Because it jumps around so much, and establishes so little progress with each fight, none of them advance as fighters. The series jumps around between characters, focusing on ippo, takamura, and aoki of all people.
The characters and story have taken another dive, with little to no progress being made for any character.
The punch sounds have hardly any weight to them, and makes it seem like the fighters have strapped pillows to their hands, rather than gloves. It has become more obvious than the last series, and the actual sounds in the fights is terrible. The blasts of air are there, as are all the dramatic lighting and blasts of pressure by the punches. The visuals are sharp as ever with the Ippo series, and don't disappoint, unlike everything else. Whereas there were good parts to New Challenger, Rising seems rotten to the core, and I have a hard time finding anything to praise it for. This series didn't have as much to live up to as New Challenger did, but somehow manages to fall even flatter than that one.
