Ashita no Joe changed the world so much, even in the west, but it's usually overlooked, very cool video!

W video Joe is a story for the ages and I wish people in the west gave it more attention.

amazing video, very underrated

[@Gilbert_Dice_Gottfried]

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.
