http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2013-07-19/3rd-season-of-hajime-no-ippo-anime-green-lit

This year's 34th issue Kodansha's Weekly Shonen Manga is revealing on Wednesday that a third season of the television anime adaptation of George Morikawa's Hajime no Ippo (Fighting Spirit) manga has been green-lit. The anime is scheduled to begin airing this fall in Japan. The announcement image reads, “Ippo fights the formidable enemy, Sawamura! Dempsey breaks down!?”

Morikawa's long-running manga has spawned two television anime series, an OVA, and a TV special. Hajime no Ippo: New Challenger, the second season of the anime, aired in 2009. Geneon Entertainment (USA) released the first television series on DVD in North America. Kodansha is publishing the manga in Japan, and will release the 104th compiled volume next month.

GOD DAMMIT SOMEONE BEAT ME TO IT.

But yeah, this makes the Fall season worth watching alone, it doesn't matter to me if everything else turns out to be a disappointment (well, except Fafner), this is going to be amazing.

Ippo vs Sawamura animated makes me so happy.

Although, I do wonder how much they'll animate, they have enough material to make at least two more series of around 50 episodes +

This completely made my day. I really hope this show does well in the ratings because there's about 700+ chapters worth of material that needs to be animated and I'd love to see that get done

But I'll definitely take this for now!
