The new anime celebrating the 50th Anniversary of Ashita no Joe got off to a roaring start last week. Some anime fans are already declaring it the surprise hit of the stacked Spring 2018 anime season. Though that may be a bit premature, there's likely a sizable contingent of anime viewers that are keenly interested on the anime's blu-ray plans.
New reports indicate that the TV anime's home video release will be split into 3 volumes, with each containing an original anime short.
The first volume will contain a short titled Before the Round 1, which depicts events that occur prior to the anime's first episode. The second volume will have a short titled After the Round Final, which is set after the anime's 13th episode. What will be contained on the third volume is currently a mystery.
Currently, the release date for each of the three volumes are July 27, September 26 and November 22.
