That pure white ash scene the type of scene that make you wanna write stories
what was the first sports anime you’ve watched?
We’re so back
Bebop still has the best music soundtrack of all anime! Nice analysis.
Shows that help me feel something are my favorites. Please do Space Dandy
Not dan-pie, but dan-pay.

9:30 Toru Rikiishi jumpscare. Jojes aside, amazing video man!

Literally Anakins prophecy in the Tartakovsky Clone Wars on Nelvaan
How do you watch this from front to back?
13:40: Joe yabuki: the Japanese Robin hood
W brooo
Thanks for this fr Anj really needs recognition
Great video man 🫡✌️ I just started watching Ashita no Joe recently and yeah now I really understand why it inspired entire generations... Also Rikishi is such a good written rival man... it's hard to beat that with modern day anime. Ashita no Joe, just like Hajime no Ippo, gives me that inspiration to train hard and give my best in everyday life... I just love anime that has this effect on people 💪✊
Anyone here from 20th Century Boys?
ashita no joe is so good
Greatest anime protagonist of all time
Peak video
incredible video <3 ashita no joe is really an emotional anime, from rivalries, slice of life, to living your life with your own ways, for a better tomorrow like danpei always says
fantastic. always love a good breakdown of this incredible story. needs much more attention in the west. wild how well Joe's character has aged, a lot of his characterization is still subversive by todays standards.
New niche UA-camr just dropped
Truly amazing, this series gives me motivation everytime im at my lowest reminding me that its never over yet.
bro are there episodes that you would know i should/can skip rn its just getting dry for me
Which season are you watching?
season 1 you should stop at ep 53 i think, and go to season 2 (joe vs carlos in s1 is a bit more accurate to the manga, ending is different in s1)
@@AspectCave 54 is canon

Wow... These Communists sure are crazy no matter in what part of the World they are.

Hey joe! I remember
I remember you
Tnx for the presentation of the historical aspect of Ashita no Joe's impact.
Otomo is such a good illustrator. Akira is such a good story and the movie is iconic, so his skills as an illustrator are underrated. His drawing skills are at the level of people like Kentaro miura. Tetsuo is a pretty deep and relatable character in some ways. I think his insecurity is a pretty realistic thing for most of us. Kaneda is such a good foil for him because kaneda symbolizes being above insecurity and believing in yourself no matter what kind of obstacles society puts in your way. He’s an embodiment of the rebellious spirit. I find kaneda to be one of the most inspirational characters of all time. Tetsuo and kaneda’s rivalry is one of the best anime rivalries and it’s often underrated. I feel like kaneda and tetsuo were an inspiration for goku and vegeta, especially because dbz became more sci-if than the earlier parts of the story when vegeta was introduced. Tetsuo always reminded me of vegeta because of how he looked when his hair spiked up but they’re also similar as characters. Both have a strong sense of honor but are cursed by an inferiority complex and they both have a rival that triggers their insecurities. Kaneda is pretty underrated as a protagonist because I consider him up there with the best protagonists of all time. He’s so charismatic and cool and he’s also very funny. He’s not some super smart or super powerful hero or anything but he’s an everyman and he possesses the best traits a regular person can have. More people should get into the manga because the movie is such a small part of the whole thing.
I like how gritty the aesthetic of the manga/anime is. It’s realistic in a depressing way. It’s a weird mix of tezuka’s cartoon style and the blues. A lot of people watch anime or drown themselves in entertainment just to escape but this show gives you reality in the most up-front and rawest way possible, holding nothing back. It manages to do all of that while not coming across totally bleak and hopeless, it always makes me feel good.
👍
Kaneda is charismatic? He is an ass like everyone else.
This was an excellent breakdown of the film! Great work! 🔥
Brilliant presentation, thank you
