has mod heard of levius? it looks connected to megalo box, speaking of which there's going to be megalo box 2 apparently
Yes, I have heard of Levius, and began watching it on Netflix a while ago. It wasn't bad and was similar to Megalobox. Levius is its own show, set in its own universe. The only thing that it shares in common with Megalobox is robot arms in boxing, and that's it. They're two completely different shows outside of that aspect.
As for Megalobox 2, that aired in April of last year, and it's called Megalobox 2: Nomad. I enjoyed that season a lot, and it was interesting to see just how different it was from the first season. Give it a watch if you're interested, Anon! :)
Megaloboxing 2 Nomad has the best into of any anime.
As an avid boxer in my spare time, I can attest to fighting sequences. This show has epic animation, great storytelling, a baller soundtrack, and hints of mecha sprinkled throughout. A good few songs are also in Spanish which is nice.
Megalo Box is a beloved anime series that takes place in the world of boxing, belonging to the slice of life and action genre. Directed by Yō Moriyama, the anime first aired in 2018. Delighting its fans with its second season renewal, the anime reappeared as “Megalobox 2: Nomad” and was originally broadcast as 13 episodes on Tokyo MX and BS11 between April 4, 2021 – June 27, 2021. The second season, licensed by Funimation, was created by TMS Entertainment, as was the first season. Touching the audience’s hearts with animes such as Fruits Basket and Dr. Stone, the studio received the third season approval for Dr.Stone. Fans now want the same for Megalo Box. So, will the anime have a third season?1 What is the plotline of MEGALOBOX and – 2: Nomad?2 Will there be a third season of the anime?What is the plotline of MEGALOBOX and – 2: Nomad?Released in 2018, “Megalo Box” emerged to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the “Ashita no Joe” series. As an underground fighter of Megalo Box, a boxing evolution that uses mechanical limbs known as Gear to increase the speed and strength of its users, boxer Joe, who has risen from the underworld, participates in the magnificent tournament “Megalonia”, which decides the top of the fighting game “Megalo Box”.“Nomad: Megalo Box 2” takes place seven years after the previous story and focuses on the story of Joe, who changes his name to “Nomad” and stands in the underground circle again. The main PV revolves around the fierce battle between Joe and the chief. With Joe’s monologue about to act again, this time we witnessed the emergence of new characters announced and old street kids.The Picture: Crunchyroll Collection / YouTube – First Season TrailerWill there be a third season of the anime?The anime’s studio, TMS Entertainment, or manga publisher Kodansha, or any anime-related company, has yet to confirm a third season. Usually, it can take a long time animes to renew, so there is no need to worry about this yet; there is no cancellation as well. TMS Entertainment is a successful studio that gets confirmation for new seasons of many animes and can produce many animes simultaneously. Only a small part of the animes finds the opportunity for the new season. Megalo Box was the one this animes which get this opportunity. The decision committee usually bases on some key factors to renew the anime. The most important ones are manga source material availability, popularity, and disc sales. We speculated about the third season of the anime as there is no official data yet.In general, MEGALOBOX 2 Nomad was an original anime, only a small part of it was based on the ‘Ashita no Joe‘ manga. Although the anime is not directly related to the first season, it appeared to the audience as a sequel to the story. The story doesn’t leave many open doors in the second season, it had a satisfying ending overall, but still, a third season is not impossible from a story point of view. A third season of the anime can be scripted independently of the manga if the producers want.The second season of the anime seems to have kept the success of the first season overall, and the reviews are not bad at all. But the most important thing is popularity. MEGALOBOX has an average search volume on Google currently. On the other hand, disc sales were quite low in the first season (around 300 in volume average). Despite this, it was confirmed for a second season. We think that the first season is aired by Netflix USA, providing extra revenue for the anime. However, the second season has not yet been licensed from major distributors such as Amazon, Hulu, or Netflix other than Funimation. The anime is followed by about 13k people on Twitter and has a very low follower count. In light of what is known, a third season of the anime seems quite difficult. This probability will increase if they succeed in disc sales, which will be released on July 28, 2021. Considering the production time, we can see the new season of the anime in 2023, but this is a low probability, in our opinion. Stay tuned for major updates.

RECS: Check Out These 11 Shonen Series Now On Crunchyroll!
You may have noticed recently that the Crunchyroll catalog, a collection that’s like the Library of Congress but for people with really passionate opinions about One Piece, has gotten a bit bigger with the addition of some awesome Funimation titles. Particularly when it comes to the Shonen genre. Now, these titles have been released in waves, so it might be a little hard to keep up with all the major series you need to check out, so here are a few of the important ones that should keep your blood pumping and your friendships strong.
First off, we have Dragon Ball, Dragon Ball Z, and Dragon Ball GT. Without them, the entire shonen genre likely wouldn't look the same, and to this day, Goku’s constant quest to get stronger remains an exciting journey. Start from the beginning if you want to watch the aims of a franchise evolve, or just jump to Z to recapture the Toonami glory that had everyone in your middle school losing their minds back in 2000. Or, if you’re feeling daring, roll the dice on GT. It’s a fun time!
If you’ve had your fill of the Z Fighters and are looking for something a bit more emotionally complicated, check out my favorite anime Yu Yu Hakusho. Not only will you be introduced to anime's BEST OF ALL TIME boy Kuwabara, but you’ll be thrilled by Yusuke Urameshi’s struggle to balance his inner drive for violence with his humanity. Everyone who’s told you that the Dark Tournament is one of the best anime tournament arcs ever is a good friend.
If you liked Yu Yu Hakusho’s empathetic approach to warriors but want something more modern, we have MEGALOBOX 2: NOMAD. It provides a treatise on age and loss that might be a bit surprising for those expecting something more like the first season, but there’s a reason it was one of the most acclaimed shows of 2021. Another series that earned rave reviews from around the same time was SSSS.DYNAZENON, Studio Trigger’s follow-up to the fantastic SSSS.GRIDMAN. Once again a love letter to tokusatsu, there’s enough Robot vs Kaiju action to keep you satisfied with a helping of the intrigue that you’d expect based on the prior series. Get in on the GRIDMAN universe, before the movie comes out!
Then we have Assassination Classroom, a series that contains all the action you’d expect from such an eye-catching title mixed with an array of science fiction reveals. If you want something a bit more down-to-earth but with characters still aiming to be the best, check out The Prince of Tennis. You get to watch arrogant prodigy Ryoma emotionally grow and re-learn exactly why he loves his chosen sport, which is pretty pleasant.
Speaking of growing as a person, or as a blend between a demon and a person, there’s Kemono Jihen. It’s a fairly underrated series with some lovely bits of animation and a nice “found family” theme. If you like the paranormal, then why not Muhyo & Roji’s Bureau of Supernatural Investigation. Crunchyroll recently got Season 2, so if you devoured the first season, get ready for even more laying down of the most integral kind of law: Ghost law.
Finally, there is The World Ends With You: The Animation. Based on the now cult classic Nintendo DS game, if you miss the feeling of having a copy in a 2007 GameStop and knowing you were about to buy a way better game than anyone else in the store, check out the adaptation.
So, what are you waiting for? Go watch upstart people try to be the greatest at, well, whatever they like doing. And if shonen anime is not your thing for some bizarre reason, check out 8 Of The Best Fantasy Anime Brought Over From Funimation. There’s also sports anime and just good anime in general. The point is, we have a lot of new and classic anime for you to check out and you’re wasting time getting to the end of this sentence instead of just clicking on that Yu Yu Hakusho link already.
