***G R A I N B L E S S*** What do you get when you combine lots of film grain and one of the longest anime films ever made? This apparently. The 1980 Ashita no Joe movie is a severely abridged retelling of roughly the first 53 episodes of the 1970 television series crammed into two-and-a-half-hours of movie directed at people who had not seen the original series, with several story edits and some new music. This release contains the Discotek translation with not much effort put in (about as much as this movie deserves honestly), *some* typesetting, and the Tai Seng dub as well (which quite frankly, is terrible). Good god this movie is long.
