I really don't mean to drag down the hype for this season, but it's a seriously weak adaption of the manga. The production value really took a hit for this one too, the colors and linework look good but the animation is pretty weak during exchanges. I just wish they didn't cut my man Shimabukuro's character intro to basically nothing, and his fight's progression so short. Really loses a lot of impact and just makes him look like another mook to build up Ippo.

2020-11-01 20:30:23 +0000 UTCThe Shimabukuro fight is the only "sacrifice" made by the anime. Nearly 60% of its content is missing. Ippo met Shimabukuro before the fight and they have a very funny moment where Ippo accidentaly shows his dick to the journalist during the weighting (Shimabukuro noticed it was "like a Boa"). What happened here is that they had to cut most of this fight content because it's no the "main event" of the season and they probably couldnt make it fit in the season as it was planned. The problem is that it makes this fight feel very fillerish in the show, while it's just as detailed, thrilling and incredible in the manga. You saw in this episode that Ippo and Shimabukuro crossed punch : in the manga, Shimabukuro punch LIFTED Ippo from the ground during that exchange, because he is shorter and incredibly powerfull. I always hated they shortened this fight like this, it's probably the only case where the anime clearly failed and sucked. Fortunately, the rest of the season is top notch. The sacrifice had to be made for economical reason.

2020-11-01 20:08:23 +0000 UTCTotally agree that the backstory wasn’t really necessary. I think the manga handled it slightly better with Ippo’s mother explaining the backstory to Kumi, adding some characterization to Kumi allowing her to understand his motivations better
