Megalo Box

Megalobox brought us back to the sport of boxing after it had been off the silver screen for 4 years, with the science fiction twist of augmented physique of boxing gear. The genuine love for the sport runs deep in the show, and you can see it in how our protagonist Joe struggles though his challenges. Modern watchers of anime who picked up the hobby in the 2005+ anime boom of quality and quantity would be remiss not to bring themselves back and experience one of the most popular boxing properties in the anime and manga world. Makunouchi Ippo is the son of a fishing family and a timid high schooler until he has a chance encounter that sets him to find the answer to a single question: "What does it mean to be strong?" The hardships and triumphs of Ippo are those of all that work hard, and it inspires hard work in those who watch. Also the dick jokes are on point. read more 

I dont know what can i say? Both have amazing Main Characters, while different the boxing in both are amazing to watch, Ippo maybe a bit more emotional but that could because they have more time to flesh it out, both have amazing side characters both are worth a watch and to be enjoyed  

Despite both being boxing, Megalo Box has more flashy action shots and awesome techno-funk soundtrack to go with it. Hajime no Ippo has more story to it that gives the fights more heart. Despite the fights not being as flashy because of its age, the timing and fight mechanic breakdowns can keep even newbies invested.  

Both boxing anime, striving to be the best at what they do. 

Better than AnJ and Megalo Box for pure badassery and all around greatness. 

hype you up and boxing 

Megalo Box is a great spin on the sport anime format, but if you'd like a more conventional sport anime featuring boxing then Hajime no Ippo is a fantastic anime in my opinion. 

Both of them have boxing. Hajime no Ippo is more on the realistic side of boxing and Megalo Box is Real Steel on crack, they are both good either way but Megalo Box has a more "funky" OST than Hajime no Ippo. 

both about underdog who rises to be champ in some way  

Both are incredible boxing shows that show the protagonist overcome his enemies with hard work and dedication. The plots are well developed and they set up scenes that will leave whoever is watching with goosebumps.  

If you really like boxing these two definitely similarity 

Two fighters training for the impossible 

Both series have beautiful soundtracks, a retro but memorable artistic style and a story in which all the characters are endearing. 

I guess that's just me but Junk Dog's personality reminds me of Spike in many ways.  

The obvious comparison between the two is the aesthetic - mainly the excellent artistic direction seen in both, however, both are also set in deeply realized futuristic societies and feature charismatic, funny and intriguing characters. Megalo Box follows a much straightforward, predictable story arc than Bebop, but it is enjoyable nevertheless. 

Megalo Box is set in a fairly similar setting - a bit futuristic, but people still live in relative poverty, value friendship, friends, and all of the stuff that comes with it. The first season is more or less an underdog story focused entirely on boxing, but 2nd season is even better and deals with more emotions and psychology. The lower resolution will feel familiar, and the soundtrack is nothing less than epic. 

What can I say? Style works. That's really the only thing for this recommendation. Two vastly different anime but there's this one dude who's kinda there, a little lost but ready to take on what comes his way. Both Bebop and Megalo also have a way with culture, including a different variety of music from rap to jazz to whatever. I guess I could also go on about the atmosphere in general with the world and the team, it really is just small collectives with their own interests in a big world. A boxing anime and a bounty hunter sci-fi adventure. Take your pick, they both serve well regardless.  read more 

Both shows have a very similar aesthetic, and both MC are also very similar.  

Similar art style and music background. Both series take place in a futuristic technological society. Both protagonists are extremely skilled at their trade, seeking a rematch against their rival. 

They share very similar animation styles and they also both have great music. All though the stories and plot are completely different, I enjoyed both Cowboy Bebop and Megalo box immensely. 

-Realistic art-styles. -Good english-dubs. -Great b.g.m. -Awesome action scenes, and animation sequences are dope (but the quality is better in Megalo than it is in Bebop). -Both incorporate sci-fi elements, and drama at times. These shows may be the apt choices for you if you’re really looking for a kind of anime. If you like cowboys or bounty hunters, then please try looking into Cowboy Bebop, and if you are interested in boxing, Megalobox is just the perfect series to watch in that case.  

Both animes have a similar art style and funk kind of vibe.  

The art style and overall vibe is very similar. 

Hip-hop beats and retro-punk vibes. Megalo Box definitely has similarities with Samurai Champloo. 

Draws out a similar vibe as Samurai Champloo... Brown-ish colours. Nostalgic feel. Similar kind of animation. Hip-hop music. MC who has an afro-ish hair and loves the thrill of the fights. 

Both original Both good first episode show Both have kind off similar art style and animation Have great hip hop like ost Both have some great action scene Main character love to fight no matter what consequences happen to them 

The art style and overall vibe are very similar also the protagonist looks and behaves like Mugen (the Mc of Samurai Champloo) so if you enjoy either of those series the otherone ll most likely be to your liking aswell. 

It's kinda funny that Hajime no Ippo is more recommended than Ashita no Joe... very funny.. Ashita no Joe is father of all sport anime/manga a god of all manga, anime that created era. Megalo box is alternative universe of Ashita no Joe and was published and created because of Joe's 50th aniverssary. Junk Dog a.k.a Joe, is basically Joe Yabuki, but in Alternative future. 

Megalo Box is the 50th anniversary commemoration of Ashita no Joe. The plot is very similar.  

Megalo Box is directly influenced by Ashita no Joe and both anime are boxing anime with a main character trying to rise to the top. 

Megalo Box on it's own is amazing. But if you watch Ashita no Joe, all the tributes and subtleties Megalo Box includes makes you appreciate Megalo Box so much more, and just generally takes things to the next level. Megalo Box succeeds with flying colours as both a love letter to Ashita no Joe and its own authentic work of art. If you're a fan of Megalo Box, experiencing its predecessor is a given! (if you can move past the old animation, its well worth it :) 

Megalobox is based of Ashita no Joe but is much shorter and very different despite having similar characters. The twos particularly are quite different with Yabuki Joe being a sociopathic scumbag at the very start and Gearless Joe being a much better and more determined guy 

Megalo Box, an Anime made for Ashita No Joe 50th Anniversary, spiritual successor for it with a very good similar story of both protagonists 

Both are set in a future where there's advanced tech at a lot of people's fingertips. Both are about underdogs that have grown tired of rigged matches and are wanting fair ones, ones where they have a shot at winning with their own skill. Both are about taking their skill to professional levels and showing that they are just as good, if not better than everyone else there.  

TL;DR: Megalobox and Redline share loosely similar premises, characters and settings, so if you like one, the other should satisfy you as well. JP and JD are both underdogs and outcasts in their respective futuristic sports (racing and boxing), participating in fixed races or matches for money. But they both aspire to prove themselves in their sports by making it into high-stakes competitions (the Redline race and Megalonia tournament, respectively).  

The main characters have similar characteristics and they have a similar situation they are in when it comes to their passion for sports into which The main plots are very similar: Both contain sci-fi and hardcore sports. Honestly would not recommend watching these two shows after the other, I think you might get sick as the plot of these two shows plot is very similar. I recommend watching Megalo Box when you miss the Redline plot or if you want to re-watch Redline. 

Both have the same story plot where it was set in a world were things were done that involves advance technology and certain characters who wants to break the stereotype that such things could still be done the old fashion way.  

Set in a world that's a little like ours, but with advancements that are clear, C&T and Megalo Box present characters who start from close to nowhere and drive their way to the top. It's no fun and games all the time, however, as both execute their atmosphere strongly to give you a taste of realistic standards and practices these industries are doing. Whether that be cheating the system or suppressing a particular competition, all dark sides are revealed in both. They are vastly different stories in terms of genre, but they both label industries in the same way and people trying to reach the top from obscure backgrounds.  read more 

Both have a futuristic electronic and utilizes mechanical Limbs that they use in boxing and both series called it "Gear" Both male mc try to win no matter what the cause is. Good boxing fights. Mature mc. overall if you liked Levius you will like or love Megalo Box 

Similarities -Both MC have dirty pasts -Both MCs are rising through the ranks to the top -Both MC's trainers have an eyepatch (and facial hair) -Both MCs are reckless in their matches -Both MCs are involved in prosthetic-aided boxing Differences -Megalobox is 2D; Levius is 3D -Megalobox artstyle mimicks the 1990-2000s era;Levius artstyle mimics 2010-2020s art style (similar style to Violet Evergarden)  

The only thing I can really go on about is the tournaments in both which involve a ton of fighting. I suppose that's true for a lot of anime, but these are based on martial arts, also set in a world that's like ours, but a little into the future with the technology available. This is a little more controversial as well, but I believe both throws out any sense of logic into the equation, they are just random illogical fights stacked on top of each other. But that's nitpicking, more so for Megalo Box. Regardless, both are good action anime for fans looking for some good art and not a lot more.  read more 

-People are basically fighting in an arena, Megalonia and The God of High School. -Crisp animation quality. -Lots of martial arts and combat/boxing skills. -Great fight scenes. 

both series are fight oriented 

It's the motorcycles, they are really cool, but at the very least they make the characters cooler. But it isn't like that's the only thing, it's mostly just that though. Both are pretty similar with characters growing up in "trash" though such that they aren't even allowed to enter the real world out there. They are stories of perseverance as well as cool motorcycles, whether that be duel or box your way to the top, Yusei and Joe is going to do just that, and the motorcycle is going to help a lot.
