Yesss! Finally would love to see how the animation would be! More Ippo is always a step in the right direction.

This is great. I was just rewatching th series again. I'll hold off on New Challenger until near the time for this to come out.

YES YES Hopefully it's as good as the original series, the second season wasn't that great. Mainly the pacing and music.

It will be sad without Utsumi Kenji though. I thought Miyake Kenta sounded just as good when replacing him as Zodd, I can imagine it working in this case too. We'll have to wait and see though -3-

I can't be the only one who had New Challenger's opening theme song immediately start playing in their head at this announcement.

Those who read manga. How many episodes could the 3rd season have? And is there room for more seasons? Appreciate all replies.

Oh Joy! This is great... Yeah they really make us HnI fans wait a long freaking time between seasons. But it's totally worth it. There's just so much more material to cover, and this anime makes money so I was definitely expecting this to happen some day.

They have more than enough material to animate at least two series of around 50 or more episodes each if they really tried to, and it looks like they're going to be making a decent amount of episodes if the promotional poster is anything to go off.

This is fantastic news, I've been waiting for this for several years now.

I'd never read the manga because it's too long but I enjoyed both animes.

It'd be nice if it was more than 26 episodes.

I have the best God Damn timing ever!
I just finally finished catching up with the anime last Saturday. And then I finally caught up with the manga just last Tuesday. I did NOT expect another season any time soon, and never cared much for the series- but after marathoning the manga, I couldn't get enough! I tried looking for a series that's similar to no avail. This is just EPIC news. Hopefully it'll turn out good. Can't wait :D

But it kinda sucks that I'm have to wait so long. I don't really watch shows weekly, so ima have to wait till it's completed. Anyone know how many episodes it'll have?

Really good news. The fall season is shaping up to be GOOD.
5 main aspects I base my ratings on:
1. Did DramaEnthusiast make a thread about it?
2. Is it better than Breaking Bad?
3. Did MellowJello recommend the shit out of it?
4. Has it caused a (very entertaining) shitstorm on MAL?
5. Is it actually good?

Scratch the fifth point, it's not very relevant...

seriously happy that ippo's getting another season, cannot wait to see the next fights animated since they're some of the best, especially in terms of character development and world building/story progression.


On a less serious note i cant believe i actually squealed yes like a little fangirl the moment i read the news.

Except it can't start at the Sawamura fight, at least, not if they want the series to make sense - aside from the fact that they left it at the point when Ippo vs Shimabukuro is about to happen in New Challenger, that particular fight is too important to the story for them to just skip it over. Okay, yeah, they switched around the order of Ippo vs Sanada and Mashiba vs Kimura, but they could get away with that because those fights didn't effect each other aside from the way Kumi's involved. Ippo vs Shimabukuro on the other hand is a fight that's all about showing the weakness of the Dempsey Roll so that other boxers - in this case Sawamura - can exploit it, and exploit it brutally at that. Add in the relation that Shimabukuro has to Sawamura (however small you may think it is) and it's pretty indispensable.

On another note, I think it'd be really great to see Nekota/Kamogawa's backstory as a starting point, would be a really poignant place to start the series.

I hope it is more like the first season. In comparison with the first season the second season really wasn't that good.

I agree ..the only good thing about season 2 is the OP song and takamura vs hawk*that creepy guy* *EPIC FIGHT*

hope that in this season there will be a world champion fight between Ippo and Ricardo Martinez =)
