Why Everyone Needs To Be Excited About Steel Ball Run
Steel Ball Run is already getting a lot of hype, and it’s easy to see why. While JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure has always had great artwork, Steel Ball Run is often seen as the point when the artwork truly became gorgeous, thanks to the extensive detail and realism put into every chapter.

Not only is the writing far more serious while still having plenty of levity, but JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure: Steel Ball Run is often seen as having the best character writing of any installment of JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure, with Johnny Joestar’s arc of becoming a better person one of the biggest highlights of the entire franchise. JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure: Steel Ball Runhas done a lot to endear itself to fans, and with Hirohiko Araki and others hyping it up, there’s little reason not to be excited.
