Steel Ball Run: Can it Hit the 9.0 Club?
With the adaptation of *Steel Ball Run* officially on the horizon for 2026, hype is at an all-time high. Part 7 is widely considered the manga's masterpiece. This prediction asks if the anime's first season will hold a score of 9.0 or higher on MyAnimeList after airing.
The Burden of Expectations
The majority 'Yes' vote reflects the source material's legendary status; it is currently the second highest-rated manga of all time on MAL. However, the risk lies in the executionâspecifically the animation of the horses, which are central to the plot. If the studio relies heavily on poor CGI for the races, the score could plummet. If the adaptation quality matches *Golden Wind*, a 9.0+ score is highly probable.
