Jojo's Bizarre Adventure

[Lain]

The popular manga has now been animated into an anime by David's Production. They have recently announced part 4 "Diamond is Unbreakable" shall be animated next. As well as this, the next entry in the spin off series "Thus Spoke Rohan Kishibe" has been announced, "Weather Rain" shall be released in December.

That said, which is your favourite part and protagonist?

NOTE: As the anime has brought in a lot of new fans, anyone who has read the manga please spoiler tag anything spoilery that has not yet been animated.

I would definitely recommend the new anime made by David's Production. Season 1 (2012) starts right at the beginning of the franchise, so you don't need to know anything. It can be bought dubbed or you can watch it subbed on crunchyroll.

During its 25 year run, Jojo has had 8 different stories, 7 completed with the 8th "Jojolion" currently running in Ultra Jump. Each story features a different generation of the Joestar family fighting against evil on a grand adventure, spanning from 1880 all the way to 2014.

My personal favourite is Part 7 "Steel Ball Run" which features Johnny Joestar, a jockey who competes in a horse race from San Diego to New York in the Wild West. Little does he know that a dark conspiracy surrounds the race and he will have to fight more than just the othr racers to survive.

I love this series!

Also, Josuke is best JoJo, but Giorno is most OP JoJo

I read a few of the manga arcs (saga?) and its a pretty cool series with interesting powers/battles. I'm a fan of the lead for series 7 Johnny Joestar and the lead for series 8 mostly because they are fresh in my mind.

haven't gotten into the anime yet.

I used well to see now Fanarts and whole screenies from this anime/manga on Tumblr ( especially mine dashboard thanks from some blogs i follow) well in beggining im slightly now intrested so guys what parts you would recommend for someone who not readen/seen or played games based on this ??

 

[Innsmouth]

OMG yes! Part IV is actually my favourite one, with Jotaro my favourite protagonist from part III. I respect "Crusaders" as most classic one, but Part IV is just so awesome with it's thriller/crime/suspense undertones. Also I think it has the most awesome villain in JoJo universe.

I would recommend you start at the beginning with Part 1: "Phantom Blood", either the manga or the 2012 anime adaptation.

I knew about the manga beforehand, but the anime got me into it. So far Phantom Blood and the 2nd part whose name escapes me are my faves.

@DreadnoughtDT
Part 2 is called "Battle Tendency" :wink:

Indeed Part 4 is very awesome and Kira Yoshikage is an amazing villain.

Yep I really really hope they integrate Dead Man's Questions in it as well, since it will be awesome to have this small spinoff about him.

Thinking about it, i'm suprised they announced Part 4 so quickly. They took a year out in between parts 2 & 3 so I was expecting them to do the same this time. Still means that we'll have to wait a long time in order to see Part 7 animated :'(

Well, until then I can enjoy watching the Vomics of part 7.

 

[Innsmouth]

Personally Im hyped for Part V and IV the most

 

[Innsmouth]

So Jojo's Bizarre Adventure series as a whole.
More or less appealing than StreetFighter ?

umm It doesnt really has much in common with SF. It started as knock-off of Fist of the North Star and grown into something unique by the third part

Not really the same genre.
Even each part are different from each other.

I've gotten so used to voices from the recent video games that it'll be weird hearing these new actors.

 

[Lain]

They have released a preview for Part 4 of the anime. "Diamond is Unbreakable" sorry for the poor quality, I'll maybe upload another one when a better vid comes out.

Looking pretty good. Though Josuke's face does look a little weird in places.
