Beautiful.. Ashita no joe 1 and 2 are a pure and unadulterated story about both passion and the human experience both at its worst and best. no filler and uses every second it has to develop itself the show also ends at a perfect point doesn't overstay its welcome or drag endlessly like other popular anime while still packing a mayor emotional punch with out having years of nostalgia to weaponize. The characters also feel very human no one is perfect everyone has a goal they try to achieve and sometimes those goals change or warp into something else but no character is purposely left ina limbo or development for the sake of the plot. gonna miss this story..
