i remember meglo boxing back in the days on toonami and it was one of the best anime there was and will always be but they never did come out with the second season
The characters in this anime is so well done, no evil greed bullcrap just people with different motives that motivates each other even if they are rivals
Ngl Yuri is a real badass here, removing his implants literally just to have a fight with Joe. It's basically a worse handicap of him still recovering from his surgery than the first fight with him fighting with only one hand.
reminds me of TJ Combo from Killer Instinct evil corporation gave him cybernetics in his arms which let him climb back up the ladders but when he didn't throw a match that they told him to, they exposed his implants (as if they didn't give them to him) so in spite he just.. ripped them out of his arms, getting some kinda electric power out of it, and a healing factor apparently
yuri deciding to remove his implants also really encapsulates one of the shows biggest strengths. which is its characters and their motivations. yuri, the main antagonist of the first season could have whooped joes ass with his superior gear but instead chooses to endure immense pain and handicap himself to fight joe on equal footing and even with that handicap he matches joe blow for blow until the very end. let me repeat, the main antagonist went way out of his way to fight the protagonist on equal footing. what other show sees the big bad being an honorable BAMF like that?
This is one of my favorite shows. Season one was a delight. It was like a great meal. Filled you up. You could probably eat more, but you’re content. Season two, however? A whole meal. All the good shit about the first season, with an even better plot, character development/regression, and a banger soundtrack. Definitely one of my faves.
@@greenhat8978 true, that's a good point. Still, feels like there's a better alternative for controlled stress testing with less risk to the participant and technology. This is anime though, and my original joke is just pointing out the absurdness
Just finished binge watching the entire 1st season in 1 day. It’s a really awesome anime.great musical score and the storyline and acting were on point.
y'know somethin'... your Recaps are just about the ONLY ones on here that actually recap the shows, kinda sad but at the same time its amazing how you summed up a full 2 seasons of Megalo Box in half an hour!
What we loved is seeing a character with personality, get challenged, doing his best against all odds, fighting for his dream. Not another Mary Sue. Marvel could learn one or two things about this anime.
@@actuallyronnysao5861 I really shouldn't be surprised because I've liked other anime about things I'm not interested in! Anime can make absolutely anything interesting.
this anime is literally goated Ive been boxing for 10 years now and have seen the ups and downs of the sport season 2 touches on opiate and pill addiction and that shit is real so many people on gear and other drugs and pain killers
Nice story shows that a man cannot be relied on machinery to win,and having joe returning the sport to its original form! Also his opponents were also really honorable people and not divas that wanted victories & stuff! I like this because its not going over the top!
*Spoiler for the end of the video* I was listening to the thing with the 'Two boxers about to fight, one says it's his final fight and is wearing gear to do it safely, while the other one has issues too. They both really love fighting but have to hold back a bit for their own health' I was totally convinced they would do the old 'Ah, no, we need a proper fight- even if it kills us because blah blah blah honour etc'... realised I've run into that in a lot of these type of anime's where they build a fight up like that but... this was oddly refreshing- they just had a safe fight and went home. That... is a breath of fresh air, nice ^^
That fight was not safe. Yuri had his gear torn off his flesh and Joe fought for 3 months straight to climb the ranks just to get to the final. Joe was pissing blood. Ultimately b/c of the fight Yuri lost his ability to walk.
I watched it for a hit but felt really disappointed that tue fight cenws were mid at best The story is good and is probably the best part about this anime But when a boxing anime with robot arms has the story as the best part It's a little sad
These mechanical limbs are a working marketing strategy because it never existed before in anime which had to do with sports history. Now, nobody can copy the idea. Else it'd be boring as fuck. Because something similar already exists. The only thing that can be done is work together with the author and make new Megalo Box stories with him, with characters designed by yourself, which fit in his world building. Just my personal opinion.
I love this animation/art style so much, does it have a name? It was in DBS Broly, it was in Mushoku Tensei, Megalo Box,Dragonball Z: Legend fan film etc, wherever it is that anime is bound to be timeless.
Name Megalo Box
Watched the anime but you give a great narration and u gave one as good as I thought.
i remember meglo boxing back in the days on toonami and it was one of the best anime there was and will always be but they never did come out with the second season
Thank you I will watch it
I was about to ask about the name to this show, thanks!
The characters in this anime is so well done, no evil greed bullcrap just people with different motives that motivates each other even if they are rivals
Don’t know man Sakuma is an evil shit
Just watch Hajime no Ippo 👍
Just watch ashita no joe
Megalobox is a really good anime, happy to see it finally got the attention it deserves
Ikr it's such an underappreciated anime
darryl is that you
I know!!!

I started season two recently and was NOT ready for the tone shift oh my god

Megalo Box was awesome,but what is really underappreciated is the sequel, Nomad. Such a great anime
Also, the Sound Track for Nomad was absolutely amazing.
why does nomad look like moses tho

Season two for me was jumping from argument to argument just to have him use gear and lose to a guy we ain't remember
U don't deserve that username for what you just said wooper my boi
What is the name of the anime
@@dariasgreen4186 It’s called Megalobox.
Megalobox box OSTs are bangers, no cap
Yes, please use experimental brain technology for a sport where the goal is to literally rattle the brain
Well.... from an engineering point it is a good stress test for the technology
@@greenhat8978 true, that's a good point. Still, feels like there's a better alternative for controlled stress testing with less risk to the participant and technology.
This is anime though, and my original joke is just pointing out the absurdness
@@TotalConScience You know its controlled by corporations and nothing is ubsurd aslong as its still not breaking a law for them
@@edempire5387 whoosh
@@TotalConScience forgot to put the r/ cmon haha late response just read it
This anime makes me think of the movie Real Steel
It reminded me of Cyberpunk Edgerunners
YES
This anime s theme is an exact carbon copy of another anime ( Levius)
Now that was a great movie…
Yea lol
Just finished binge watching the entire 1st season in 1 day. It’s a really awesome anime.great musical score and the storyline and acting were on point.
S2 is EVEN better
Step one: sell technology to the military.
Step two: get mad when the military wants to use tech for military things instead of philanthropic ones.
7:38 “a sussy looking fella”
I thought I was the only one tht hear this
Goofy ahh description.

I never thought I would get so invested about an anime about _boxing._
If you never thought that I highly suggest hajime no ippo. Great boxing anime (the animation is old obviously) and the story is pretty enticing.
That's what I said about Hajime no ippo. Loved it so much I joined boxing classes irl
What we loved is seeing a character with personality, get challenged, doing his best against all odds, fighting for his dream.

10/10 anime, coming from someone that doesn't like box, and my friend that doesn't like anime loved it as well.
😎
I get very heavy Punch Out vibes from this and I love it
I watched this last year and the concept was super great.
4:15 jeo is like why wear armour when you dont plan to get hit.
Megalobox was an amazing and underrated anime. Had Rocky themes and an ending that wraps it all up,well.
Dude his coach took a big blow. Man sac his eye for the boy.
Real steel anime edition 👌. Loved the recap
This is a really good anime for anyone who hasn’t seen it it’s worth your time it’s a little bit like cowboy bebop samurai champloo
Nice story shows that a man cannot be relied on machinery to win,and having joe returning the sport to its original form! Also his opponents were also really honorable people and not divas that wanted victories & stuff! I like this because its not going over the top!
My man watched 10mins and you had me hooked im gonna watch this anime. Dropped a like and sub for ya
Honestly this is one of the best anime there is not only the animation but also the story, I recomend this anime to watch.
He really surprised his couch with that left uppercut.
I came for a cheesy run of the mill anime and left with a very deep and complex, and somewhat wholesome, epic. T_T
such an amazing anime, thank you for the recommendation! love it!
Thanks for watching and supporting my channel Dm me with the above username for your package 📦📦🙏🙏
I love this anime art style. It's more realistic compared to the modern ones, they're too glossy.
GUYS THIS IS EXTEMELY AMAZING HIDDEN GEM AND THE UNDERDOG AND REDEMPTION SEASONS ARE AWESOME
I love how this joe is vaguely similar to tomorrow’s joe joe
Megalo boxing is so underrated
Holy folks needs to stop sleepin on it, it's an underrated gem
When levius is also about mechanical limbs boxing
Omfg FINALLY an Anime that I loved so much got recognition. This anime is underrated
7:38 ''a sussy looking fella''
its always good to see an anime villain show some respect to the opponent/protagonist
I just found my new favourite anime.
This video saved me a good 24 hours of watching thx.
*Spoiler for the end of the video*

Megalo box has such a nice esthetic feel, it reminded me of cowboy bebop a bit
always providing good content keep it up
This is like a futuristic anime Rocky story.
This anime looks like it is set in the Cowboy Bebop universe.
Woahhh, thank youtube this was suggested, visual looks really good i wanna watch this immediately.
Never heard of this anime but looks good 👍
Definitely a must watch
Lol, it's actually a remake of a VERY old anime.
@@HitPeace tomorrows joe. Right?
I watched it for a hit but felt really disappointed that tue fight cenws were mid at best
The story is good and is probably the best part about this anime
But when a boxing anime with robot arms has the story as the best part
It's a little sad
@@grass-touched good name
Didn’t kNow there was a second season. Shit, now I ruined it.
Still gonna watch.

Imagine using machinery to win and then getting smacked by someone who's just boxing.
This seems like something that would happen in night city cyberpunk
Woah!
Been seeing megalo short vids but didn't know this was epic anime!
I've actually seen this anime. Forgot all about it. I seen someone say it reminded them of reel steel. That's the feeling I got. The ending is fire 🔥
10:18 that sofa is flabbergasted
This anime has a cyberpunk vibe and is really good.
More people should watch this.
Watch by yourselves though, i like how this is getting attention but watching it by yourself dose it way more justice
I love this animation/art style so much, does it have a name? It was in DBS Broly, it was in Mushoku Tensei, Megalo Box,Dragonball Z: Legend fan film etc, wherever it is that anime is bound to be timeless.
This show was so good and binge worthy
18:27 What happened here with the art style 🤣
They went boondocks for a minute
10:19 “confusing his couch” 😭😭
Thanks for watching and supporting my channel Dm me with the above username for your package 📦📦🙏🙏
CYBERPUNK LIKE ANIME😮 DEFINITELY MUST WATCH THIS
Dude fr said couch 💀💀
6:57
LMAO AniSpot violated this man Aragaki bro
The anime name should be “Gearless Joe” rather than Megalo box!
i cant stop hearing this in my mind everytime he says joe i only hear joe .... MAMA that enogh youtube for today
Very interesting storylines 👍
Pls go watch the anime. It's available on RUclips with subtitles as well. It's insane how good it is and they just let you watch it for free
I had no idea about that second half of Megalo Box, I had assumed it was a single season.
This was a really good anime
i think his afro gives him 30% dmg reduction to hooks
“Because of his couch”
*pans camera to nanbu
And the ai narrator is revealed
One of the best Animes I've seen
imagine having khabib nurmagomedov life story as an anime, it would be so amazing
Sissy looking character 😂😂😂😂 7:38
bro this anime was fire
This show looks amazing.
music is very good in the fights
“There is always tomorrow.” Vs “There is no tomorrow.” Which quote is better
Megalo Box is FIRE
That one thing i realise is that these type of videos means the person is talking for that much time non stop
Gearless Joe🔥🔥
5:13 So are we just gonna ignore the Peanuts reference??
We’re is it
@@Kingcd1045 The jersey looks like Charlie Brown's, at the time he highlighted
Wow it's really impressive that it turns from anime straight to cartoon
I swear the thumbnail made me think of Cain from SCP
I miss these kind of animation....
WORTH WATCHING 10/10 ANIME
Finally the purpose for male nipples is revealed!! Anchor points for cybernetics...
I remember watching this it was such a good idea for a show
Which anime app are you using since Animixplay was shutdown
25:35 Biscuits and Gravy, make me a man..
The thumbnail reminds me of SCP 073. Also known as Cain.
this anime was hard!!!....
Megalobox was so good I temper it coming in tonamj at night this anime definitely taught me you ain’t gonna get shit if you don’t work for it
Hid couch just turns into daredevil
So this was where they got paquito's skin of Underground Boxer
Bros literally glass Joe from mike Tyson's punch out
7:39 meanwhile a sussy lookin fella 😢
Yo I watched this on Netflix it was fire
when did they continue megalobox? I thought it ended after Joe won his match against Yuri
that was a ride to say the least
Is this good? Lmk so I'll watch it
Just like levius. Both great animes
