Netflix has finally announced the release date for JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure: Steel Ball Run. An anime version of Steel Ball Run was already confirmed to be in the works, and given how much fans love the story, the news is incredibly exciting.
After years of anticipation, the anime adaptation of Steel Ball Run has been officially confirmed! It will premiere on Netflix on March 19, 2026. While details are still limited, both longtime JoJo fans and newcomers have a lot to look forward to.
Everything We Know About JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure: Steel Ball Run’s Anime
Currently, the most important news about the Steel Ball Run anime is its premiere date: March 19, 2026. Because this falls during the Winter 2025 anime season, many fans believe it will be released in batches, similar to how Stone Ocean was released.
The trailer revealed that the first episode, titled “1st Stage,” will debut on March 19 and run for 47 minutes. This suggests the initial story arc might be presented as a special introduction before the full anime series begins. While this is just an educated guess, we can expect more information to be released shortly.
Hopefully, Steel Ball Run will be released week by week, rather than all at once. While Netflix often releases anime episodes in batches, this approach didn’t work well for shows like Stone Ocean. However, series like Sakamoto Days and The Summer Hikaru Died were very successful when released weekly, so it’s hoped Steel Ball Run will follow that model.
Why JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure: Steel Ball Run’s Anime Is So Exciting
The Steel Ball Run anime has the potential to be the strongest adaptation so far, and it’s clear why. The story is more mature and dramatic, but still includes plenty of humor. Many fans consider it to have the best character development in the entire series, particularly with Johnny’s storyline being a major standout.
The artwork beautifully matches the story, as Steel Ball Run is where Hirohiko Araki’s art style really became stunning. The trailer suggests the anime adaptation is almost perfectly capturing that art, and even improving it with impressive animation and the vibrant color changes the anime is famous for.
Widely considered a highlight of the JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure series due to its strong story and stunning artwork, JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure: Steel Ball Run looks set to become even more impressive in its upcoming anime adaptation. The new trailer suggests fans can expect this when it premieres on Netflix this March.
