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.

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.

It's actually over 1000 chapters deep now lol. It doesn't seem like it will be ending any time soon either as far as I can tell with the current chapters.

Won't happen, it hasn't even happened in the manga yet. If anything it will probably be the last fight of the manga.

The title of the 3rd season is confirmed to be "Hajime no Ippo: Rising"
So MAL finally starts locking news threads that are only a few weeks old?

I wonder where was the announcement of this change? Or we are seeing yet another case of changes made that impacted users but not communicated to them?

I wonder how long people would put up with this.

As much as I have a bunch of information to share about anime announced recently I cannot share it in news board, and the anime series is too disorganized and chaotic to share information except with people already interested in the particular series.

This year's greatest news.. i even punch my book when reading this xD

"The new anime season will pick-up after the end of Hajime no Ippo: New Challenger, after Mamoru Takamura became the WBC Junior Middleweight Champion after defeating Bryan Hawk. This season's highlight is Ippo Makunouchi's match against Ryuhei Sawamura, a boxer that stopped the former's special move, the Dempsey Roll."
