The HNI anime is coming back

http://imepita.jp/20080914/517260

That says in January 2009. My bro say he saw rumors on 2ch about it being 90 episodes. The 70 something plus OAV and movie got them to volume 35 last time. So another 90 episodes will only go as far as volumes 70 or so. Which, if I recall, is around the Sawamura/Mashiba fight.

Cloudy · Sep 15, 2008

I recommend Major if you liked Ippo

wait wasn't it Takamura who did that?

sprsk · Sep 15, 2008

Oh god. Yes.

Some people speculate it will start with the Hammer Nao (gerosen) fight. I hope they cover the Takamura title and the flashback arcs, though.

Rorschach · Sep 15, 2008

PLEASE BE TRUE!

MickeyKnox · Sep 15, 2008

Would be fucking awesome.

Well, that page says exactly that, New Ippo series to start in January. It definitely doesn't look faked.

rollingstart · Sep 15, 2008

The main fights I really want to see are

Takamura vs Eagle

and

Sawamura vs Mashiba

. I also can't wait to see some Itagaki action going on.

WHAT TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE WAKE ME NOW

Beezy · Sep 15, 2008

Hoooly shit! I just started rewatching Ippo yesterday!

r4z4 · Sep 15, 2008

YES! Please be true! Dempsey Roll! All over my face!

Holtz · Sep 15, 2008

WIN WIN WIN!

Relix · Sep 15, 2008

I just need confirmation from a source and more info. If this is true... my life will never be the same :lol

Takamura vs. Eagle? FUCK YEAH!
The Sawamura fights?
Balf-michi's return?
The funny antics of Ippo and Kumi?
Eiji vs. Ricardo Martinez

I really hope they keep the same animation style, it looked awesome. The music wasn't my cup of tea at first but I came to love it... and Inner Light is just awesome. I am kinda sad I read the manga though, I wanted to see everything animated... but w/e, I stopped reading for now. Let's see how far the anime goes.

syllogism · Sep 15, 2008

There's certainly more than enough material as long as you don't expect a conclusion or even

Ippo vs Miyata

. I suppose by the time anime catches up, things might be different.

r4z4 · Sep 15, 2008

Confirmation?

MickeyMoose · Sep 15, 2008

*squeals like a little girl, prays for truth*

thuway · Sep 15, 2008

YES YES YES

Did the look-away punch get animated, or did that come too late for the anime?

thats very far off in the manga, even further than

Takamura's eagle fight or Eiji's world title match

Omg omg omg omg. First anime I am dying to see in years. Please don't be a lie.

Pein · Sep 15, 2008

fuck yes

MarkMan · Sep 15, 2008

I AM SO HAPPY

*hugs for all*

Meier · Sep 15, 2008

Truly, the best anime-related news ever.

Oh, a thread split. Really good idea actually.

Holtz · Sep 15, 2008

2009 is guaranteed to rock now.

GrapeApes · Sep 15, 2008

Means I won't start watching till 2010. It seems like a series where I'd rather watch a chunk than once a week.

Relix · Sep 15, 2008

Thanks, it was much needed.

Once more...

HELL YEAH!! Best announcement, entertainment wise, of the year for me.

2nd seasons scheduled for January 2009.

From the president of Madhouse Studios.

So happy

Tom_Cody · Sep 15, 2008

speedpop · Sep 15, 2008

Still need to go back and watch this series. I read the manga up to vol 40 I think and just got a bit tired of the formula.. but I will always love Takamura.

Fucking pleeeeeeasssse happen. Finished the entire anime a couple of months ago and looked into a few chapters of the manga but found it didn't hold the same magic.

I'd love another round of episodes.

tissot · Sep 15, 2008

YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Dina · Sep 15, 2008

Ah, good news. i'm hopeful.

Cipher · Sep 15, 2008

Nemo · Sep 15, 2008

NO FUCKING WAY!

I think I'm crying

Kabuki Waq · Sep 15, 2008

I wonder who will license it.

The first one had a weird release schedule in the US for dvds.

flintstryker · Sep 15, 2008

Aeris130 · Sep 15, 2008

Noooooo...

I never should've lost faith and read the manga. I just hate anime adaption when I already know the story...
