If you're an anime fan and haven't seen JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure yet, then that might be the next series to dive into. The popular anime follows multiple members of the Joestar family, each sharing the same nickname, as they battle supernatural foes — and it’s kept fans entertained for over a decade now.
The previous and fifth season, which covered the sixth-part of the manga, Stone Ocean, was released worldwide on Netflix and aired its final episode in December 2022. Since then, fans have been eagerly awaiting the next chapter to be animated, and it looks like their prayers have finally been answered.
The seventh part of JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure, titled Steel Ball Run, is finally getting an anime adaptation. The announcement for Season 6 was made on April 12 by Warner Bros. Japan during the JOJODAY STAGE event, confirming that the next installment in the beloved series is officially being adapted into an anime. As one of the most highly-rated parts of the manga, the news has left fans hyped for the new season, and counting down the days until its release.
Hilarious fan reactions
While fans were thrilled about the announcement, many took to the internet to share their hilarious reactions to the next part of the manga finally being animated.
"Steel Ball Run finally in production… so when are we getting a live-action JoJo with Nicolas Cage as Funny Valentine?" a fan asked.
While this fan is hyped about Steel Ball Run finally being in production, it looks like he already has the perfect casting in mind for a live-action adaptation — Nicolas Cage as Funny Valentine. Let’s hope Warner Bros. is taking notes!
"Thought this was Dragon ball. I’m going back to sleep," commented another.
Uh-oh! It seems this user was hoping for an announcement about Dragon Ball Super animating its next arc, and is now heading back to sleep in disappointment. Tough life.

JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure returns for Season 6 before GTA 6 even gets a release date. The joke continues...
"Just what we need, another anime about a dude running from his problems," a user pointed.
Too many anime about characters running from their problems has started to annoy this user. But hey, what story doesn’t have people facing problems?
"I really don’t understand this show but I loved watching it 😂," wrote another.
You know you’ve got a good teaser when even people who haven’t followed the show end up loving it. Well played, Warner Bros. Japan!
After years of waiting, Part 7 of JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure is finally getting animated. With the season expected to release in 2026 or 2027, the countdown has officially begun!
