Finished the second season of Hajime no Ippo (New Challenger). I watched the original season years ago and had the later seasons on my list for awhile. Though I watched the first season and the movie dubbed, the later seasons were never dubbed. At least this one wasn't.

But I was reminded of why I love the series big time when I binged the last 6 or 7 episodes in one sitting. The world title match between Takamura and that scum bucket Hawks was so damn hype, so jaw dropping, so insane. Not gonna lie, I can't remember the last time I cheered and shouted from an anime. That fight was amazing. the champion is one of the biggest scumbags in recent memory and was an absolute monster and wild animal in the ring. Seeing the boy Takamura finally flatten him was cathartic.

Such a great series.
