Ippo: The New Challenger – 13
April 3rd, 2009 by Sylf
What good is it to have a beach episode with our favorite girl character in sub-optimal form? Why did they have to switch the voice actress for Mashiba Kumi from the first season? For that reason alone, we’ve considered not releasing the episode, do our own fandub version, only release the April fools gag version etc… But we failed to come up with a convincing solution for this episode. So, here you go. If you want to still watch this episode, watch this and mourn with us.

nice episode 13 already out thanks
It was pretty obvious.. it made me re-think the voice cast and I went and re-verified that every other voice actor was the same except for Kumi.
I like the “sea lice” tag on your post ^^ I’m also glad that ANN finally updated the page for this series with an ep count of 26. I really hate how they put 13 for so many series that end up being more; if they don’t know they should just leave the thing blank. Because you get antsy thinking “oh wow I’m at the end of the series and there were no rising plot elements, the series’ ending is going to bomb or there’s going to be an s2 in a year..” and then it’s like “oh.. it wasn’t really 13 episodes.. @*#&$@#$!!”
SD?
I really doubt this series being only 26 episodes. They’ve been hinting Takamura’s world title match since the beginning. If they really do it, we really can’t fit much in only another 13 episodes. I think we’ll be in for some long haul.
Is there gona be a SH version?
thanks.
There’s no need to be begging or asking for low res version. In the future, just wait around for up to 3-4 days, and it will come.
I have to agree with you on this one, this new voice is neither cute, sexy, or young! It kinda sucks, its not an “important” plot caracter, but its still ippo’s girl!
