JoJo's Bizarre Adventure has taken Western audiences by storm. With the manga finally receiving a true anime adaption in 2012, the series finally acquired its full popularity potential.
The JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure Part 6 release date has officially been confirmed… and it’s coming to Netflix first! The JoJo Part 6 release date on Netflix is set for December 1, 2021. There will be 12 episodes released all at once for that date.
The story of the Joestar family, who are possessed with intense psychic strength, and the adventures each member encounters throughout their lives. Chronicles the struggles of the cursed Joestar bloodline against the forces of evil.
JoJo's Bizarre Adventure is well-known for its art style and poses; frequent references to Western popular music and fashion; and battles centered around Stands, psycho-spiritual manifestations with unique supernatural abilities.
From unique character designs to constant tonal shifts to great music, JoJo's Bizarre Adventure is widely regarded as one of the best anime ever. Hirohiko Araki's JoJo's Bizarre Adventure has kept audiences entertained for 35 years and it's earned its spot in the pantheon of essential anime series.
JoJo's Bizarre Adventure is an anime series based on the manga of the same name by Hirohiko Araki. The series began in 1987 in Weekly Shonen Jump and is still running in the monthly seinen publication Ultra Jump.
Part of the reason is the manga's ability to continually reinvent itself. Where other manga and comic book stories might limit themselves to following a single character or team of heroes, JoJo's Bizarre Adventure follows the exploits of several generations of the Joestar family.
Whether intentionally or not, JoJo's Bizarre Adventure is home to some outstanding - and outlandish - comedy. The unhinged premise of the series means that it can deliver moments of comedic alleviation with ease, all the while taking itself seriously.
Something extremely unique about JoJo's Bizarre Adventure is the playful way in which it shows that some of the heroes and villains' Stands are so powerful that they literally alter the show's opening title sequence.
This is one of the only bad things about Jojo, that it doesn't really hook readers in. No parts deserve to be skipped, especially part 1, but people might skip because of that. And on no account does the godly part 2 deserve to be skipped because you didn't like the first literal NINE episodes.
Yes, they are connected. Just from Wikipedia about Season 1 (the 2012 series), The first season aired in Japan between October 5, 2012 and April 5, 2013, with episodes 1-9 covering the Phantom Blood arc, and episodes 10-26 covering the Battle Tendency arc.

'PHANTOM BLOOD' IS THE BEGINNING (BUT A LITTLE ROUGH) If you want the full JoJo experience, starting at the beginning is the way to go, but be aware of what you're getting into. Phantom Blood, which is Part 1 of JoJo's Bizarre Adventure, is a quick watch; it is only nine episodes long and it certainly has its charms.
The recent release of JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Stone Ocean puts our lead JoJo count at six: Jonathan, Joseph, Jotaro, Josuke, Giorno, and Jolyne.
Adoptive brother to the first JoJo, Dio, becomes a evil vampire after already being a pretty evil dog murder. Jonathan Joestar has to master a mystical art named Hamon to stop Dio from taking over tte world.
Joseph Joestar, the second JoJo, emerges here. Battle Tendency follows his journey mastering the Hamon and preventing the Pillar Men from rising to power. This era takes place during World War II and sees JoJo go up against the Nazis.
Arguably the most popular and well known installment in the JoJo’s franchise, this episode introduces viewers to Jotaro Kujo, the third JoJo. Jotaro unlocks the ability to conjure a Stand, and it turns out Dio still lives on by posessing the original JoJo: Jonathan Joestar.
The fourth JoJo, Josuke Higashikata, learns about a mystical arrow that gives people Stands, as well as a serial killer who has been using their Stand to kill the residents of his hometown, Morioh. Josuke sets out to stop the murderer once and for all and bring peace to his town. Diamond Is Unbreakable takes place in 1999.
In 2001, Giorno Giovanna, the fifth JoJo, infiltrates the Italian mob in an attempt to take over the mob and stop them from dealing drugs to young kids. Giorno sets out to make his own gang from the inside, in an attempt to unmask the mysterious mob leader and replace him.

The sixth JoJo is sent to jail for a crime she didn’t commit and tries to escape at the advice of her father, Jotaro Kujo. Unlike the past four seasons, the sixth JoJo is a female character: Joylyne Cujoh.

The way Jojo's is formatted means that it never feels stale. Each part is constantly reinventing itself and while there's no Jojo's part that's bad, some parts are more popular than others. Here's how they stack up.
It takes place in Morioh in the new continuity that was established in part 7.
Jojo's Bizarre Adventure is not your typical manga/anime series. It doesn't follow a single narrative, instead, it's broken up into separate parts each with its own set of characters, villains, setting, story, and even its own Jojo. It's a unique way to set up a series and it's proved to stand ...
All of the characters in Jojolion are dripping with psychological depth, from the main players and villains down to the minor, one-off characters. Between that and the focus on strategic Stand battles, it's no wonder that Jojolion has been so well-received.
0. Comment. JoJo's Bizarre Adventure, created by manga legend Hirohiko Araki, has no doubt become one of the most popular anime franchises in the world over the past few years. What started off as a niche show filled with inside jokes and crazy poses is now a phenomenon that seemingly everyone has an opinion of.
The OVAs only cover Stardust Crusaders and originally pick up right when the team arrives in Egypt to confront DIO. Unfortunately, it omits many of the battles seen in the manga. Eventually, the first half of Part 3 was animated in 2000 to fill in the blanks viewers might have had going into it. For a series from the 90s-00s, the animation is stellar , and any fan of the series would do well to watch these OVAs at least once.
The old OVAs (which we'll discuss later) and the JoJo's game in arcades and on Sega Dreamcast are all inspired by Part 3. Jotaro is often ranked as the most popular Joestar due to his cool, calm demeanor, badass fighting style, and his incredible stand Star Platinum.
Stardust Crusaders, or Part 3, might be the most recognizable part in terms of main characters. This part stars Jotaro Kujo, a buff, oversized high school student, and a returning (but much older) Joseph Joestar, as they try to save Holly Kujo, their mother and daughter, respectively, from a spiritual force that's slowly killing her. The duo, along with a cast of other friends, travels across the globe to defeat DIO, who survived the events of Part 1 and amassed an army of Stand users ready to defeat the Crusaders and squash the Joestar bloodline once and for all. Stands are, as Joseph describes, "physical manifestations of a user's spiritual energy" and take many different forms. Some, like Jotaro's Star Platinum, are humanoids that enjoy beating the tar out of anything that stands in its way. Others have more niche uses - but all are inherently dangerous.
Diamond is Unbreakable is the fourth part of the JoJo's saga and sees a drastic shift in the tone and style of the series. It's much more colorful, with an abundance of purples, oranges, and yellows, a stark contrast to Stardust's muted color palette. Things seem a bit more cartoony and the first half of the series is much goofier than its predecessors. That doesn't last long, as eventually series protagonists Josuke Higashikata, Koichi Hirose, Okuyasu Nijimura, Rohan Kishibe, and the returning Jotaro Kujo encounter a serial killer with a twisted sense of self.
