One minute I was doodling flowers, and the next I was writing some quotes that popped into my head. In case you can’t read my writing:

-My nose has smelled foul air, so it’s keener than the rest, bring it on!

-Not Dead Yet…

-Hasta Ver La Luz…

-Get on your feet! Your tomorrow’s coming, Joe!

-I thought that little light inside went out a long time ago…

-Pops… Fight with me by your side, one last time…

-I’d rather be a rabid animal than your piece of meat!

I have rewatched megalobox probably every year since watching it 3 years ago and this is my only question.

Its phenomenal, season 1 alone stands out among a sea of shonen and I was glued, and season 2 is a very different but extremely interesting season, arguably more mature and introspective than s1. I actually started watching season 2 with a friend and another friend started watching with us and I came to the conclusion that starting from s2 and watching s1 after was another valid way of watching the show too.

I guess my question is just, why didn’t it become more popular? Is it because its almost a “sports” anime? Every person I have shown it to has become hooked and recognizes its value.

Why hasnt it taken off like other shows? Even subs like r/blacklagoon are spiritually very similar yet has a bigger following. It was on Adult Swim too, seems like it would have taken off but it didn’t in my understanding.

Any ideas?

Happy National Anime Day! Glad to be a part of this sub!! 😁

Got it from Leather Treaty on Etsy a few years ago, but it looks like the shop is closed down now. I'm sure there's plenty of similar ones tho if any one wants something like this

Which version of the anime do you prefer: English Dub or Sub?

Happy anniversary, Megalobox! 6 years for season 1 and 3 for season 2/Nomad! Let’s celebrate by posting your favorite moments from both seasons, favorite characters, etc!

One of my favorite moments from season 1 was the fight with Glenn Burroughs. I loved seeing Nanbu >!cheer Joe on and tell him to get up on his feet. I also loved seeing the Gear fall off and Joe beat the snot out of Burroughs.!<

One of my favorite moments in season 2 was when Joe began interacting with >!the members of the Casa. I feel like they accepted him into their little family!!<

I feel like people sleep on this show. Enjoy the art, just did this painted for fun it’s 24x30 frame

Thought I'd post my wallpaper here for you all. Since Joe looks so damn cool. It's also dark mode friendly

I think it would be cool to see Joe take on a protege and see the other characters live their lives. I don’t think a romance would work for the season, as it might feel out of place.

What would you guys like to see if there was a third season?

What are your favorite quote(s) from the show? One of moms from season 1 is, “I want to believe… I want to believe that my faith in myself is real.” From season 2, one of my favorites is when Chief said, “You don’t owe me a single thing. We’re family. It’s what we do.”

I'm a megalo box fan. Just wanted to ask what was the song that was playing in season 2 episode 11 when joe was telling the team nowhere what he was up to after nonbu death.

Besides his trauma and drug abuse do you think he also a bit punch drunk since if i remember correctly he showed some symptoms of punch drunkness.

I was just watching the TV show, The OC with the wife, and I heard what sounded almost exactly like the theme of sachio. Shazamed it, and it was a song called "Lover I Don't Have to Love" by the Bright Eyes, but a cover done by Bettie Serveert. This song came out WAY before Megalobox did.

I'll put some timestamped youtube links here, you tell me your thoughts....

The Theme of Sachio

Lover I Don't Have to Love (Bright Eyes)

Lover I Don't Have to Love (Bettie Salveert)

What do you think would happen ? How do you think it would go ?

I was posponing some university essays, and than I asked my self why are the Gears in megalobox called Gears? I thought about the word and the first thing that came to mind were mechanical gears and than roids. As a non native english speaker I just recentlly came in contact with the term "gear" used commonlly for steroids in the US. Well that "discovery" made me ask myself if using the word gear in megalobox was some kind of veiled criticism to the use of enhancers in the current boxing and over all sports scene. I was just curious to know if that thought passed to someone elses minds.

if anyone knows why are they actually called Gears I would love to know.

A couple places online are carrying the Junk Dog costume now. Was wondering if anyone who already has one could recommend a good one?

Where does the dog symbol actually come from? I can't remember seeing this specific art in the show and I've scrolled through but do not see it. I recognize the relation between Junk dog and all the allegories about stray dogs, but is this artwork present in the show or was it created by fans and popularized?
