That is not what they meant when they asked "how long is your reach?", Aoki.

lol at Aoki, when he gets fat and everyone says "He's lost" we don't know yet what kind of Champion is the guy who will Aoki fight with, I wonder if he'll have a chance somehow?

I also hoped that when the girls were fighting something cool would happen, like Ippo wakes up and they start asking questions until he loses it, or maybe some harem idk (Kiss x Sis much, damn) but overall that part I felt weak and kinda boring. though now at least we know he has more than one "fan".

Fat Aoki in Hajime no Ippo Vicotrious Road on PS2 is one of my favorites to use. He is pretty strong. But I am now getting used to Kamogawa's new seiyuu. Imae is actually an interesting character. Especially when you learn more about his ex-girlfriend.

But I totally dig the poster.

Lol, this episode. So we have a nice contrast in styles between the serious, textbook champion and the unorthodox goof in Aoki. Should be a good fight.

Hilarious episode this was, I had many laughs and it reminded me of the old Hajime no Ippo. Ippo would've been going crazy if he was awake during the chick fight. Looking forward to Aoki's fights.

Hilarious episodes like this one are what make Hajime no Ippo so good.
I laughed hard at Aoki's techniques and at everyone's reactions when he was fat and skin. Hopefully next episodes will be this good.
5 main aspects I base my ratings on:
1. Did DramaEnthusiast make a thread about it?
2. Is it better than Breaking Bad?
3. Did MellowJello recommend the shit out of it?
4. Has it caused a (very entertaining) shitstorm on MAL?
5. Is it actually good?

Scratch the fifth point, it's not very relevant...

ROFL this episode was hilarious, first Ippo starting a harem then the negative prediction downspiral of Aoki, with Takamura ending with
"zettai dame da" lolol

Also, "call me sir". XD Love the post fight episodes, amazing!

He's the Junior Lightweight Champion (or Super Featherweight, it's the same), that's the same category as Kimura and one above Ippo, Aoki is two categories above Ippo.

Ippo's harem is the best harem.

I just lol'd at the end when Aoki was nude.
Oh, that scene Kimura-Aoki was so heart-warming.

Can't wait to see Aoki in action.

Omg, remember reading this scene in the manga...one of the funniest imo. LOL Aoki....you one funny guy. Overall loved this episode...the first part was pretty funny as well...man Ippo's mom can bring it. Can not wait for the next episode...this fight is going to be epic....Also loving the ost, very good feeling.

I like that they're using music from the first season again. Music can make or break a show. After a decade you should use new music but if you can't do better then don't bother. I don't think they used 'Silent Eyes' once in the last season but in this episode it worked and made Aoki's "serious moment" feel right.

Overall I liked this episode because it reestablished the pacing that was broken by the previous two. Here's to hoping that it stays this way, and that they don't repeat their mistake. I was ready to write this series off until today.

He's currently junior lightweight at this point in the anime, he moved up after the Sawamura fight.

I don't remember the youngest girl, the first one to arrive in Ippo's house. It seems she's Manabu's sister. Man, I hate getting old. >_<

I actually enjoyed this episode more than the fight in the two previous episodes. I guess the lack of build-up made that fight just something to get done with.
Aoki is such a great hilarious dude. I feel for guys like him.

This series would be as good as the others if it weren't for the music score. I mean opera singing? What's with that? and the weird piano stuff. Just use the scores from before. It's enough changing just the opening and closing tracks.
