How are you watching this show? I haven't been able to find any raws of it, and I really want to see this show. It's almost as if the people the raw providers are consciously ignoring this show.

I'll try out Keyhole, but in this case I was working today when the show debuted, so I couldn't watch it even if I had Keyhole. Looking at time conversion I'll be able to catch the April 17, 11 AM re-airing as that would be 4/16 at 10 PM for me. But that's part of the convience of raws, as it makes it available when you actually have the time, not to mention that it would be easier for me to save an image from a raw for when or if I do a review for a title on my blog.

But thanks for the advice and take your time with Shadow's release. It's better to get as good of a release as you can do than rush it and have it be sub-par.

Nevermind, as it looks like raws are slowly getting out there. Right there they're only through unofficial streaming sites, though. I'll check them out tomorrow; maybe better quality versions will be out by then.

Yes,Boomerang Square was awesome,Cosa Nostra is also a cool special attack,and I remeber seeing it at the famicom game.Ishimatsu was really brave this episode.And I watched it with spanish sub,it's not my native language but I understand more than 90% cause it's really close to portuguese.And I also read the first 7 chapters of the manga there,google "El Templo Manga"who's intersted.Awesome Apollo(n)'s seiyuu is Schinchiro Miki,one awesome character with a more awesome seiyuu.I trought six episodes only would be too rushed for this part,but I think it's going nice paced,what do you think?The ideal would be 6 or 12 episodes?

Very solid start of this long awaited story arc. The World Tournament is on! A lot of stuff happened in this episode, new fighting moves were introduced (including Ryuuji's Boomerang Square), but the hero of this episode was definitely Ishimatsu. He defeated four professionals, four opponents, one after another. It's impressive how much him and others from the Japanese team evolved as boxers. Speaking about boxing, I didn't like the previous arc's atmosphere that much, so I'm glad we're back at classic boxing tournament's formula. ;D

It's a shame that Black Shaft was eliminated in such a dirty way before even his fight began... I wanted to see a rematch between him and Ryuuji.
