Not only is it very thought-provoking, it also looks and sounds incredible, with an audiovisual experience that always had me paying attention and sometimes on the edge of my seat. The directing is phenomenal in really setting the atmosphere and the eerie tone in the more important scenes, but also can change into a very light tone in more comedic scenes. The backgrounds show us the backdrop of urban decay, rather than just flat out telling us. The soundtrack contributes to the atmosphere a lot too, as Kensuke Ushio, who composed music for anime like Chainsaw Man, A Silent Voice, and The Dangers in My Heart, did a great job yet again here to convey the occasional emotional gut punch, or to get us even more uncomfortable in a horrifying sequence. Everything about the production overall was at a very high level, and after seeing the staff behind it, I can see why. It was truly a legendary team of people producing a passion project from start to finish, with the art director Yuji Kaneko, numerous elite episode directors and storyboarders in Haruka Fujita, in which it’s her first work outside of Kyoto Animation, Kai Ikarashi, who worked on Cyberpunk: Edgerunners as well as the Turning Point episode of Mushoku Tensei, and also Toshimasa Ishii, who directed 86: Eighty-Six. I would also love to shout out Hirotaka Mori, since it was his directorial debut in the anime sphere.
The characters were quite a strong part of the series as well, with Kiruko and Maru’s relationship and chemistry being quite the highlight of the show. The dialogue between them felt quite natural and organic, like bros just having a great time together, rather than forcing romance into the dynamic in a contrived manner. That said, as this show has quite a focus on human nature, there is an element of romance there, but it’s more that the show tries to explore human emotions, sexuality, and gender, so how the relationship is handled is quite natural and interesting to watch.
At the gym, he managed to get Teru to draw a picture of Taihei, which looked almost identical to him in stark contrast to Takamura's attempt to draw Umezawa. This would be short-lived as Teru, comically, had no punching power whatsoever. Afterwards, Ippo took Teru to Umezawa, where Teru would meet Umezawa and become his assistant. Ippo went to the Kōrakuen Hall to watch Miyata's eighth OPBF featherweight title defence match. During the fight, he met Imai, who believed that Miyata is not fit to be a pro due to Miyata's poor performance. Ippo was shocked when he heard Imai state that the reason for Miyata's struggle is because Ippo is no longer boxing. Ippo was happy seeing Miyata win the decision, Imai, however, told Ippo that that was not the state that he wants to fight Miyata in and for Ippo to take responsibility for his actions. Ippo and Kamogawa mitt training. While fishing with Kumi, Ippo explained how seeing Miyata fight, he became just another cheering fan, despite Kumi's previous beliefs of Miyata taking Ippo back to boxing. Later, Ippo was asked by Taihei to teach him how to box. At first, Ippo denied Taihei his request but then forced him to perform several tasks such as apologising to Teru and vowing to never use his fists for violence again.
