THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE.
----------------------------------------
Followed the manga pretty accurately...except they had Kumi's hair down as opposed to having it in a pony tail when she came out of the van, and Itagaki wasn't wearing a Nike shirt. So no complaints about this episode.

Can't wait to see
in the next episode.

havent watched the ep yet but did they fit all of the beach trip into one episode? i thought there would have been at least enough material there to take up 2 episodes.

sorry for double post, but just watched the episode and loved it, followed the manga really well and i am even happy they kept in the tomiko tit grab, had a feeling they would stop just before


this ep even made me boostmy rating of this new series from a 7 to an 8, ever since episode 9 it has felt like the director is doing a better job in matching the feel of the first season now and i'm glad.

So, before I even comment on the episode. Fuck the new Kumi. Seriously, I still don't like her.

Anyhoo, now that that's outta the way, that was quite faithful so I was quite glad. The quality of the series keeps getting closer to the first season. Can't wait for the outcome of Aoki's "revenge", ahahahaha. Neko's prank was also just as awesome as the manga. All-in-all, good episode.

Also, Boxingbeer? I bet it's fantastic!

i don't think the bike incident was in the manga though so that may be the reason

yea, I feel you on that. It's like she lost a bit of her personality or something. I hope she turns around next week into Kumi from old Ippo

I don't mind the new Kumi. She's pretty good. The episode followed the manga pretty good, and ended on a good note.
I reject your reality, and substitute my own.

Oh, now I see the main advantage of this ugly new design: it's great on funny episodes since the characters can make really nice faces ;) Good episode and really funny for once.

I love these kinds of episodes within the anime, maybe it is because they are put together very well. It is is really funny, the anime has got it all. I hope this continues on until when the manga finishes, not like they are getting close to it, somewhat 800 chapters surely they have enough material to go on until the manga ends!

It's funny how after the fight the shadow around the eyes turned lighter. (-_-)/ fail!

That aside, it was a good episode, nice to see Ippo in the Dante role. The next episode looks like a fun one.

that was hilarious xD takamura is really badass, he KO'ed a bear and fighting ghost ^^ he really loves boxing from the bottom of his heart anyway that was the best episode of hajime no ippo season 2 so far to me, hard luck for ippo since Kumi felt asleep in the middle of the confession, the end of the episode was EPIC, I'm still lathing xD the pace was good and also the art too, that was a good episode, as expected from madhouse
looks they are still in the beach for another episode :)

This episode was hilarious, Takamura took the word bold to a new level xD
It sucks that Aoki didn't get his revenge, but I was expecting that and Kumi falling asleep when Ippo was about to confess lol. But I don't know if I could get used to Kumi's seiyuu, I just loved the one from the first season, although I like her appearance in this season though, she looks more feminine here.

I can't still go over the fact that Kumi-chan has a different voice and looks rather different... that said I'm proud on Ippo that he finally managed to say it however with her asleep it doesn't mean much but I do hope he can confess it at one point in time! Lol that ending though xD
