"Rikiya Koyama, the voice actor of the Mamoru Takamura character in the Hajime no Ippo boxing anime franchise, has revealed in his blog that a sequel to the Hajime no Ippo: New Challenger television series is being planned. Koyama was posting about the end of dialogue recording for the series, since the cast just finished work on the 26th and final episode. (The final episode, "New Challenger," aired in Japan on June 30.) At the end of his Friday blog entry, he wrote, "Of course, a sequel is also being planned!!""
I post the above as a reminder that the effective 3rd series is planned. The petition i am starting here is a reminder to producers that fans are still waiting. We want more, as soon as possible. We loved the series and want to know whats to become of our beloved characters, the glories, the defeats, the growth.
To the producers i say this, you have created something great, please dont let it die. I have laughed, i have cried, it has been a wonderful journey so far. My hopes, and that of other fans are now in your hands, please dont let us down, bring us more Hajime no Ippo.
