| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- This episode was an absolute masterclass of direction and astonishing writing. I'm speechless. It made me want to look out of my window to check if it's snowing. The bond between Carlos and Joe is marvelous. It's about time I moved this up to a 10. |
| the official MAL hall of fame/cursed comments is now open for business - you are welcome to PM me any potential quotes to include |
| What an absolute master of piece episode. The directing, the writing and the animation, the background and the most important of all, Joe and Carlos developed a new bond, a true friendship. My god. That Shiraki Yohko goddess in the end though. |
BruceLad said: Hyped for their match, hopefully it's even better than the first season version. I'm hoping for that too, felt like something was missing from that match in Season 1 so maybe this one will be better executed! Also this episode sure was beautiful and I think the snow added much to that. |
 |
| That was beautiful! By far the best episode so far! |
| Carlos is amazing! He is like a kid and a beast at the same time, I love his character development. Yoko's Christmas gift was great too. |
 |
| Nice needed interactions between Joe and Carlos, Yoko taking care or everything needed for the fight was a really nice present from her part. |
 |
| probably my favorite episode so far |
| What a beautiful episode man... All those interactions between Joe and Carlos just made feel a different type of way. They just felt so real. And also Yoko at end... this was the best episode by far for me |
| Joe, Joe Forever.... |
| I like how Carlos rushed across the street while Joe had to run over to a pedestrian bridge. With Tange's observation in mind, Joe is still behind Carlos in terms of growth and strength, in addition to still dealing with his past trauma. |
| The art direction, animation and soundtrack of this second season are masterful. This episode absolutely touched me when I saw that Carlos and Joe were talking to each other as real friends. I'm not talking about Yoko's last action. This scene cannot be described with words, so here are the pictures : |
 |
| At last we get the friendship between Carlos and Joe, and this episode was beautifully done. It also made me think about what a lonely life Joe's had despite all the people around him, as he doesn't seem to have peers he could hang out with. There's Nishi, but he's different because they only seem to have boxing in common, otherwise they have different temperaments. The kids are there, and the coach, but they're not exactly peers, as much as there's been between them. |
| At this rate the Shiraki conglomerate is going to go broke lol |
 |
| Now this is what I was waiting for, absolutely fantastic episode. Great character development for Joe, Carlos and even Yoko. |
 |
| best episode of the season so far, great character building and writing for Carlos, the direction was amazing too |
| Viendo un episodio de navidad en 3 de enero ddddd que hermoso capitulo |
