New Ring ni Kakero anime premieres on April 2011

It's great to hear that Masami Kurumada's works are still making it into this media. Despite being known mostly for Saint Seiya, this author should be recognized also for B'tX and Ring ni Kakero.

Ring ni Kakero is a classic boxing anime series, whose protagonist is eerily similar to Seiya, Ryuji Takane, a young boy who looks to enter in the world junior boxing championship. But's it a story that has the trademark inspirational theme of this author.

Toei Animation company just launched a website for Ring ni Kakero 1: Sekai Taikai-hen, and it will premiere next April on Japan's Animax channel.

As a sidenote, series script supervisor Yousuke Kuroda, character designers Michi Himeno and Shingo Araki, and musical composer Susumu Ueda are reprising their respective roles from the previous anime series. However, Hiroshi Ikehata is the new director, and Keiichi Ichikawa is co-designing the characters in addition the overseeing to animation process.
