The blocky animation you guys are talking about is probably just for the TV version. They might clean it up and stuff for the DVD release.     |

noteDhero said: I'm not liking the soundtrack so much, it's much more generic and less energetic than the previous series or the movies. Is it just me or were the character designs less angular and stylized in the other iterations. I remember the musculature being more defined and much more realistic than they seem to be now. Especially in the fights, where it even looks like the production value isn't as high as it used to be. Maybe they just evened it out so there wouldn't be such a disparity between the training and fighting aspects of the show. Also, it feel like they have really taken cues from Kaiji for the worse. I don't remember the dialogue being so corny. True on the music, character design and fight. It's all under the quality of the first series (I just watched the full series plus movie and OVA in three weeks, that is since the beginning of 2009 till today), except for the dialogues that haven't changed one bit since it's taken from the manga as naikou mentionned. Still, I'm pretty sure that I'll come to love the music in some episodes, but the art and animation really hurt, especially since it's weaker than the first series released nine years ago (a bit the same as Gunslinger Girl, but that didn't prevent me from loving the second season too). The direction is strange, I'm still trying to understand how it has evolved but I'm not sure it improved. Still a great episode, even with all the problems that I mentionned.  In every age, in every place, the deeds of men remain the same. |

I won't sat that this anime is predictable, however, I can't say, that I didn't see this coming either. Hope, Miyata will somehow solve the Bloody Cross problem. |

So far so good, it's not the regular at the last minute miracle punch. This is actually a very smart fight. (Sorry Ippo-kun) Can't complain about the animation, I feel this series received a nice upgrade on that department, we also got to see some blood on the mat as well instead of just a dirty swollen face. Can't wait to see how this fight will end. xD |

Not as fun as the first season, but still good. Hopefully it isn't Miyata all the time. |

This is a high level, entertaining battle. Nothing simple or easy is gonna come for Miyata in this fight. And he is PISSED! I'm looking forward to the comeback. on this one. By the way, was I the only one terribly embarrassed by Ippo's damn cheering. He's your rival for God's sake! Ippo has no idea how to play anything cool.   |
