| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- How on earth does this have no discussion thread? THE ENDING. THE UPDATED VISUALS. THE ATMOSPHERE. Holy shit what a great first episode of this installment. So melancholy and thoughtful. The world feels a little more alive now, animation looks even better than the original. OST is absolutely astounding once again, the OP is so damn catchy. Joe as a character looks sharp now, there's more to his design and he's looking really polished. Boy I'm looking forward to this. Please protect Joe/Danpei's smiles ;____; |
| the official MAL hall of fame/cursed comments is now open for business - you are welcome to PM me any potential quotes to include |
| Excatly my fucking thoughts, whoa. |
| The new animation really surprised me. It's so colorful, so shaded, so 80s. The music and sound is great too. I kind of like the old cast better thoug, specifically Nishi's voice. |
| Wasn't some things in this episode a recap? felt like I already saw it from Season 1. But forget about that holy shit the animation...so good and in 1080p which the previous season didn't have :o |
 |
| They aren't going to continue from where they left it in season 1, that was a surprise. Basically the same with the change that Joe didn't go to jail after the fight with Gondo. I don't like the change of the kids. |
 |
| Hmm didn't expect they would continue from after the Rikiishi match. And holy shit, I know 10 years passed between the airing premiere of both seasons, but the visuals are looking awesome. Not that I had anything against the ones from the first one, still this alone will make this season a bit more enjoyable I guess^^ |
One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron |
| That quality improvement, I liked the gritty art style of Joe 1, but this one looks so nice as well, and what is clear is that the animation is 10x better, seeing Rikiishi KO'ing Joe with this quality was awesome. I really liked the guy who stomped Wolf, so cool. Joe went back to see Nishi and Danpei! Hype. |
 |
| This season will be much better but I wonder how long this recap will continue. |
| Loving the updated visuals and art, Akio Sugino's designs look so fucking good in higher resolution. Also, thank god for the upgraded sound quality, now Sachi's voice won't make my ears bleed every time she talks. |
 |
| A phenomenal upgrade. i was waiting for this since i started watching the first season. Osamu Dezaki's touch as a director is slightly presented here, unlike the majority of the first season, which in turn will make me enjoy and appreciate the show even more. |
| Okay some of these new voices are REALLY throwing me off, especially Nishi (that threw me aback), and from what I've heard the BGM isn't up to snuff. BUT! Dear God are these visuals amazing. Movie quality aesthetics, with prime Shingo Araki character designs, a visual treat to say the least. |
| In ten years, the animation of the series has changed for very well! Is awesome, the opening, the soundtrack, the ending, imo it is comparable with those of the first series. The art in sight is now much more comfortable, I like it a lot as how it fits into the series. Look at Sachi and the boys!! The instruments of the opening when Danpei sees Joe is very good, I repeat, I love how it fits in the series. |
psiaken said: Because the season 1 is mostly filler after Rikiishi vs Joe.yeah, it's an upgrade from season 1 but why did they move so much into the past? I've watched this in season 1 several days ago... |
| I can't believe I forgot how brutal Ashita no Joe gets. It's certainly been a while. |
| Holy shit all the characters look so much more clean and detailed now! Really nice especially for a 70s show :). Let's see Joe get back into that ring soon! |
 |
| The animation may be significantly better (Ten years will do that), but I just don't like the artstyle as much as I did with the original. The dramatic charcoal shading completely replaced with perfectly spaced thick lines, the colors that don't pop anymore, and something about the new eyes bothers me. Maybe it's just me. Otherwise, I'm still very excited to see what's changed during Joe's absence. |
Opinions are opinions, and differing opinions can co-exist. 🙂 But I don't do debate, life's too short to spend time debating people.  |
| Seeing Wolf's jaw actually break was disturbing ... So I'm guessing we're supposed to ignore everything after Rikiishi's death from the first season, shame because I thought they did a pretty good job with the story. Seems they're going to at least head in the same direction, Joe's depression and only going for body blows. Nishi's VA changed but at least this VA fits better than the one they used in the movie. Animation and art have significantly improved, will be exciting to see what they can do with it. The atmosphere also feels a lot more gritty to me, which I like. |

| An decade really changed the animation The quality so much better |
