I like the type of music they use
October 9, 2018 @ 11:33 pm
Pumping these out lol.
October 9, 2018 @ 11:34 pm
Which should I watch first? I’m watching Megalo, but should I stop now and watch Ashita no Joe?
October 9, 2018 @ 11:36 pm
Honestly I’m more glad they did this over doing a direct remake
October 9, 2018 @ 11:36 pm
I never watched Joe, but I assumed before watching this video that JD was the original Joe and. Simply has amnesia of his life from the original series.

I did watch the original tomorrow’s joe .I watch part on goganime.I did watch 18 episodes.Great review pal .Hopefully this series becomes so popular the spring anime season .So far the first episode was an 89/100 for me

I’m really liking JD and his beliefs, he’s already distancing himself from Joe as a character. I like that this is different, it technically isn’t Ashita no Joe, just celebrating the anniversary and honoring the series (I do hope we get more stuff that’s actually Joe related tho, maybe an original side story taking place during the original, or maybe an OVA about Rikishi, something). As for this specific episode, I like it, but my problem is just that a lot of this episode is stuff we’ve seen, from trailers and things like that, so I totally agree that this should’ve premiered with 2 episodes.
October 9, 2018 @ 11:43 pm
Did "Rikiishi" make the one minute KO announcement? I feel like legendary scenes like this should be recreated.
October 9, 2018 @ 11:44 pm
Guess I go watch it now
October 9, 2018 @ 11:46 pm
Okay, to be honest, I actually thought it’s another Go Nagai series.

Megalo box is Lit
October 9, 2018 @ 11:50 pm
I get that music is subjective but Megalo Box soundtrack is objectively amazing
October 9, 2018 @ 11:53 pm
Wouldn’t this anime feel so realistic.Yeah I didn’t enjoy the music too much
October 9, 2018 @ 11:53 pm
I won’t minding watching Lupin the third but the fist of the north star’s animation is CGI is so bad
October 9, 2018 @ 11:56 pm
nice review
October 9, 2018 @ 11:56 pm
To be honest, it all feels like an attempt to milk a classic gem without even putting some effort into doing so, just slapping the name of it in there to turn heads.
October 9, 2018 @ 11:57 pm
Gawdamn it some one somewhere update Golgo 13 for the love of gawd. Netflix!?!?!
October 9, 2018 @ 11:57 pm
Can I watch Megalo Box whitout watching Ashita No Joe before hand?
October 10, 2018 @ 12:02 am
Always a good sign when you’re one complaint is that there wasn’t a second episode attached to it. I think this ep was set up very well, and the strongest component that you didn’t mention is the sound design which feels integral to this atmosphere.
October 10, 2018 @ 12:02 am
Thanks Joe for keeping the "boxers are violent" stereotype alive and for respecting wahmen!
October 10, 2018 @ 12:03 am
Where can I watch this
October 10, 2018 @ 12:05 am
I think it’s a little unreasonable to expect the same approach to the music, I think JD whistling would’ve been a bit too on the nose, and trumpets would’ve clashed with the modern sensibilities of the setting. And it’s only episode 1, we can’t say for sure if say, the track that plays on the bridge is Yuri’s theme, or the track at the start of the episode is supposed to be JD’s track etc. As a matter of fact, you can get a hint of this in each of the character PVs on TBS’s YouTube channel, each one uses different music. Also I’ll be honest you came off a bit condescending and abrasive here, the bit about what to call AnJ in English was an irritating non sequitur. But I’m happy there’s an anituber like you who’s actually SEEN Joe covering this, I’ll be holding off my piece on it for when it finishes.
October 10, 2018 @ 12:08 am
Exactly
October 10, 2018 @ 12:08 am
You’re speaking major nons the music is one of the best parts of megalobox
October 10, 2018 @ 12:09 am
This anime is gonna 13 episodes right ? I watched the original and half of the show felt filler .Jump dog feels like a delinquent shonen character though
October 10, 2018 @ 12:09 am
Watched it and enjoyed it enough i want to see more episodes. It was much better than doing a full remake of a classic masterpiece.
October 10, 2018 @ 12:13 am
Speaking of the Joe movie, how does the lost English dub sound? And if possible, could you upload a short clip from it onto Twitter?
October 10, 2018 @ 12:18 am
is the old ashita no jo worth watching and what is that anime at the end hotoga something
October 10, 2018 @ 12:18 am
Great anime! Good commemoration of the 50th anniversary of the manga Ashita no Joe. Thanks to the creator’s! Thanks that you haven’t forgot Ashita no Joe.
October 10, 2018 @ 12:18 am
I get the feeling that Megalobox will end the same way as Joe.
October 10, 2018 @ 12:19 am
This is anime remake or spin-off?
October 10, 2018 @ 12:24 am
Megalo Box is already lit, now more people will finally watch Joe! Which Joe? Well I guess they have to do the research yet again. Thank you english for all the titles for Joe.
October 10, 2018 @ 12:25 am
かかってこいよ This is the ending if you have an account on Nico video you will find the full ending also it looks great and yeah I like it. Maybe it is not so much slice of life but yeah he is not Joe though.
October 10, 2018 @ 12:28 am
Would there be a possibility of a Megalo Box sequel, since it will only have 13 episode’s and I don’t know if there will be enough space for character development etc.
