One of the better anime released last year (if not the entire decade) was TMS Entertainment's Megalobox. The series seemingly came out of nowhere and put a stranglehold on the entire Spring 2018 anime season, dominating the conversation. As it was a special project to commemorate the 50th anniversary of Ashita no Joe, most fans never imagined a sequel would happen. You can watch the teaser released at Anime NYC courtesy of TMS Entertainment's official Twitter account.
Megalobox drew inspiration from the original 1968 manga
Ashita no Joe from Ikki Kajiwara and Tetsuya Chiba but will modernized the tale with a futuristic setting and robotic boxing gear.
