First one is Ashita no Joe (Tomorrow's Joe).

    EDIT:

    Didn't take long after all. What you describe sounds exactly like Generator Gawl.

    I wreck my head around this for a couple of days and it takes him 8 minutes....

    Edit: Fun fact, i've been humming this opening for years and only now i've remembered where i got it from

    PS: Ryu, wanna be even more awesome and tell me what subber i should watch? You get extra points if you find me a torrent too.

    You can check the anidb entries I posted for a full list of subbers for every series, but I don't think anyone ever finished subbing Ashita no Joe.

    As for Generator Gawl, get a4e or Blitz subs. They both do a good job on a lot of older series...and look at that:
    [a4e]Generator Gawl 1-12.
    Seeding isn't that great, but that is pretty good for a series that aired in the late 90s which isn't an anime icon like NGE, Bebop, or Trigun.

    I got Gawl on DVD, was only 15 euro for all 12 eps when I bought it back in 2007.
