About JoJo's Bizarre Adventure

If you are hunting for a new action series, JoJo's Bizarre Adventure (ジョジョの奇妙な冒険) deserves a look (1993). The setup goes like this. What the story covers: Kujo Jotaro is a normal, popular Japanese high-schooler, until he thinks that he is possessed by a spirit, and locks himself in prison. After seeing his grandfather, Joseph Joestar, and fighting Joseph's friend Muhammad Abdul, Jotaro learns that the "Spirit" is actually Star Platinum, his Stand, or fighting energy given a semi-solid form.

As things develop, later, his mother gains a Stand, and becomes sick. Jotaro learns that it is because the vampire Dio Brando has been revived 100 years after his defeat to Jonathan Joestar, Jotaro's great-great-grandfather. Jotaro decides to join Joseph and Abdul in a trip to Egypt to defeat Dio once and for all.

In an action series like this, fight choreography, pacing and sound design carry much of the weight. Voice work is led by Juurouta Kosugi as Joutarou Kuujou and Nobuo Tanaka as Dio Brando. It will appeal most to viewers who like fast, high-impact fights. At 6 episodes in total, it is easy to plan a viewing schedule.

Production & Appeal

Production sits with APPP, which means the visual identity of JoJo's Bizarre Adventure follows that studio's craft. The action focus matters here: fight choreography, pacing and sound design carry much of the weight. At 7.3/10 it earns a solid reception, a safe pick for fans of the genre. Voice casting, including Juurouta Kosugi as Joutarou Kuujou, adds to the appeal for fans who follow seiyuu. Released in 1993, it competed with that season's other new series for attention.
