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

That makes me sad cuz i loved watching Kekkaishi, hopefully a second season will come. Im gonna get on this HnI pronto.

well look at what they did to the claymore anime. they fucked up the ending so bad that they need to change the last few episodes if ever they want to continue it again. :shake:

you guys think randy boy has a chance to win this fight?

go RBJ! :lol:

Take the entire family out. Have Sawamura start a motorcycle taxi service if you have to.

judging by the announcement poster yes because it says new season and you can see itagaki on it as well. besides i wouldnā€™t fear fillers in HnI because there is so much stuff to cover that there are no reasons for fillers.

Yeah that is what I loved about the HnI anime. From what I remember, there were only 3 eps of filler.

I think thereā€™s like one and a half episodes of filler:

-The one where Date recalls Ippoā€™s matches

-The ā€œBoxerā€™s Fistā€ episode that was about Takamura. This episode I felt was half filler because it had new stuff as well.

lol you should know betterā€¦im up to date on the manga.

latest 2 chapters have been translated http://ippo-online.confusticated.com/

nice looking out man! :tup:

they even have a gaiden about sendo! i hope they do these for every important character.

more chapters are out, get em at onemanga.com

specific news. 2nd season confirmed to air on tuesday, january 6th, 2009

any news about voices? I hope the animation will stay the same and the voices as well.

The manga doesnā€™t dwell on it at all now. Theyā€™ll throw in one or two chapters every couple of years or so, I canā€™t even remember the last time they were mentioned. Unless youā€™re saying letā€™s devote one issue to a total blowoff and never mention it again, Iā€™d rather just ignore it completely. Maybe a blurb that says they got married or something. Iā€™d be on board for that.

Heā€™s getting pretty old especially be Japanese standards. I think heā€™s around 26 or so now, and he still hasnā€™t screwed a girl yet. Actually he hasnā€™t even kissed one. At the pace he is going, he will fight Martinez and marry Kumi some time when heā€™s 40, and Martinez will be walking around with a cane.

Maybe he needs to step his game up, both in getting a title shot and bagging Kumi. I donā€™t mind Itagakiā€™s sister, but Iā€™d rather she wind up with Imai anyway. And that reporter chick? Fuck her, I canā€™t stand her. She should just get raped by Takamura and get it over with.

ippo is 23 years old at the moment. kinda funny that he confessed already but couldnā€™t repeat it when kumi was awake.

Iā€™m hoping that the manga ends soon, but I donā€™t see that happening
I donā€™t think there is anyone else for Miyata to fight after this, except Ippo.
They should have a 20 chapter fight.

Well, Miyata could go after Martinez, but who knows. Then if he loses to Martinez his boyfriend will try to avenge him.

Except really who cares about Ippo or Miyata. Theyā€™re both tools.

Now Sendo, heā€™s the man. Manga should end with Sendo beating Ippo in the third match, retaining his world title. There is zero doubt in my mind that Ippoā€™s true rival is Sendo.

I read the new chapters and laughed at the fact that the whole ā€œSwitched to Southpaw to Stop the Jolt and mess up the distanceā€ crap actually happened. I canā€™t believe it.

Serpent: No matter where we disagree, we agree on the fact that that reporter chick sucks. Thatā€™s all that matters in the long run.

Sawamura taxi service? Sounds like a plan.

Is it a good thing or a bad thing that Iā€™m more looking forward to this then just about any new fighter coming out in 2009. From what Iā€™m heard, heā€™s planning to release it when Ippo anime starts up with 6 fighters.

Hopefully this thread gets bumped when the new season gets subbed. But I guess Iā€™d find out on the West board anyway.

Iā€™m still curious as to who will be subbing it. Dattebayo prolly wonā€™t take it, though, IMO theyā€™re the best.
