Based on the popular boxing manga by Tetsuya Chiba and Asao Takamori which ran from 1968-1973, Tomorrow’s Joe was an anime series in the 1970s about a troubled orphan named Joe Yabuki who works his way up the ranks from nothing until he gets a shot to battle the world champ. This 1980 movie was a shortened version of the series which was meant to get viewers up to speed before the series “Ashita no Joe 2” began airing.
