So, you've heard about this wild anime called JoJo's Bizarre Adventure? It's... well, it's bizarre! But in the best way possible.
Think stylish poses, over-the-top action, and a family saga spanning generations. Intrigued? Great! Let's get you watching it the right way.
The Order of the JoJo-ness
Don't just jump in randomly! JoJo is chronological. Watching it in order is crucial for understanding the story and characters.
Part 1: Phantom Blood
This is where it all begins. Meet Jonathan Joestar, the original JoJo, and his adopted brother Dio Brando.
Think Victorian England meets vampire shenanigans. It's short but sets the stage for everything else.
Part 2: Battle Tendency
Next up, Joseph Joestar, Jonathan's grandson. He's a trickster with a knack for getting into trouble.
Get ready for ancient super beings called the Pillar Men and a whole lot of clever fighting.
Part 3: Stardust Crusaders
This is where things get *really* crazy. Jotaro Kujo, Joseph's grandson, discovers he has a Stand: a powerful, psychic manifestation.
They embark on a globetrotting adventure to defeat Dio, who's back and more menacing than ever. Prepare for iconic battles and unforgettable characters like
Polnareff and Kakyoin!
Part 4: Diamond is Unbreakable
Meet Josuke Higashikata, another JoJo, and he's got a killer hairstyle. Seriously, don't insult it.
This part takes place in the peaceful town of Morioh, which is hiding a dark secret. A string of bizarre murders plagues the town, and it's up to Josuke and his friends to solve the mystery.
Part 5: Golden Wind
Now we're in Italy with Giorno Giovanna, Dio's son (yes, really!). He dreams of becoming a Gang-Star (gangster superstar).
He joins a mafia gang and fights his way up the ranks, battling Stand users along the way. Expect stylish battles and even more stylish poses.
Part 6: Stone Ocean
Meet Jolyne Cujoh, Jotaro's daughter, who is framed for a crime she didn't commit and sent to prison. But this is no ordinary prison.
It's a breeding ground for Stand users, and a sinister plot is brewing. Get ready for a mind-bending adventure with Jolyne at the helm.
Part 7: Steel Ball Run
This is a reboot of sorts, set in an alternate universe. Think Wild West meets Stand battles.
It follows Johnny Joestar, a paraplegic jockey, as he participates in a dangerous cross-country race. It's a long and thrilling ride.
Part 8: JoJolion
Still set in Morioh, but it's a *different* Morioh. A massive earthquake has reshaped the town, creating strange and mysterious formations.
Josuke Higashikata (another one!) is found with amnesia and a bizarre condition. He must uncover his past while navigating the strange new landscape.
Why Should You Bother?
JoJo is more than just an anime. It's a cultural phenomenon.
The unique art style, the over-the-top characters, and the creative Stand battles are unlike anything else you'll see. Plus, it's genuinely funny!
Each part brings something new to the table, but they're all connected by the Joestar bloodline and a shared sense of adventure.
So, are you ready to embark on this bizarre journey? Trust me, you won't regret it. Now go watch JoJo!
