Review of Tomorrow's Joe
Ashita no Joe is according to me the greatest animanga of all time. And after finishing both the anime and the manga I feel lika nothing I will read/watch from now on will ever feel this great. In this review I will explain why I think so highly of this anime. First of all, the story is amazing 10/10. Ashita no Joe has a way of raising the atmosphere for everything before it happens, turning every important moment into perfection. The story is told in a very realistic manner, with everything carefully planned beforehand. You don't just get thrown into a sloppy story like withmost anime now days. It's neither rushed nor too slow.
Something that adds to the anime is the way it is directed. I therefore recommend watching this anime, and reading everything that comes afterwards if you want the best experience. The music is well placed in the anime and it fits Ashita no Joes atmosphere perfectly, I'd even say it raises the atmosphere and makes it even better. The opening also fits perfectly, I couldn't imagine a more fitting one. The anime is also very good at expressing feelings, like sadness, loneliness etc. You get dragged in easily, it even made me cry at times even though I don't often cry to shows or movies.
The characters are few but amazing. You can relate to their feelings and understand them as if they were real people. They've had a large impact on me, especially Joe. Therefore, when something bad happens to the characters I felt way more sad than with any other anime since they feel so real to me. And when something happens they don't just get over it in a short time which makes it more realistic.
I really like the art. I think it fits and if you're prepared for it to look a bit old then I hope you can feel the same way. Just know that it's not gonna look the way anime look now days, so please don't expect that.
So in conclusion. I think that Ashita no Joe is a masterpiece that everyone should watch (and read). Out of everything I have ever watched and read, this is the best piece of fiction I have come across. I hope you will enjoy it as much as I did.
