Happy 100k views on this Ashita no Joe project! Thank you for everyone that spent their time with this long time passion project of mine! It's been a while but I assure you that I'm in the process of delivering more quality content for you guys so stay tuned for my next video coming soon! As for some concerns I've seen from the comments, let me address them quickly here: "Music is too loud" I've taken note of this and will be more careful with the audio mixing for future videos moving forward. For now, I've hired a CC editor to encode english subtitles in this video for you guys so you could understand what I was saying in some parts of the video "What is the music playing at X part" I've told my CC editor to include as much of the titles of the OSTs used in the subs, but just to be safe, let me add the titles in this comment as well! -AnJ OP 2 -Many Rivers to Cross by Jimmy Cliff -Rikishi's Theme -REMEMBER JOE Other than that, thank you for so many kind comments and support in the comment section below! I will definitely choose a handful of comments that are my most favorites to the next video. Thank you so much and let's all strive for a better tomorrow!
I just want to share you that there is always love, hope, forgiveness of sins and eternal life in Jesus. If you come to Him with a sincere and humble repented heart, He can save you and forgive you and give you abundance of joy, love and peace and eternal life. Believe in Jesus: He is The Son of God, He died for our sins and He rose from the dead, Believe in Jesus. “For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.” -John 3:16 “That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.” -Romans 10:9 Repent and Believe in Jesus.
One of the few iconic animanga that change people's lives by how inspiring, realistic and authentic it is. It almost has a life of it's own. Joe Yabuki lives within all of us, right?
@@forgetfulstrangerI don't u will have the guts to do that U need a certain amount of selfishness to abandon everything Joe yabuki in his fight abandoned his women yoko, His foster father coach, His best friend forgot his name And the kids who looked upto joe as hero Joe had that guts to abandon those things Ironically we doesn't possess that much of a Steel heart of a man
I know, right? A pure death, a warrior's death. I don't know if you fight, but there really is a certain kind of euphoria that you can only get in a good fight.@@forgetfulstranger
The Americans have Balboa, the Japanese have Joe of Tomorrow. Strange how separated worlds can have similar heartfelt, timeless and yet never ceases to be inspiring stories.
Sylvester Stallone was probably inspired by "Ashita no Joe", that was broadcast in Italy under the title "Rocy Joe" in the early '70s. He always reminds me of Rikiishi. Japanese contents have always been convenient sources of ideas for Hollywood by the way.
That is the only anime I believe my grandpa ever watched… it felt like if he just didn’t change the channel. But it was indeed that he watched that. He might not remember now , but It got lost until a few years I heard the opening and all the memories came back. He wanted to be a boxer and life made him be successful in other paths. Now I understand the message was for a man like him.
My favorite part of Ashita No Joe is that it isn't the story of The Champion. It's the story of The unranked fighter. The #100-#2 guys. It's the story of the unsung many who never achieve anything in the sport, but still fight like it was their last day.
Yabuki Joe changed my life, ashita no joe will always remain the most important piece of media I've ever consumed, let's all burn out until nothing remains, nothing but pure white ash...
When people talk about the extreme behavior of online fans, I remember that back in the day a funeral was held for a fictional character. Shout outs to Ashita no Joe for being that incredible
I don't say this lightly, but of all the anime video essayists that pop up all the time, this video was very well structured and made. Thank you for actually having something to say and inform us on. I'm wishing you the best!
Thank you for covering Ashita no Joe in depth. I read the translated version of the manga in the 90s and would never thought that it was written in the 60s. That's how timeless the manga is.
I have never read this manga, or do i know this manga, but the way you narrate just how influental and amazing Ashita no Joe is, i was convinced that i have to read it, even though it's really hard for me to have access to it, i have to someday read it as i was really inspired to somehow...recreate it, and after all of that i can't say enough word of how moved i am and how i shed a bit of tear watching the narration, keep it coming man, i would love to hear some more! Godspeed~!
Try mangasee if you're still having trouble. Read from left to right in volume 1, right to left in other volumes since volume 1 is flipped. In short, read in a sequence that makes sense.
You definitely did the series justice with this video. Joe is my favorite manga character of all time, and I'm happy to see a video talk about the series this long after. Thank you for making it!
This video is great. I love your editing and music selection. I've only heard more about the anime and how revolutionary it was for the medium so hearing about the creation of the manga and how the story influenced Japan as a whole is amazing. It just makes me more mad that there isn't a high quality rerelease of the original anime series, only the second part and a recap movie. But after watching this, I'll try even harder to find it in high quality somewhere and start from the beginning of Joe's journey!!!
You know you can watch the 70s anime online right? I really recommend it I havent watched the 80s one yet but 70s is my favorite anime of all time all ready and I honestly Can't imagine 80s being better but everyone says it is
👏👏 wonderfully made vídeo about the iconic Ashita no Joe. It’s amazing to learn how this story came to life. I read the manga many years ago and it touched me so much that changed me. Now I work hard today to become tomorrow’s Joe
So nostalgic. Tommorrow's Joe was one of the first anime I ever watched. It aired dubbed in Mexico in the 80s along with Mazinger Z. Thanks for the vid, it really took me back.
Toei’s Mazinger Z has a Mexican Spanish re-dub with a newly current cast which has dubbed the characters in Mazinger Z infinity. It’s just loosely based on a much more ambitious manga, whose original Shueisha run has only been completed for both French and Italian markets a couple of years back.
I've heard so much about this manga. Especially once I started reading hajime no ippo. The only thing about this mangas legacy that saddens me is that it is slowly being forgotten
Amazing research, amazing presentstion, amazing video overall. Insta-subbed. Thanks for doing this, because this video is like a eulogy of AnJ for the older western fanbase and a 'why-you-should-watch' video for the newer gen. Kudos 👏
I adore Ashita no Joe. It's my favorite anime of all time. I discovered it after watching Megalobox, another fantastic anime series that was a spinoff of Ashita no Joe. It's amazing in its own right and it's definitely worth watching if you like this series. Joe Yabuki is my favorite anime protagonist of all time. He feels like a real, living, breathing, feeling person, not just a character. ALL the characters feel like real people. When Rikiishi died I felt like a part of myself died. I was so invested in these characters and their lives. I wanted to see them succeed more than anything. But the worst gut punch to my heart was the fate of Carlos. Death almost seemed like a mercy in comparison to what Carlos went through. And the ending for Joe was just as tragic yet oddly satisfying. Joe went out on his own terms and it was beautifully bittersweet. This anime made me cry more than One Piece did, and that's saying a lot! I remember Joe ❤ Also, 6:44 Osomatsu Kun!! I love that show too lol
Japan's manga industry needs another Ashita no Joe. This was THE manga that kickstarted the economic boom of the 1980s. This manga released and echoed all the frustration and individuality inherent to a generation. It was THE manga that the youth of the time, who felt so disenfranchised get to their feet and give the middle finger to the old fogeys so that they could take the country and push it with or without them. Sadly, the generation raised by Ashita no Joe has fallen back on the culture that held THEM down and is keeping anything resembling Ashita no Joe for this generation and the last down with compliant, by-the-books stories like Konosuba and the horrible Isekai sub-sub-genre. There needs to be a story that rouses the youth, but instead subliminal pacifying messages in modern anime and manga exist to keep men down. Notice the facsimile of protagonists, the "literary reward matrix" in story progression. It's all there to keep them passive and adherent. It's borderline depressing. The color and individuality of Japan is now just a product without a soul, whose gears are turned by routine and the lie that your worth is tied to the society instead of what you decide for yourself. Ironically, the generation that was raised by Joe has forgotten what Joe taught them.
Hey Man, whatever doubts you have if any they'll still be there but just know that you put the video out and you began the journey into YT. This is a great introspective video and I really learned something new here. Keep it up.
If someone who hasn't yet watched the anime comes around, I urge you to do so. It's a work of art that incapsulate Japan from those years. It's not a boxing story but the story of a kid who ends up boxing, it's packed with lessons (life, death, dreams and their cost) and - something modern mangas lack - consequences. It also offers some of the most beautiful songs in the field, seriously. The first season can be an hard watch because it has all the tropes from the old style but season two is vintage, just peak animation. Just know that the story hits hard, harder than Joe's cross-counter move. Cheers.
The work that created Battle Shounen, with struggles, effort and triumph, proved to be deeper than many Seinen, which is an entire demographic not a genre but which is always played against the Shounen and the Battle Shounen genre, and Ashita no Joe is deeper and more realistic and cruel than many of these Seinens Yes, these stories have a lot of fighting, as if we didn't have Battle Seinen focused on beatings and as if fighting wasn't a deep element of character development, it's through fighting that these characters develop that Joe evolves and devolves, but always moves forward even if it costs his life, that to me is more mature than regular Seinens fans can realize.
Wow! I talked to my younger cousin Hana about Tomorrow’s Joe, but she cannot watch it until she becomes a teenager. As a manga fan, I do want a spiritual successor to Tomorrow’s Joe as well. Because me and my fellow Gen Zeds aren’t happy about the overwhelming lack of powerfully good youth aimed shows this decade and before that.
this realy is a great video, i thought you were a massive channel because of the clean delivery and smooth editing but goddamn this is underrated, i truly hope you make more videos and ill try to share this with every friend that would enjoy this topic, much love from jordan
I enjoyed the video a lot. Lots of detailed knowledge that you present in a suspensful way. I have watched the anime but had no idea that it is this HUGE of a legacy.
@@Aceshura i never said he is a copy And I am a manga reader I know he got punched drunk My point is that He shouldn't have a tragedic ending because it will be become a cheap copy I never said ippo as a cheap ok But if tragedy happens with his body then it will be like ashita no joe again
@@Aceshura I am not saying he is bad but as a character sendo is sure a power guy and A fun character but Man oh man Joe is just on another level He cannot be compared Joe yabuki I can say he is the best sports mc of all time
@@Aceshura ippo has hardship but is he a best mc of all time No Hajime no ippo is 2nd best because of every character Since every character is iconic be it the kohai,senpai Rivals and even the coach itself It is just a cummuliation of character that makes hajime no ippo as best Even background character like umezawa too But in terms of development ippo is way weaker but he is still likeable than 90 percentage of mc in sports because he can entertain the audience With his comedy Unlike other mc or example sakurai,ashito, sawamura, hinata Ippo is better since he does know how to entertain with his comedy Others look idiot when they do comedy And Ashita no joe is best just because of yabuki He himself alone carries the show
Well put together video, keep up the good work SMEAR. Loving the Jimmy Cliff (I believe) soundtrack too... you prob got copyright claimed for it though.
Such and inspiring video not only that a great recommendation for anybody who wants to read or watch a new Manga/anime i had to SUBSCRIBE KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK BROSKI🎉
I was never into sports, boxing or like the idea of competing for money & fame of any kind.. since i tended to be timid & shy. I was mostly an arts & science kind of person. i find sports to be competitive & pretentious for my taste. One of the major aspects that really drew me into this series was how relatable the main character's struggles & the various themes within the story was presented. Joe's growth & maturity as a character was also very touching & inspirational to me. I see Joe's path in becoming addicted/obssessed with boxing as more of a cautionary tale. I'm hoping this video will blow up & get more people's attention to read or watch this underrated character-driven underdog story from japan 👍
I appreciate this anime because it really shows the dark side of boxing. Especially in the 1960s, boxing was different. 15 whole rounds or so. And I also love the detail to every downside of boxing and everything that affects the athlete himself, the weight cutting, the CTE, traumas. Etc etc! Ashita No Joe is my favorite boxing anime besides Hajime No Ippo due to its gritty nature. It’s a masterpiece. Question is….could Ippo fight Joe??
Just finished watching AnJ 2 months ago. No other piece of media has really impacted as much as this show alone. Joe as a character is far from perfect, he isn't a conventional "idol" nor a "hero". Joe in the beginning of the series is a rowdy delinquent. He's untrustworthy, conventionally stupid, and extremely violent on some occasions. But as the series goes on, as misfortune after misfortune strikes Joe, he grows. He develops a real sense of morale, you end up really respecting him. His actions end up motivating you. Seeing Joe start from nothing, go to hell, and having a satisfying ending for his own character is beautiful

As for some concerns I've seen from the comments, let me address them quickly here:
"Music is too loud"
I've taken note of this and will be more careful with the audio mixing for future videos moving forward. For now, I've hired a CC editor to encode english subtitles in this video for you guys so you could understand what I was saying in some parts of the video
"What is the music playing at X part"
I've told my CC editor to include as much of the titles of the OSTs used in the subs, but just to be safe, let me add the titles in this comment as well!
-AnJ OP 2
-Many Rivers to Cross by Jimmy Cliff
-Rikishi's Theme
-REMEMBER JOE
Other than that, thank you for so many kind comments and support in the comment section below! I will definitely choose a handful of comments that are my most favorites to the next video. Thank you so much and let's all strive for a better tomorrow!

Joe has to be one of fictions most influential characters ever.
He is the best anime sports mc of all time

Man oh man
Joe is just on another level
He cannot be compared
Joe yabuki I can say he is the best sports mc of all time
@@Aceshura ippo has hardship but is he a best mc of all time
No
Hajime no ippo is 2nd best because of every character
Since every character is iconic be it the kohai,senpai
Rivals and even the coach itself
It is just a cummuliation of character that makes hajime no ippo as best
Even background character like umezawa too
But in terms of development ippo is way weaker but he is still likeable than 90 percentage of mc in sports because he can entertain the audience
With his comedy
Unlike other mc or example sakurai,ashito, sawamura, hinata
Ippo is better since he does know how to entertain with his comedy
Others look idiot when they do comedy
And Ashita no joe is best just because of yabuki
He himself alone carries the show
Good shit brother! Keep it up ❤
Thank you so much! This video was research heavy so I'm glad you enjoyed it until the end!
I absolutely love this video, i have a playlist with my most favorite video essays. this is the 12th
Awesome video! I’m a fan of Hajime No Ippo and I will definitely check this manga out. Thank you.
Ashita No Joe - Interesting title worth checking out considering its influence on Manga in general.
Well put together video, keep up the good work SMEAR. Loving the Jimmy Cliff (I believe) soundtrack too... you prob got copyright claimed for it though.
EXCELLENT WORK ❤❤❤
Never had thought that i was going to see Terayama Shuji in a video about Ashita no Joe, and didnt that he was involved in Rikishi's funeral

Great Video keep it up man
I really like the way you tell this story.
That was a wonderfull video my friend!🎉😢😇❤️🔥🤝👏
I love this anime so much, it's absolutely perfect.
Why did bro drop a banger anj video and disappear, i really hope you're cooking another insane video for us, thank you for your efforts.❤
What a well made video
I was never into sports, boxing or like the idea of competing for money & fame of any kind.. since i tended to be timid & shy. I was mostly an arts & science kind of person. i find sports to be competitive & pretentious for my taste. One of the major aspects that really drew me into this series was how relatable the main character's struggles & the various themes within the story was presented. Joe's growth & maturity as a character was also very touching & inspirational to me.
I see Joe's path in becoming addicted/obssessed with boxing as more of a cautionary tale. I'm hoping this video will blow up & get more people's attention to read or watch this underrated character-driven underdog story from japan 👍
I appreciate this anime because it really shows the dark side of boxing. Especially in the 1960s, boxing was different. 15 whole rounds or so. And I also love the detail to every downside of boxing and everything that affects the athlete himself, the weight cutting, the CTE, traumas. Etc etc! Ashita No Joe is my favorite boxing anime besides Hajime No Ippo due to its gritty nature. It’s a masterpiece. Question is….could Ippo fight Joe??
this video was great! hope to see more
Please make more joe videos ! Deff subbed and your video is well put together ! I hope to see you grown!
you know the idea of dying for what you love is inspiring.
I really liked this video. Made me feel younger and determined for some reason. Cool.
You got your self a new subscriber great doc dude keep it up 👍
Just finished watching AnJ 2 months ago. No other piece of media has really impacted as much as this show alone. Joe as a character is far from perfect, he isn't a conventional "idol" nor a "hero". Joe in the beginning of the series is a rowdy delinquent. He's untrustworthy, conventionally stupid, and extremely violent on some occasions. But as the series goes on, as misfortune after misfortune strikes Joe, he grows. He develops a real sense of morale, you end up really respecting him. His actions end up motivating you. Seeing Joe start from nothing, go to hell, and having a satisfying ending for his own character is beautiful
Brother I'm so happy that your third view breached 100k. I'm so happy for u
Fire video,and fire story telling 🔥🔥🔥
