10 Great Anime For People Who Hate Anime
7. Megalobox
Rocky who?
In a futuristic fighting tournament, an underground boxer tries to make a big enough name for himself to take on the champion in the big leagues.
Megalobox is an underdog story for the ages. Protagonist Joe is sympathetic from the start, as his desperation and hunger for more than just the rotten lemons life has given him makes him feel grounded and relatable. His character highlights part of what makes the series so great, which is that the entire thing, despite all the futuristic technology, feels true to life.
We are Joe, and the world he inhabits is our own.
The other huge thing that makes this anime so incredible is its style. The slick, fluid animation works intended with a hip hop infused rhythm that permeates throughout.
Like many others on this list, Megalobox is a one-of-a-kind show you don't want to miss.
