| Haven't seen Ashita no Joe 2 yet. I love the first series, it's fantastic. Maybe they cry a little too much, but pretty much everything else about it is great. I think im gonna read the manga soon. |

People with this sort of mentality should be taken on a pedestal and garlanded Why? i think he didnt said anyting not normal. He simply wants it to stay as much less toxic as possible due to people clashing amoung each other and make series infamous in process. Also by mindless he probably meant that more popular = more interest but more posers without any actual thoughts when you ask them about show liking because it because trend and current(in this scenario) cool factor , nothing worse then that simple. |

Thanks, I was trying to find another excuse to keep postponing the viewing. Not making its small and perfect fanbase bigger sounds better than my usual "too many episodes" reason. |

Yeah if it is indeed good enough ,no matter how many people watch it it will still remain good.Discussions are only a part of it.What you are mentioning are hatred towards certain anime sheerly because it has become : a) a growing trend because it seems "cool" b)somehow becomes more popular than their favorite anime. If the show is indeed good,then you can just shake your head,laugh at those threads and move on. More people watching it equates to more people appreciating it and more discussion being brought forth.Now if you want to take trolls seriously,then thats a different thing. |

| Good show. Rikishii is the rival character other manga/anime should aspire to match and Joe recently became one of my favorite characters. It's consistently good once the prison arc starts, and there's little mishaps. It's only really held back by its animation. 2 looks really good, and has some of Dezaki's trademarks I was missing in the first one. |

| Heh, that one sentence makes the fanbase far from perfect. |

The animation was extremely good for its time and fit the gritty atmosphere of the show. |

Saying stuff like "a good show doesn't need more recognition because the fanbase will have possible shitheads coming with it" will leave a bad image of at least a part of the fanbase to those that haven't watched it. A good show always needs more recognition, you don't even have to pay attention to what kind of people like it. |

| Don't know about you people, but i don't really care about the fanbase at all. I just watch what i think is good. Ashita no Joe is a good show and that's all that matters. |

Maybe I'm taking things the wrong way. It's a small effect, but one fan is still a part of the fanbase and if it's even just one fan sticking out with sentences like that, it can't be called a perfect fanbase and someone's view on just a tiny part of it being distorted because of it can't be a good thing for the fans too if they think their show needs more love. |

Yeah, after all, Ashita no Joe is so captivating that you would eventually forget about the fanbase and all those silly preconceptions and just enjoy the show. |
Lancehot said: Saw the live action film. It wasn't very good. Joe just seemed like a bit of a cocky prick & Rikiishi as the 1 guy in the cast who could act & had a semblance of a character arc. That's a piss poor adaption though. Doesn't take from the masterpiece that is the anime. |

mysubjectivelist said: ANJ is art. Ippo is just a really well executed fun shounen.it's still better than most sport anime out there but still can't top ippo |
|
| Too much Joe, too little Rikiishi. |
 |
| Kinnikuman is the best tho |
 |
| I really want to know what would happen to Joe and Rikiishi.... And also what would happen if.... |

| It's decent series, but Joe is just stupid. |
| I'm too weird to live but much too rare to die. |
Godhood said: Have you watched it?very generic story that has been told many times already OT: Hmm, currently I don't have any impending plans to watch AnJ. It's not because of it's age or because of the animation, but the episode count is rather intimidating. I may read the manga though, since that's usually faster and I've heard that Joe is a great character. |
| Haven't seen it. Probably never will, because I will always think of how Ippo was better. |
| tadake tadake!! JOE!! (i've still finished it yet, but i love it) |
| sorry for my bad English |
| What is that. |

Ghiffaris said: Wouldn't really say stupid, he's just ill-mannered and short tempered individual, and that's because of the way he grew up and one of the great aspects of the story is how boxing changes him as a person. Though I gotta admit, I always loved it whenever Joe went berserk and started to fuck people upIt's decent series, but Joe is just stupid. |
| Joe isn't stupid, he's a hothead delinquent who's never had any guidance or parental figures in his life, and lives in poverty. He's angry at his life and his surroundings and doesn't know how to properly cope with it until later on. It's not surprising to see someone from a background like that not always act calm, composed and mature. |

Did we watch the same series? Joe has grown and matured a lot. At first he was just a casual street punk with no home and no purpose in life and in the end he is fighting the strongest boxer in the world for the world title. You're asking yourself how he comes up with all those clever ideas? Usually each hardship a person survives makes him stronger. Joe ran from an orphanage when he was just a child and has been wandering alone ever since. Instead of browsing through MAL forums, he was thinking about where to get food and where to spend the night. |
