Whoa, great news.

I was genuinely surprised at how good the first and second seasons were, so looking forward to this.

 

[Minigo]

fuuuuuuuuuu I never watched the second season, is it any good?

 

[chickdigger802]

The Sawamura fight and the Okinawa guy are coming up, both of which were pretty good fights.

isn't

magician

around there too? Hated that one :/

 

[Dark Octave]

One of the anime I want to see very badly yet have never found it while casually looking. I may have to finally turn it up a little.

 

[dragonflys545]

WOW!!!!! YES!

 

[Ricerocket]

Fuck yeah! One of the best anime out there. Can't believe it took this long

 

[B-Dubs]

isn't

I doubt they'll make it all the way to that one. There's still the guy who

Spoiler

only throws jolts

which was pretty crazy and a few other fights for both Ippo and Takamura before we reach that guy. Unless they seriously advance the pacing from what they usually do, this season should still have only good fights.

 

[blind51de]

Any fight in a manga where your waiting week to week over the course of 2+ months is tiresome.

It was longer than that. Plus the fight developments were ridiculous even by HnI standards.
Even readers in Japan were fed up.

 

[Jirotrom]

fuuuuuuuuuu I never watched the second season, is it any good?

its really funny

 

[L00P]

Man, never thought this day would come. Takamura was great in the last season, but I wanted to see Ippo fight his...umm..rival dude. It's been awhile since I last saw the thing

 

[Mumei]

There is a GOD!

FUCK YES!!!

Now all we need is:

1) New Bleach season.
2) Fairy Tail new season.
3) Dragon Ball remake. Full series
4) Kenshin full-remake.

And I'll die happily.

Yes!

 

[RoryDropkick]

I'm just sad we won't have Kenji Utsumi as the coach. Rip.

I'll miss hearing him and Raoh at the same time.

 

[GekigangerV]

I'm just sad we won't have Kenji Utsumj as the coach. Rip.

I'll miss hearing him and Raoh at the same time.

Yep, I wonder who they will get to replace Kamogawa.

The ad seems to show them going up to atleast volume 57. I just hope we don't have to wait half a decade for another follow up. They have over 100 volumes to draw from now.

I also hope this opens up a "Victorious Boxers 4" game with the Boxers Road mode from the second game.

Funny enough I think my first thread on Neogaf was the announcement of the second season.

 

[The Giant]

HOLY SHIT, this is very good news.

 

[IrishNinja]

SHIT YEAH looks like it's time i caught up first though haha

 

[Andiie]

Oh wow, very cool.

 

[A Pretty Panda]

Need to watch second season

 

[Dragoon En Regalia]

I'd love to care about Hajime no Ippo, but not until Ashita no Joe gets localized for Region 1 by Discotek or RightStuf! This stuff's important: it's one of the most influential and important anime franchises of all time and people don't know shit about it in the States.

JOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOEEEEEEEEE!

 

[Surreal]

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!

 

[Witchfinder General]

FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK YESSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!

My favourite show/manga of all time!!!! Wooohoooo!!!

Interested to hear just how good the opening song will be. Nothing will ever touch Inner Light from the first season:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dmdOSIzsq3Q

A song so good I use to psych myself up for sparring.

 

[Hazaro]

Fuck yes

Champion Road Intro always gives me chills.

 

[Rflagg]

I love this show, this is great news.

Semi on topic
Is there a reliable and safe way to get complete box sets of older anime? I would love to get Kenshin and this into my collection, but prices I found online all seem stupidly high.

 

[bobbytkc]

Has the manga even ended?

 

[fertygo]

Sawamura my favorite character finally will make appearance, so yessss

2nd seasons music couldnt touch first season

 

[Ifrit]

Fucking finally, how long has it been from the previous series? 4 or 5 years?

 

[Jirotrom]

too long!

 

[HyperCubed4]

Thank you, Based God. My body is ready. I can't wait to see how they animate the final fight. Its hard to see what (end season spoiler)

Spoiler

the Dempsey Roll ver.2 looks like in the manga.

 

[AlphaQuack]

Oh my god this is the best i've heard in all week. Hajime no Ippo is my favorite anime together with Cowboy Bebop!

 

[Vicetrailia]

YES! Finally I can watch Anime again. It's been years.

Has the manga even ended?

No way.

 

[vort3x]

WOOOOOOO!

Love this show! About time!

 

[toastyToast]

OMG OMG OMG

OMGOMGOMGOMG

OMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMG

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

 

[Jirotrom]

I feel like I may be this shows biggest fan, I can't believe so many don't know of its greatness

 

[Iadien]

Awesome, I haven't watched any anime in a long ass time. I will watch this though.

 

[Panzon]

Great news. I thought they gave up on this for whatever reason and now I don't quite get why it took them this long

 

[NaviLink]

Freaking finally. I thought this would never happen. Hopefully they'll have better animation than before.

 

[Necrovex]

I might finally give the first two seasons of Hajime no Ippo a watch after I complete Utena and Aku no Hana. I might cosplay as the MC for the next convention I go to!

[Jex]

If Tsuneo Imahori isn't doing the music again I'm going to be very disappointed.

 

[ZiZ]

yes!

Ippo is the only sports anime that appeals to me.

 

[B-Dubs]

This Fall, anime is saved!

 

[Meteorain]

Ippo lost just once, but everybody else lose all the time

Takamura never loses. Ever.

Too Godlike for the world.

The official title for the third season of the Hajime ni Ippo anime is Hajime no Ippo Rising. The staff also unveiled the first image of the series' titular character, Ippo Makunouchi.

George Morikawa's original long-running manga has spawned two television anime series, an original video anime project, and a TV special. Hajime no Ippo: New Challenger, the second season of the anime, aired in 2009. NTV will stream both series for free in Japan from August 3 until September. Hajime no Ippo Rising will premiere this fall.

 

[FrostuTheNinja]

[Tizoc]
