I can't really tell how related to Joe this series is. I'd like to watch it, but would I be better off watching Joe first? It's one I'm looking forward to, so I don't want to spoil anything.

No need. It was inspired by Ashita no Joe. Its not a sequel, more like a spiritual successor. Watch it. Megalo box's first ep is amazing. Go watch Ashita no Joe too if ur not picky about old animation, the story is great, and its a classic.

Just watch Megalobox first. This isn't a sequel or anything. It's a reinterpretation.

It's like watching a film remake. You don't need to watch the original beforehand. Although in this case after Megalobox i highly advise you watch Ashita no Joe. It's a masterpiece in every essence of the word.

Recommend me some short Manga!

You can draw some parallels between the characters, that's about it.

Maybe there will some more references or anything, who knows. But Megalo Box can certainly be enjoyed as stand alone work.

They may be in the same universe but are not sequels or anything.

Just like Tarantino movies who share an universe but are not related to one another besides that.

You're free to watch any of them.
Perhaps even side by side for comparison.
Though personally, Ashita no joe holds a place in my heart and chronologically speaking, it came out first so you should watch it first.

I've also been curious about this point. I would love to start watching this anime, but I am also planning on possibly watching the earlier episodes, and am scared about those becoming spoiled for me if Megalo Box portrays the same scenes or plot in a more perfectly drawn animation style. Does anyone have advice regarding this?

Stand alone stories more than anything else. Joe is only related to Megalo through the anniversary and some small nods, but they are entirely separate. The only way you can be spoiled from this anime is if they pull Joe out of nowhere.
Yeah right there is no way a doujin about vomit exists.

Ashita no Joe and Megalo box are disappointing anime.

I'd say watch Joe first so you can compare Megalo Box better

I think its safe to assume the series will be a very loose remake so there is still some potential that it could spoil the original, but at the same time if the remake itself does an amazing job in its own right does that really count as a spoiler.

Jizzy as you would call yourself because youre a dick The most butthurt award goes to you And clearly you havent watched that many shows thats why you cant determine if a show is unique or not Or maybe you're just a child who likes common stuffs where hero saves the day and guys gets all the girls. Sad taste you have there kid you came up to me in the first place making you look more like a kid who got slapped without me even knowing it and start crying about it to me
