The Hajime no Ippo (HnI) thread - Gazelle Punch Her in the Gut!

must ippo always be so gay for myata

he wouldnā€™t be ippo then.

Iā€™m seriously stoked and canā€™t wait till this episode is released! Especially since the manga is so far ahead, they have all the time in the world to keep making eps!! woot.

They jacked who off wtf?

Chapter 58 better beat hayami show boating ass!

Wooohooo Its back

This anime is one of the best of all time, PERIOD. 2nd season will be hot. I havenā€™t seen a request for a 2nd season of an anime like this before. It even had a petitionā€¦

Somebody listened, and for that I am extremely grateful. :china: Iā€™ll be sure to buy this season on Blu Ray (hopefully).

Iā€™m just wondering why it took Mad House over 5 years to get this back on the air. American response to this anime can only be rivaled by Naruto, but that animeā€™s for emo kids who plot to kill their siblings, whine about vengeance, so on and so forth.

Are you sure about this? I wouldā€™ve thought that the reason that it took Madhouse this long to revive HnI was because of a lack of popularity.

actually itā€™s 7 years since the last ova came out and quite frankly i donā€™t think petition had anything to do that a second season is now aired either.

the american response on ippo was bad when it aired. dvd sales of the series did not break even. (only 5000 dvdā€™s sold) blame the lack of marketing and the negative appeal that a ā€œsportsā€ anime has on the mainstream audience.

letā€™s hope this will change with the new season.

/co sign

Can you imagine that youā€™re only scratching the surface of this manga? Itā€™s going to be a great read, very true, but youā€™re gonna need some free time. I started reading this manga in 2006, and seriously, I stayed up all night reading all 700 chapters. It took more than 12 hours.

Speaking of which does anyone know how long this season is going to be? 75 episodes like the last one? Because Iā€™m wondering if the Mashiba vs. Sawamura(?) fight is going to be in there.

So, no Subs yet huh? None on anime Suki gah they lied to me :frowning: they said :(ā€¦

Dubs or subs? Dubbing is voice overs, which probably wonā€™t happen because the anime got released, and second, american dubbing sucks most of the time.

lmao

this reminds me of myself and the sleepness nights iā€™ve spent when i marathoned it. though it was worth it every second.

no information how many ep. rumor has it 90 ep but if you ask me that is bullshit.

as for the subs. you gotta give it a little while, it just aired. besides, despite how much we all love the series, it doesnā€™t have the fan following that makes for a near immediate release.

just be patient, itā€™ll be subbed when itā€™s subbed.

Oh sorry, I mean subs lol. The American ippo sucks so bad.

I would definitely love to catch up to the manga, but I got nooo time for it. Thatā€™s why Iā€™m banking on the anime to catch up me on speed. They usually cover multiple chapters per ep.

to be fair americans have gotten this box set mentality now. Thats why u see alot of box sets outā€¦which is also a big part to combat piracy since their thin boxsets now which are alot cheaper. As well as geneon refused to make a boxset for ippo. I honestly was waiting for a box set. I still want a box set.
