Steel Ball Run Anime Might Be Announced In 2025
While the description is vague, it is worth noting that Viz Media has already announced that it would be releasing the Englishversion of Steel Ball Run in 2025. This lends further credence to the possibility of Steel Ball Run anime being announced at the event in 2025.
It will be worth seeing if David Production works on the anime alone or if it will collaborate with another studio. Steel Ball Run is different from the other parts in the sense that it focus a lot more on shapes and spin. Therefore, the animators need to work extra hard to successfully capture the thrill in the anime adaptation.
So far, David Production has done a phenomenal job at adapting the manga, giving fans no reason to worry about it. Hopefully, the studio keeps up its standards and delivers a phenomenal anime adaptation of Steel Ball Run.
