Hajime no Ippo: New Challenger

Compared to reading the manga, the pace of this is pretty quick IMO. Although im not entirely sure, the pacing of the new series is a faster compared to the first one IMO.

Maybe because the manga has over 800+ chapters, so they are rushing it? If thats the point i would hope they stop, as it just ruins the already great series.
 
I think the pace is just fine. The segment with Datte was an excellent way to frame things for Ippo.

Does anyone know how many episodes this season is slated for?
 
I think I remeraber seeing what Blackdeath said somewhere as well but I can't remeraber.

I think it's kind of obvious it isn't a remake though...Why would they name it "New" Challenge and do a remake of an anime known as one of the best shounen out there? Oh, and the picture given on ANN and stuff...I don't remeraber the guy with the light brown hair in there. Which just tells me it's a complete sequel and he's some new guy.

Anyway, the RAW is out. I haven't bothered downloading it to look but hopefully someone subs it soon. I've still got to finish the movie and OVA first though. >_>
 
Right now there are 13 episodes and still adding atleast 1 episode per week of Hajime no Ippo :New Challenger
the manga have 846 chapters and also uploading 1 chapter every week.

If ever ippo would be a dancer i think he would probably looked like this.

hahaha!!! LOL!!

Do you think Aoki and Kimura will also be a champion like ippo and takamura? Love this anime!!
 
Very good news indeed. I was completely late in getting into this anime but I ate it up in a very short time. Best shounen anime. Ever.
 
True enough.. but I've been terribly dissapointed in the past so forgive me if I'm a bit sceptical.

Episode 1 Raw is indeed out.. give or take 2 days for it to be subbed. I mean.. there are subbers for this 'sequel'.. right?
 
I'm watching the first episode of the new season right now and I love the animation. It does exactly as Opace said in how it just starts off with immediate action. The killer is seeing Ippo do the Dempsey Roll in the first 2 minutes of the show in this crisper animation (Ashoka is right on with that one). Loving it so far...and I'm glad the gang has kept their personalities.
 
YES!...YES!....YES! the new hajime no ippo is out =) BUT its not been subed yet steel got to wate
=( the opening look good and the animation looks crisp
 
I don't read manga, but from what I hear, it's usually better having the manga ahead of the anime than having the manga and anime at the same point (Bleach is an example of what not to do).

The series seems to be moving at a decent pace at the moment, I'd just like to know if there's going to be another 60 episodes or another 13... I'm just curious if anyone knows.
 
I just watched the first episode and while I like the animation and story I am not really into the character design. I wish they would've gone for a more modern look, but oh well. and the penis play was a little weird.
 
awsome
I'm a really big fan of the series XD
and I was forced too follow it by manga
I love the message behind that anime...never give up!!
 
From what i read on ANN it said this series is continuing and not a remake, ive caught up with everything now and am just waiting on that damn raw getting subbed.
 
Well first ep is subbed and out, the show has not missed a beat, jumped right back into the action, and quickly built us up for miyata's title fight. Awesome.
