Creed3 is hugely inspired by anime, and with help from Crunchyroll, we list some of the ones that helped shape MichaelBJordan's epic boxing sequel.
If you’ve seen director Michael B. Jordan talk about Creed III, it’s likely you’ve seen him discuss the enormous influence that anime had on his vision for the movie. And, if you’ve seen Creed III, you know that he wasn’t just making that talking point up. From the movie’s very first moments through the end of its climactic fight, Jordan was clearly influenced by the world of anime.
