The art isn’t as sketchy looking with the bodies, but the designs are captured wel. The resolution and the depths to the color are a step up from the first installment. In the end, rather than cutting out some parts of the manga and having been a little reliant on some unnecessary recaps, I give the story and characters. But I think they did the story arcs of the Martinez and Date fight and Ippo’s fight with Hammer Nao justice. Sometimes things were too fast due to those omissions, sometimes things were too slow just to concentrate on certain dialogs, and there are times it was just right. Next, I felt at times the pacing was unbalanced. But for those not familiar with the manga, the first season had some cuts as well such as Mike Tyson’s story inspiring Ippo to box and Aoki painting himself black to get Ippo ready for Jason Ozuma, so omissions in this version I find aren’t too surprising as well in retrospect, but I felt the omissions were still bad ideas since those scenes did contribute something to the establishment and progression of those sections of the stories.

I feel I can forgive that because I think it deserves it’s own OAV or TV movie, especially under Nishimura Satoshi’s direction (which I heard is now confirmed). And I can’t deny the cut of the Kamogawa and Nekota flashback story arc. For example in the Date/Martinez fight, Okita fought in the undercard in the manga, but for some reason they cut it out in the anime and yet, they dedicate half of an episode to recapping Ippo’s fight with Date in the first season when they could have done something more productive instead.

To me, Ippo vs Sendo 2 was actually the beginning!!! Since then, I decided to read the manga and currently up to date on it which is now nearly 90 volumes, and I’ll say I still haven’t gotten enough!!! But moving on, to a certain extent, New Challenger for what it covers is faithful to the mangaĪbout 85% of the time though a few things are omitted.

Even though the first anime series was 70 plus episodes, I felt I didn’t get enough by the time I finished watching it. To start things off, I can say is that it’s about damn time that a new anime installment of Hajime no Ippo came under way. I've learned what is the thing that makes man GREAT. When this anime ended, I've lost part of my soul with it, but yet i learned something that cannot be learned in any school. And now i'm feeling a bit lighter, because I've shared this with you. When you are touched by something, you just cannot stop. I started up, thinking this review is gonna be very short. It doesn't deserve any number.īecause when you put one part of your soul in something, you cannot give it any limitations. It seems stupid, but that's the thing that can push you up when you feel like dying.Īnd you know what? Forget crap like marks. It shows you that there is nothing, NOTHING more important, NOTHING more valuable than FRIENDSHIP. With your friends, your guts, your will, will of steel. This is not an anime about some superhero. And it actually shows you that this is not impossible. Those boxers have something that keeps them on surface, not letting them sink. This anime shows that there is no just 'brute force' in boxing. You have so many different people here, each one better than another, all unique in some sort of way. You know, reviews are about scores, studying all segments of series, but this anime HAS SOUL. I know this review sounds like shit, and there are 100% lot better reviews then this,īut I'm sorry, i can't write review about this series and not get my emotions here. Watching them get beat up and yet stand again. The 'gang'.It always looked like I am part of it, laughing and sorrowing with them.

You get to know each one of the characters in the series. In this anime you don't just have pure fight, action non-stop. Yet i never imagined that anime series about boxing could be much more interesting than the 'real thing'.
