I have pretty much the same reaction. Re-using a gimmick is worse than the gimmick bullshit itself, but that last panel expression will at least keep me interested for a few more chapters.

New Ippo! http://www.onemanga.com/Hajime_no_Ippo/869/ It's not bad, though Woli lasts for another chapter too long.

Coughing Hobo posted:New Ippo! http://www.onemanga.com/Hajime_no_Ippo/869/ Not a bad chapter, even though you can tell Ippo's going to push him into the corner and Woli'll use the move he used on Vorg. Still, it felt very intense, and I hope the fight keeps up this pressure.

Ya ya, It's really nice to see Ippo finally acting like a champion and not being shaken up by little stuff. Baton Pass indeed.

Looks a bit disappointing. Ippo swings around, makes no progress. Thinks he hits him in the midsection/liver once, but it turns out he blocked it with his elbow. End of the comic, he charges Woli after finally cornering him. He's then met with a smash a la Sendo. Hope he doesn't get thrashed around for a graphic novel, only to one-shot Woli. Fight is playing out like this so far, goons. Guess who is who

Well, it is supposedly a strong rumor that a sequel series is coming. The dude who plays Takamura's voice mentioned it on his blog, according to this link (and a few other joints I happened upon in Google). Seems that the success of this follow-up series is really kicking it off. I'm glad the animation is better, at the least. The first series (~75ish episodes, was it?) looked rather out-dated in its animation  Anyone who can read Japanese could probably confirm it here. As for when? Lord knows. Probably a year out.

Ippo in particular looks a bit wonky in the new series, i thought. Either way I liked the second series more than some, and I'm looking forward to seeing gendo's flashback animated

It was a blind shot and it's gonna hurt, but Ippo's not going to take one of those again. Woli may like his new 'toy' and try it again, even though he seems to lack the raw power of Sendo's work. That, and Ippo's head is made of rock and lined on the inside with marzipan. How much time is left in the round?

See, these latest fights have been bothering me. I love how Ippo has reached the stage where only one of his punches will completely gently caress the other guy up, but then the opponent has to rely on gimmicks so he doesn't get raped. And I don't really like that. I miss the Sendou fights, where both fighters were kicking the poo poo out of each other, not dodge dodge dodge HIT oh he's down.

I think by having Ippo take down gimmick after gimmick, they try to have you believe that Ippo is still gaining worthwhile experience from each fight. What they're really doing, though, is slowing down Ippo's progress as a boxer so that Miyata can catch up. Cause I don't care what Miyata can throw in the ring, it wouldn't take more than ten of Ippo's punches to take him down, currently.

They have to put the two of them in the ring together really soon, as Ippo is still the #1 contender for the oriental title, unless he just skips that and starts heading for ricardo now

The coach's plan is to work their way through all the National champions of the OPBF. So that means 16 more fights till he's done and any Japanese fighters that come his way.

So, this match is really goddamn racist even by HnI standards. Woli is a noble savage who competes against civilized training and glorious nipponese samurai spirit with his innate physical ability attained through living in a jungle and eating lots of bananas.

Liver punch, Smash, DEMPSEY would be the most hilarious thing Woli could do to Ippo though he'll probably just be Miyata and Hawks gay baby.

Raw is up. Basically, Ippo shakes off the Smash and closes in. Woli then switches to Hitman style a la Mashiba. He begins darting out flickers, but Ippo reacts pretty quickly. He blocks them and closes in, swings at Woli, but he uses his footwork to dodge just like Miyata would. Woli goes  mode and tries flickering Ippo again, but he closes in and blocks/dodges every single swing this time thanks to moving in a zig-zag pattern. He begins driving Woli back in to the corner as the chapter winds down.Seems to be a compilation fight of sorts. The coach mentions that Woli may be copying some of the best fighters within the weight class' recent history, but Ippo has beaten all of them at some point or another. Thankfully, the Smash was the only legit hit. Adding to that, he's keeping level-headed. I really hope there isn't a trump card, but as it stands, Woli and Miguel are already looking rather jarred, thanks to Ippo.

Holy poo poo this chapter got my hopes up then dashed them soundly When Ippo starting moving in his "signature" way I was hoping for the rebirth of some ridiculous ultra Dempsey Roll (That we only caught a glimpse at back at the Scratch J fight). While he's got him to the corner we know this is where Woli is gonna pull some bullshit, it's what he did to Vorg.

If this were Bleach, the whole Woli can use different moves exposition would have taken up the whole chapter. Instead, we got that, Ippo's rebound, and now forcing him into the corner to use whatever he used on Vorg. Maybe the fight will finish sooner than we thought? VVV
