| Yes, because used the "Gear" to help to "boxing"!!! I suppose that in the next chapter the young will lost against the champion and will try to vengeance in the Megalo Tournament, i suppose just!!! kekeke |
| Pretty good 1st episode. The animation wasn't the highlight, but still pretty ok |
 |
| God damn, I fucking like everything here. Sure we may not get the crisp art. But that is top notch art and animation. Look at those backgrounds... Holy shit those are art. Pacing is perfect, main plot is clear and precise from the get go and Junk Dog is a badass. For people thinking the blurs are to save budget. You're dead wrong. This is clearly made with passion, the details and everything is quality. |
| Rocky the anime, and I'm saying that because Yuri is basically that Russian opponent he needed to fight against, only he didn't kill anyone (yet). The only problems I had with this episode was that the dialogue seemed to force too much exposition where it felt very unnatural, and the story is actually a bit cliche. While the animation and shot composition is good to bold, I don't really feel it makes up for some of the flat writing, that said, I am excited for the next episode, if not just to see how the flight will play out. |
| I'm already pretty sure this show will the most underappreciated of the season. I'm very much looking forward to the rest of it. |
| I will insert Yugioh into everything and you can't fucking stop me |
| Impressed by the animation quality, not for being it well animated (there are better animated shows) but by the vibes the creator wanted to give to this anime. An anime from the early 2000 |
| really awesome first episode but this seems manly and mature so it will FLOP in japan, so the story will be rushed because the studio has to rush the story because there wont be another season. This shoul've been a netflix exclusive, not the two trash that comes out in march |
Yeah. I was worried because of this that there are maybe a little possibility it become 'the one who had better equipment win' rather than the fighter technical abilities. But I suppose and very optimistic it doesn't gonna be like that. |
| I'm too weird to live but much too rare to die. |
| Love the plot of this show. The episode was intense and never got me bored. I'd say that I'm not a fan of that blurry art tho, it's ok, but atleast it feels like a 90s anime. |
| Is it just me or this first episode remind someone else of REDLINE? |
Wait, did you just say that Jojo is shit?  |
| Video quality is super bad. Other than that? Quite decent start imho. |
| THat was a pretty nice episode this looks like an interesting show |
| This blew my mind! Fkn hell this was amazing |
 |
| Wow this is looking really good, way to grip ya in the first episode |
My Queens  |
| Anime of the season anyone? Although this is a tough season, it'll have some strong competition in Golden Kamuy, Steins;Gate 0, and My Hero Academia. Still, I have a great feeling about this one! |
| I fucking love hajime no ippo so I’m really excited to see where this show goes. |
| Good start. Was indeed intense. The art was weird, it reminds me a 90's anime. 4/5 |
| amazing first episode |
| Damn I wasn't expecting much since I never heard of it before, but the cover looked so cool I had to check it out. Glad I did! Super intense and intriguing first episode. |
| When I saw Yuri, I thought of Marcus Octavius from Highlander: The Search for Vengeance anime movie ;) It's very similar. |
| Holy shit that was so damn hype! |
 |
| Apart from the ending, which felt a bit forced and cliche, this was a solid episode. It feels so similar to AnJ yet so different. Possible AOTS. |
"Hurry up with my damn croissants." |
| Fuck yeah, Sentarou's voice actor voicing another bad ass character. Solid starting episode, soundtrack, art style, animation and characters are all spot on. The setting and art style really reminds me of Redline. Strong contender for aots imo. |

| Calling it now, Megalo Box will be the best anime this season (not counting sequels) |
| god i thought this anime on P/V isn't that good, but when i watch the 1st episode, my thoughts gone landslide. This one is good, it's not a normal typical boxing anime out there, i definitely gonna watch the next episode. |
| The OST was perfect |
| This left me wanting more! |
 |
| That first episode was Dope |
 |
| Good start for this one, though it didn't blow me away being that the pacing was abit off and it was just some basic setup. I like that it has a very 90's style to it (Definitely got a Cowboy Bebop vibe) with some other design variety worked in, but not keen on the...low quality of the visuals? I don't know how to say it exactly, but while the animation is well done, it all looks like I'm watching an old DVD, sort of a blur to it all and that bugs the hell out of me. This anime is gonna have to get incredibly good to overcome that. |
| I've never seen Ashita no Joe, but goddamn, this sounds like something exactly to my liking =w=. I think I even heard 'The Hand''s sound-effect at some point during the first battle, so fk yes, lol. Not to mention that Junk Dog punching his trainer/manager out of the ring was absolutely satisfying. That guy was really getting on my nerves and I'm glad to see that JD agrees :3. But yeah, the MC and his friend are sympathetic, it's exactly my kind of action anime, it's an original... I think I'll love this anime =w= |
| More! I want more! I didn't get hooked on an anime in a long time now, but this first episode absolutely blew me away. Finally something worth spending time on. |
| Oy oy oy, that was some great start. Love the art & animation, odlschool unfinished~ Bit odd to see the champ already there as it's the first ep but hell, wouldn't be so hype. |
| Ashita no Joe v2 xD |
| But why only 13 episodes :/ |
| The OST is great! Reminds me off Samurai Champloo times |
 |
| I have no interest in boxing whatsoever but watching this first episode has gotten my attention. I like JD so far as a character and the way boxing is sort of futuristic like with the gear they wear for the fights looks awesome. Very intrigued to see where this series goes. |
 |
| The first episode was overwhelming. Great first episode. Can't wait to see the fight. |
| Gritty animation and a promising start, I'm looking forward to this. |
