The reveal this past fall that the Ashita no Joe property has a new project in the works for the spring 2018 season with Megalobox was pretty exciting for fans of it. With it focusing on being part of the 50th-anniversary celebration it’s definitely a welcome new piece to have. TMS Entertainment doesn’t have anything new to show per se for the project but they have a lengthy new promotional video that showcases the original manga and past anime works to remind people of the history of it all.
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.
