I don't exactly know how effective saying it here will be, but this is for entertainment and education. I don't own any of the video or music shown, all of it is credited to it's respective owners, with much love and appreciation.
Hello and welcome to my Ted Talk XD
TL;DW: 1:39:29
I thought I'd make a little commentary here just to get it off my chest, I don't wanna reply this ad nauseum. I definitely think this could've been a LOT shorter, more organized and concise, and above all newcomer friendly like I pride all my other videos. I'm afraid this is by far the most unwieldy video I'll ever put out, and quite likely the most unwieldy anitube video of the year lol
That being said I stand by my creative decisions in making this close to two hours and being as thorough as I could muster. I really wanted to do this out of the novelty, I feel only I was both qualified and crazy enough to do something like this, and I badly wanted it to exist, which IS in spirit to all of my videos. If you watched all of this I love you so much/I'm genuinely surprised, especially if you did it in one sitting.
We stan.
Enjoy!
Oh my God Ted talk Tuesday we had this today in ELA and today is Tuesday
Where do I find all ep
I would absolutely love to see you talk about your favourite aspects and scenes in Ashita no Joe. I feel like it's a pretty fringe audience, as AnJ isn't necessarily the most popular or sought after animes despite its immense influence and reference in modern anime, and I can understand the reluctance to put the effort into it. However, I think there is a need for more AnJ content on youtube as I havent found much on it anywhere. Just my 2 cents.
Ashita no joe destroyed my childhood innocence then rebuilt me into a brutal and a caring person. JOE will always be my champion.
brutal and caring sounds like complete opposites but i somehow think i know what you mean.
I'm surprised that no one mentioned the fact that, as characters, JD and Nanbu serve as reversals to the roles Joe and Danpei played in Ashita no Joe. In Megalobox, it's JD who is interested in and has a passion for boxing and Nanbu isn't really interested in real boxing, whereas in Ashita no Joe, Joe didn't care about boxing at all at first and was persuaded to do it by a very passionate Danpei. This is symbolized by the fact that Nanbu's eye-patch is on the opposite eye than that of Danpei's. Nanbu and Danpei are literally looking at the world through different eyes.
Omg
Whoa... you just blew my mind!
Holy hell
Nanbu actually did care about boxing, before that veteran who he trained he always showed interested.
I would say what happened is that different of danpai, that even after something similar happened, he still had a bit of hope he could find a fighter, but was blind due to his alchool problem, thats why we see him totally drop that and focus at making a better future for both him and Joe.
Meanwhile Nanbu just gave up completely and only used it to get money probably due to depression and to get something to eat, and Joe re-ignited on him the love for boxing, even sacrifing his only eye, and funny enough the eye that had the negative view of the world and the sport that follows your theory, and he doesnt even need eyes to "watch" the match
Jd ?
"joe is a show that cant be spoiled"
Youre damn right, when i got to the last episode nothing could have prepared me for it. I was punching at the air and quit watching anime permanently to this day. That was 5 years ago.
Almost 2 hours... this is what I call dedication
And no money
I'm not really sure but i think that JD being "Gearless" imitates the "No Guard" stance of Yabuki. Like that's real boxing
Yabuki Joe is the greatest written protagonist in manga/anime
His transformation from complete asshole to a lovable jackass is really something! I didn't think the writers would be able to make me care about Joe, let alone love him and root for him, but they did! Joe's character growth and development was soooooooo good! They even show his growth in many subtle ways that build up over time, and not just through major moments alone. Joe Yabuki is one of my favorite protagonists of all time ❤
Haven't read it but planning to after megalo box finishes, but I'd absolutely hate it if megalo box ends like Ashita no Joe
@@lly_09 i reccomend to watch. 2nd season of Joe looks fucking amazing, 1st can seem outdated, maybe, but still has a lot of cool directing and amazing animation.
The best
You have actually done it and nicely done.... Ya bastard
I'M very proud
The comparrison I think calms realy into Nomad vs the end of Ashita no Joe. Where as the original Joe burnt up. Nomad/Joe was saved by the towel rather than fighting to the death. It was so he could continue life instead of fighting till the end.
What a beast of a video! Hats off for getting all the references haha!
Megalo box is my favorite anime of the year, only one I got to finished through to the end and loved everything about it (especially the aestetics).
Actually went ahead and finally read the entire manga of Ashita no Joe from how much I enjoyed Megalo box and boy... That became my favorite manga immediately and I'm very excited to watch the entire anime series when I get the time :D
I can never thank you enough for getting me into Ashita no Joe. Its my favorite anime as well. I also 100% agree with everything you said about the ending. Thank you so much for pointing out so many refrences. I missed about 40% of them. Keep up the great content. And again, thank you for showing me the masterpiece that is Ashita no Joe
This is your best video and I love it. Can’t wait for season 2
Thanks! And how!
I dont think attachments to some time period or events that really happened make things obsolete ( attachments to some narratives popular at the time or trends can be, but i dont think that attachments to things that are historically happened can make work obsolete ), for me, the fact that Joe takes time in this time period made that show a lot more interesting, cause its interesting to see how stuff worked at that time, at least for me. A lot of classic literature attached to some specific time period, and that doesnt makes them inherently obsolete. At least thats how i see things.
And i really like kids in AnJ, at least this far, im at the episode 12 of the 2nd season right now. Never thought of them as usseless or annoying, but maybe for some people they are, i can understand that.
You made an amazing video.
As someone who grew up with Ashita no Joe in the early 90s. Watching Megalo Box was like a dream come true. I fucking loved it. Thank you very much for this video too ! Speaking of Joe spoilers.....I still remember that final episode.....fuck.
This video got me into Ashita no Joe! Thank you for that! And I really hope you update this video for megalobox season 2!
This video is what made me watch Ashita no Joe. Thank you for making this! If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have watched the best anime put on television! Ashita no Joe is now my favorite anime of all time and I have you to thank for that! 🥰❤
This video needs more attention, it’s really good. Great job!
Thank you :)
You were right about spoilers. I already knew about Ashita being punch drunk and dieing but I still watched it.
As a matter of fact, the director of the show talked about that last scene hypothesizing he doesn't physically die in that scene, although it's implied. He says he dies as a boxer, like he'll never box again, and considering that WAS his life that signals the end of the story :)
Holy shit, almost 3 hours of great content from two of my favorite anime youtubers!
Am I really about to watch a hour and 40something minutes video?
Yes. Yes. Yes.
Now I wanna see how Caribou would react to Megalobox2 Nomad.
I watched Megalo Box without ever watching Ashita no Joe. Thanks for this glorious video to help me respect and love Megalo even more than before - it’s easily in my top five anime. Guess it’s time to hop on Ashita soon.
I’m also REALLY enjoying how you get excited and tell over the same things I loved too, haha! Super relatable.
Thanks! I hope you enjoy Joe just as much you did MB ^_^
The Aragaki Fight is definitely my favorite fight during the short series. The shot of the veterans association graveyard was a haunting scene. And what followed it was also great.
Can’t wait for you’re reaction to nomad
You didn't have to do this, but you did. This video will be cherished for years and forever.
Is that a Joe Joe reference...?
Just, just had to.
It's in my nature.
I subscribed to your channel
It's useless
but I don't give a fuck
Yes, it's in your nature to be a sheep millennial.
No, Jojo referenced Joe.
I hate this meme so much
the virgin jojo reference vs giga THAD Joe Reference
I just watched nearly 2 hours of references as well as a person who enjoys Ashita no Joe and Megalo box, that's enough for me to sub! +
5)gg0, 5.,
This is one hell of an amazing reference video.
1:09:34 is rlly funny lol I thought about how it was weird for a moment to see Joe and Yuri talking so leisurely and hanging out chatting at the very end but I never realized how Joe and Rikiishi basically almost never had a chill conversation.
That was one hell of a video! Congratulations man... You are the best anituber right now imo!
I'm watching ashita no joe right now tbh it's so dramatic & emotional it's different
nice video man. I loved your "main event" video, so this was a pleasure from the start. keep it up
Ayyy thank you!!
I literally watched Ashita No Joe because of Megalobox and am now a hardcore fan.
"They don't make tombstones for stray dogs"-Junk dog
One of the best lines ever said in anime 10:05
1:27:37
Lol I do not think it's a stretch I agree, every time I listen to the first Joe OP I can even see the danpei crying in my head, I was wondering when Nanbu would turn on the waterworks
Your going to make me watch Ashita no Joe, I'm so hype cause I Love old anime like Ippo, Robotech, and Gundam. (well I watch those three) Keep doing what you do Respect for people who love older anime.
Please do every Ashita No Joe reference in Hajime No Ippo. One episode I found Ippo wearing a jacket with a red shirt when he was depressed.
LMAO that's good!! I was gonna point out JD's red shirt too but was like "that's too much" even with some of these other ones. I don't think I'd do something similar to this (cause you'll probably see why ahhhhh) but that's not a bad plan! I'd have to completely rewatch Ippo tho, which is...a lot :V
I should probably peek those. I actually didn't do any research with this video, almost all of these observations are my own.
The thumbnail should be a pic of Ippo + pic of Sendo = pic of Joe? For that Ippo and Joe video
Great video man. You killed it, maad late to this.
Tho I find it funny that some people call motorcycles hogs, some one really liked Joe riding that pig
Ohohohoho
OHOHOHOHOHOHOOOOOOOOOOOO
Holy hell, 2 hours!?
Hey bro this video is just poppin up for me, but this some the great content for Joe/Megalo Box thanks man
🙏🙏
I know this is related to ashita no joe, but I noticed something in the series. The character designer Hiroshi Shimizu was also a character designer for Michiko to Hatchin. I noticed the similarities in their styles. Joe, Junk Dog is similar to Michiko Malandro. I know this is dedicated to ashita no joe, but I just can't help but see the similarities in the characters with Joe.
The first time that I saw this video duration I thought that was a bait but no lol, that was really a very big reference video with almost 300 references, thanks for the effort man.
Thank you haha I mean, it's ALMOST bait, cause like half the video is not spent on references, but still a comparison and something I was strongly compelled to include. Glad you enjoyed!
Nah, I think that part made the video more complete 👍🏼
What do you think about covering Megalo 2 now? Never seen Joe, but I am sure it's not another celebration of Ashita no Joe, and instead, it's own thing, working towards the future of itself, which is the message that I got watching your video until the end, also, Nomad made me cry a river at the end of the story of the hummingbird, or el conto del colibri
I started with Megalo Box and loved it. Watched AnJ about a year or two later and loved it too, only real problem is how 1 and 2 were separated. Imagine if we got AnJ with one team from start to finish.
Honestly I really like how drastically different Joe 1 and 2 are production wise, it actually reflects the tone of both halves of the story. And Joe 2 is fantastic in part to Dezaki's direction, and it gives me solace that he also directed Joe 1, his debut work as a director in fact :)
This is some of the best content anime RUclips has to offer
This is so amazing I love ippo and pasted on joe and megaloo but I must see these now and watch your video a few more times because I love your passion about this show
almost two hours of memories and happiness
I'd genuinely love to hear your thoughts on Megalo Box 2: Nomad. It's so clear that you're very passionate about the show on its own as well as an homage to Joe. Admittedly, I've never seen Joe, so I'm curious to know if it continues to be referenced in Nomad.
It's tough bc I don't normally want to make a similar or "sequel" vid, and I think Nomad really departs from Joe and becomes it's own thing, which I feel like I want to respect and not meticulously compare as I did here
This video was amazing. You have my upmost respect sir.
And you got my respect for watching it haha thank you! ^_^
Perfect vid after finishing season 2. You gotta check it out!
Get On your feet joe was the greatest feeling ever
Fearless Joe was an awful idea.
The average guy was using power enhancing devices. He was clearly at a huge disadvantage.
I liked how he naturally got scared in the first match.
Yeah the idea of gear IS inherently silly, it should be left for children to play with instead, as that theme wraps up in the show.
I have seen Megalobox coming off of Hajime no ippo as both my first sports and boxing anime in one. I was enthralled. even more so when the second season came out. Nomad was great but i still don't think I understand it so far, as do I not think i will right now. Megalobox meant a lot to me and after coming across this channel, specifically the magnificant "What inspired gurren lagann" I became invested. I am currently amidst my first watch of Tomorrow's Joe. I am highly enjoying the series so far. The rough charakter that breaks every trend modern anime has put on its protagonist aswell as the limited animation the 70s (i am assuming its a 70's show. I don't get cought up on detail a lot) give the show so much charm and raw charakter that its hard to imagine a world where anime wasn't shook to its core by joes influence. (side rant as an aspiring animator: I love old anime because oftentimes animation is reused in smart ways and when its not or scenes are particularly smooth or detailed it notes what was deemed "important" to the show. Seeing the process behind the product so clearly is a rare sight these days and I am in love with how well shows were able to look back in the day with a fraction of the manpower and budget todays shows get.)
There is no point to this post other than chronologing my journey to find joe and thank you for making content that inspires people to venture to new frontiers of the media they love.
I'm so glad you're enjoying Joe! 😄
This is passion right here!
Still think Yuri should have won or they shouldn't show us the results of the match. Besides that, just as Ashita no Joe was something of it's own, this show was also something of it's own.
Dope video, I just finished watching it after 3 days, really dope stuff only recommendation is if you upload it, into individual episodes which currently to my knowledge it’s not (I might not know about them) I think it will do you good in terms of audience retention and watch time, other than that great video
I did consider that, you're def right about that. I just enjoyed the aesthetic of this monster sized video and calling it "Every Reference" haha Thank you for watching! :D
👏👏👏 Amazing job with this video my dude! I impressed at how much effort you put into this video, and even more with all the references you caught! I adored Megalo Box so I watched this video all in one sitting, and now I'm definetly going to check out Ashita no Joe! Nice work!
Awesome! Thanks for watching! Hope you enjoy Joe ^.^
Onna is a double entendre for both Owner and "woman" as Onna is also japanese for woman
Thank you for this awesome video.
thank you for watching it!
@@CaribouCoon already watched 2 times. One of my fav anime!
thank you
Gran vídeo, sigue así!
This video is amazing...
It has been a while, welcome back xD
I dont think you covered this scene but there is one where Joe visits Carlos while he is wheelchair bound and they have a wholesome conversation. Similar to Yuri visiting JD in his wheelchair. Then the two champs reminisce about their fight.
The scar is literally the same scar on the wolf's temple
Holy shit I just realized the kid on the music scenes could be Chief's son or Mio.
Idk if it could be Chief's son since I thought he died before they made it to that area?
I missed you friend!!!
Nice video dude!
Now I want Ashita no Joe be reanimated by MAPPA as they did to DORORO!
I agree , I liked them cause I'm a fan of boxing although I do a little about propper script writing ; I didn't notice the similarities till just now .
Will you be doing a reference video for Nomad? I've noticed a LOT of parallels there too
oh not all boxers do roadwork, Tyson didnt do it. no one has found that it actually does something useful btw
wow crazy length
I love both this series
the scene of aragaki putting it down and wailing in agony is some peak voice acting till this day. Thats not a sound i ever want to hear another man make. Id be horrified to even ask
Why do you hate that the main wins sure sometimes you lose and don’t get what you want in the end but I felt like Joe deserved it through everything they went through I just sometimes don’t understand the point why people want to the main to lose at the end
Thanks for this.
Do Hajime references Ashita. Sendo was KO'ed on the stool against Ippo in the first fight. In their fights they always do cross-counters
YURIIIIIIIIIIIIII!!!
JOEEEEEEEE!!!
Seeing that in the show the chairs might be foldable there’s a chance there are 2v2 1v1v1v1 1v3 and 2v1 1v1v1
If you watch Ashita no joe. You'll notice how much Yabuki's voice matches with Junk Dog's. Same thing with Danpei to Nanbu😉
The whole series is actually tribute to Ashita no joe.
I want a reboot for ashita no joe
no pls
Thats megalobox
Bro, joe is ideal as it is.
Megalobox needs more attention 🙏
I know the video is long but it felt really incredible
Well, time to grab some popcorns.
Enjoy haha!
Great video
1:13:45
ah, yes
what rwby fans are currently saying
i should know, i'm one of them
Lmao

Can’t wait to see a sequel to this video
I wonder if we’ll get this for season 2 of Megalobox…
we did
Already happend
Who needs romance! We got boxing and sports rivals!

THAT LAST SHOT ALWAYS HITS ME
Fun fact the name Yuri is a reference to a character named Yuri in episode 69 of Ashita No Joe 1.
lmao of COURSE it was in ep 69, I didn't go looking into 52-79 for references cause I was worried that'd be stretching it (that's how I almost missed Fujimaki having the same scar as Goromaki), but I'll look, maybe there's some characterization parallels too! Thanks! :D
This is legendary
*STRAIGHT* *OUTTA* *NOWHERE*
JD's scar is the same as the Wolfs in the opening
Even Urasawa referenced Ashita No Joe in 20th Century Boys
amazing
Woah I'm impressed by the sheer length of this video. But sorry man I won't be watching this, I haven't finished megalobox yet
Still I'm sure it's a great vid
Hope you remember it and come back when you do ^.^
Bro when you said that i just noticed how long this video was, and im half way through!!
