- Ashita No Joe. Possibly the greatest anime of all time, yet not many people in the states have seen it. I just recently finished it and it's incredible, so I had to make a video about it. Enjoy the video and also Merry Christmas!

shoutout to ippo for leading me to joe
Just finish the anime and I kinda felt alone in it since that many people didn't talk about it. Glad to know there's people still watching this show.
Yeah it's been on my plan to watch for a while, so I finally decided to watch it and I loved it!
it really needs attention
How do i watch the animie
just finished reading it today. absolutely stunning.
yes its happen to me,everyone didnt know this anime.my friend in rl,my friend in virtual,even my weebs grup everyone didnt know this great show.that make me sad.
One of the most popular characters in Japan's history
Finally AnJ is getting more recognition, it's my favorite manga of all time. Excelent video!
Thanks for the kind comment!
The show is fairly known here in Italy, even though most people call it "Rocky Joe". We're also lucky to have an excellent edition of the manga, and now the first series has just been released on blu ray
Very lucky for you guys. Other regions have it so much better than here…
Same in the hispanic community, in Latam we got Ashita no Joe 2 dubbed in Latin Spanish and in Spain the manga is available in Spain's Spanish.
Honestly this is one of the anime’s you can never seem to forget and that really sticks with you
Really the reason I made the video. I couldn’t stop thinking about it when I finished it, so I made this video
yeah absolutely! It's one of the few shows that leaves a hole in your heart for a while.
It's also really cool to see Ashita no Joe references in tons of other anime/manga, especially the newer ones!
For example, this past season's very popular show Oshi no Ko. If I remember correctly, it has a "pure white ash" and death pose reference.
This show came out when my dad was a kid, and I believe that the new gen of anime is good, but the old era was more about the feeling rather than the animation and action
I just finished watching both seasons some months ago, and seeing this video pop up on my recommendations surprised me, even more when u talked about the the great soundtrack. Thanks for this video, Ashita No Joe deserves more recognition nowadays !
It's my all time favorite anime, thank you for making this vid
fascinating to see how far ahead of its time the show is, and even 40 years later megalobox returning,
I like the art style in megalobox makes me think of studio Manglobe anime like Samurai Champloo and Michiko Hatchin
It's always excellent to see another person enjoying Ashita no Joe on earth. It seems you haven't read the manga, so I'll recommend you do that. The manga is absolutely incredible. The Art, especially in the fights, has more intensity than I've ever seen in any other manga. Not only that but based on some things you left out, I'd guess the manga goes more in-depth with the characters.
First off, I want to put out there that the Shiraki boxing gym was created specifically for Rikiishi Toru. That's an important distinction to make because it sets up Yoko taking ownership of the gym later in the series to indirectly "help" Joe. Going deeper into that, upon several rereads of the manga, Yoko stands out as one of the most interesting female characters in shounen or just manga in general. Go back and read some of her dialogue in the early Juvenile Detention Arc. She gets hyper-excited about the act of boxing itself, marveling at its brutality while also not having the stomach to see it through. This remains a theme in the entire manga as Yoko is a key piece in setting up the rivalry between Rikiishi and Joe but also acts as the force to try and ensure they don't fight later.
Yoko and Joe are, interestingly, two sides of the same coin. Both latch on to the brutality of boxing. The difference is what roles they take in the participation. Also, later on in the series, Yoko actively manipulates Joe into getting what she wants to see out of him while also believing she is doing what is best for him. It's a very interesting dynamic you wouldn't expect out of a series that came out in the late 60s. That a female character has so much going on is very cool. Not only that, she's portrayed as smarter and quicker-witted than her male contemporaries in the promotion side of things of boxing, while never understanding the "man's romance" of it until arguably the very end.
Also, I don't want to go too heavy into spoilers so I won't give my full thoughts on Rikiishi and Joe, but I will say it is the best rivalry in all of manga. Because, for the whole manga, Joe fights Rikiishi, even when he isn't. Every moment Joe "walks himself down into Hell" for the sake of boxing, he is stepping into Rikiishi's shoes. The first person, as stated by Joe, to ever truly see him as he truly was and accept him.
Anyway, I could go in way more on Joe himself or the plot but I'll leave it there. Ashita no Joe is a masterpiece and my second favorite manga behind Yokohama Kaidashi Kikou. An odd combo there lol.
You should be the one writing these videos. Enjoyable to see this writeup but even more enjoyable because you’ve read YKK. Being someone whose favorite next to this and Hajime no Ippo is the aria series, YKK is recommended to me nonstop. I gotta get into that.
@@anihive8487 You should definitely give it a read. Recently, after years of hoping, the series finally got an omnibus in English. It doesn't cover the whole series, the first 3 volumes out of 14 I think, but it would be a good introduction.
Hitoshi Ashinano is my favorite mangaka and I could probably write a 15-page essay on everything that makes his work stand out compared to his peers. The beauty of his compositional layouts astounds me. Especially later on in the series when he really starts to come into his own as an author. It is an open-ended type of series where the peace in-between moments is the primary draw of the series.
After YKK, Ashinano would go on to improve and refine his personal brand of storytelling that relies far more on what I'd like to call the "negative space" of a narrative rather than what lies on the surface.
By his latest series, Kotonoba Drive, he has stopped using screen tones entirely and is using only really the bare essentials of line work, and yet his simplicity is something so divine to look at. I personally have redrawn more than a hundred of his panels in an effort to understand a little of his thought process but can never quite figure it out.
His works feel like a hazy kind of daydream you might experience while resting in the sun while listening to your favorite song.
A bit off-topic, but I always felt the musical style of Lamp and Hitoshi complement each other well. Funnily, the restaurant where the main character of Kotonoba Drive works is called "LAMP" and I was listening to Lamp while reading it. Lol, fun happenstance there.
Also, unsurprisingly, I have dabbled with the idea of making an essay-based UA-cam channel since I have this kind of anime/writing debate with my friends fairly often but never got around to it.
@@galenpemberton4382 well if you ever get the chance, I think you should give it a go! If you ever need an editor, you know where to look as well! Also I saw that YKK omnibus at a bookstore the other day and strongly thought about buying it. Maybe I’ll get it soon.
@@galenpemberton4382 also I have to ask, have you seen the 3 episode ova of YKK? Is it any good?
@@anihive8487 I've seen it. It's worth the watch. The cel animated episodes are very beautiful. It's the kind of anime they don't (actually can't) make anymore. The animators really understood what made the series pleasant.
It’s one hell of a story. It’s such a gut punch of feels
In Europe we love Rocky Joe
It seems like in other regions, this show is way more popular than here... SAD!
My friend's brother told me about this series and so I decided to watch it about a year back, ended up loving it so much. It was refreshing watching something that was grounded in reality and on a subject like boxing but with character driven drama. I was never into boxing before this , the only thing I've ever done fighting wise was martial arts aka Karate.
The characters don't act like anime characters in my opinion but more like real people, Joe is an amazing character same with Rikiishi and their relationship, Danpei too. All of the characters were great honestly. Loved the artwork and animation, its a product of its time and something you don't see anymore (thank the great Osamu Dezaki for season 2)
The music for both seasons is fantastic, I've always been a huge fan of 70's and 80's music (im a musician myself who plays keys and owns a lot of equipment from that time period like Rhodes Pianos and Synthesizers) alot of the tracks in season 1 can be haunting and season 2 has more 80's funky jazz and bossa nova genres.
In short the series deserves more recognition, despite it being about boxing its more character driven and really has that human feel. I wont spoil it for others but the ending of the second season i was almost about to cry at the end and this is coming from someone that doesn't get emotional very easily, that is how good it is.
I’m basically the same as you. This show is incredible and actually a couple episodes before the end actually made me tear up a bit more than the end itself.
@@anihive8487 It really hits you hard when it has characters you genuinely care about and real character development, the way its written is just so good.
There's a few Japanese fan groups who still talk and make fanart for the series. There's an artist I follow called Chihiro, they make Joe fanart and I even sent him a message showing him my Joe cosplay. He actually responded back to me in English saying hes happy the series is still loved over the world and that its not forgotten.
I remember Joe.
Ashita no joe is genuinely a masterpiece to me. Joe yabukis development to me actually shocked me because his emotional impact on me was amazing. From the soundtrack, to the visuals and dialogues, it was incredible. I cried twice watching this anime too. One, when carlos went punch drunk, and the conclusion of ashita no joe. Overrall, this is an amazing video ❤.
Thanks for the kind words. I also agree. I almost cried at both of those parts as well. I’ll probably rewatch it in the near future too. It’d be nice if there were bluray’s for it in the states, but I don’t believe there are which is a shame. Maybe someday…
I feel like we definitely need to talk about AoT more!
This video was great, I’m super curious about watching this! I love the smears and I always love a good character drama, sounds like you love their development too!
Again greatest show ever maybe
I rewatch the last 3 episodes of Ashita no Joe every few months. It’s my favorite anime of all time, and it’s truly phenomenal how much Joe changes Jose in such a short time span.
I always viewed Jose as a mirror image of Joe, and I wanted Joe to become the champion and have his own family.
In the end though, there never really was a happy ending for Joe, it was either to stay the lone wolf he always was, or to die in pursuit of his passion.
Timeless masterpiece
Truuuuu
to the few that had the pleasure, blessings
Finished Ashita no Joe after being at the home stretch recently, absolutely amazing show
I always thought Hajime No Ippo was a successor of Ashita No Joe, especially since Sendo is based on Joe.
I’m sure there are lots of ideas taken from ashita no joe, but yeah. It would be interesting to know them for sure!
Hni is highly influenced by anj and the writer really loves anj
Manga peaked at the last panel of anj for me. This shi is special asf to me and my goat manga. Always love to see anj content G. Great vid 🤝
Thanks. That’s last panel goes hard. Same with the last episode of the anime. Had me in a shock for days even weeks after. It was so well done
great video keep it up bro!
Thanks! Keep an eye out for new things in the coming weeks!
I hope that one day they can rerelease ashita no joe with better sound quality and improved drawings. holy shh this anime was so good.
That would be interesting, but I think the anime looks good as is in my opinion.
I mean it was remastered recently looks great to me
@@bull1566 yeah the remaster looks nice, but the only official place to watch it on is a japanese streaming service…
Such a great review, makes me want to go watch megalo box since you said it was a successor!
it's such a good anime both seasons of megalo box are awesome
Just like joe, the second season of megalobox is so much better than the 1st.
I’ve seen it during the summer. Wow, wow, wow is it ever good!! I can’t believe Japan made shows like this back in the 60’s early 70’s. It was a great watch and I really began to like Joe ❤️🔥
I watched Saizens sub of AnJ up until the Rikishi fight and then AnJ2 back in 2014 when someone had subbed all the episodes on dailymotion. It took a long time but this anime is finally getting the credit it deserves.
Yeah it’s always been on my plan to watch since my friend of mine always talked about how it was his favorite sports show. I like sports and I had time, so I watched it and now it’s my favorite sports show!
Megalobox is a great love letter to Joe and the gear system is really cool but also still feels very grounded.
I do wonder if we are going to get a remake at some point. I also watched Joe recently because i watched hajime no ippo a while back and heard Joe is a lot better. I would say i like them both about the same for different reasons.
Yeah I love both ippo and ashita no joe about the same but for different reasons as well. It would be interesting to see a remake. It would definitely draw in a new audience and hopefully skyrocket its popularity.
I’m so happy I came across this show a few months ago this is MY FAV boxing and top animes in general ! This show is GOLD an anime with a heart..so underrated though we need to get it on Netflix
First it needs to get licensed by a company. I’m in the same boat as you though and this show is so good!!!
Ashita no joe is one of the most powerful pieces of fiction I've ever experienced. I'm glad more and more people are recognizing that
The manga is also a masterpiece. I still can't believe it has never been released in English
I loved it
Same
I remember first watching this series and being so worried about how Joe would act after his first big loss against Rikiishi and what happened after their fight that I had to put off watching the series for a month. I've never had a series affect me like that and that's when I knew it was my favorite anime of all time.
HONESTLY! When I saw the final scene of the anime, I legit couldn't believe what I saw. It really was a shock to the system, so I understand how you felt in this moment.
Great Video, since you loved Joe you'll probably love the other works of the director Osamu Dezaki. They all have very similar styles and tones to them, and are equally underappreciated in the states.
I’ll have to check them out!
@@anihive8487 I would personally recommend starting with his Black Jack OVAs, since there all standalone stories that don't require as much commitment as Joe did. There's also his Black Jack movie but that one is obviously a bit longer than the OVAs.
@@fullwindman8380 I've heard a lot about black jack, so I could check that one out!
glad you liked it and i agree almost with your whole critic.
I’m glad you watched it. I was waiting to see your thoughts since you’re the only person I know who’s seen this show
@@anihive8487 i struggled a bit through the first season because of the slow pacing similarly to you but when i hit the second season it was smooth sailing although i wish i skipped the last third of the first season since it gets retold later on but man the Mexican representation was next level 😂
@@fahaadbandar yeah the second season was way better in terms of that and even in terms of the story like I said in the video. Such a great series
@@anihive8487 intreasting thing the first season came out on 1970 a year that only had sports anime and joe still stood out
@@fahaadbandar goes to show the strengths of the show I guess
I watched this a year or so ago and it was the best thing ive ever watched it took me around 5 episodes to get used to the old animation after that it was amazing to watch, I wish it was more popular in the west
I agree with everything you said
I remember Joe!
i thought it was impossible to find someone who appreciate these songs as much as me
Well the impossible became possible because these songs are such bangers!
especially the video's outro, you forgot to call it out despite playing it. 😔
@@dad4378 It's actually my favorite track in all of the show. If you look at the pinned comment, I mention it there as the final audio credit, but yeah I didn't mention it. Sometimes things kinda slip through the cracks and I only remember it after it comes out.
Im done watching ashita no joe like 2 month ago and it was rieally good
It really is!
This and Fist of the North Star are masterpiece.
I agree. No show is perfect, there are no 10/10 anime out there. It is simply impossible. Ashita no Joe comes close to me however.
What I love about the anime is the fact that joe goes against everything you'd expect from other animes. For example, he never got a happy story or ending his story is full of pain and strife and the show focus on the sacrifices and loss when It comes to boxing instead of the old follow your dreams and you'll live happily ever after.
Honestly. It’s unlike anything I’ve ever seen and it’s also your standard shounen. You’d think it would be aimed at a higher demographic, but it tells such a deep story for shonen. Crazy!!!
I watched Ashita no Joe around 2 years ago. It became my favorite sports anime.
Just finished the Slam Dunk anime recently. Similar main character in terms of loud, initial attitude.
But Joe has better anime growth, mostly cause Slam Dunk wasn't fully adapted.
Anyway, Midnight Blues is an absolute banger. So are the other OP, ED, and OST.
I also finished slam dunk around the time I finished this and both are great for different reasons, but I get you. Midnight blues is catchy and yeah I love the other openings, endings and the soundtrack in general is super good!
Bro, if you haven't read the rest of Slam Dunk, you should. The final game is arguably the best in the series and and it beautifully rounds out Sakuragi's character arc. Even if you've seen the movie, it's a must watch because the movie was more focused on Miyagi and omitted Sakuragi's development.
@@Ash_Wen-li I'm still behind on finishing Slam Dunk. I'm only on chapter 181. Have 100 chapters to go.
*joe forever*
joe forever
Lo mejor que he visto
We need to do more so future gens value anime classics: Harlock, Galaxy Express, Astro Boy, Ashita no Joe, Hajime no Ippo, etc.
True. I’m getting into older anime myself and they are good!
I know it's a standard for old anime to have better atmosphere becuase of the cell shading but my goodness and I a sucker for the choppy animation and color pallet. This isn't exclusive to this show but it's still beautiful.
わたしの大好きなドラマです
Now I can't wait to watch this show but first I gotta finish hajime no ippo (anime) and The boxer (webtoon)
I gotta read the boxer. I read the first volume and it seemed pretty hype. Hajime no ippo is one of my favorites so I hope you enjoy it!
Just finished the boxer it's totally worth it and I just started Hajime no ippo season 2 watched both movies and the special eps enjoyed it so far
@@Smoked_Aditya ok I’ll have to check out more of it. Glad you like hajime no ippo. Hopefully when you start ashita no joe, you’ll like it as well!
It makes me sad and pisses me off that rn, there's no official release for Ashita no Joe. Not even for the manga, even while Ashita no Joe is one the chronological first ever great anime original adapatations.
My first, and favorite anime of all time, so dear to me that of fucking course I have biases on it, even with what I hate in it too, is and always will be Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann.
You fundementally ***cannot*** have Gurren Lagann without Ashita no Joe, since Gurren's production was started by two otaku passionate about making a mecha anime that felt like Joe.
Man... this is why companies like discotek are so great for the industry because they license things that have been in that licensing hell for a long time. If anything, go support them and maybe they'll do it. They, like a year or two ago, released hajime no ippo which was licensed by geneon in the 2000's but fell through and no one picked it up. They did, but only the first 75 the special and the ova, so I'm hoping for the rest. Hopefully in the future they also pick up ashita no joe because they DO have the movies licensed so... maybe....
@@anihive8487 I scanned their entire catalog on their website just now, they have the liscensing and release rights for not just Ashita no Joe through the recap movies, but also complete tv release sets for Captain Harlock, Mazinger Z, Getter Robo (specifically Armageddon too, among other releases!!!!!), the ***ORIGINAL*** Dororo, The Black Rock Shooter Anime!!!!!, ***AND!!!!!***
Most importantly to me, Adieu Galaxy Express 999, the first ever time anyone's ever seen a Kanada dragon.
(Edit: The first Kanada Dragon was in Genma Taisen. Adieu 999 had a first important pop culture exposure which didn't happen with Genma, since in a lot of ways Genma Taisen was a proto Akira and the anime audience wasn't ready for that kind of story *yet*.)
@@RosePalaceTTKE yeah they have some good stuff!
Ending absolutely destroyed me
This manga/anime, Go Nagai's works, astro boy and the white lion are the only one true masterpiece of all time in japanese animation. Don't be deceived for the animation or the art, the writing is the best aof all.
My favourite anime. I watched Ippo and then Joe. It's up there with Batman tas for me. For powerful handrawn animation.
No same. After watching it, I couldn’t NOT put it at number 1 or 2 of my favorite anime of all time
Im interested
Joe looks like Pinocchio and art is a big factor in my enjoyment but i MIGHT watch the rest of this anime
Fair. Definitely continue watching it. Interesting art style, but great characters and story!
@@anihive8487 Alright I will! And I'll watch your documentary about it, too!
The TRUE father of shounen manga
This anime is really hard to find! I want to watch it!
Yeah… unlicensed. Can find it using “other” means *cough* aniwave *cough*
@@anihive8487 👍🏾👍🏾
RetroCrush has the movie. Dubbed and subbed.
I’ll definitely check that out, but I just wish the show was available somewhere too…
Have you read the manga? I read the manga until the end of volume 9 and then started season 2 today. We'll see how it develops!
I’ve read the first couple of chapters. I hope you enjoy it because the second part is so good!
I also love your profile pic. I love aria!
@@anihive8487 Based on one of the opening lines about masterpieces I could tell haha. Also, I asked because I was wondering what changed between anime and manga, because some context has been changed it seems. Such as the way he returned to the dojo after, "the big moment" changed.
We'll see what I think of it by the end but it's looking pretty good right now.
Joe Reminds Me Of The Former Middleweight Champion Jake lamotta Aka The Bronx Bull
He could be based on an actual boxer, but idk
So why does no one mentioned in these reviews how there's a 70 episode adaptation that has a really weird ending, but there's also a season two that picks up like 2/3 of the way through the 70 episode season that is of a much higher production quality.
Unsure. They probably thought that the 70 episode thing was gonna be it, so they just made an anime original ending. The second season was made 10 years later actually, so that’s probably the reason why it has a higher quality.
so if there are fillers at the end that are re done in season 2, what episode order do you recommend watching it in
Honestly whatever. It’s up to you but episodes 54 onward from the first season are retold with just the canon stuff in the next season. The first season stuff is canon but also not canon. It’s up to you. I watched both and it was fun watching the differences, but besides that, it can be hard watching the same part twice. Again, up to you!
Aight then I’ll watch it I just finished Hajime no ippo
Great! Hajime no ippo is one of my favorites tied with this show, but this show is more character driven than super action packed like ippo. Hope you like it regardless!
@@anihive8487 what’s the watch order? (For Ashita no Joe)
@@HBRO_04 from the first episode to episode 54, it’s all canon. Everything after is filler mostly. You can just skip to the second season after episode 54, but if you wanna watch the filler, which I did, it’s interesting to see a different take on what happens next. Kinda like an fma vs fma brotherhood type deal. Up to you.
@@anihive8487 interesting… alright then I’ll probably finish it in a couple months I’ll come back when I finish it. Thank you btw
@@HBRO_04 np. Enjoy!
Ashita No Joe is my 3rd favourite anime of all time.
It didn't quite hit masterpiece status for me until Ashita No Joe 2 but man when that second season hits it hits hard. Ashita No Joe is probably the only anime that made me dislike the main character only for that to complete turn around and have me rooting for Joe with all my heart.
The negatives for me was also the slower pace at least in the first season, the middle of season 2 has some low point moments for me with Joe's weight, and his fight with Harimau being another. And my last pet peeve for this show is the soundtrack in 2 its good and enjoyable but it is very repetitive to the point of parody.
However despite those negatives the show has such great character development some of the best I have ever seen. It has some of the most memorable rivals of all time in Rikiishi, Carlos, and Mendoza. And best of all it has gut punching emotionable moments that I struggle to find replicated in other anime. Its due to these moments that even after 2 years since I have watched this show every so often I will think of Joe's journey, I will think of his struggles his lowest points and how he overcame them, I will think of Joe's passion for doing what he loved no matter the consequences. This show left an impression on my soul and I would highly recommend anyone to watch it.
I agree with you. The second season is when it really gets good, but the first season is still solid, but it’s SUPER slow. The harimau fight did suck tbh.
What are your 1st and 2nd favorites? If I had to make a fair guess it must be including Monster.
@@elmo4672 It's actually Hajime no Ippo and Aria the Animation. I haven't watched monster yet. It's next on my list though.
@@anihive8487 I was actually asking the OP of this comment since they mentioned AnJ being their 3rd favourite anime xD
Btw both Aria and HnI are in my watch list.
@@elmo4672 whoops... I didn't read your comment properly. My bad
I agree that stuff that's too realistic winds up looking bad, lol, same reason I can't get into DC or Marvel comics- the hyperrealism!
I tried watching it a few weeks ago. It lost me when, in the span of 10-15 minutes, the coach went from. "I can't train you Joe" to "I can't coach the kids because I'm training Joe" back to "I'm not training you Joe" to "coaching kids" to "training Joe."
Did I watch some weird edited movie of it?
Ashita no Joe has an anime series and also a recap movie which cuts down the 70 or so episodes of the first season into 2.5 hrs so yeah.
yeah what @elmo4672 said.
no way brother compared ashita no joe 🐐 with aot and fmab
Tony ferguson the anime
I love this series jad trouble trying to find it though sense my first watch through. Any one know where to find season 1 and 2 sub to stream?
It’s not available legally… season 2 is on prime video but it skips the first 13 episodes. You’re better off sailing the high seas
ohhh I see the megalobox similarities. is megalobox a sort of reboot to this?
It’s more of a spiritual successor with some similarities but then it becomes its own thing with the second season
Masterpiece.
So does Ashita no Joe 2 re-do only the last part of the first season or the whole season? Is there somewhere a list of the filler series that are safe to skip?
It redoes the last like 15 to 20 episodes or something. It’s like 55 onward or something is filler. They just condense it in the first 12 episodes of the second season. You could find a filler guide easily online too, but I’m pretty sure it’s 55 to the end of the first season is filler
@@anihive8487 I see, thanks! I just re-watched the first season of Megalobox in 2 days and want more after I'm done with the second one. Though I mostly liked the first season of Megalobox because of it's pacing and killer OST, so not sure how far along I'll get with Ashita no Joe. Sure, I've watched the entirety of The Legend of the Galactic Heroes once (which is also pretty slow-going and fairly old at this point) and loved it, but I had way more free time back then :^)
@@MrGrayNk well hopefully you get around to it because it’s definitely worth it
can I translate your video into my language and publish it on my new channel? And be sure to mark you
That could be cool! I believe I can just manually add the subs or something myself though. If you sent me the script, I can do it probably? We could discuss that more too
Is this anime Available in english dub ?
I only found it with Sub..
Supposedly, they only have a dub for the first recap movie.
11:10 zoomer issue
Biggest problem for me is that I can't find good scans to read the manga and I would love to read it.
I’ve looked around for that too and that’s also hard to find
@@anihive8487 Right, love the video good job man.
@@visko6203 Thank you!
Watch the anime
Try Mangadex
mentira , yo si la vi.
vayan a ver karate baka ichidai esa tambien la escribio Ikki Kajiwara
How do i watch it in order
Honestly whatever. It’s up to you but episodes 54 onward from the first season are retold with just the canon stuff in the next season. The first season stuff is canon until that episode 54. It’s up to you. I watched both and it was fun watching the differences, but besides that, it can be hard watching the same part twice. Again, up to you!
How u could watch ashita no joe? Honestly for this video I got more interest watch ashita no joe, an oldest thing which is a masterpiece
(I wanted watch it but i couldn't)
Unfortunately it’s unlicensed in America. You’re gonna have to sail the high seas unfortunately
@@anihive8487 If you like the Japanese version, why not enjoy it there?
Dear Japanese Joe fan. ❤🔥
@@Cycling_812 if I could understand Japanese, I would
@@anihive8487 I see, I understand. 😅

Where do I watch this
Unfortunately it’s unlicensed in the US. Unsure where you live, but your best bet is to search for it online and hope you can find it.
Does this anime has English dubbing ?
I don’t believe so. It’s never been licensed in the states, so no dub would be produced. There might be dubs in other languages though. Not sure tho
The whistler died last year 😢
Oh that’s a sad fact…
@@anihive8487 Yeah :( , I'm watching your video, thanks for giving some love to Joe 🙏
@@kiruoful no problem. I had to make it after I finished it because it’s a masterpiece like I said
@@anihive8487 True ! I watched it 2 years ago and to this day I still listen to AnJ's songs at least twice per week, it's haunting me, also have my screen with Joe " sitting on his chair " since I watched it lol
@@kiruoful that’s fun! I really love the music, it’s so good!!!
In Italy , this anime is a cult ...
Really? That's interesting...
@@anihive8487 When we got it in the early 1980's , Joe Yabuki was felt as so reminiscent of Rocky Balboa and Rocky Marciano that he was renamed "Rocky Joe".
Youngsters still love it, often persuaded by their parents.
If you wanna get an idea of how epic this anime was, search "Rocky Joe sigla" (by Oliver Onions) for the original Italian song used for its opening and its end credits.
@@davidxoomer3806 this is really interesting. It reminds me of the arabic hxh op. That’s fire too.
Oddio, non mi sembra così popolare rispetto ad altri anime come goldrake, jeeg, daitarn, mazinger (il grande), Lupin, Oscar, Heidi, Anna, Conan, Remì, Harlock, Ken o l'uomo tigre. Sicuramente non è passato inosservato ma le serie che ho menzionato mi sembrano molto più popolari
I find it hard for me to continue watch the show.. I don't know., It's so sad, so dark.., can't handle it, I don't know maybe i just stick to watch some funny stupid anime.😂
It can be a tough watch since it just continues to spiral. If you’re not feeling it, you don’t have to force yourself through it. Enjoy the funny stuff!
аниме не заслужившое такой малой популярности
Well it's kind of old and the adaptation really does not hold up the second half is okay but really it deserves a proper adaptation. The soundtrack in particular is just utterly disgusting.
Sad… I love the soundtrack, but it is from the 70’s and 80’s, so not for everyone. I think the first 75 episodes are ok. They are pretty slow compared to the second half, but I personally think the adaptation holds up especially with the stylized style. It holds the test of time imo. Also, not a new adaptation, but they have a 4k upscale of the show which looks super nice, but it’s japanese only… Maybe one day they could remake it. It would spark new interest in the show especially in the states if they market properly. But anyway, different strokes for different folks I guess
@@anihive8487 honestly I think attack on Titan has just ruined anime soundtracks for me, it's set the bar so high
@@chicken29843 hiroyuki sawano is a goat composer so that’s understandable
