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

:u: and you get to see the anime weekly.

ep13 is out.

Man all the Ippo talk around I’m gonna have to get into this.

:shake: yes you do.

Still waiting for the new chapter. Now we have Miyata with the Light Speed Punch and Ippo with the Dempsey Roll that Coach Kamogawa seems to want to turn into an Infinite Dempsey Roll. Bad-ass.

best birthday present :woot:

:p: chapter 848 :p:

Do it. I started with the 1st season since the end of last year and I haven’t regretted it ever since. One of the finest examples of sports series I have yet to see (alongside Slam Dunk). Oh, when you do watch the 1st series, make sure you get the soundtracks; they’re absolutely awesome.

Aw man, I think they really did change the seiyuu for Kumi.

Thankfully, I’m liking the new voice for Kumi already. She sounds pretty sexy compared to her old high-pitched seiyuu from before.

It kinda reminds me of when they changed the seiyuu for Sakura in SF4.

EDIT: 10:10 - 10:50 of Ep. 13 was epic! :rofl: Holy crap, this was one helluva funny episode. :rofl:

I’ve been checking all day on wednesday and I check here randomly and you posted it. Nice.

so…

Spoiler

Who wants to bet that Takamura is going to bait this guy to try and finish it and knock him cold with his right of steel?

Well, this chapter surprised me. Not what I was expecting…

Seiyuu? Really? They’re frickin’ voice actors…

Taka-grope = win!

I only watch the anime, but does Ippo actually confess his feelings to Kumi in the manga or is this going to drag on for 100 more episodes?

the only time he confessed was at the beach like you can see in ep 13.

I recall a scene in the manga where Kumi and Ippo were in a room together (they were set up by the guys), but Ippo self-cock-blocked again. :bluu:

know that you mentioned it, yeah i remember that. :rofl:

They need to add a chick for Sendo to fill in the lack of manliness that is Ippo…

:u: (in best rocky/jerry springer chant) sendo… sendo… sendo… :tup:

re: to Seiyuu or not to Seiyuu…

not hatin but… when the original title is shorter to type and is still understood :wonder: is there a problem with using it? but then I rather type VA after my 1st voice actor reference… :sweat: unless there actually are jpn VA and us VA for the same thing… :confused: oh wait

Are you referring to the chapter where they all went to the beach and Ippo and Kumi got drunk as skunks? Ippo didn’t self cock-block. He blames Sapporro beer Co. and the fact that Kumi is a self medicating alcoholic orphan.

Episode 13 was hilarious indeed. :rofl: The Takamura ghost and grope bits just shined through the entire ep.

And yeah, I thought Kumi’s new VA was rather solid and much better than the older one.

Yeah, I think I was confused. The scene in Ep. 13 was the scene from the manga that I was talking about. When I said what I said, it was before I watched Ep. 13.

Lots of funny moments in Ep. 13. :rofl: The Speedstar sub is available, but the timing of the sub display is off.

lies! lies! no woman can contain his insanity!
