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 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 =)

The age of the anime has absolutely no relation whatsoever to whether the show is good or not. Ashita no Joe is over 40 years old and it's still far better than a lot of modern titles.

Also, if you're referring to how the age of the show will have an effect on the animation quality, Ippo's animation is still a lot better than a lot of shows that have come after it - it's not only amongst the best of the sports genre, but anime in general.

I don't think you should let the age of the show deter you from watching one of the greatest sports shows out there.

I was like that at first too, but I gave the show one episode, and I marathoned the whole thing. This was about two years ago. Though, seems like I'm going to rewatch it now.

Despite it's age, the first season of Ippo is by far better then most of the shit that's been coming out lately, give it a chance I guarantee you won't regret it.

Actually it's over 1,000 and what does it matter? They've already adapted like 300 of them.

Multiple seasons or a long running series. I'd prefer it if they did one long season and took breaks whenever the anime started to get too close.

Handsdown best sports anime, can't wait for this, especially if Madhouse is doing it.

Hopefully, madhouse will spend good budget on this for animation and ost.
