As far as Hajime No Ippo: The New Challenger goes, do you need to watch the first show to know whats going on, or at least to understand the background of the characters? I would just watch Fighting Spirit cause I heard its good, but really don't want to watch 70+ episodes.

Sean · 07-02-2009, 03:22 PM

Yeah, you pretty much need to watch the previous series. It plops you right into the storyline right after the previous series took place. There's a ton of character development that you'd be missing.

There's no reason at all to skip it either, it's an amazing series from start to end and definitely one of the most worthwhile "long" series to watch.

eVasiege · 07-02-2009, 03:47 PM

Damn, did not want to hear that. The only show that could keep my interest past the 52 episode mark was FMA, and even then I started to drift a little bit.

Seig · 07-02-2009, 03:50 PM

You'd probably be disappointed if you start with The New Challenger. It's a pretty realistic series, but a few moves are super exaggerated in the 2nd season.
And the main character is a high school student who starts his career as an amateur with no boxing experience so half of the fun is seeing his progression.

Oh yeah and Umineko No Naku Koro Ni(When the Seagulls Cry) looks pretty good from the first episode. The atmosphere and character introductions makes me think it's like a game of Clue, but there will definitely be supernatural elements since the series is related to Higurashi.

Sean · 07-02-2009, 04:14 PM

Don't worry too much about the length - it gets pretty damn engrossing and you won't tire of it at all.

Kaige · 07-02-2009, 04:40 PM

is FMA going too fast or is it just me? I know they're trying to avoid copycatting the first run and getting to the manga stuff, but #13 seemed like it jammed way too much into it. I don't want to see them run into the same thing as the other series' out there that keep having to crank out filler every few weeks so the manga can get ahead.

Seig · 07-02-2009, 04:47 PM

The manga will be done within the next 10 chapters so there's a 0% chance of the anime catching up to the manga. But yeah it seems like they're rushing by the content that everyone has already seen.

Sean · 07-02-2009, 05:45 PM

Eh, they're not really rushing it. They're following the manga pretty precisely. The original anime just followed an entirely different timeline than the manga does.

This. It's almost exactly one episode per manga issue so far. They did leave out the Train one though.

Huh they covered 27 chapters in 13 episodes (which is more like 54 chapters of any other shonen series considering how many pages and how much content is in each chapter)

It feels incredibly rushed to me, but I guess I prefer this pace over the other popular shonens that move as fast as a snail covering 1-1.5 chapters per episode.

I meant two per chapter and I disagree with it feeling rushed though they have skipped some things I wish they wouldn't.

This week's Haruhi is out. It's Endless Eight.

I find myself double checking I am actually watching a new episode of Haruhi lately.

However in other news they finally confirmed Darker than Black 2 for october, now thats something to wait for.
