To start things off, I can say is that it’s about damn time that a new anime installment of Hajime no Ippo came under way. Even though the first anime series was 70 plus episodes, I felt I didn’t get enough by the time I finished watching it. To me, Ippo vs Sendo 2 was actually the beginning!!! Since then, I decided to read the manga and currently up to date on it which is now nearly 90 volumes, and I’ll say I still haven’t gotten enough!!! But moving on, to a certain extent, New Challenger for what it covers is faithful to the manga read more

26/26 Episodes scene

The anime still has the same feeling it use to witch is good.

It continues right where it left off from the 2 movies and even fills you in a little on the movies just in case you missed them. As one of the best story lines in all anime there is not much more I need say about the story of the second series/ season its still just as great as the first one.

Art I would give it an 8 out of 10 but since they improved noticablly from the first season I gave it a 9. ... art is kinda read more

The fights are pretty extreme, with a lot of blood. The stories are otherwise totally different and unrelated. Theres just that same EXTREME feeling when there are fights.
It has action, fun and great characters!
