This would be fine if not for the fact that part 7 was over by that point and part 8 was well underway, which makes the absence conspicuous. Most notably, however, the montage only went up to Jolyne with no Johnny or part 8’s Josuke in sight. They were the first drip of content if you wanted to see, say, Josuke or Giorno years before their animes were in production. It essentially implied that the other parts were known and could possibly be adapted in the future (which, as of 6’s announcement, they have). That opening begins with a bang, recapping moments of the first six Jojos in a blink-and-you’ll-miss-it montage. Starting off, we trek back to the very first Jojo opening (legit ever, since before this we only had an OVA and some video games to work with if you wanted to see the series in motion) Phantom Blood’s Sono Chi No Sadame. For now, I’d like to take a look into what exactly could hold back this anime from being fully realized, and how it relates to the Jojo anime production schedule and “hints” dropped by the series so far. To see a part finally animated that was so integral to my early manga days excited is an understatement. What does this mean for future adaptations of the series? As stated before, I adore part 7 and would love to see it in motion someday, and part 8 is incredible to catch monthly. It was insanity! How do you make a fan-cam from a single image! After the dust settled though, it got me thinking. I even saw a fan-cam created of the single image of Jolyne we got at the announcement. Non-Jojo fans got their timelines clogged like the arteries of your average American viewer. The day it got announced, Twitter was such a smorgasbord of Jojo fanart it was like a never-ending Artists Alley at a con. The recent announcement of the Stone Ocean anime adaptation had the community in an uproar that would rival Carnivál. That is to say, everything is trying to kill you, people have inexplicable abilities, and Mickey Mouse is there. Like it’s a series whose hallmark is weirdness it’s baked into the damn title! But 6 manages to truthfully portray what it’s like to live in Florida. Though 7 remains my favorite part overall, I respect 6 immensely for just how goddamn weird it is. Regardless, I felt enough regret as to jump back to 6 immediately after, filling in some minor contexts for the series. I was told that this wouldn’t affect my understanding of the series or something. I have a confession to make though in my original read-through of the series, I took a friend’s recommendation and skipped part 6 (Stone Ocean) entirely, rather going straight to part 7 (Steel Ball Run). From there I made my way through the manga, beginning with Phantom Blood and working my way up to Jojolion, and I’ve been a dedicated reader since, enjoying new chapters every month or so when they drop. After being goaded into watching the anime adaptation mid 2015 or so, I’ve been hooked. Starting with the first series that covered the Phantom Blood and Battle Tendency arcs, the anime series then adapted Stardust Crusaders in 2014-15, Diamond Is Unbreakable in 2016, and Golden Wind in 2018-19.īeyond the upcoming Stone Ocean anime series, there are still two major arcs of JoJo writer and illustrator Hirohiko Araki's saga left to cover, Steel Ball Run and JoJolion.I love JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure. JoJo's Bizarre Adventure has been an anime fixture since the manga was adapted for television in 2012. JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure: Stone Ocean Voice Cast Not to be confused by the long-running rock band fronted by that one guy who looks like the drummer from Nirvana. Just like her father, Jolyne also awakens her own Stand, Stone Free, and gains the ability to unravel her body into string and other close-range physical abilities similar to her father's Stand Star Platinum.Īnimation studio David Production confirmed that Daisuke Ono will once again reprise his role as Jotaro, while the rest of the cast includes Ai Fairouz as Jolyne, Mutsumi Tamura as Ermes Costello, and Mariya Ise as Foo Fighters.
