W brooo

Thanks for this fr Anj really needs recognition

Great video man 🫡✌️ I just started watching Ashita no Joe recently and yeah now I really understand why it inspired entire generations... Also Rikishi is such a good written rival man... it's hard to beat that with modern day anime. Ashita no Joe, just like Hajime no Ippo, gives me that inspiration to train hard and give my best in everyday life... I just love anime that has this effect on people 💪✊

Anyone here from 20th Century Boys?

ashita no joe is so good

Greatest anime protagonist of all time

Peak video

incredible video <3 ashita no joe is really an emotional anime, from rivalries, slice of life, to living your life with your own ways, for a better tomorrow like danpei always says

fantastic. always love a good breakdown of this incredible story. needs much more attention in the west. wild how well Joe's character has aged, a lot of his characterization is still subversive by todays standards.

Hey joe! I remember

I remember you

Tnx for the presentation of the historical aspect of Ashita no Joe's impact.

Otomo is such a good illustrator. Akira is such a good story and the movie is iconic, so his skills as an illustrator are underrated. His drawing skills are at the level of people like Kentaro miura. Tetsuo is a pretty deep and relatable character in some ways. I think his insecurity is a pretty realistic thing for most of us. Kaneda is such a good foil for him because kaneda symbolizes being above insecurity and believing in yourself no matter what kind of obstacles society puts in your way. He’s an embodiment of the rebellious spirit. I find kaneda to be one of the most inspirational characters of all time. Tetsuo and kaneda’s rivalry is one of the best anime rivalries and it’s often underrated. I feel like kaneda and tetsuo were an inspiration for goku and vegeta, especially because dbz became more sci-if than the earlier parts of the story when vegeta was introduced. Tetsuo always reminded me of vegeta because of how he looked when his hair spiked up but they’re also similar as characters. Both have a strong sense of honor but are cursed by an inferiority complex and they both have a rival that triggers their insecurities. Kaneda is pretty underrated as a protagonist because I consider him up there with the best protagonists of all time. He’s so charismatic and cool and he’s also very funny. He’s not some super smart or super powerful hero or anything but he’s an everyman and he possesses the best traits a regular person can have. More people should get into the manga because the movie is such a small part of the whole thing.

I like how gritty the aesthetic of the manga/anime is. It’s realistic in a depressing way. It’s a weird mix of tezuka’s cartoon style and the blues. A lot of people watch anime or drown themselves in entertainment just to escape but this show gives you reality in the most up-front and rawest way possible, holding nothing back. It manages to do all of that while not coming across totally bleak and hopeless, it always makes me feel good.

👍

Kaneda is charismatic? He is an ass like everyone else.

This was an excellent breakdown of the film! Great work! 🔥

Brilliant presentation, thank you

Thought it said fursuit of power Imagine tho- fallout powerarmor but furry shaped

Anyone know what song is playing over the 'Power Corrupts' segment?

Fantastic academic work. Great essay.

Thoughtful work Ulixes! Your writing is notably smooth, as if you painstakingly wrestled with each syllable. Good job man. Really. Thanks for putting effort into your work, it’s not unnoticed. (Popped up on my YT suggestions alongside the usual tennis highlights and ski clips… glad it did) -your work reached the High Rockies. (Vail, CO)

another banger video bro, im loving this!

Brilliant work!

i finally understand. Tetsuos transfiguration into that mammoth of a meat baby could be in relation to gaining too much power then realizing the consequences of it until the end. Having that in comparison with the nuclear bomb really makes sense to me. I love akira man

It is well established that absolute power corrupts absolutely. We tend to forget, that so too does absolute powerlessness. #livewithoutfear

The absolute center of this film is the friendship between Kaneda and Tetsuo. The essence of the dichotomy between Kaneda and Tetsuo is Tetsuo is naturally timid, careful, and intoverted where Kaneda is bold, reckless, and extraverted. They are opposites, but Kaneda is kid-hearted and saves Tetsuo from harm when they first meet. He is a natural leader. Tetsuo sees this and resents him and the care Kaneda shows him. He is perpetually emasculated by Kaneda, though Kaneda only is doing what he knows how to do. Knowledge of this does not stand in the way of Tetsuo's resentment. He attempts to make up for it with skill and sneakiness, but this only gets him in trouble. Tetsuo's deficit can be summed up in his inability to "corner" when turning a bike at high speeds. To do this, you have to get a "feel" for the way the tires "bite" into the asphalt. This cannot happen at low speeds. The forces are not great enough. To learn this, you must be willing to push the limits of your physical body and you must do away with your fear. If you succumb to your fear, you will try to slow the bike down as you enter the curve or else nit lean the bike over as much. Both of these lead to disaster as you will either flop over because the centripital force is not great enough to keep you above the ground, or you will rely upon your mechanical turning of the wheel to shift direction, which encourages incorrect balances on the bike resulting in an incomplete turn. When Tetsuo gains access to great power, he believes he has all he needs to best Kaneda, but he is still missing that crucial element. Just as cornering on the bike requires a kind of "surrender" to the energies and forces at play, the power of Akira requires the same. This is the same power that allows an artist to make fine art, an engineer to build a city, or ateam of artists to make a dazzling film. For this reason, the film is aesthetically complete. It shows within its core that which is on its surface. Note that this power is also destructive. It allows for military mastery of a populus through manipulation and weaponry, holding institutional (political, religious, or educational) sway over a people, or using drugs to "ride a high", to say nothing of sex. Though the film is clearly science fiction with a substantial sprinkling of body horror, we are all aware of how these forces come into play as we master or fail to master the changes that come over our bodies during adolescence, and later our minds as we enter adulthood. Mankind stretches with every passing age slightly nearer to the sky as we approach our ultimste powers. No one can say if when that happens we will have prepared ourselves through diligent meditation and caring for our fellow creatures or if when this power is granted it will find us grasping at nothing, scrambling wildly towards apocalyptic cataclysm.
