It'd got the best dirty old school art. Sound track is amazing. I think the plot is accidentally genius. The politics are amazingly good for anime. Now they are making a new one that looks to be even more nuanced and thoughtful and I am excited.

The plot is good also. I think just there are a lot of little details that work in ways I dont think they ment to. Like how gear rigs are just hyped up safety devices that don't really make you a better boxer, and also couldn't make you a better boxer is amazing to me. I can't tell if it is subtext, or they just accidentally got that part right cause it would be the most dramatic.
