I was wondering why there's an _Ashita no Joe_ English dubbed commercial but
no dubbed anime since there was a commercial saying it was coming to English
dubbed. I'd think there was one, but there isn't.

Why is it still not available? Or if there is one, where can I find it?

What happened to the English dub of Ashita no Joe?


Here's the story:

On August 13, 2017, [Anime News Network
announced](https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2017-08-13/discotek-licenses-
cyborg-009-the-cyborg-soldier-tomorrow-joe-project-arms-niea_7-lupin-iii-the-
legend-of-the-gold-of-babylon/.120065) that Discotek had licensed, among other
things, the 1980 film Ashita no Joe (aka Tomorrow's Joe) and would be
releasing it on Blu-ray and DVD in Japanese with English subs and in English.
The English dub would be from the 2008 DVD release of the film by Tai Seng.

Somewhat confusingly, the Discotek website doesn't have anything more recent
than 2015. However, their FB page talks about the release being on [March 27,
2018.](https://www.facebook.com/Discotekmedia/photos/coming-
march-27th-2018-tomorrow's/1954255051270246/)

This new release can be found on places like
[Amazon](https://rads.stackoverflow.com/amzn/click/B079J85639) and [Blu-
ray.com](http://www.blu-ray.com/movies/Tomorrows-Joe-The-Movie-Blu-
ray/198537/). As for the Tai Seng version, I can't find any instances of the
DVD on the internet, but I admittedly didn't search all that hard. If you're
really determined to find that version ([of which the quality apparently
wasn't great](https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/buried-
treasure/2008-11-13/ashita-no-joe?ann-edition=uk)), you can probably find it
if you search hard enough.
