| Holy shit that was so good. |
 |
| Holy shit. I dunno what I expected, but it was certainly not this. Amazing art Style, reminding me of Cowboy Bebop, Trigun, Akira and other late 90's early 00's anime The music also reminds me a lot of cowboy bebop. Amazing I am not a fan of sports anime but this here got my interest immediately. |

| Very intense episode,the 24 min flew.I love the chara design,and that ost during the staredown with Yuri tho,magnificent.Hype for the next ep |
| "You are the leaves bathing in the sun, I am the roots that grow in the dark." |
| I gotta say it's a good start, love the soundtrack already. I have to give my thanks to the person who recommend this for me. |
| I like what "The Anime Man" had to say about it. That's pretty much what I think. |
 |
| Aside from the blur, this episode was top notch and a really exciting start, cannot wait for ep 2 to finally see some real boxing from junkdog I just hope the plot doesnt end up being the same as ashita no joe, just cause we all know how it will end and that kind of takes away a bit of the suspense if its just redoing literally the single most iconic anime scene of all time. |

| I'm really excited to see how the studio handles the fight scenes next episode. Hope its good. So far its not that bad. |
| awesome soundtrack Beautiful animation Very awesome first episode It kind off reminds me of samurai shamploo |
| It was a nice episode. It caught me, so I'll see this show entirely and It looks like it won't dissapoint me. |
| Karasuno Fight!!! |
| Really enjoyed the first episode and the music is so cool. I hope that in the future they will release a CD or the full list of the music. |
| Holy moly. Talk about blowing my expectations out of the water. This was outrageously good. |
 |
| The animation looks pre2k-ish, haven't watch ashita joe but I felt cowboy bebop vibe here from the animation and music. Love the ED's smooth style, with a matching retro lights. Haven't watch much boxing in a long while after Hajime no Ippo. looks like the dark horse of the season |
 |
| The gear looks more badass than the first PV but still a bit stupid and clunky. However the anime is better than I expected, it was an exciting episode. The one thing I didn't considered at first when criticizing the gear was how much bloody would the matches could be *_* I can't not draw parallels with the Ashita no Joe characters and that makes it even more enjoyable. |

| I don't know what to say.. but so far for this 'heavy-weight anime', 9/10. |

| Some moments were too "shonen" for me (i know, i'm watching anime and that's just anime stuff) but i really wish something really unexpected happened. It resembles a bit too much with Levius which has some brutal moments and top notch drawings, so maybe because of that it didn't really"click" with me. It was good/ok for a first episode, and a nice start. 3.5/5 in this case for me. |

| No complaints. Good buildup and cliffhanger for the fight. |
  |
| I'm in love with the art style |
 |
| It is an interesting art style, the story so far is... well, let's say that I'm not into this sort of narrative for a reason, but hey maybe, probably it will grab me throughout if the MC is entertaining and charismatic enough. Either way, it was entertaining and the old school aesthetics are nice, and I guess I'll get used and fonder of its setting as I watch more episodes. What I didn't like however is the... how do I call it... juvenile edgy vibes it has. At points it looks like a movie by Tarantino or Ritchie, except taken way too seriously and without a fitting sense of self-awareness. That shot of the vomited blood was beyond unneccessary and very cringey. Either way, it is probably a problem of not being able to set the tones right in this first episode. |
| I guess JD's gonna leave the ring bleeding, as usual. His path to becoming the Megalonia champion is gonna be fascinating to watch :D |
dott_1 said: I dont think it will be a good idea to expect anything not "shounen" or whatever that implies given that this is just a soft remake of ahita no joe, one of the single most successful and influential shounen series ever if not the single most given how much it rippled into the medium as a whole even today.Some moments were too "shonen" for me (i know, i'm watching anime and that's just anime stuff) but i really wish something really unexpected happened.

| Super impressed with the first few minutes. The art is really cool and I'm digging the setting. Really curious to see how next episodes fight goes off... assuming it's not just a taste of the finale. |
| This'll get new folks into Ashita no Jo probably. At least they'll know about the one that started it all thanks to this wonderful series. 5/5 episode, what I would've said has already been said in previous posts here. |
| yoooooo this was a super dope episode. I loved the style immediately. Almost everything about this episode was badass. This one is going to be fun to watch. -Junk Dog is sick. Love his personality. Literally a DAWG chained up, and at the end up the episode he broke free from his chain. -Yuri looks sick, and I always love a revered antagonist going up against the underDAWG protagonist. Cant wait to see their final fight. -Boxing is a great sport to make an anime out of especially if you add different aspects to it. Loved the premise right away. -Overall this episode was about a 4/5 for me. Not perfect, but still good enough to hook me for the rest of the season. I feel like I could probably binge watch this if all 13 episodes came out and be satisfied. |

| I had no idea about this anime until i stumbled upon the Opening on youtube and it looked awesome, and this first episode was great, THIS is how you start a story. |
| Holy shit, I was pretty blown away by that 1st ep. Everything about it has me excited for the rest of the show. |
 |
| Not my cup of tea at all... But I won't drop it. Nice to hear Hosoya voicing the main. |
| Mmm that artstyle takes me back! Awesome episode. An interesting choice about the downscale->upscale technique to make it look old, it fooled me... almost thought it was done with cel's. |
| That old school Style is Fucking Dope. I can't wait for more of this. The Cliffhanger to the fight has me all impatient and shit. My legs like spazzing out, cracking a hole into my floorboards. |
| First half was trite common place shit that I've seen before, boxer taking Ls for money, and then it picked up real quick near the end. I like the fact that he did get back in the ring for money before the champ showed up, it's a bit different from other stories that are similar. Now if they can keep it interesting, though there is no source material and its a spinoff project so we will see how it goes. I don't want 12 episodes of ring fighting and flash backs though because that would be trash and you would ultimately know where the show was headed in the very end. |
 |
| This was a very good episode. They quickly set up the world and primary characters and the pacing felt very natural regardless. I can definitely see potential in this anime. I should really watch more boxing anime. |
| the art style remind me of trigun and cowboy bebop and the setting of the world remind me of real steel movie |
| OOOOHHHHH BABY I'm loving this anime already, that was a damn powerful start, and I'm hyped for his fight in the next. And the atmosphere and art style are damn cool, reminds of Red Line, plus that music is sweet as hell. I look forward to more. |
A Wild and Small Otaku has Appeared! |
| omfg amazing !!!! |

| This was a very good start. Love the MC and his antagonist Yuri so far. |

Reckon he will get his ass handed to him but will show some skill which Yuri will appreciate it considering the shithouse gear he is wearing. |
