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 four new promotional videos for the series on Thursday.
The anime is celebrating the 50th anniversary of the original manga, and it will feature an original story.
The manga inspired multiple TV anime series and anime films, and more recently a live-action film that opened in Japan in 2011 starring Tomohisa Yamashita.
The manga would later influence two generations of sports and shonen manga, including Hajime no Ippo (Fighting Spirit).
