What does the description mean by "the 50th anniversary ashita no joe project"? Is it a reboot of that series?

Also, there is a manga listed for it. Was this anime based off the manga or is it a manga based on the anime?

its some sort of spin-off of Ashita No Joe

the characters of Megalo Box are influenced by the old characters of Ashita No Joe plus the story of boxing and possibly the ending too

so its like a modern retelling of that classic anime Ashita No Joe but you can just watch Megalo Box as a standalone show

i never seen Ashita No Joe too but i read some spoilers about its ending

Tons of references to Ashita no joe. Characters have similarities but also are pretty different than the ones in Joe.
This anime is a stand alone anime not based on anything. I recommend Ashita no joe. Its a masterpiece.

It's an alternative setting, plus some of the story elements have changed to fit that. The original one took place in postwar Japan and it was an underdog story, with Joe being an orphan delinquent who ends up in a juvenile and turns to boxing to scrape a future for himself. In a sense, it was the same: in Japan, orphans were treated like less than dogshit, with family relations and blood being important, and even adopting kids were being shunned. I don't know much about the current situation, but maybe it's better now (but not great).

EDIT: speaking of the devil, I need to finish the manga one day

A passion project people are overhyping. Practically an anniversary project that references and honors Ashita no Joe.
Yeah right there is no way a doujin about vomit exists.

Ashita no Joe and Megalo box are disappointing anime.
