It's going to be 5 chapters of Takamura getting punched in the face while Keith crows about how it's impossible to fight against the goddess of luck, until he grits his teeth, finds his yamato spirit and then punches him clean out of the ring, killing him instantly.

im nervous it'll be stupid too but i will admit that every time we get a Real Takamura Fight (aka 4 of them probably ever, Yajima, Hawk, Eagle, Bison) it's been quite great

While Takamura ultimately won pretty easy. Goat was a pretty good fight too.

The most merciful thing in the world, I think, is the inability of the human mind to correlate all its contents. We live on a placid island of ignorance in the midst of black seas of infinity, and it was not meant that we should voyage far.

Yeah nah, I'm getting heavy Johnny Cage vibes off of him both in personality and design. Could this be subtle foreshadowing to his 'luck' really being a secret illegal ball punch that the ref never sees?

rising ends off more or less JUST at the point the manga becomes unbearable for hundreds of chapters sans the comedy and a few bouts here and there. wonder how they'll manage the adaptation, especially because there's no phenomenal stopping point either

if they go all the way through woli (which would be long as gently caress unless there's a ludicrous amount of condensing) they could frame it as ippo being ready to go to the world but that would be one HELL of a misdirection considering his face explodes the instant he tries

Animation is incredibly expensive and is usually not worth it unless you're selling a ton of other merch alongside. Most manga/ln adaptations are meant to sell the manga/ln, and HnI is long past the point of needing an anime to sell copies of the manga. That's also why you see incredibly popular manga/ln anime adaptations just end after a season or two, since they are generally not meant to be a thing on their own.

Dunno how else to say this but (carefully handled) misdirection often makes for good story telling

Either way just cutting 80% of the stuff up until Ippo v Alfredo and condensing it into a season of the highlights should be good for a season. Sincerely hoping they'll have the guts to cut some of the fat when animating this.

Yeah, outside of this, the only time you see it happen is when it's a passion project, really. Like OPM's anime was in the first season...though, I suppose, maybe it lead to an increase in merch sales or something? I dunno.

It sucks, but That's Capitalism, sadly. I just got several of my friends to watch all three anime adaptations (and the movies) over the last few months, so my ending it and saying 'and that's, like, maybe 2/3 of the manga? There's quite a few great fights and lots of humor since then, but the odds of our seeing another anime adaptation is low, so...'.

ippo didn't get to 1.3k chapters by being in a hurry

i think i prefer a lazier pace to some of the more recent manga lately. Dr. Stone has been moving way too fast lately, as an example

oh absolutely, but if ever there was a tonal shift that i think would legit cause people to drop the series, it would be between a hypothetical "ippo will now challenge for the world title" ending of one season into "ippo is brain broken" the next

See the thing is, I don’t agree it wouldn’t improve sales.

It’s actually been long enough the series has faded out of discussion or interest. A new show or continuation would really revitalise interest in the comic and if they’re clever, they could just skip most of the OBPF because it’s mostly filler anyway.

It's not a matter of simply increasing sales, it's about how much you pay for that increase in sales.

He definitely looks more sickly than he's typically drawn. Makes me wonder if that's why Takamura is in a rush.
