Finally; after watching the raw twice, we have a sub. http://www.mininova.org/get/2255663
Well, animebreakers is out, but their website doesn't have torrents for some reason.
I've watched the first english sub available at mininova, and that was a translation from a french sub...
It was more than enough.
It's great how the tension builds up all the time, even with easy eps like these.

Ippo vs. The Champ was pretty exciting... and considering that it was a meaningless spar, one can only assume how awesome the fights involving Ippo will get. But it seems like his first fight won't be till quite a few episodes more. We got the Date fight, then we have to choose an opponent, then all the random crap thrown in, then some training, etc. etc... so it'll be a while.
Should Ippo fight against the guy, it will be around the end of the season from your description and scenario wise. It would be strange to have Ippo going for the world quicker than Mamoru himself. We need to have a bit of Mamoru Hax too, thus Ippo important fight could be at the end.Originally Posted by Munsu
For some reason I see Date losing hard again, that's necessary to add lots of fuel to Ippo's will to fight and win.
Other than that, the spar wasn't very interresting, except for the tension before and when it started.

Well another ep with some background and promised fight only starting, we'll have the most promising moments next time.
For some reason I do not see Date waiting for Ippo as King of the Hill, because Ippo is way too inexperienced to skyrocket to the top of the world, as his spar with the World Champion showed.
As of yet, Ippo is not refined enough. He has raw power and stamina, he has the will to fight even his body can fight alone almost when he's almost KO. But he lacks strategy, body placement, sharp movements and he needs to refine all of his gestures and body talking to always do exactly what's necessary without any unwanted and unneeded movements.
But that in itself is possible only with lots of training, as they said last ep.
For the begining of Date's match? well I'm a bit surprised, but you need more than one punch.

Does anyone know how many eps this series is going to have? i just wondered that they take so much preparation time for this fight.
And im really excited to find out who will win. If they want to keep Date active within the series, he has to win. But somehow i have the feeling of "tragic defeat" when watching this episode.
Af far as length of the series, its really only depends on the studio as there are currently nearly 500 chapters left to catch up to the manga. Take that as you will...
ANN tells 13 yet, but they don't even have all of the titles yet.
So it's hard to know.
My guess is that they may go for 26 and see from there.
I can't think of it finishing at 13 eps since Date arc needs 2 or 3 eps at max to be finished.

I don't know if it would be a good idea to stop it as early as 26. Ippo is quite popular and there is also a ton of material for them to work with if they decide to keep this series going for a longer period of time.Originally Posted by David75

They should be making more anime of manga like this and 3x3 eyes where there are a ton of content to work with rather than series that barely has 50 chapters (soul eater) and then destroying the story once they catch up to the manga.
edit: damn it, i tried to edit my previous post and somehow got a double post, could someone please delete the one above?

They need to start Hunter x Hunter up again too. It's been long enough.
In spite of the obviously low-budget animation, this is still one of the most intense "fighting" scenes/episodes I've seen in recent memory.
Gosh, stoping like that just before the tension and pleasure climax...
So Ippo has punches up to the level of Ricardo Martinez ones.
He certainly doesn't know since he didn't let him approach with his barrage during the sparing match.
Interresting.
