Ashita no Joe

Read, then watch.

Read, tha pacing of the anime is really slow

>>158870308
Keep in mind that it's really depressing

Is there any chance of the Manga being scanlated properly? I want to read it but the only available scans are left to right

Read.

If you want to see things moving, just watch the recap movies.

Shhhh, Big Brother Joe is sleeping

>>158870308
Yeah

>>158872882
Why is he sleeping in boxing ring?

>>158873305
Boxing is a very tiring sport

Our goddess place

It becomes right to left around chapter 4.

Joe losing to Mendoza was extremely bullshit. He completely dominated him during the whole fight.

>But muh white ashes winning or losing doesn't matter
Still bullshit.

>>158870308
Do both? i guess who i am to tell what you do.
Anyway it's sad and old fashioned. Damn i still fell for that Rikishi dude, i wish neither of them were so god damn stubborn.

I actually just finished reading this about an hour ago.
100% worth it, would recommend.

Watched the anime last year, hajime no ippo is much better

>>158872754
Should I read or watch Ippo?

I'm hoping we get a western release one day with the amount of old school manga like Devil Man and Harlock we're getting next year.

Do I make this or Hokuto no Ken the 100 + episode anime I watch over summer?

>>158875181
neither

>>158872813
Are they the whole series?

>start reading the manga
>its pretty good
>scanlation quality goes to absolute shit at the very end of Volume 3

>>158876226
Whatever nerd. Try reading it as it was coming out at a fucking snails pace especially with all the cliffhangers

Will Japan ever mourn a fictional character as much as Rikishi?

This is still one of the best OP themes ever. I listen to it every time I work out.

It's worthwhile to do both.

Go to prison, get beaten by a gorilla but still get a KO. Suddenly coach NTRs you with a literal no one skeleton for some silly reason you could teach him in seconds if you told him. And the other guy is actuyally good with just that.
This was stupid, this is certainly not a sports manga.

I dropped the manga after the Machine fight. It was so onesided that I just assumed that's how it'll be for the rest of the series; onesided repetitive fights.

Guys, I don't know how to tell you this, but after reading the manga I only have 1 thing to say.
It's incredibly silly and the writing is stiff as fuck. I have 2 example pages but I'll just upload the writing part (maybe it's just the translation).

How to convey hate towards a character?
Say it explicitly, Jesus lord what am I reading?

>>158873507
He really freaking didn't. I think only 4-5 rounds were either in Joe's favor or so even it could've gone either way.

I feel like Ashita no Joe 2 (covers the second-half of the story) is superb and can be enjoyed even by someone who is not used to watching old anime

>>158876683
I do the Joe whistle and sing the first OP all the time, especially when lifting.

I wish I had a cool Joe shirt but I've never seen one that looked good.
