I started watching it since I wanted to see how they did limited animation at the time (like Scooby Doo here) im currently on episode 21 of 70 something.
I watching a lot of different anime before watching this anime,but i didnt get feel like this anime.if i can just watch 1 anime in entire life i gotta pick ashita no joe for sure
I find Hajime no Ippo better.Aldo I will say Ashita no Joe is more unique and is amazing aswell.I still whistle this tune sometimes.But when it comes to motivation and training its not even close to Hajime no Ippo.If you liked Ashita no Joe i recomened you watch Hajime no Ippo.
Hajime no Ippo focuses more on the sport of boxing. Ashita No Joe is a character driven story about 1 boxer mainly. Love them both. But I would give it to Joe but barely.
