Story: 7/10 Hajime no Ippo: New Chalanger is alot better than S1. All fights had more Substance than any fight in S1. The fight between Date and ricardo was one of the best fights Hajime no Ippo had to offer together with Hawk vs Takamura. I love that besides our main character ippo every one gets to shine like Date, Aoki, Kimura, Itagaki and Takamura. Character: 8/10 Like in S1 here in S2 the characters are all well written. I have lots of fun just watching their fights and their interactions. Art: 8/10The art is alot better than S1. its more detailed and crisp. Some punches are visually amazing.

Sound: 7/10

Also the OP and ED are very good and the ost is remarkably better than S1.

Enjoyment: 8/10

S2 was so much more enjoyable than S1. The fights were alot better, ost was also better. All in all an improvement.

Overall: 7.6=8/10
