Will Part 7 Of Jojo Be Animated
Okay, JoJo fans, let's talk about the elephant in the room, or rather, the Steel Ball Run in the arena: Will Part 7 of JoJo's Bizarre Adventure ever grace our screens in glorious animated form?
It's the question that keeps us up at night, right after "Did Josuke ever fix that broken sign?" and "How does Rohan afford all those designer clothes?". Let's dive in!
The Long and Winding Road
Animating JoJo is no small feat. Each part is a unique beast, with its own style, stand battles, and let's be honest, increasingly wild hairstyles.
Must Read
Part 7, Steel Ball Run, however, is a whole other level of ambitious. Imagine horses, not just standing still, but galloping across vast American landscapes, with dynamic action sequences.
Suddenly, animating a bunch of guys posing menacingly feels a lot easier, doesn't it?
Why the Hold Up?
The sheer scale of Steel Ball Run is likely a major factor. We are talking about a cross-country race, with intricate stand battles happening on horseback. That's a lot of animation, folks.
Think of all the sand! Imagine the number of animators pulling their hair out trying to get the dust effects just right. Yikes.
Another hurdle is the story itself. Steel Ball Run is a soft reboot of sorts, taking place in an alternate universe. It has echoes of earlier parts, but with a fresh, arguably darker tone.
Some argue that this shift in tone might give pause to the animation studio, David Production. Can they capture the essence of Steel Ball Run while staying true to the spirit of JoJo?
Reasons to Be Optimistic
Despite the challenges, there's plenty of reason to be hopeful. David Production has proven time and time again that they're up to the task of adapting JoJo's bizarre world.
Think about the stunning visuals of Golden Wind, the emotional depth of Stone Ocean, and the sheer audacity of Diamond is Unbreakable. They haven't shied away from challenges before.
Plus, the demand is HUGE. The JoJo fanbase is a passionate bunch, and we've made it clear that we desperately want to see Johnny Joestar and Gyro Zeppeli on our screens.
Let's be real, the internet would probably explode if they announced Steel Ball Run was in production. The memes alone would be legendary.
The Verdict (Maybe?)
So, will Steel Ball Run get animated? There's no official confirmation yet, but the evidence suggests it's more a matter of "when" than "if".
David Production has consistently adapted JoJo parts in order. The manga is a critical darling, and it would be financial suicide to not adapt Part 7.
Just imagine the opening theme! The stand battles! The touching bromance between Johnny and Gyro! Okay, maybe it's a very intense friendship.
"Arigato... Gyro..."
So, keep your eyes peeled, JoJo fans. The day Steel Ball Run gets animated might be closer than you think. And when it does, get ready for a wild ride across America, filled with horses, stands, and enough bizarre adventures to make your head spin.
In the meantime, maybe start practicing your "Arigato, Gyro..." just in case.
