Especially since some of those episodes cover events that are covered better in Joe part 2. Yeah.I just skipped those like everyone else. While the soundtrack is limited, it REALLY does its job! Joe and Rikiishi are each given iconic themes that will be forever remembered in Japan and around the anime loving world! The OP and ED are both amazing. The last great thing I'll talk about in Joe part 1 is the music. Osamu Dezaki is a genius! Due to the extremely strained budget, there are some animation errors and scenes that don't look perfect, but relative to its time Joe is incredible! It was airing alongside the original Speed Racer and looks like an anime from 1985. By the end of part 2, EVERYONE is cheering for Joe and shouting at the screen! I would argue it's one of the best if not THE best face turns in anime.Īnother great part of Joe 1 is simply how outstanding it looks for a 1970 anime. Throughout its long runtime, Joe goes from being someone you hate to someone you cheer wildly for. When he first fights his rival Rikiishi, we're all cheering for Joe to get his ass kicked and learn some damn humility. That's not the case here! The show goes out of its way to make the viewer angry at Joe. What makes him so special? How about the fact that he spends the first 20 episodes being a loathsome, nigh irredeemable asshole? We've seen plenty rough shonen heroes who're "jerks with a heart of gold" like Yusuke in Yu Yu Hakusho or Jotaro in JoJo. Also yes, Joe is technically shonen and not a seinen.
Joe is rather unique among shonen protagonists. That's pretty much a self evident truth to everyone who has seen this series. I don't feel that's a controversial statement. Part of Joe part 1 is Joe's character development. Without further ado, here are my thoughts on anime's most iconic sports entry. Due to Joe's length and my desire to avoid spoilers, I'll be dividing Parts 1 and 2 into pros and cons. Oh hell yes! Today is FINALLY the day I talk about Ashita no Joe! It took me about 6 months to finish part 1 and part 2, but my god was it worth it! I finished part 2 at the beginning of this year and it's simply outstanding! Today's review will be covering parts 1 and 2 because I'm frankly too lazy to write 2 separate reviews.
