  • Wow, I never heard about that. Sometimes I forget that Japan had a lot of radical movements when Ashita no Joe was running.

    As for the Ashita no Joe itself, I'd definitely recommend it. I don't think there's anything explicitly left wing about it, but it's more frank about its depiction of both poverty and boxing than most sports manga I've seen (which admittedly, isn't a lot).


  • Maybe it's nostalgia, but I agree that it was a sweet spot for game development. Developers and artists were more confident with making games in 3d, and they could do it cheaply enough that even big companies would publish pretty experimental games.

    Then the shift to HD happened a budgets and dev times skyrocketed, leading to the dreaded Brown and Bloom "Realistic" Third-Person Shooter with a bald protagonist.
