Ever since it was announced last spring that the Ashita no Joe property had a new project in the works for the spring 2018 season with Megalobox, we’d gotten some curious promotional pieces for it but not much that really gave us a good look at what to expect.
That’s now changed with a new 73-second trailer for it that showcases the action and design work in a really good way that gives this a high end feeling that could easily make its way overseas to draw in an international audience.
The new project is directed by You Moriyama with scripts coming from Katsuhiko Manabe and Kensaku Kojima. It’s being animated at TMS Entertainment.
Plot Concept: A man called JD (Junk Dog) participates in fixed boxing matches in an underground ring in order to live. Today, he enters the ring again, but he encounters a certain person. JD wants to take on a challenge that risks everything.
