The official website for Megalobox, a new television anime based on Ikki Kajiwara (pen name Asao Takamori) and Tetsuya Chiba’s Ashita no Joe manga, began streaming the first few minutes of the show’s first episode on Friday.
The anime is celebrating the 50th anniversary of the original manga, and it will feature an original story.
The manga inspired multiple television anime series and anime films, and more recently a live-action film that opened in Japan in 2011 starring Tomohisa Yamashita.
The anime will premiere on TBS on April 5 at 25:28 (effectively April 6 at 1:28 a.m.), before later airing on BS-TBS on April 14.
