About JoJo's Bizarre Adventure

Meet JoJo's Bizarre Adventure (ジョジョの奇妙な冒険), an action, adventure and drama anime by APPP (1993). Here is the premise in a nutshell. The setup: 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 ally Muhammad Abdul, Jotaro learns that the "Spirit" is actually Star Platinum, his Stand, or fighting energy given a semi-solid form.

Soon after, later, his mother gains a Stand, and turns into 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 chooses to join Joseph and Abdul in a trip to Egypt to defeat Dio once and for all.

With action at the core, fight choreography, pacing and sound design carry much of the weight. Joutarou Kuujou (Juurouta Kosugi) and Dio Brando (Nobuo Tanaka) are two of the characters you will meet early. This one is best suited to viewers who like fast, high-impact fights. The run is 6 episodes in total, so you know what you are signing up for.

Production & Appeal

Animation is handled by APPP, so the studio's house style defines how JoJo's Bizarre Adventure looks and moves on screen. Within the action category, 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.
