I've been listening to the One Piece and Naruto OSTs at the gym. Some damn good songs in there.

There's only one soundtrack to listen to at the gym, and that's Hajime no Ippo.

Naruto OSTs are the best! I like Nodame Cantabile OST too.

Oh, good sir! You need rep. Nodame Cantabile is the best.

Yeah, these are my favourite off the HNI soundtrack.

And of course all of the openings! I wish they'd hurry with a new season. No news since 2009 on it. The manga is almost 600 chapters ahead of the anime by now, that could easily be made into 100 episodes with no fillers. It was quite popular too so I don't see why not.

Another favourite of mine.

Maruyama the founder of studio MADHOUSE hasrecently acknowledged that, due to financial pressures, production on Satoshi Kon'sThe Dreaming Machinehas been stopped. If they are in depts I'm skeptical we get something Hajime no Ippo related any soon. It's not exactly the mostprofitable series. Which sucks. I am currently going through the anime again and hopefully reading all of the manga this time.

That's really old news, and also very disappointing from Madhouse. Satoshi Kon expressed worries about the production of Yume Miru Kikai after being informed of his illness, but the producers at Madhouse promised him everything would be okay and that they would complete it. If they don't, I officially hate Madhouse. I don't care what else they've done, they need the honour Satoshi Kon. It dosn't make any sense either. They've already completed half the production, half of the animation is done. I don't understand why they halted it because of financial issues, no matter how bad the ecomomy, Madhouse are still one of the largest and most successful studios out there and is there a single doubt in anyones mind that Yume Miru Kikai won't be a success? They've shot themselves in the foot. Though I guess there's a lot more than meets the eye. Still, hurry up and get on it. I haven't watched any anime in absolutely ages and have no desire to, but I'll do whatever it takes to see Satoshi Kon's final masterpiece.

Yeah I know it is quite old, I was lurking for some news on Ippo Season 3 and came across it. Shame if it doesn't get produced after them promising him it would be done.
