Yoshiteru said: 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." Source: jefusion That sounds to me like a 2-cour series. I was hoping it would end up quite a bit longer than that. But if the first ~14 episodes are spent on Ippo's fourth title defense, Takamura's first title defense, Aoki's title match, and Itagaki's rookie championships, maybe pushed a couple episodes further with some Kumi-based storyline, then it would leave ~6-10 episodes for the Sawamura match to be the highlight of the series and a brief epilogue/set-up for the next series, which would be in like, another 4+ years. Unless there's some more storyline that happens in between those events, but that's based on what I've read in the previous 9 pages. I haven't read the manga (yet). |

Ero-Sennin got nothing on me.  |
| fuck yeah !! It's about damn time to have season 3 of this anime .. I hope it would be a long one like 50 episode season maybe ?? It's really that good ! One of the best sports manga ever |
 |
| Just one month left to watch whole HnI... I'll try, from what I heard, anime is even better than already awesome manga. |
| I haven't seen the first two seasons of this anime, but I will try to catch up until fall because I heard this anime is great. I also like to watch anime that are airing at the time I watch them :D |

| 25 episodes: http://www.ntv.co.jp/english/pc/2013/08/1506.html |
 |
| i guess its alright :/ |
 |
| I loved New Challenger and that was 25 episodes. As long as the pacing is appropiate and it remains epic and funny as before, I won't have any complaints about the lenght. |
| 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... |
| okay it's finally here.. always waiting for this, though i prefer the manga a lot.. 25 episode? that's fine for me |
cool but where is my preview? i wanna see some glorious animation |
| 25 episodes... As long as the pacing is okay. Some people were saying it looks like it'll cover 150 odd chapters of the manga(started reading it, couldn't wait for the anime!), but in 25 episodes they can't. I wish they'd just do a longer running anime like the first! :( |
| As I checked out the new seasons characters I couldn't seem to find Kumi there at all? I always found it amusing to watch their relationship play out hopefully they get some more development |

Been a long time since I marathoned something longer than twelve episodes. Now I can't wait for another HnI episode!Just one month left to watch whole HnI...

She isn't cute at all.As I checked out the new seasons characters I couldn't seem to find Kumi there at all? e: typo |

But Kumi has to be in it, due to what happens with Sawamura before his fight with Ippo. Otherwise tbh, she's almost not even necessary. I mean, 1031 chapters and they're still at the same stage? Come on now, why is this "relationship" even there? It's not amusing anymore. |
| I'm so excited can't wait to see brand new season of Hajime no Ippo (^__^)b |
 |
| very excited |

MaceTheDon said: Fcuk Yeah! That's What I'm Talking About! With the sheer amount of source material available, they can do 150-200+ episodes, hope this is the case. *Fingers Crossed* It will be awesome but there is the danger of low budget horrible things becoming norm like Naruto, Toriko and One Piece have. In the old days studios still kept a decent level even in 200 episode series, now they just don't bother at all. |
