Tomorrow's Joe will never be yesterday's Joe

I like how this video and the Aikatsu one feel a lot more casual than your usual work, good stuff!

I knew it was Bakuman just from the thumbnail. What a hype train of a manga

Joe mama

Who wouldn't reference the greatest anime of all time

my boy joe ashita

You reminded my of how much I want to reread Ashita no Joe. (Though not for a while. Currently watching Hajime no Ippo for the first time. Been pretty fun. Always want to lift weights and shadow box while watching it.)

Ashita No Joe is the best anime

But to leave a more substantial, yet controversial comment - it is funny how Joe's ending, its beautiful tragedy, was realised in a meta sense - with all the manga and anime trying to "depict the tommorow", to live past the "beautiful death" - and they all fail, misunderstand or ironically show why Joe in a twisted way wished to die: Like one of your reference examples is a literal pedo vampire show - are these flames worth blazing on, or should they turn to ash in the rays of tommorow like the demonic ghouls they are? Joe a show with basically no fanservice, yet all the succesor seemed to go more and more into it, till people did start to develope fetishes that are to weird to describe, as anyone on the internet is sadly aware of... But even without being a prude (I wish I was...) - even the other references seem to fail, to just be pale imitations, member berries and simulacra - hell even 20th century boys, a decent manga I admit, kinda had the feeling of trying yet only mimicking the real thing Joe touched. And the final Joe-ke is that Joe, a story that actually showed the consequences of self destructive pursuits, got its message sanitized into "just work yourself to death cause you are the mc and all the consequences will go away!!!" - instead of being a resignation of sacrificing oneself to reach meaning, even for a moment, it got twisted by modern anime into just being capitalistic propoganda to work some bullshit job forever... The point of Tommorows Joe was, that sadly, atleast in Japan, there really wasnt an tommorow for the average Joe, just existing in the shadows, as shown by the other prison inmates at the end resigning themselves to mediocrity. And to get back to my point of Joe being the best anime - it is it just for the fact that it raised a question no othet following show could ever satisfyihgly answer Oh also because the OST with all the little embelishment was cool😂

magipoka mid is definitely the worst take from this video
