JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure is perhaps one of the most famous of Shonen Jump’s titles in the world right now. Seriously, it’s hard to find someone who hasn’t at least heard of the manga by Hirohiko Araki and/or the anime from studio david production. The sheer length of the manga (currently at a whopping 136 volumes long and counting) combined with the critical acclaim heaped upon it and its anime adaptation have only ensure that they have both entered the mainstream consciousness. Thus, it makes any news about the upcoming anime adaptation of the STEEL BALL RUN arc all the more hype-worthy. Including this bit of news.
Netflix is proud to announce that they will be streaming STEEL BALL RUN JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure when it finally arrives on the global stage. And when will that be, you might ask? Alas, that’s still in the works. We only have a “Coming Soon” from Netflix, and that’s it as far as a release window.
However, we do have a couple things from Netflix to tease the upcoming STEEL BALL RUN JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure. The first is the production credits, and the second is a new teaser art. You can check out both below:

STEEL BALL RUN JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure Racing into Netflix
Honestly, STEEL BALL RUN will probably be of great interest to a number of fans, not just fans of JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure. Fans of Wild West stories, racing, or even just horses will find this upcoming arc of great interest. I mean it. This latest arc will feature a trans-continental horse race across North America, with the prize being a whopping $50 million USD. And do note: this arc takes place in the 19th century, so that amount is even higher than it already sounds by today’s money. Alas, all we can do is wait for Netflix to give us a release date. Welp, might as well watch (or re-watch) the anime on Netflix in the meantime.
