About JoJo's Bizarre Adventure

Here is what JoJo's Bizarre Adventure (JoJo no Kimyou na Bouken) is about, retold in plain terms: an adventure, fantasy and supernatural anime by APPP (1993). The premise: 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 companion 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 grows 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.

In an adventure series like this, exploration, new locations and a steady sense of momentum drive the story. This one is best suited to anyone who enjoys travel-the-world storytelling.
