Anime leaker and X-user @SugoiLITE has often been correct in the past with his advance information about anime adaptations. Accordingly, the insider's information about the Steel Ball Run adaptation is also interesting this time: On December 12, 2024, SugoiLITE published an article about the anime adaptation of the seventh arc and announced that the series is already in production and from the Japanese animation studio David Production is animated.

If you believe the user, production of the series only started recently. It is important to note that SugoiLITE's tweet was published a day before the official announcement of Jojoday. So it's another indication that David Productions and Warner Bros. might actually be working on the anime adaptation. However, as always, you should treat the leak with caution.
Worries about the Steel Ball Run anime adaptation
Although fans in the two posts are extremely happy about the possible anime adaptation, many have alreadymonths agoDoubts and concerns were expressed about the implementation of Steel Ball Run.
There, fans spoke about the annoying, irregular release rhythm of Stone Ocean on Netflix and the unnecessary use of 3D CGI, which made many moments appear stiff and unnatural. The same concerns also apply to a possible Steel Ball Run adaptation and fans are hoping that the studio will take more time for animation when implementing the seventh part of Araki's work.
Ultimately, we'll have to wait for an official announcement before we know if and when a Steel Ball Run anime series will be released. Until then, we can only hope that the leaks are correct and that David Productions has enough time and employees to do justice to the seventh part of Hirohiko Araki's manga, which is loved by fans.
