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 a promotional video for the series on Tuesday.
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 is celebrating the 50th anniversary of the original manga, and it will feature an original story.
Chikara Sakuma launched a manga adaptation of the anime, titled Megalobox – Shukumei no Sōken (Megalobox – The Twin Fists of Fate), in the March issue of Kodansha’s Shonen Magazine Edge magazine on February 17.
