Chikara Sakuma is handling the art for the adaptation.
The futuristic boxing story—which follows a boxer named J.D. (“Junk Dog”) as he descends into the undergrond, prosthetic-powered world of Megalo Box—is also getting a manga adaptation next month.
Yesterday we posted a pretty awesome trailer for the Megalo Box anime, which is coming out this April to help celebrate the 50th anniversary of Ikki Kajiwara and Tetsuya Chiba’s classic Ashita no Joe manga.
