The official social media for the Megalobox series is doing some promotion ahead of its April 5th, 2018 premiere as they’re doing new snippets each day for the next six days. They’re brief, such as this first one that clocks in at 12-seconds, but it also gives us a nicely intense look at one of the fights that are hopefully a staple of the series. The new project is directed by You Moriyama with scripts coming from Katsuhiko Manabe and Kensaku Kojima. It’s being animated at TMS Entertainment.
The Japanese cast includes Yoshimasa Hosoya as Junk Dog, Shiro Saito as Gansaku Nanbu, Nanako Mori as Yukiko Shirato, Michiyo Murase as Sachio, Hiroyuki Kinoshita as Fujimaki, and Hiroyuki Yasumoto as Yuri.
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.
