Shindragon posted:Anyone who hates Takamaura should get Demspey Roll'd. His defense bouts have been pretty weak, and I kind of hated the animated Hawk fight. It was so... lame compared to the manga. But the second series was weird and not quite on point the whole time. But really Takamura is long overdue for another belt run.

Ytlaya posted:But the guy Takamura is fighting right now is currently in his same weight class, so why would he have an advantage? Like, yeah, when he was in a heavier weight class I'm sure he would have been stronger, but currently both him and Takamura have a low body fat % and should be around the same weight and thus have similar musculature (if anything, it seems Takamura would be a little buffer if he's also shorter than the American). Stress on the body is part of it, crash dieting is not very good for you. If his opponent is at his natural weight he wouldn't feel underweight and exhausted, for one.

Specifically, the second season of the show is kinda crappy. The Hawk fight isn't done very well IMO. The third anime is much much better and better done but it does have the problem of not having the great first part fights to run on.

Is there actual word the series is ending or is everyone just jumping to that conclusion because Ippo lost? I ask because it certainly doesn't seem like the kinda thing this author would do unless there was some outside prompting like health, falling numbers, a traumatic life event, etc. It would be kinda cool if the weekly format was just too much at this point and it shifted to a monthly more serious end game focused story with this as the pivot point, but I'm sure that kind of format change would have been announced.

Gedo happens right before and it's a real loving garbage fight. At the time I was like "gently caress if this is how it keeps going I'm gonna have to check out." Then Woli happened and I did.

tbp posted:doesn't season 2 end with the best fight in all of HnI? i can't see anyone not wanting more if they make it that far In the manga certainly, but s2 as a whole and the hawk fight in particular were really disappointingly adapted, in my opinion. It’s drawn out in a weird way, looks goofy instead of intense, and the first season sound is missing so we get a way lamer soundtrack. s3, whatever flaws it may have, has the s1 ost style back, and the eagle fight (which I was luke warm on when I first read it in the manga after hawk) almost makes up for how poorly they did the hawk in s2

Ytlaya posted:Wally brings the traditional Indonesian weapon of the Karambit into the match and disembowels Ricardo. This is deemed to be within the rules, as the Karambit were carved from Wally's ribs (and are thus part of his body). He can suck his own dick now too which is very impressive.

maybe in terms of early style but I don't feel like anything except the calibre of his punch is the same as tyson at this point, nor for a very long time.

I recently read Tokyo underground, which features a lot about the 60s and 70s of Japan. Hawk reads as identical in his vileness as the Evil foreigner wrestlers they would bring in for the pure hearted Japanese wrestler to defeat. This set up sold 20 million tvs in the 60s!

Eight-Six posted:if you stuck around after ippo/woli and somehow this is the straw then I don't know what to tell you other than lol, lmao I did not stick around. In fact, I’ve been following this thread closer than the manga for nearly 15 years since the first woli fight. And In following recently it’s been “hey, this is actually getting kinda good again.” And now we are here so hey, I stand by my choice.

Probably, but more specifically hawk was pretty much every American wrestler in the 60s in Japan.
