I've heard about it before,but the reason I decided to watch it ,is because of the fact that it was made for Ashita No Joe's 50 years anniversary and I really do not regret watching this show.
I firmly believe that it managed to continue Ashita no Joe's legacy
I really liked the story and I was really happy to see that there were so many moments inspired by its predecessor.The first season was basically a modern more light hearted Ashita no Joe and I loved it for that .The second season kept the whole spirit of its inspiration ,but also added its own flavour and introduced darker themes compared to the previous season. I'm really satisfied with this whole journey from start to finish.
I adore the art of Megalo Box ,it manages to feel oldschool yet new and fresh .It has a really unique tone and it is mesmerizing.
The characters of the series were amazing, some were heavily inspired from Ashita No Joe characters ,but had their own unique characteristics and developments ,which made them feel similar yet very different.Chief is my favourite side character ,he is so memorable and impactful.Of course Joe is my favourite overall ,his whole journey was one of a kind .I really loved the development he went through during season 2.
Overall ,Megalo box is an amazing anime ,I would heavily recommend it ,as it provides an amazing short story with beautiful music ,moments and characters.Btw if you are an Ashita no Joe fan and you haven't watched Megalo Box ,just do yourself a favour and watch it ,you won't regret it
