Created as a tribute to the OG "Ashita no Joe" and released on its 50th anniversary, "Megalo Box" is a hard hitting sports anime that brings a fresh intensity to boxing while keeping it as realistic as possible. If the brutality of boxing isn't enough for you, how 'bout we strap on some robotic exo-suits and see what happens. Oh, and sprinkle in some very realistic corruption, fixed fights, money hungry gangsters, and an underground Hip-Hop inspired soundtrack.

Needless to say, we very much enjoyed this anime! The opening and closing sequences were awesome and we liked the OST despite how harsh we were with some of our critiques. We just saw a lot of untapped potential.

Anyway, enjoy the show! Happy St. Patty's Day!!

P.S. The 2nd season of Megalo Box called "Nomad" comes out in just a couple weeks!
