Ashita no Joe is one of the most iconic stories in Anime history that has spanned 50 years.
It is a singular honor and privilege to lace up the boots of "Gearless" Joe in the special 50th Anniversary Ashita no Joe project, #MegaloBox.

MegaloBox will join the better cartoon show beginning December 8 at Midnight EST, taking over Attack on Titan’s spot in the schedule as the latter show is in its off-season, although the first two episodes of season 3 will be re-run at its spot before moving down to 2am upon Megalobox’s arrival.
