>>965744>Ashita no JoeA classic, think of Rocky but as an orphaned hot headed teen, very manly, great characters, action, story and music. Don't get spoiled!

>One OutsBaseball gambling, similar to Kaiji.
>TakarajimaRetelling of Treasure Island but surprisingly very good for what it is, action, drama, and interesting stakes as the main plot begins to unfold. Very good.
