| so i'm a really big fan of boxing anime or sports anime around the corner. I've seen Hajime no Ippo, Slow Step and Ring ni Kakero. and with megalo box coming up i'm pretty hyped up to watch it but it says 50th anniversary of Ashita no Joe. Considering Joe's is from 70s should i watch it. and also what are the similarities of both these shows. |
| You've watched all these boxing anime but not the best of them? You should watch Ashita no Joe. Megalo Box is a spiritual successor to Ashita no Joe. |
 |
| I don't know how you can call yourself a big fan of boxing anime and not watch/read Ashita no Joe. Heads up though it's more character drama than something like Ippo. But you listed Slow Step so you probably wouldn't mind. Can't really compare to Megalo Box yet since there's only been one episode out. So far the only similarity is some of the characters, but I can see them trying to hit the same themes later on. |
| Sieg Zeon! |
| It's up to you. I'm one of the biggest old school Anime fans here, but I haven't watched Ashita no Joe. I personally believe that people are over-hyping it, and now I fear that if I watch it, I'll hate it, so I'm avoiding it. |
 |
| Yes you should. There aren't many similarities between Ashita no Joe and Hajime no Ippo as they approach the sport differently. Ashita no Joe is not just a boxing anime but a coming of age story in a poor and hostile environment. However I see plenty of similarity between the characters with Megalo Box Joe = Junk Dog Yuuri = Rikiishi Shirato = Shiraki Nanbu = Danpei with some differences in relationship. Second season of Ashita no Joe has much better animation. |

| Yes you should. It is the greatest sports drama in this medium. And like what Kona said, even Ping Pong which is highly regarded is no match for Ashita no Joe. But mind you, Ashita no Joe is more about as a coming-of-age story than a hyped up boxing matches. It's a tale of growing up in a harsh environment. And Joe is one of the best protagonist this medium has. |

| Yes, definitely, it's one of the greatest sports-drama anime, if not greatest anime of all time. |

| Damn, you even watched Ring ni Kakero? Then you really need watch Joe, you will probably like it a lot. |

| Yes, without a doubt. It's got such an atmosphere I'd describe to be the best out of any anime ever. It's the first masterpiece I've truly deemed so. |
HILrebellion said: I'm just saying, you know the whole story, you know the iconic ending, why even bother if you want to watch Ashita no Joe because of Megalo Box if you know it already. You are even asking for the similarities.@-Lofn- it's from the 70s haven't really seen anything before 90s it's a new playing field and i don'y know anything about the animation of that era |

| Well, I wasn't going to watch this Anime before, and now I know that I'm definitely never going to watch it. |

| No, you arent forced. If you want to watch it just do it, if you dont want then dont do it. |

Considering Joe's is from 70s should i watch it. and also what are the similarities of both these shows. where did you watch ring ni kakero? did they finally sub the remaining episodes? Or did you watch them raw? or only the first seasons? I've been waiting for that franchise to be fullly subbed for years now :/ also ashita no joe is an amazing anime, and if you like boxing you should really give it a try. |
| I probably regret this post by now. |
| I came for the boxing,stayed for the character drama. |
One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron |
| watching shows made in the 80s are too brutal to absorb, i cant imagine watching things from the 70s is worth doing |

| You can't call yourself a boxing anime fan until you've watched both of the Ashita no Joe anime. |

yeah, no. That's one of the worst and least factual generalizations about 80s anime I've ever seen. You couldn't be more wrong. |
| I probably regret this post by now. |
| If you've gone through the trouble of watching, let along finding Ring Ni Kakero AND Slow Step, you're clearly someone who would love ANJ. |
